You know Midnight, Texas is different, but it takes a while before you really know who the key players are or rather WHAT they are. ![]() Trying to look at this from the perspective of someone just reading the book who has NOT watched the television show my gut feeling tells me it may be a tad confusing. In retrospect, I am almost glad I watched the first season before beginning. Midnight Crossroad is very much like the television show with some slight changes mostly in casting. I loved the first season of Midnight, Texas on NBC and although I own and have not read the Sookie series I decided to dive in and begin the Midnight, Texas trilogy. ![]() ![]() As film director, producter, and screenwriter, he had given us several scary films, including the aforementioned adaptation of The Hellbound Heart and Candyman (1992). When Stephen King read Barker’s Books of Blood, he dubbed Barker “the future of horror.” To fulfill that prophecy, Barker had made a big impact in all aspects of the horror and fantasy entertainment. Since this was a new way to acquire and enjoy a novel, I gave it a try.Ĭlive Barker was born in Liverpool, England in 1952, but he now lives with his partner in Beverly Hills. Why not read it? Better yet, I discovered that I could borrow it on my Kindle from the local library. In searching for those novels, I came across Clive Barker’s The Hellbound Heart, the literary source behind the movie. Fast forward to this year and to my project to read several short novels. Since its tone was body horror rather than suspenseful horror, it wasn’t quite to my taste, but I still enjoyed it. ![]() So you’ll understand why, back in 1987, when Hellraiser was released, I felt tempted to see it.

![]() His four-seam fastball has some ride to it and typically hovers in the mid-90s. The 10.98 strikeouts per nine innings might not be an accurate barometer of Miller’s ability to overpower hitters. “And you start projecting out a lot of it plays into their personality, and how routine-orientated is he?” “You're looking at him, is this guy a starter? Is this guy a reliever?” Seattle manager Scott Servais told MLB.com after Miller had a particularly impressive live bullpen session at big league camp last week. In 27 total outings, he finished with a 3.16 ERA and 163 punchouts over 133 ⅔ innings while holding opposing batters to a. 98 overall prospect mixed in a start at Single-A Modesto as he climbed from High-A Everett to Double-A Arkansas in his first full season in 2022. It seemed that the 6-foot-2, 180-pound right-hander was destined to be either a reliever who moved quickly up the Minor League ladder or a starter who would need some patience to crack the big leagues.Īs it turns out, Miller has marched through the ranks pretty fast, but as a starter. While there was plenty of confidence in his talent on the mound, many were interested to see which path the club would choose for his development.

The Global North is often framed in masculine terms while, in contrast, the Global South is feminized because the global capitalist system is inherently tied to gendered notions of consumerism, colonialism, and environmental degradation. I draw upon the theoretical framework provided by ecofeminist scholars to demonstrate how privileged white women who travel to the Global South to “find themselves” can absorb culture in an apolitical way. Through placing Eat, Pray, Love in dialogue with feminist thought, I argue that the Western-appropriated notion of spirituality has catered to privileged people within the Global North, all of whom have the economic privilege and geopolitical abilities to travel and participate in a consumerist system that frames spirituality and self-exploration within gendered terms. In my analysis, I use Elizabeth Gilbert’s novel Eat, Pray, Love as a starting point to understand the complexities of neoliberal “spirituality” and self-help tourism. ![]() In this paper, I examine the links between privilege and the gendered neoliberal notions of self-exploration via travel.
