From the award-winning author of The Passenger comes the third novel in the hilarious Spellman Files mystery series featuring Isabel “Izzy” Spellman (part Nancy Drew, part Dirty Harry) and her highly functioning yet supremely dysfunctional family of private investigators. Private investigator Isabel Spellman is back on the case and back on the couch—in courtordered therapy after getting a little too close to her previous subject, leaving Izzy on hiatus from Spellman Inc. But when her boss, Milo, simultaneously cuts her bartending hours and introduces her to a “friend” looking for a private eye, Izzy reluctantly finds herself with a new client. She assures herself that the case—a suspicious husband who wants his wife tailed—will be short and sweet, and will involve nothing more than the most boring of PI rituals: surveillance. But with each passing hour, Izzy finds herself with more questions than hard evidence. Meanwhile, Spellmania continues. Izzy’s brother, David, the family’s most upright member, has adopted an uncharacteristically unkempt appearance and attitude toward work, life, and Izzy. And their wayward youngest sister, Rae, a historic academic underachiever, aces the PSATs and subsequently offends her study partner and object of obsession, Detective Henry Stone, to the point of excommunication. The only unsurprising behavior comes from her parents, whose visits to Milo’s bar amount to thinly veiled surveillance and artful attempts (read: blackmail) at getting Izzy to return to the Spellman Inc. fold. As the case of the wayward wife continues to vex her, Izzy’s personal life—and mental health—seem to be disintegrating. Facing a housing crisis, she can’t sleep, she can’t remember where she parked her car, and, despite her shrinks’ (yes, plural) persistence, she can’t seem to break through in her appointments. She certainly can’t explain why she forgets dates with her lawyer’s grandson, or fails to interpret the come-ons issued in an Irish brogue by Milo’s new bartender. Nor can she explain exactly how she feels about Detective Henry Stone and his plans to move in with his new Assistant DA girlfriend. Filled with the signature side-splitting Spellman antics, Revenge of the Spellmans is an ingenious, hilarious, and disarmingly tender installment in the Spellman series.

The "Prologue" is an event or action that leads to another event or situation. This book is the Prologue to Books I through Book V.As Book VI, it frames early childhood events and situations that laid the foundation and subsequently led to and materialized a bogus investigation, high-tech COINTELPRO covert silencing tactics, designed to cover up decades of ongoing nonconsensual human experimentation beginning with many in early childhood. It is a mesmerizing quick read. The question is, "Has sex, been used as a weapon against us, in historic, trauma-based mind control programs, and for mind control programming?"The fact is when we understand the sexual force and its focus, by those deeming themselves the "Handlers" of humanity, a connection evolves related to the explosion of Pedophilia, Human Trafficking, connecting the covert use of high tech, patented, sexual stimulation technology as part of a hideous plan. The Agenda... Keep humanity operating at the level of animals and in a primal state thereby easy to control with occult "Sex Magic" and drugs that date back to antiquity. The painful Awakening in the reality for thousands of Targeted Individuals across America and millions globally is the Earth-shattering realization of likely having been part of a systematic, horrific, monstrous, ongoing human experimentation program, with various testing areas on individuals, groups, communities, and populations, which never ended, Post MKULTRA, taken underground for good reason by governments all over the world for decades. The red pill leads to knowledge, freedom, uncertainty, and the brutal truths of reality. The blue pill leads to happiness, beauty, and the blissful ignorance of illusion. When given the choice, after the fact, ultimately I took the blue pill. I had already lived the red pill existence having been taken down the Rabbit Hole documented in this book then awakened. In this awakening, I realized that life is just not a pretty place sometimes. I learned also that within the "blissful ignorance of the illusion" I would not be engulfed by the reality of this program's heinous existence or sorrowful as a result. When it was all said and done, with this choice, life becomes a place of happiness and beauty through awareness.
Death, like most experiences that we think of as natural, is a product of the human imagination: all animals die, but only human beings suffer Death; and what they suffer is shaped by their own time and culture. Tragedy was one of the principal instruments through which the culture of early modern England imagined the encounter with mortality. The essays in this book approach the theatrical reinvention of Death from three perspectives. Those in Part I explore Death as a trope of apocalypse — a moment of un-veiling or dis-covery that is figured both in the fearful nakedness of the Danse Macabre and in the shameful openings enacted in the new theatres of anatomy. Separate chapters explore the apocalyptic design of two of the periods most powerful tragedies — Shakespeare's Othello, and Middleton and Rowley's The Changeling. In Part 2, Neill explores the psychological and affective consequences of tragedy's fiercely end-driven narrative in a number of plays where a longing for narrative closure is pitched against a particularly intense dread of ending. The imposition of an end is often figured as an act of writerly violence, committed by the author or his dramatic surrogate. Extensive attention is paid to Hamlet as an extreme example of the structural consequences of such anxiety. The function of revenge tragedy as a response to the radical displacement of the dead by the Protestant abolition of purgatory — one of the most painful aspects of the early modern re-imagining of death — is also illustrated with particular clarity. Finally, Part 3 focuses on the way tragedy articulates its challenge to the undifferentiating power of death through conventions and motifs borrowed from the funereal arts. It offers detailed analyses of three plays — Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra, Webster's The Duchess of Malfi, and Ford's The Broken Heart. Here, funeral is rewritten as triumph, and death becomes the chosen instrument of an heroic self-fashioning designed to dress the arbitrary abruption of mortal ending in a powerful aesthetic of closure.
