DOWNLOAD EBOOKA comprehensive and sustained analysis of the development of storytelling for television Over the past two decades, new technologies, changing viewer practices, and the proliferation of genres and channels has transformed American television. One of the most notable impacts of these shifts is the emergence of highly complex and elaborate forms of serial narrative, resulting in a robust period of formal experimentation and risky programming rarely seen in a medium that is typically viewed as formulaic and convention bound. Complex TV offers a sustained analysis of the poetics of television narrative, focusing on how storytelling has changed in recent years and how viewers make sense of these innovations. Through close analyses of key programs, including The Wire, Lost, Breaking Bad, The Sopranos, Veronica Mars, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and Mad Men the book traces the emergence of this narrative mode, focusing on issues such as viewer comprehension, transmedia storytelling, serial authorship, character change, and cultural evaluation. Developing a television-specific set of narrative theories, Complex TV argues that television is the most vital and important storytelling medium of our time.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis is the second book in a new vampire series called 'Memoirs of a Vampire Countess' by DC Johnson. This second book is written from the perspective of Countess Cori. The first book in this series, written from the perspective of Countess Isabella, has been signed to a movie deal and will be movie theaters in 2013. My name is Cori. I am Countess of the former Moon Coven, now called Clann Sanctum. I have seen much bloodshed in the little time I have been vampire. My human life was to be pitied, it provided me no peace. Now with my night mother, Isabella, no longer leading us, I am trying to bring what semblance of peace I can to a coven that has never known anything of the kind. Living amongst vampires guarantees an eventful existence. We long for what you humans consider 'dull', but we can't have this at any cost. As I pen this page, we not only harbor a 'forbidden one' but we break another of the most sacred of vampiric law that will surely bring upon us certain death from the High Vampire Council. We even seek to destroy a new species we created somehow by accident, but you need not worry...unless we fail. My hope is that this journal will complete the tale we vampires need to finish telling you about our kind, so that there may be some peace for both of us when you all learn we really do exist and we secretly live among you in the dark. Right now, I would not go outside if I were human...I can only hope that this journal reaches you in time.
