As formally inventive as readers have come to expect from one of the most daring writers around, and as wild and tricky as its subject matter requires, Goblinhood: Goblin as a Mode presents us with a series of essays and poems that playfully, artfully propound Jen Calleja's theory of 'goblinhood'——a theory that takes in all aspects of pop culture from film, tv, literature and art as well as the author's personal and original examinations of grief, lust, family histories and the physical fact of living in the world as it is. Goblinhood is a perpetually and variously curious, visceral addition to Calleja's remarkable oeuvre.

Just when Allen and the No-life Gamers think they’ve finally bought themselves some time to savor clearing of the Rank S dungeon, they receive a call for help from the Holy Land of Elmahl. The execution of the Pontiff of Daemonism has failed, and the capital has gone up in flames. Worse yet, just as the Gamers prepare to depart, reports begin pouring in about multiple invasions by the Demon Lord Army... As Allen embarks on his latest adventure, he also finds himself confronted with the challenge of what it means to be a leader and learning to respect his friends’ wishes—even if it means allowing one of them to knowingly put their life on the line!

A new adventure awaits Allen as he enters the service of a noble! After climbing up the social ladder from serf to manservant, Allen now finds himself dragged around by the whims of the willful young lady of the house, Cecil Granvelle. Despite this, he is free to leave the city—and immerse himself in hunting monsters! As Allen meticulously grinds on goblins and orcs, both he and his Summons grow stronger by the day. At the same time, he begins to earn the trust of the members of House Granvelle with his diligent work ethic. Just as everything seems to be going well, however, the viscount overseeing the next fiefdom over seems to be up to something. As danger creeps toward Cecil, Allen declares, “I promised to protect you, Lady Cecil. And I keep my promises.” Going all out with his skills and Summons, Allen must resist evil and impending doom!

If you love spending time alone, One for Joy is for you. Solitude is more than the absence of other people. It’s an experience just like any other, and it can be as joyful, valuable and inspiring as any other aspect of our lives. It’s time we rediscovered the lost art of being alone. One for Joy is a treasure trove of ideas, stories and reflections that looks at every side of solitude: - Why solitude is so important for introverts, and why our need to be alone is sometimes hard for others to understand - How we experience solitude, and how solitude and company relate to each other - The many ways to be alone, from brief daydreams to solo journeys, everywhere from wide-open spaces to cosy nooks - The benefits of solitude, from resting and recharging to focused work, self-care and deep reflection - Ideas and reflections on solitude from Byron and Charlotte Brontë to Bo Burnham and Kate Bush, and fictional characters from Pippi Longstocking to Darth Vader - How digital technology and social media have changed our experience of solitude. Wide-ranging and insightful, with a light and readable style, One for Joy is a fun and fascinating read for anyone who’s happy on their own.

Kenichi Yamada, now Allen, continues his MMORPG life in Hell Mode. As he slowly levels up, he learns just how gradual his growth is compared to others’. From obtaining new Summons and skills to fighting terrifying monsters like a murdergalsh, his life is still filled with discoveries and hardships! And when the white dragon decides to migrate after a century, his situation changes—he’s now on the hunt to gain as much XP as possible. In contrast to Allen’s determination, however, Mihai, the oldest of the Granvelle children, seems less than thrilled about shouldering his noble house’s responsibility. What emotions hide behind his seemingly fearless smile?

This open access book provides thought-provoking anthropology grounded in comparative ethnography. The theory captures the current historical moment, the long-term trends that led us here, and the prospects for a humane future. The experience of complexity characterizing a globalized information society triggers simplexes. These unidimensional responses instrumental in bringing about a predictable effect are altering our ways of communicating and the technologies we design. In Part I, a ‘speciated’ history, injected with the anthropology of Bateson and Gluckman, describes the semantic and experiential impoverishment of the lifeworld. After going through the affects of distrust (the neolithic lifeway), of futility (industrial lifeway) and disconnection (post-knowledge), the human species today depends for its survival on installing a new lifeway, which manages to wed (eco-social) inclusion to the already difficult first pair of the French Revolution. The species needs to rehumanize. Part II illustrates the remedies currently developed: to reframe, re-sphere and re-source. What do critical street art, international football matches, presidential elections, hip-hop dissing performances, charismatic church services, intuition stimulation, and ‘pre-ceptive’ experiences of consciousness have in common? They are moments of the real. Rooted in ‘life sensing’, they are tensors organizing frameshift. As multiplex measures tackling the simplex, these tensors overcome the cultural relativism of the postmodern matrix.

There are three things Nellie Belanger can say for certain: Her final year of university might be a little harder than expected. She’s definitely not spiralling. She clearly just needs to get laid. Which is obviously the only reason she jumps to help out JP Marchand the moment he asks for a favour that involves a weekend getaway, a sexy gondola ride, and oh yeah, being his fake girlfriend for the night. When an impulsive decision (or five) leads to the revelation of a secret (…or five) and Nellie is faced with the consequences of her own actions, her spiral leads her to the one person she’s begun to realize she can always count on. But with JP revealing a secret (or five?) of his own, Nellie’s left wondering three big things: How much does she really know about her best friend’s brother? What does she actually want from him? And most importantly… Why is she like this? -- This is book 3 of the ongoing If You Can series, a series of books following an unapologetically sensual college student on her journey from bed to bed. They feature multiple love interests/spicy partners with no love triangles or cheating. This concludes the current plotline of the series. Keep Me If You Can is not a standalone and is best read after Hold Me If You Can, but a series summary can be found at the beginning of the book for readers who would rather jump into this story first.
