The aim of this text is to use stories to describe and explain the journey from 'new media in communication' to 'new media is communication.' In so doing it provides a thorough grounding in communication and new media theory and practice for undergraduate students. The premise that for generation Y and Z, new media can no longer be easily distinguished from communication underpins the text; for them, new media is communication. It therefore encourages the reader to understand how they use 'new' media to do 'old' things. The first section of the book introduces the reader to the building blocks of communication; its basic tools, devices and approaches. The second section takes the ideas and concepts in the first part and applies them to 'new' media. Covered here are topics including ideology in film and television, organisational communication, values in the new digital world and how identity, privacy, deception and truth have been redefined. The third and final part looks at communication today; exploring what it might be like to live in an increasingly digital world.

The stranger at the side of the road doesn’t know much about himself, but he knows he is definitely not Elvis. That aside, the baby driving the car has his own set of problems. Now they’re off to experience the southwest in the only vehicle that makes sense for both of them: a carnation-pink 1963 Cadillac El Dorado... MagicCon is an ordinary fantasy/science fiction convention. Three days of comic books, anime, and X-Files jokes, which is exactly what Larry and his friends are looking for. Unfortunately for Larry, a long-forgotten Roman god named Stercutus is primed to make a comeback, and this particular god’s sphere of influence really stinks... Set in and around the fictional city of San Cibola, Gods New and Used is a stand-alone companion piece to Clockwork Storybook, an online shared world anthology of urban fantasy. Mark Finn’s contributions are often larger than life; they can be both sublime and ridiculous, both wise and painfully dumb. Like the gods he portrays, Finn’s writing style ranges from heroic to slap-happy, weaving together broad comedy and genuine emotion into something that is nothing less than true to life. The stories in this collection showcase what Finn does best: corralling the supernatural and the archetypal, and bringing them down to earth, to sit next to you in the passenger seat as you cruise along a highway somewhere in the California desert. Here you will meet the embodiments of love, of thunder, and of rock and roll, and discover about them what is frequently overlooked: that the gods are often more human than we are.

Sam Bowen is half-shaman, half-witch, and all rogue.  He has wandered all over the country on a desperate quest: to find the source of the curse that has destroyed his family and reverse it, if he can. Now, in the magic-steeped city of San Cibola, he may finally uncover the answers he seeks.    As Bowen comes to grips with his new home in San Cibola’s Chinatown, strange obligations to his adopted family put him in harm’s way over and over again. Will Bowen master the dangers of the big city, or will his personal demons overwhelm him?  Year of the Hare is a fast, action-packed, post-modern pulp story with surprises and a wry quip around every corner.

Robert E. Howard, creator of Conan, King Kull, and others that defined heroic fantasy, lived and died in the small town of Cross Plains, Texas. While his books remain in print, Howard himself has fallen into obscurity, his life mired in speculation and half-truth. This engaging biography traces the roots of his writings, correcting long-standing misconceptions, and offers a tour of Howard's world as he saw it: through his own incomparable imagination. This is the updated and expanded second edition of the Monkeybrain Books 2006 edition.This is the author's "director's cut" of his popular biography of Texas writer and creator of Conan the Cimmerian, Robert E. Howard and includes new information and facts that were not known during the writing of the first edition, an expanded chapter on Conan, a total of 35,000 more words, and expanded and corrected chapters on Howard's boxing stories, his westerns, both humorous and serious, and the events leading up to Howard's death as well as what happened afterward. Also included are an expanded and corrected index and bibliography, and author's notes on each chapter. This is Finn's definitive version of his biography, and one that any fan of Robert E. Howard will want to own.
