The definitive oral history of the cult classic Dazed and Confused, featuring behind-the-scenes stories from the cast, crew, and Oscar-nominated director Richard Linklater. Dazed and Confused not only heralded the arrival of filmmaker Richard Linklater, it introduced a cast of unknowns who would become the next generation of movie stars. Embraced as a cultural touchstone, the 1993 film would also make Matthew McConaughey’s famous phrase—alright, alright, alright—ubiquitous. But it started with a simple idea: Linklater thought people might like to watch a movie about high school kids just hanging out and listening to music on the last day of school in 1976.

«Сыны Каина» – глобальная история серийных убийц как явления, охватывающая огромный временной период, от каменного века до наших дней, изложенная профессиональным историком-криминалистом, доктором исторических наук. Это подробное исследование феномена серийных убийц на протяжении всей истории человечества, их эволюции и того, почему их ужасающие преступления так занимают наши умы.
До того как этот термин начал широко использоваться (с 1981 года), не было «серийных убийц». Были только «монстры» – убийцы, которых общество сначала воспринимало как оборотней, вампиров, упырей и ведьм, а позже – как хичкоковских психов.

Winner of the 2022 Eisner Award for Best Comics-Related Book. The first-ever full reckoning with Marvel Comics’ interconnected, half-million-page story, a revelatory guide to the “epic of epics”—and to the past sixty years of American culture—from a beloved authority on the subject who read all 27,000+ Marvel superhero comics and lived to tell the tale. The superhero comic books that Marvel Comics has published since 1961 are, as Douglas Wolk notes, the longest continuous, self-contained work of fiction ever created: over half a million pages to date, and still growing. The Marvel story is a gigantic mountain smack in the middle of contemporary culture.
