Behind White Picket Fences
Fusing page-turning suspense with keenly observed humor, this homage to female friendship explores the hamster wheel of modern motherhood, and the consequences for jumping off. Kiersten Cleaver feels like she’s flunking Motherhood 101. Exhausted by travel sports, homework, and her son’s dyslexia, she joins forces with her neighbors, Rosamund and Piper, to drop out of the scholastic rat race for one year. Together, they start the Beaverbrook Academy for Inquiring Minds in Kiersten’s kitchen, embarking on a journey back to the idyllic life they experienced as children, when phones were attached to the wall and kids played outside until the streetlights came on at dusk. But the women quickly realize fractions aren’t their only problem. A sixty-year-old diary discovered in Kiersten’s basement raises unsettling questions about their neighborhood, their safety, and the seemingly simpler past. Their picture-perfect suburb disguises deadly secrets—and someone wants to keep them hidden. As unsettling events rattle their fragile utopia, Kiersten, Rosamund, and Piper face an impossible choice. And if they expose the truth, they put everything at risk: their children, their friendship, and their newfound community.
Three Screenplays
How can I help you, traveller? Let me guide you out of the woods."Cornerstones of modern British folk horror, Ben Wheatley and Amy Jump’s Kill List, A Field in England, and In the Earth together form a singular body of work, revealing England,past and present, as a landscape shaped by history, power, and the occult. Kill List follows two ex-military hitmen on a routine contract that draws them into a nightmarish world of cult practice and conspiracy, with devastating consequences. A Field in England, widely regarded as one of the most important British films of the past fifty years, is a hallucinatory journey into the seventeenth-century English Civil War, drawing on the psychedelic legacy of British magical and visionary traditions. In the Earth, conceived during the COVID pandemic, explores isolation, ecology, and belief as a researcher ventures into the wilderness in search of a colleague lost while pursuing a cure for a deadly disease. Three Screenplays collects the shooting scripts for all three films, available to read together for the first time. With a preface by Ben Wheatley and an introduction by Tariq Goddard, this volume offers a rare insight into one of the most distinctive collaborations in contemporary British cinema.

Wolf Land
Wolf Land traces the lives of the wolves that once called Britain and Ireland home. Beginning with the Ice Age, each chapter considers a key period in the history of wolves on these islands. Describing the landscapes they traversed, their relationship with the ever-growing human population, and the ways in which humans weaved wolves throughout every aspect of their cultural lives, from literature and art to religion and politics. Building on this history, Wolf Land concludes by reflecting on the parts of this story yet to be written, asking whether wolves could once again make Britain and Ireland their home. There is no better time for understanding the complex, multifaceted ecology of wolves in Britain and Ireland. Calls for widespread nature restoration and the reintroduction of apex predators necessitate a thorough understanding of the history of this animal, as well as the reasons why the species ultimately disappeared. Only by thoroughly comprehending the past can we hope to forge a future that involves wolves. Elizabeth Marshall is an expert in historical and literary research, with extensive knowledge of wolf ethology, ecology, and reintroduction. Passionate about critically examining and tracing historical sources, Elizabeth separates fact from the (ubiquitous) fiction associated with these animals. Wolf Land is a book for not only wolf lovers and natural and cultural history enthusiasts, but also for those interested in rewilding, reintroduction, and the complex yet fascinating relationship between nature and culture.

Fleet of Ghosts
Ever since the World War II-era destroyer USS Walker was marooned on a strange alternate Earth, naturalist Courtney Bradford has been eager to fully explore the planet. Now that the war with the Alliance''s enemies has settled into an uneasy peace, he is given leave to organize the Corps of Discovery, a motley company formed of veterans of the Great War from all over the Alliance. On board the rebuilt Walker, they set out to investigate reports of a region in the Pacific where ships have gone missing and a terrible bright flash of light on the horizon was witnessed. But what they find there is beyond anyone''s imagination: a great battered fleet made up of strange ships. Courtney suspects the rusty armada may have been transported to this world from another, the same way the Walker was four years ago. What none of them know is that the Alliance''s enemies are already aware of these lost ships - and the deadly technology they can harvest from them - and are willing to go to any lengths to steal them. Courtney, his crew of inexperienced cadets, and a handful of lethal commandos are all that stand in the way of another global war - one that the exhausted Grand Alliance simply can''t win.
