He finished school, got a nine-to-five, and tried to fit in. When his cousin meets an unfortunate end on All Hallows' Eve, Micheal abruptly inherits the position of Riftkeeper, along with all the prestige and responsibility he didn't want. Estranged from his family, Micheal never learned the details of the job. All the grumpy, ancestral spirit now possessing his goldfish can tell him is that a mistake could be catastrophic. Micheal isn't feeling the holiday cheer, and coworkers' attempts to encourage him only add to a headache of magical proportions. To make matters worse, Ryan Nickles, Micheal's colleague and cubicle neighbor, has assembled enough Christmas decorations to attract more pixies than Micheal can hide. When Micheal's attempts to find the Winter Court on the week of the solstice leave him with nothing but a bad cold, he fears he'll be the first Riftkeeper to break the ancient contracts. He's too stressed to handle Ryan's attempts to get him into the holiday spirit, but Ryan might know more about the magic of the season than Micheal realizes.A story from the Dreamspinner Press 2016 Advent Calendar "Bah Humbug."

Place and Progress in the Works of Elizabeth Gaskell
by Lesa Scholl Emily MorrisCritical assessments of Elizabeth Gaskell have tended to emphasise the regional and provincial aspects of her writing, but the scope of her influence extended across the globe. Building on theories of space and place, the contributors to this collection bring a variety of geographical, industrial, psychological, and spatial perspectives to bear on the vast range of Gaskell’s literary output and on her place within the narrative of British letters and national identity. The advent of the railway and the increasing predominance of manufactory machinery reoriented the nation’s physical and social countenance, but alongside the excitement of progress and industry was a sense of fear and loss manifested through an idealization of the country home, the pastoral retreat, and the agricultural south. In keeping with the theme of progress and change, the essays follow parallel narratives that acknowledge both the angst and nostalgia produced by industrial progress and the excitement and awe occasioned by the potential of the empire. Finally, the volume engages with adaptation and cultural performance, in keeping with the continuing importance of Gaskell in contemporary popular culture far beyond the historical and cultural environs of nineteenth-century Manchester.

Thea is far from heartless. She's just plain terrified of her new parenting responsibilities. Both she and Mitch are romantically involved with other people. Yet the more time they spend together, the less certain she is of her loyalties. There are complications and missteps, tears and laughter--lots of it. And somehow, through it all, the dawning realization that the last place she thought she'd find herself could be just where she belongs. . .
