Vampire Queen Betsy Taylor continues her rule in Hell in the scorchingly funny finale to the Undead series from New York Times bestselling author MaryJanice Davidson. It had been a well-kept secret for centuries, but now the existence of vampires is all over the news, thanks to Betsy Taylor’s half sister (and the frustrated former Antichrist), Laura. Life for the undead will never be the same, and it’s up to Betsy to do some damage control. But her interview on the local news doesn’t exactly put out the fire. It more or less pours kerosene on it. With all the added attention on supernatural beings, the werewolves are more than a little agitated (never a good thing) and demand that Betsy gets her interview skills, and her family, in order. And while things go from bad to worse in the world, Hell continues to be hell—especially when Betsy’s new parole program becomes about as complicated as you’d expect. With a PR team launching a vampire-friendly campaign, the devil at large and out to make trouble, and mermaids on hand to see who falls—and how hard—the end isn’t just near. It’s here. And if anyone knows how to go out with a bang, it’s the queen of Hell.

In his project Migropolis, Wolfgang Scheppe dealt with Venice as a prototype for the escalation of the globalized city. Now, in this visual study, the German philosopher, who lives and teaches in Venice, has turned to this city yet again for an investigation into the means and scale of representation for the purpose of discovering how its image archives can enable understanding its social character. In this conceptual work, entitled Done.Book, he relates two obsessive attempts at archiving Venice: John Ruskin's notebooks and the never-before-seen collection of photographs taken by a resident of the city's working-class district adjacent to the Biennale's Giardini. Both evince the conviction that the cognitive quality of the image is a means of acquiring insight, and both also stem from a self-imposed ethical commitment to provide a comprehensive representation of the details of an urban network whose truth can be glimpsed in the minutiae, the hidden details.
