Horror movies hold a complicated space in the queer community: historically misogynist, and often homo- and transphobic, the genre has also been inadvertently feminist and open to subversive readings. It Came from the Closet features twenty-five original essays by writers speaking to this relationship, through connections both empowering and oppressive. From Carmen Maria Machado on Jennifer’s Body, Jude Ellison S. Doyle on In My Skin, Addie Tsai on Dead Ringers, and many more, these conversations convey the rich reciprocity between queerness and horror.

Luckily for humanity, scientist Marie Curie applied her brilliant mind and indomitable spirit to expanding the frontiers of science, but what if she had instead drifted toward the darkness? At the cusp of between child- and adulthood, at the crossroads between science and superstition, a teen Marie Curie faces the factual and the fantastic in this fabulous collection of stories that inspire, delight, and ask the question: What if she had used her talents for diabolical purposes?

The first season focuses on the short story tradition, and B. J. Harrison has selected some of the most prominent representatives of the genre. As far as the thematic aspect is concerned, the stories cover crime and mystery episodes like Arthur Conan Doyle’s "The Speckled Band", or revenge-driven ones like Shakespeare’s "Hamlet". There are also supernatural and horror classics such as Hawthorne’s "The Devil and Tom Walker" and W. W. Jacobs’ masterpiece "The Monkey’s Paw".

Season Three comes with serious firepower. The genre of adventure, science fiction, fantasy, horror, romance, melodrama, and the psychological are all present, turning the collection into a kaleidoscope of characters, plot twists, emotions, and revelations. Magicians hurl lightnings at each other, talking rabbits and vanishing cats talk to a little girl, while mad scientists try to create life from dead body parts. One of the most prominent names in this season is the American master of horror H. P.

A kaleidoscope of genres, themes, topics, and motifs await the listener here. From comedy and mystery, to horror and children’s stories, Season Four abounds in fairy tales adventures, challenges to the listener’s imagination, and joyrides through the unknown realms of the psyche. One of the most famous short stories in horror fiction, "The Call of Cthulhu" sits next to the funny characters of "Right Ho, Jeeves" by Wodehouse, while the eponymous sleepyhead from "Rip Van Winkle" is very much awake, facing H. G. Wells’ "The Door in the Wall".

B. J. Harrison does not tire of the adventurous and mysterious settings in his choice of narratives. This time, the horror element is a bit subdued, though Edgar Allan Poe makes up for the lost thrills with his haunting poems "The Raven", "Annabel Lee", and "The Sleeper". P. G. Wodehouse appears with four works, scoring points for his humor.

Apart from the ubiquitous presence of the authors who work in the short story tradition, the Second Season introduces poems and novellas. The romantic poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge is here with his haunting and supernatural sea adventure "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner", while Rudyard Kipling tests the human condition with his famous poem "If". Perhaps the most potent addition in this second part is Joseph Conrad’s timeless novella "The Heart of Darkness", exploring the darkest recesses of the human soul. B. J.

In 1776, the United States of America was born from a document that declared all men created equal and free to choose who they serve in this world. What followed was a difficult fight against a monarchy, a fight that ended with the creation of a powerful country built on the tenets of freedom and equality. These documents are some of the foundational writings from the earliest days of the country that have shaped the United States government for centuries.

Ved identifikation af dødsofre ved katastrofer med mange omkomne er det nødvendigt, at identifikationen foretages og styres af en identifikationskommission/gruppe, der altid må være i beredskab og i øvrigt er etableret med den fornødne ekspertise, altså har forudsætninger for at foretage de medicinske, odontologiske og politimæssige undersøgelser.

Denne beretning er ikke bemærkelsesværdig på grund af sagens art – et ældre menneske blev brutalt myrdet – heller ikke fordi efterforskningsholdet stødte på særlige vanskeligheder under opklaringsarbejdet – gerningsmanden var udfundet og havde tilstået sin forbrydelse mindre end 1 uge efter, at den var begået – men fordi gerningsmanden senere skulle vise sig at være en af de hidtil yngste personer, som havde slået et andet menneske ihjel, ved en handling, som var planlagt.

I forbindelse med nogle husbesættelser i København har der været en kraftig debat om politiets magtanvendelse, og her tænkes specielt på brugen af tåregas. En del af dagspressen og flere politikere fandt, at politiet ved brug af tåregas havde foretaget en optrapning.

I de første måneder af 1980 blev flere vesttyske trawlere opbragt ved Grønland i anledning af ulovligt fiskeri efter torsk til millionbeløb. Sagerne vakte stor opsigt og fik megen omtale. I Grønland var harmen over dette torsketyveri stor. Her skildres, hvorledes disse store og betydelige sager blev optrevlet af de grønlandske myndigheder.

Straffelovens § 166 omfatter falskmøntneri og hører ikke med til de kriminelle handlinger, som belaster dansk kriminalstatistik mest. Den sag som her skal refereres, omfatter falskmøntneri ved eftergørelse af US 100-dollarsedler i et ukendt antal, som væsentlig overstiger et beløb på 3.247.300 dollars, idet det anførte beløb er skaffet til veje under sagen. Samtidig er det anvendte offset udstyr fundet og undersøgt. I sagen foreligger forklaring om afbrænding af ½ kubikmeter færdiggjorte 100-dollarsedler samt oplysning om 30-36 millioner dollars.

Den 29. november 1972 begyndte et mareridt for tandtekniker Hans Larsen og dennes hustru, der sammen med ægteparrets 3 sønner havde deres hjem i Klarup, en forstadsagtig landsby få kilometer sydøst for Ålborg. Et mareridt, der skulle komme til at vare måneder for derefter, da deres mellemste søn under makabre forhold blev fundet død, at gå over til ufattelig sorg over den skæbne, for hvilken deres dreng var blevet et helt uskyldigt offer.

I vore dage, hvor kniven hos mange sidder løst i ærmet, og hvor skuddramaer er om ikke dagligdags så dog så almindelige, at der skal ganske særlige omstændigheder til for at give dem større presseomtale, kan overskriftens bestemte form måske synes lidet oplysende om, hvilket drama den dækker over. I det mindste for de yngre årgange. Der er er tale om dobbeltmordet på Peter Bangsvej, hvor ukendte drabsmand- eller mænd på bestialsk måde myrdede kontorchef Vilhelm Jacobsen og dennes hustru.

Beretning om hvordan opklaring af mordet på en 15-årig skolepige i Randers, der af en tilsyneladende sindssyg person var blevet tildelt 33 dødbringende knivstik, førte til opklaring af et af de mest bestialske mord i Danmark, nemlig mordet på en kun 8-årig pige i København, der godt og vel 4 år før blev fundet liggende døende med halsen skåret over.

Et forsøg på væbnet bankrøveri, herunder forsøg på dobbelt manddrab, forøvet den 14. november 1974 kort før kl. 16.00 overfor en bankafdeling beliggende i tilslutning til Vejle Eksportstalde nær havnen i Vejle, skulle vise sig at få et helt usædvanligt opklaringsforløb, - hvilket ikke mindst beroede på differerende og i visse tilfælde direkte usande vidneudsagn.
