The Dangers of Being Alone in Gothic Fiction
Stephen King Stephen King involved both psychological “aloneness” and geographic isolation within his books, The Shining and Salem’s Lot. Salem’s Lot wasn’t located on a main road, but it wasn’t so far away that it was completely isolated from other small towns nearby. The majority of the isolation within Salem’s Lot came from the fact that the main protagonists are alone in their knowledge, and their belief in that knowledge. They alone are fighting the good fight, and the odds get harder to overcome as the town is slowly overcome, leaving them fully alone—taking away the members of the small group of fighters until only Ben and Mark are left, the only humans in a world of blood-thirsty vampires. By the end, Ben and Mark are truly alone, surrounded by animals that have lost their human feelings.

Contemporary Native American Music
The artists and styles of music are as varied as their tribal ceremonies and traditions. I like it all. Whether it's the sound of a lone cedar flute, or a more contemporary digitized sound, the music of Native American artists is my music of choice these days. In this hub, I will concentrate on the artists who have embraced a more contemporary sound.

The 5 Best Sci-Fi and Fantasy Books for Young Adults and Teen Girls
Top Five Sci-Fi and Fantasy Books/Series for Girls Picking books that hold their interest, and do not seem juvenile, but also do not introduce overly adult themes, is difficult. In my experience, science fiction and fantasy books can be great choices for young adult girls. Many of today's Sci-Fi and fantasy books feature strong young women—heroines that are worth looking up to—and present enduring themes. The fanciful worlds in these books can help girls escape from an adolescents' complex world, while providing entertainment, and maybe even some important life lessons.

The 'Harry Potter' Series—Books, Films, and More, Part 1
An Introduction Thankfully, a girlfriend at the time convinced me to watch one of the movies with her. While it wasn't love at first sight, I was curious, and wanted more. Finally, I watched the first four movies, then realized that I needed to read the books. Once I started reading the books, I was hooked. I remember waiting with bated breath for the seventh book to finally be released. We had pre-ordered two just so we could read them at the same time. Now, my wife and I love having Harry Potter weekends, where we watch all of the movies back to back, and I've gradually made my way through all of the books multiple times. I just received the complete book set for Christmas, and I am almost done—I would have been done sooner, but with school and work, reading has become a bit of a luxury. The series is complete, and meaningful to me, and I'm always sad when I'm done reading the books, or watching the movies—like I've lost a few good friends. This hub is an overview of the entire series, including books and movies, as well as an overview of Harry Potter World at Universal Studios, Orlando.
