See Clockpunk Wizardry: Fantasy Author Releases New Book Trailer

1888PressRelease - In a plate-shaped ocean world where Luck, War, and Death are magicians who sing twisty magic, comes the latest book trailer by fantasy writer Lita Burke.

Denver, CO - Author Lita Burke has released a book trailer for the novel Old Bony Blue Eyes, a new story in Ms. Burke's Clockpunk Wizard series. The free trailer is available for immediate viewing on YouTube.com. It takes place in a Renaissance-style world, where Wizard Kadmeion takes a dangerous trip to Sir Death's castle to fetch a spell book for a lovelorn dragon.

"One thing I love about the fantasy genre are the imaginative works produced by indie artists and musicians," says Ms. Burke. "I enjoy combining their genius with my humble words to create videos of fantasy worlds."

Luck, War, and Death are not the only magicians wielding spells. Although it has no patron, humor is also a strong magical force. Absurdity is an art that baffles the bookish wizards.

"Throughout the story, Kadmeion takes humor lessons from his half-elf assistant, Sir Bright. The wizard discovers the peril of bad word puns. At Sir Death's castle, he also learns the consequences when two powerful wizards laugh themselves silly."

    The Bluest Eye Analysis Essay

Morrison evokes a society still plagued by the premise of slavery and the exposes this mode of white inferiority through The Bluest Eye. “Wicked people love wickedly, violent people love violently, weak people love weakly, stupid people love stupidly, but the love of a free man is never safe”, Morrison endows these last couple of sentences with a lyrical quality that makes the readers truly understand the depth of Cholly’s character and the “freeness” he experiences. Morrison initially introduces Cholly Breedlove as the antagonist, a drunk and very abusive father; any man who would beat his wife, set his house on fire and rape his daughter couldn’t…

    Lycanthropy Analysis

    The word “fantasy” conjures images of free-spirited pixies, magical creatures, new worlds, and ideas of magic that do not exist in the world as we know it. Our association with fantasy lumps it together with escapism, the idea that we can leave our world for a fantastic one. But as literary theorist Rosemary Jackson points out in her work, Fantasy: The Literature of Subversion, the realm of the fantastic is often a mirror of our own, dealing with the social and political issues that we are faced with today. However, she argues that many works of popular fantasy literature often fail to highlight the social and political issues within them because they provide an ending that does not…
