As David Robertson is visiting Castletown, then the seat of Government, he looks at the roles of what were then called the Governor-in-Chief, Edward Smith, and the Governor, Alexander Shaw, and also at peculiarities of Manx law - but is he right? We turn once again to Bram Stoker's 'Dracula' in translation into the Manx Gaelic, and hear more about poor Lucy Westenra's condition.

In case you didn't catch this at the end of the Company of Wolves show yet, Sharon, myself and even Willow have helped put together an anthology of Gothic tales written by members of the School of Movies community. It's available to buy right now on Amazon and if as many of you as possible buy it at once, talk about it on social media, (and if you want to be extra specially helpful leave us an honest, positive review when you've finished and recommend it to friends) that should help it get some visibility. It's called "The Lights from Distant Bonfires" and we've been preparing it for many months now. These stories are stirring and spine-tingling and should conjure up haunting images to dwell on this Fall. We are keeping the price low and selling the paperback at cost to get it into as many trembling hands as possible. USA Edition UK Edition The 14 Authors: Lincoln Alpern, James Batchelor, Nama Chibitty, Greg Downing, Jesse Ferguson, Chris Finik, Nick Jaragosky, Hanna Peregrine, Alexander Shaw, Sharon Shaw, Willow Shaw, Maya Souris, Alejandra Vargas, Bradford Yurkiw
Welcome to Season 4. What was originally going to be four episodes delving into the two major components of the first fictional creation of Alexander Shaw has already sprawled, with Manifesto taking up three episodes total, over the course of two Skype sessions. And we'll see how long it takes us to discuss Dramatis Personae when it happens. But just as before, we find ourselves talking for a lot longer than expected about these books, even with a short book comprising a non-traditional narrative. Before we start discussing where we're going, we start with where we've been. The conversation capping off with a more thorough year in review of Through The Wind Door itself, and how we have evolved since February of 2020. From there we start talking about the influences and context that brought about the structure of the Handbook, and get into an overall synopsis of its constituent parts. And finally from there, discussing the propagandistic components of the Handbook, and why we choose to label it Manifesto. The Cartographer's Handbook is a blueprint and foundation for everything that came after, and pairs well as a prologue to the novel we will continue Season 4 with, Arlington. It's been talked about more than any other novel in the New Century oeuvre, but I hope over the course of the next month, we'll be able to come up with incisive thoughts and fresh takes on it, with the weight and context of the now twelve books that followed. And so, let us begin.

In this interview Sue Berman talks with Daren Kamali about the Real Gold taonga commonly known as 'the tapa book'. The book is available to view for the month of March 2019 in the reading room of Heritage Collections - level 2 Tāmaki Pātaka Kōrero | Central City Library. To learn more tune into the Tapa Talk series here at the Auckland Libraries podcast series. https://soundcloud.com/auckland-libraries/sets/tapa-talks You can view a digital copy here: https://kura.aucklandlibraries.govt.nz/digital/collection/rarebooks/id/144/rec/5 Between 1768 and 1779 James Cook led three voyages of British exploration to the Pacific. As a result many taonga from Aotearoa and the islands of Moana-nui-a-Kiwa made their way to Europe – including the samples of bark cloth collected in this book. The book’s title is A catalogue of the different specimens of cloth collected in the three voyages of Captain Cook – but is often simply called ‘the tapa cloth book’. It was compiled by Scottish bookseller Alexander Shaw, who in 1787 was based in London. There are 63 copies of the book known to be still in existence. They are each unique, containing different samples of cloth arranged in varying order. They are the earliest known specimens to survive, and are a valuable source of information about Pacific fabrics prior to the influence of European textiles and metal tools. The library’s copy was donated by the Auckland businessman, art collector and philanthropist James Tannock Mackelvie (1824-1885).

Among the many taonga held by Ngā Pātaka Kōrero - Auckland Libraries is a sampler book of Pacific tapa cloth. The Tapa Book is a catalogue of different specimens of cloth collected in the mid 1700s during the three Pacific voyages of Captain James Cook. In the late 1780s Alexander Shaw compiled a series of catalogues with sample cloth from Tonga, Tahiti and Hawai’i. Each book is a unique mixture of clothes and each is highly prized as a repository of information about Pacific fibres prior to European influence of textiles and tools. Auckland Libraries acquired a copy through donation by James Tannock Mackelvie in 1885 and have digitised the book in a page turning format for full and easy access via the Auckland Libraries catalogue. https://bit.ly/2SGw4JD In October 2017 Auckland Libraries hosted an event with guest speakers titled Tapa Talk. In this series you will hear from Auckland-based Tongan artist and educator Dagmar Dyck; University of Auckland Senior Research Fellow Billie Lythberg; Frances Lennard, Professor in Textile Conservation, and Research Associate Andy Mills, both from the Centre for Textile Conservation at the University of Glasgow, Scotland; and Senior Lecturer Phyllis Herda from The University of Auckland. Dagmar, Billie and Phyllis are investigators on Ancient Futures: Late 18th and Early 19th Century Tongan Arts and their Legacies, funded by the Royal Society of New Zealand Marsden Fund. Frances and Andrew are investigators on Tapa: Situating Pacific Barkcloth Production in Time & Place, funded by the UK Arts and Humanities Research Council. The session was opened by Jane Wild, Heritage Manager Auckland Libraries, and guests introduced by Daren Kamali, Pacific Heritage Curator, Auckland Libraries.
This week we’re covering the totally insane video for Livin’ on the Edge by immortal creepsters Aerosmith. My guest, Alexander Shaw, recounts his adolescent love for the band, allowing Stephen Tyler far too much influence over his fashion choices, and trying to reconcile a universe in which they coexist with his juvenile daughter. In this episode: Bizarre, moralizing lyrics, a non-sensical hodgepodge of music video set pieces, including cartoonish, post-apocalyptic wrecking yards and green-screen train solos, Edward Furlong playing a confused (and confusing) angsty teen, and a possible cameo from Johnny Depp in drag. Be sure to check out Alexander Shaw's New Century and School of Movies podcasts!
This is chapter 7 from New Century Book 5: The Princess Thieves If you want to hear more it is available on Bandcamp in full audiobook form. A swashbuckling comedy fantasy adventure from the creator of Tiger's Eye and Arlington. In 1873 an enormous doorway between realms opened up in the north of London and on the other side was a parallel British Isles named Britannica. This place was home to two new races, the short, stubborn, Duart and the hulking, green-skinned Akka. What they brought with them when they stepped through to aid us and settle in our damaged country was an army of tough firecasters to see off our monster problem and a class system that humans fit roughly in the middle of. In the week this story takes place, Gwendoline, the last remaining family member of Britain's royal Saxe-Coburg bloodline is preparing to be married to the Duart lord; Aaron of Britannica. Before that happens the young princess will be going on the adventure of a lifetime, through the dangerous, filthy streets of London, through the doorway between worlds and beyond. Part of the New Century Multiverse, a saga set across many worlds with each story constituting a piece of the grand mosaic. The first six stories in New Century Phase 1 can be listened to in any order...
