A paperback edition of the book described by the New York Times Book Review as `thoroughly absorbing’. \n\n Henry James minced no words in crediting John Singer Sargent with a `knock-down insolence of talent.’ Among the painter’s many renowned works, few deserve the phrase as much as The Daughters of Edward Darley Boit, which stands alongside Madame X and Lady Agnew of Lochnaw as one of Sargent’s greatest images. \n\nThe painting, depicting four young sisters in the family apartment (first exhibited at the Paris Salon of 1883, it predated by just one year the scandal of Madame X), both explores and defies convention, crossing the boundaries between portrait and genre scene, formal composition and casual snapshot. At its unveiling, one prominent critic rushed to praise Sargent’s stunning originality, while another dismissed the canvas as `four corners and a void.’ Using numerous unpublished archival documents, Erica E. Hirshler explores this iconic canvas from a variety of angles, discussing its innovative significance as a work of art, the people involved in its making and what became of them, its importance to Sargent’s career, its place in the tradition of artistic patronage, and its changing meanings and lasting popularity. \n\n Sargent’s Daughters is an evocative, multifaceted book that will transform the way you look at Sargent’s work, simultaneously illuminating a much beloved painting and reaffirming its mystery

The final chapter of the Tribulation saga and the decisive showdown between Erica Slaughter and Cutter!\n\nAfter narrowly surviving the Duplicitype, Erica Slaughter must still reckon with the murderous Cutter in order to save the people of Tribulation. Separated from Dolly and driven by desperate rage, Cutter won't stop until she exacts her revenge on Erica. But the horror is far from over as the terrifying Duplicitype, the infamous monster wearing Erica’s likeness that changed Something is Killing the Children forever, also remains at large and in relentless, sinister pursuit! And with Cecilia showing up onsite, will Erica finally find the ally she needs, or is betrayal in the cards? Whose side are they on? Most importantly, what chance does Erica stand? Collects Something is Killing the Children #31-35.

Un anno dopo l'ultima volta che l'abbiamo vista ad Archer's Peak, Erica Slaughter riemerge per affrontare il caso di una ragazza che ha assistito a una mostruosità inimmaginabile e con terrificanti implicazioni. Ma, per Erica, dover affrontare il suo legame spezzato con Casa Slaughter potrebbe avere conseguenze altrettanto mortali: l'Ordine di San Giorgio non dimentica né perdona. Sarà pure una cacciatrice, ma per sopravvivere alla tempesta in arrivo Erica dovrà tenere d'occhio ombre misteriose sulle sue stesse tracce.

Erica Slaughter, la cacciatrice di mostri allevata dal temibile ordine di San Giorgio, è sopravvissuta per un pelo allo scontro con il Duplicitipo, sinistra creatura con le sue stesse sembianze.
