Condemning "urban" vices like liquor, prostitution, movies, and jazz as Catholic and Jewish "plots" to subvert American values, the rejuvenated Klan became entirely mainstream, attracting middle-class men and women through its elaborate secret rituals and mass "Klonvocations" before collapsing amid revelations of sordid sexual scandals, financial embezzlement, and Ponzi-like schemes. Responding to the "emergency" posed by the flood of immigrant "hordes"-Pope-worshipping Irish and Italians, "self-centered Hebrews," and "sly Orientals"-this "second Klan," as award-winning historian Linda Gordon vividly chronicles, spread principally above the Mason-Dixon Line in states like Indiana, Michigan, and Oregon. Boasting 4 to 6 million members, the reassembled Ku Klux Klan of the 1920s dramatically challenged our preconceptions of hooded Klansmen, who through violence and lynching had established a Jim Crow racial hierarchy in the 1870s South. By legitimizing bigotry and redefining so-called American values, a revived Klan in the 1920s left a toxic legacy that demands reexamination today.

I still have trouble for the direction of the story and progression of the characters’ stories. The author’s remarkable evil genius capacity to see the dark side of the stories and twist the entire fairy tales we’d been told when were children, are fantastic and too much creepy way of unique story-telling. (Actually at this book their relationship named to something but I don’t know if I like this definition or hate it.) I still have problems about Alice’s complex, unbalanced, weird character development and her indecisive relationship with Finch. Of course instead of getting lost at the horrifying labyrinth of Hazel Wood, focusing on dark fairytales was great move of the author. And another interesting fact during my read: I honestly wanted this book a little bit longer. I still went back and forth between 3 and 4 stars but 3.5 rounded up again to 4. It is so obvious that I didn’t enjoy the first book and I didn’t foresee my request would be accepted but one morning I checked my library and here we go I got this sequel and I firstly admit, WHAT AN ARTISTIC, AMAZING COVER reflects book’s darkness approach to the fairytales.Īnd you know what! I surprisingly enjoyed this one more. No need to talk about the elephant in the room.

Vehicle fires also go up because of similar issues in the electrical circuits of vehicles and vapours of fuel catching fire. This leads to short circuits, sparking etc., resulting in fires. The increased passage of electricity in circuits leads to overheating, further worsened by atmospheric heat. “In summer, our use of electric appliances like fans, coolers and air conditioners increases significantly. All results of a rise in temperatures.” said Pune’s Chief Fire Officer Devendra Potphode. The rise in fires in these months can be attributed to multiple interlinked reasons. “The data of these fires over the years suggest that February through May sees an upward trend in fires.
