Gothic literature flourished in nineteenth century Europe, and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde quite clearly falls into this category.  The first English Gothic novel was Horace Walpole's The Castle of Otranto (1765), which was very popular and quickly imitated.  Readers were fascinated by its suspense, use of the supernatural, and medieval influences.  Soon, through the influence of Walpole's successful book, Gothic literature became a genre, which takes its name from Otranto's medieval, or Gothic, setting.  Early Gothic novels were generally set in the Middle Ages and in remote locations.  Later Gothic works branched out from these restrictions.  The Gothic novel became particularly popular in Britain, where masterpieces such as Dracula, The Turn of the Screw, Frankenstein, and Jane Eyre were written.  A major theme of Gothic novels tends to be the existence of powerful secrets, such as Jekyll's connection to Hyde.  In addition, nearly every Gothic novel takes place in a strange, mysterious location, such as Dracula's castle, the Thornfield estate in Jane Eyre, or the foggy, dark, mysterious nighttime London of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.  Stevenson places great stress on the dark, dank streets of London in wonderfully descriptive language.  See long list of attributes at:  http://www.gradesaver.com/dr-jekyll-and-mr-hyde/study-guide/section5/ 

The Fourth International Conference on Grey Literature (GL '99) in Washington, DC, in October 1999 defined grey literature as follows:  "That which is produced on all levels of government, academics, business and industry in print and electronic formats, but which is not controlled by commercial publishers."  In general, grey literature publications are non-conventional, fugitive, and sometimes ephemeral publications.  They may include, but are not limited to the following types of materials:  reports (pre-prints, preliminary progress and advanced reports, technical reports, statistical reports, memoranda, state-of-the art reports, market research reports, etc.), theses, conference proceedings, technical specifications and standards, non-commercial translations, bibliographies, technical and commercial documentation, and official documents not published commercially (primarily government reports and documents) (Alberani, 1990).  Due to the nature of grey literature, librarians have had difficulty acquiring and making accessible grey literature.  At The New York Academy of Medicine, there has been a push by public health and health policy researchers for the Academy Library to obtain this type of material and to add it to the catalog (Gray, 1998).  As a result, the Library acquires materials from various organizations publishing in these areas and gives them special cataloging treatment.  The Grey Literature Report is the first step in this initiative to not only collect these items for the Academy's collection, but to assist other librarians with collections in these fields in developing theirs.

The Hunger Games trilogy has surpassed the Harry Potter books to become the best-selling series on Amazon.com, the company announced August 17.  "Since debuting in 2008, Katniss Everdeen and the Hunger Games have taken the world by storm, much as Harry Potter did a decade before," said Sara Nelson, the editorial director of books and Kindle at Amazon, which is the largest bookseller in the United States.  "Interestingly, this series is only three books versus Harry Potter's seven, and to achieve this result in just four years is a great testament to both the popularity of the work and, we think, the growth in reading digitally during that time," she said.

NEW YORK  The distinctive red soles of Christian Louboutin shoes are entitled to trademark protection, even if the company can't exactly call the color its own, a federal appeals court said Sept. 5.  The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan reversed a lower court judge who had ruled against the French maker of luxury shoes.  The appeals court said Louboutin was entitled to protect its brand against red-soled shoes made by competitor Yves Saint Laurent S.A.S., which is also based in Paris, though it instructed the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to limit registration of the trademark to situations in which the red lacquered outsole contrasts in color with the adjoining upper part of the shoe.  See extensive article at:  http://newsfeedresearcher.com/data/articles_b36_2/louboutin-shoe-court.html#hdng0
