Selected by Library Journal as one of the best horror books of 2019 "The sheer, skin-crawling fright is masterful. Thomas has crafted an indelible story...all wrapped in a supernatural shroud that unfurls from the heart of America. Whether or not thoughts can breathe, books certainly can, and Violet does exactly that." —Jason Heller, National Public Radio "Don't let anybody tell you this book is a slow burn—Violet travels at the speed of horror." —Josh Malerman, New York Times bestselling author of Bird Box For many children, the summer of 1988 was filled with sunshine and laughter. But for ten-year-old Kris Barlow, it was her chance to say goodbye to her dying mother. Three decades later, loss returns—her husband killed in a car accident. And so, Kris goes home to the place where she first knew pain—to that summer house overlooking the crystal waters of Lost Lake. It’s there that Kris and her eight-year-old daughter will make a stand against grief. But a shadow has fallen over the quiet lake town of Pacington, Kansas. Beneath its surface, an evil has grown—and inside that home where Kris Barlow last saw her mother, an old friend awaits her return.

Bei der inhaltlichen Gestalt der Ethik des Paulus geht die Forschungsdiskussion mehrheitlich davon aus, dass deren Spezifikum in ihrer theologischen, insbesondere christologischen Begründung liege, während sie inhaltlich nahezu deckungsgleich sei mit den Traditionen der jüdischen sowie paganen Umwelt; man spricht daher oft von materialethischer "Inklusivität". Johanna Körner geht der Frage, exemplarisch am Bereich der Sexual- und Geschlechterethik, nach, indem sie theologische mit soziokulturellen sowie traditions- und religionsgeschichtlichen Aspekten verbindet. Dabei zeigt sich, dass Paulus zwar grundlegend von seiner jüdischen Herkunftstradition geprägt bleibt. Gleichwohl kann nicht pauschal von materialethischer "Inklusivität" gesprochen werden, da er diese Überzeugungen in mehrheitlich "heidenchristlichen" Gemeinden zu etablieren sucht, wo sie sich von denjenigen der unmittelbaren Umwelt unterscheiden (sollen), also in ihrem konkreten Kontext funktional "exklusiv" sind. Vor dem Hintergrund der oft behaupteten Zentralstellung der Christologie bei Paulus ist festzuhalten, dass diese in diesem Teilbereich seiner Ethik eine eher untergeordnete Rolle spielt, während schöpfungstheologische Argumente im Vordergrund stehen.
