Popular art forms considered include: movies, television shows, comic books, children's stories, photographs, and rock songs.

Book and Sword by Louis Cha, ISBN 0195907272
Louis Cha's martial arts epics have sold millions of copies worldwide. Many of them have appeared on best-sellers' lists in Chinese markets and have been adapted into television series and films. The Book and Sword, Louis Cha's first novel, is about an underworld plot to overthrow the reign of Emperor Qianlong (1736-1795). It revives a legend about the great Manchu Emperor, which claims that he was in fact not a Manchu but a Han Chinese as a result of a "baby swap." The novel is panoramic in scope and includes the fantastical elements for which Cha is well-known: secret societies, kungfu masters, a lost desert city guarded by wolf packs, and the mysterious Fragrant Princess.

Secular Steeples: Popular Culture and the Religious Imagination by Ostwalt, Conrad, Jr., ISBN 1563383616
In Secular Steeples, Conrad Ostwalt challenges long-held assumptions about the relationship between religion and culture and about the impact of secularization. This book tries to move away from the idea that religion will diminish as secularization continues. Instead, Ostwalt guides us along a busy two-way street, where religions and secular views interact and enrich each other.
Ostwalt contends that secularization has not and will not destroy religion, despite the promise of the Enlightenment to free society from religions confines. He points out that secularization does shift the authority to express religious ideals from traditional places to other cultural forms such as the government, entertainment, or media. He challenges the often repeated assumption that Europe is more secularized than America; secularization is a reality in both to the same degree, but proceeds in distinctly different ways.
Religious institutions, he says, use secular and popular cultural forms like television,...

It Was Just Luck
Everyone is always telling Stone Barrington that he's too smart to be a cop, but it's pure luck that places him on the streets in the dead of night, just in time to witness the horrifying incident that turns his life inside out.
Suddenly he is on the front page of every New York newspaper, and his life is hopelessly entwined in the increasingly shocking life (and death) of Sasha Nijinsky, the country's hottest and most beautiful television anchorwoman.
No matter where he turns, the case is waiting for him, haunting his nights and turning his days into a living hell. Stone finds himself caught in a perilous web of unspeakable crimes, dangerous friends, and sexual depravity that has throughout it one common thread: Sasha.
