Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An abandoned church, rains of fish, and Signs from God. To save the town, they’ll need to stop the Second Coming. The supernatural is perfectly normal in eccentric Hawkinge-By-Hythe. When fish rain from the sky, it just means free dinner. Only professional sceptics, the Alumière sisters—witches, according to the locals—worry there’s worse to come... After a message from God, Reverend Gresstart enlists the righteous Mrs Pengle to spread the word. But she wants revenge more than she wants to get to heaven. As the weather worsens, literally raining cats and dogs, the Alumières race to dig up the truth. Even if no one wants them to. With the townsfolk rioting over what the Lord wants, the Alumières have their hands full. And that’s without the mystery of the whistling well, the buried catapults, or the man raising the dead with a parrot. All while running a chemist shop and becoming honorary aunts. Grab your best umbrella, salvation's in the air. So are fish. The Forgotten Creatures is the third standalone adventure in this whimsically bonkers series!

Download or read book Forgotten Beasts written by Matt Sewell and published by Rizzoli Publications. This book was released on 2019-07-30 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A witty, colorful celebration of the amazing lost creatures of this planet; with a strong message of protection and conservation. Matt Sewell's follow-up to The Colorful World of Dinosaurs is a beautifully-illustrated large format look at the amazing beasts that time forgot--from the relatively well known, such as the sabre-toothed tiger and woolly mammoth, to the obscure monsters that walked the earth millions of years ago--many now forgotten. Although less celebrated than the dinosaurs, the range of beasts is equally impressive, every one an amazing or scary creature that actually stalked the planet. Like the dinosaurs, these beasts are awe-inspiring in their variety, in a wide range of furs, feathers and colours, making for a stunning collection of vivid watercolor illustrations. These beasts are arranged chronologically--from the strange invertebrate Opabinia that lived over 500 million years ago, to the Thylacine, or Tasmanian Tiger, that became extinct in 1936.

Download or read book The Lady from the Black Lagoon written by Mallory O'Meara and published by Harlequin. This book was released on 2019-03-05 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This acclaimed biography shines a light on a trailblazing woman who created a classic movie monster—and the author’s quest to rescue her from obscurity. As a teenager, Mallory O’Meara was thrilled to discover that one of her favorite movies, Creature from the Black Lagoon, featured a monster designed by a woman, Milicent Patrick. But while Patrick should have been hailed as a pioneer in the genre, there was little information available about her. As O’Meara discovered, Patrick’s contribution had been claimed by a jealous male colleague and her career had been cut short. No one even knew if she was still alive. As a young woman working in the horror film industry, O’Meara set out to right the wrong, and in the process discovered the full, fascinating story of an ambitious, artistic woman ahead of her time. Patrick’s contribution to special effects proved to be just the latest chapter in a remarkable, unconventional life, from her youth growing up in the shadow of Hearst Castle, to her career as one of Disney’s first female animators. And at last, O’Meara discovered what really had happened to Patrick after The Creature’s success, and where she went. A true-life detective story and a celebration of a forgotten feminist trailblazer, Mallory O’Meara’s The Lady from the Black Lagoon establishes Patrick in her rightful place in film history while calling out a Hollywood culture where little has changed since.
