Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The passing of time in seconds, minutes, and hours can be many things; redundant, noteworthy, exhilarating, or horrifying, depending of course on the situation at hand and the subjects involved. However, as the clock on the wall strikes midnight and the surrounding shadows seem to sway and pulse with a life all their own, the Witching Hour officially begins anew, during which time a cloak sewn of menace and malevolence blankets the darkened landscape. It is during this brief period that all things normal mutate into the abnormal, when the mundane becomes anything but. The evidence of such sinister alterations are witnessed in the following terror-tales: ~~At an isolated cabin retreat deep within a desolate forest, a vacationing family discovers a terrifying new meaning to the term 'bug hunt'. ~~ In the very near future, a fragmented group of second-rate, ragtag 'Super-heroes' attempt to quell the systematic slaughter of their own kind by a mysterious, powerhouse assassin whose sole agenda seems to be an extreme case of 'hero' eradication. ~~Drifting atop the open sea in an inflatable life-raft, the lone survivors of a cruise-ship disaster soon find themselves locked in a psychological death-match for what little previsions remain... ~~ Strangers stranded in a snow-encased bus stop swap their favorite Yuletide memories, at least one of which is anything but cheery and heartwarming, but instead filled with grisly, graven images better suited for All Hallows Eve. ~~ Marooned on an uncharted planet, the crew of a space supply vessel discover the very grounds they walk upon infested with an all-too-familiar internal parasite with a hunger for warm, human flesh. ~~ 21st Century LawEnforcement meets 18th Century mythology as the dedicated men and women of the New Orleans PD come face to face with a legendary beast of Lupine origin.. Twenty-eight chronicles in all, each providing chilling proof that not only can time indeed heal all wounds, but also open permanent, potentially fatal gashes to the human psyche.

Anne Rice offers more than just a story; she creates myth.”—The Washington Post Book World Rowan Mayfair, a beautiful woman, a brilliant practitioner of neurosurgery—aware that she has special powers but unaware that she comes from an ancient line of witches—finds the drowned body of a man off the coast of California and brings him to life. He is Michael Curry, who was born in New Orleans and orphaned in childhood by fire on Christmas Eve, who pulled himself up from poverty, and who now, in his brief interval of death, has acquired a sensory power that mystifies and frightens him. As these two, fiercely drawn to each other, fall in love and—in passionate alliance—set out to solve the mystery of her past and his unwelcome gift, an intricate tale of evil unfolds. Moving through time from today’s New Orleans and San Francisco to long-ago Amsterdam and a château in the Louis XIV’s France, and from the coffee plantations of Port au Prince, where the great Mayfair fortune is made and the legacy of their dark power is almost destroyed, to Civil War New Orleans, The Witching Hour is a luminous, deeply enchanting novel.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Available Open Access under CC-BY-NC licence Paying privately for childcare is a growing phenomenon worldwide, a trend mirrored in Sweden despite the prevalence there of publicly funded daycare. This book combines theories of family practices, care and childhood studies with the personal perspectives of nannies, au pairs, parents and children to provide new understandings of what constitutes care in nanny families. The authors investigate the ways in which all the participants experience the caring situation, and expose the possibilities and problems of nanny and au pair care. Their study illuminates the ways in which paid domestic care workers 'do' family and care; in doing so, it contributes to wider political and scientific discussions of inequalities at the global and local level, reproduced in and between families, in the context of rapidly changing welfare states.

It’s clear that many things have changed since we’ve been apart. Now he is captain of the rugby team and the most popular bloke on campus. Then he makes a bet and gives me an ultimatum: I leave Braxton forever and start somewhere else, or I stay and play his game… because he’s never forgotten that it was me who ruined his life two years ago. Book 2 All About Me I’m the monster, a bloody human incapable of emotion I soon realise that my revenge didn’t make me feel any fucking better about myself, instead it pissed me off to realise that I’m in love with her. Two days later the letter addressed to me arrives in the post and the ground moves beneath my feet, because the whole truth about India is out in the open and the pain punches me so hard that I can’t breathe, darkness crawls through me, sparking all the insecurities and fears about my dead brother back to ugly reality. Then off I go with my apology, trying to fix this fucked up situation but she doesn’t want to listen.

India’s pain is raw, deep and whenever I lay my eyes on her I remember the cruel things I’ve done. The next couple of months I focus on getting her back. This is the only thing that matters to me now. I must redeem myself; forget about anger, other birds and parties. India is the only person that I want, I love her and only her but the problem is that she hates my guts, so I’m the last person that she wants. I must prove to India that I’m worthy of her love.
