Book excerpt: The Demon Council. Their membership was the one thing my father had warned me to avoid. Now here I was, my life signed away on a contract. But hey, at least they helped pay the bills, and with the next stage of Stanos’ plan looming, the support of powerful demons isn’t exactly something I can turn my nose up at. Not if I want to keep my friends alive. When Ethan comes to me with my next mission—to investigate the disappearance of a pure blood demon—I’m hoping for an easy payout. But what I find is something far more sinister. A new plan that could upset the balance of everything, and change all of our lives forever.

Download or read book Magic Terror written by Peter Straub and published by Random House. This book was released on 2000-08-03 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No one tells a story like Peter Straub. He dazzles with the complexity of his plots. He delights with the sophistication and eloquence of his prose. He startles you into laughter in the face of events so dark you begin to question your own moral compass. Then he reduces you to jelly by spinning a tale so terrifying-and surprising-you wind up sleeping with the lights on. With Magic Terror, the bestselling author of Ghost Story and The Talisman (with Stephen King) has given us one of the most imaginatively unsettling collections in years. The terrain of these extraordinary stories is marked by brutality, heart-break, despair, wonder, and an unexpected humor that allows empathy to blossom within the most unlikely contexts. "Bunny Is Good Bread" takes us into the mind of a small boy trapped in grotesque circumstances to portray the creation of a serial killer in a manner that compels pity, sorrow, comprehension, and grief-as well as judgment. "Hunger, an Introduction," narrated by the ghost of a pompous, self-pitying murderer, evokes a profoundly beautiful vision of earthly life, one appreciated far more by the dead than the living. The award-winning novella "Mr. Clubb and Mr. Cuff," a masterpiece of black comedy, draws upon Melville's "Bartleby the Scrivener" to create a revenge tale in which torture is a moral art and the revenger undergoes a transforming, albeit painful, education. In the words of Mrs. Asch, the visionary narrator of "Ashputtle," "The main feature of adventure is that it goes forward into unknown country." Straub's devotees will be entranced by what their fearless guide has in store for them. Those as yet uninitiated are in for a harrowing literary journey. Enjoy the ride.
Download or read book Magic in Britain written by Robin Melrose and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2018-03-08 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Magic, both benevolent (white) and malign (black), has been practiced in the British Isles since at least the Iron Age (800 BCE-CE 43). "Curse tablets"--metal plates inscribed with curses intended to harm specific people--date from the Roman Empire. The Anglo-Saxons who settled in England in the fifth and sixth centuries used ritual curses in documents, and wrote spells and charms. When they became Christians in the seventh century, the new "magicians" were saints, who performed miracles. When William of Normandy became king in 1066, there was a resurgence of belief in magic. The Church was able to quell the fear of magicians, but the Reformation saw its revival, with numerous witchcraft trials in the late 16th and 17th centuries.
Download or read book Yoranthium Book One Lost Hope written by Mark P. Bromley and published by Mark P. Bromley Enterprises. This book was released on 2021-12-30 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Princess Kumithra has lived a life of lies and awakens believing the day of her fairytale wedding has arrived. She is ready to marry her savior and hero Rarailmuir. Who saved her heroically in her youth and became the champion who stole her heart and slain a dragon. All goes well aside from the amusements of those nearest to her. She was going to have her fantasy fulfilled never aware of the problems of her kingdom. Suddenly darkness covers the island kingdom of Yoranthium and a legend of epic proportions unfolds. As the sky, land, and waters become a battleground of the heavenly cosmos and the deep dark hellish abyss in the seas of the world of Ishormot. Time falls to the wayside as temporal incursions caused by technology, mages, magics, demon witches, and spirits, have erased and changed kingdoms overnight. Plans of demons and cosmic horrors unfold and lives are lost in terrible tragedy. The once admired and mighty tropical idyllic kingdom of Yoranthium falls. The last light and bastion a beacon of hope and peace. The last hope for refugees fleeing oppression and wars caused by the nightmare of a cruel and evil world. A world that has been corrupted and falling into darkness. All Hope is Lost as many lives are lost and this story has just begun. Yoranthium Book One: Lost Hope is only the beginning of the series and a fast paced novel. There are other titles in this slated twenty book series as it's not just a world it moves beyond just some kingdoms that are explored. Aspects like Heaven, the deep dark abyss, an epic conflict of Angels and Demons unfold and mystical creatures such as Dragons, Mechanations, Yagrallmagrunds, Riarcks, Archangels, Eight Demons and the One Evil, of their God to be born, Impundalu, Altered Faefolken, Faefolken of the Dawn, and the vulnerable Elfaefolken get explored. How nature has a plan to deal with corruption and heal not only the world of Ishormot but other worlds in the Cosmos. A cosmic tale that ponders ideas of fancy on the meaning of space exploration. Delving into the very nature of the soul and DNA. Touching upon modern political spectrum. Time falls to the wayside and the Past Future interacts via Incursions with the Future Past. This series explores a wide range of thoughts and ideas in philosophy, ethics, morals, theology, mythology, Gothic Horror, including the yucky stuff (Romance) and so much more. All carefully in guise as stories and simple tales of an ever expanding world that is astonishing. A soft yet ridged Magics system that is comparable to Technology and Science with of course mumbo jumbo Mystical powers and lore. As Love and Hart is at the core of the only real power our hero's have against overwhelming odds of survival. I the Author have spent a life time in research and development for this epic tale. Traveling the world, always reading and learning and had lived in Japan and getting parking tickets in Perth. Just to pursue my need to study the world and visit museums and historical sights around the globe. It's about time I write this incredible story of Fantasy based on reality. It reads Fiction but if you see beyond the words you will find a deeper meaning in a simple story. Yoranthium could be considered a world healing book of our time.
