Book excerpt: Of the very many enemies faced by Sexton Blake, the detective, over his long career, Monsieur Zenith the Albino was among the most popular ... and most deadly. A loner and outsider, he was an aristocrat at a time when, in the wake of the First World War, the aristocracy was fast becoming irrelevant, and for no other reason than to fight his alienation and ennui, he committed crimes that were absolutely astounding in their audacity. Created by Anthony Skene and written in a terse, dynamic style, Zenith enthralled readers for two decades before he, along with his nemesis, Sexton Blake, faded from the limelight. Michael Moorcock is among those upon whom Zenith made a lasting impression, and his doomed swordsman, Elric of Melniboné, was directly inspired by him. For many years, the Zenith stories have been out of print and exceedingly difficult to find. Now, however, Blake enthusiast and author Mark Hodder is mining his collection to make all of Zenith's encounters with Sexton Blake available for Kindle. In THE COMPLETE ZENITH, the fantastic yarns will be released in chronological order complete with their original illustrations, introductory material and annotations.

It amounts to nearly a hundred thousand words of intense, edge-of-your-seat action!

Download or read book Elric The Stealer of Souls written by Michael Moorcock and published by Del Rey. This book was released on 2008-02-19 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The stories here are the raw heart of Michael Moorcock. They are the spells that first drew me and all the numerous admirers of his work with whom I am acquainted into Moorcock’s luminous and captivating web.” –from the Foreword by Alan Moore, creator of V for Vendetta When Michael Moorcock began chronicling the adventures of the albino sorcerer Elric, last king of decadent Melniboné, and his sentient vampiric sword, Stormbringer, he set out to create a new kind of fantasy adventure, one that broke with tradition and reflected a more up-to-date sophistication of theme and style. The result was a bold and unique hero–weak in body, subtle in mind, dependent on drugs for the vitality to sustain himself–with great crimes behind him and a greater destiny ahead: a rock-and-roll antihero who would channel all the violent excesses of the sixties into one enduring archetype. Now, with a major film in development, here is the first volume of a dazzling collection of stories containing the seminal appearances of Elric and lavishly illustrated by award-winning artist John Picacio–plus essays, letters, maps, and other material. Adventures include “The Dreaming City,” “While the Gods Laugh,” “Kings in Darkness,” “Dead God’s Homecoming,” “Black Sword’s Brothers,” and “Sad Giant’s Shield.” An indispensable addition to any fantasy collection, Elric: The Stealer of Souls is an unmatched introduction to a brilliant writer and his most famous–or infamous–creation. “The most significant UK author of sword and sorcery, a form he has both borrowed from and transformed.” –The Encyclopedia of Fantasy From the Trade Paperback edition.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “A fascinating look at how consumers perceive logos, ads, commercials, brands, and products.”—Time How much do we know about why we buy? What truly influences our decisions in today’s message-cluttered world? In Buyology, Martin Lindstrom presents the astonishing findings from his groundbreaking three-year, seven-million-dollar neuromarketing study—a cutting-edge experiment that peered inside the brains of 2,000 volunteers from all around the world as they encountered various ads, logos, commercials, brands, and products. His startling results shatter much of what we have long believed about what captures our interest—and drives us to buy. Among the questions he explores: • Does sex actually sell? • Does subliminal advertising still surround us? • Can “cool” brands trigger our mating instincts? • Can our other senses—smell, touch, and sound—be aroused when we see a product? Buyology is a fascinating and shocking journey into the mind of today's consumer that will captivate anyone who's been seduced—or turned off—by marketers' relentless attempts to win our loyalty, our money, and our minds.
