Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After fourteen long years, Meri’s family is whole again, but her life has become stranger than ever. For starters, Meri’s mother took her and her brother, Kevin, down to Kilstiffen, the sunken city of which her grandfather is the king. Not only is Meri the heiress of Kilstiffen, her grandfather expects her to act the part. Worse, those who live below don’t trust surface dwellers, including Meri’s father. As if all of that wasn’t stressful enough, school is starting up again with a new headmaster, there’s a new boy in town who won’t leave Meri alone, and Sister Mary Katherine isn’t allowed to teach her literature classes any longer. Despite all of that, Meri also has Aodhan, her dear friend who’s now become something more. As they navigate their new, closer relationship, Meri learns of more threats cropping up. Another sea kingdom has developed an interest in Kilstiffen, and Meri and her brother unwittingly get wrapped up in their schemes. Add to that the appearance of a collector of souls and a fairy that can seduce females with a touch, and Meri’s quiet fishing village starts resembling a fairy tale gone wrong. To top it off, the Master of the Dead is in town, and he wants to reclaim his home: Tech Duinn, the legendary house of the dead. The last time he had access to Tech Duinn, the streets ran red with the blood of his victims. Meri’s always believed that with Aodhan at her side, they could do anything—but how can they withstand a host of threats that bring them right to Death’s Door?

In spite of the psychic powers of its residents, there’s no telling what trouble is brewing in this burg… The highlight of this year's fall festival in Crystal Haven is a bonfire with a witch’s cauldron resting over it. Clyde’s best friend, Diana, leads a ritual to divine the future, but it seems no one foresees that one of their own will drop dead—or that Diana will be a prime suspect.

But after another coven member is attacked, Clyde suspects there’s a witch hunt afoot and focuses her psychic and sleuthing skills to clear her friend’s name and catch a killer.

Book excerpt: As the war in Europe winds down, a unit of battle-fatigued GIs are tasked in liberating the survivors of the infamous Verurteilt concentration camp, in theory a relatively simple rescue mission. Upon arrival, Sergeant Rance Hawkins and his four young charges are ordered to search an unmapped area beyond the main camp for evidence of a separate, clandestine compound, reportedly created for high-ranking SS officers to further torment and torture. Their quest will eventually lead them into a nearby coal mine, where a young camp survivor claims that her mother and other refugees are being held. Inside the murky caverns, the motley crew of dogfaces discover revelations so terrifying and vile as to make even the inhuman atrocities of Verurteilt seem tame by comparison.

Download or read book Death s Dark Abyss written by Massimo Carlotto and published by Europa Editions. This book was released on 2006-10-01 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author known as an Italian James Ellroy delivers “a raw, extremely dark portrait of a crime and its aftermath” (The Washington Post). During a bungled robbery attempt, Raffaello Beggiato takes a young woman and her eight-year-old child hostage. He later murders both in cold blood. Beggiato is arrested, tried, and sentenced to life. Undone by his loss, the victims’ father and husband, Silvano Contin, plunges into an ever-deepening abyss until the day, fifteen years later, when the murderer seeks his pardon. The wounded Silvano turns predator as he ruthlessly plots his revenge. A riveting story of guilt, revenge, and justice, Massimo Carlotto’s Death’s Dark Abyss tells the tale of two men and the savage crime that irreversibly binds them. Two dramatic stories meet in this stylish, passionate indictment of a legal system that seems powerless both to compensate victims and to rehabilitate perpetrators. “[A] remarkable study of corruption and redemption in a world where revenge is best served ice-cold.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “The master of Mediterranean noir has fashioned a dark, twisted tale of retribution.” —Library Journal (starred review) “[A] subtle and disturbing tale of the effects of violence on its survivors . . . The author manages to make Contin’s descent into hell plausible and heartbreaking, and devises an ingenious and even touching resolution.” —Publishers Weekly

Book excerpt: "The Morrigan is Pagan Ireland's dark goddess. Her name is translated as "phantom queen" or "great queen." The Morrigan is a goddess of war and sexuality, witchcraft and death, protection and retribution. This goddess of justice is classified among the Sidhe-Ireland's fairies-but she may have a mermaid incarnation, as well. The Morrigan dates back at least to Ireland's Iron Age, but she is as modern as she is ancient. With the possible exception of the witch goddess Hekate, the Morrigan is currently the most popular Pagan goddess. This book provides a guide to this complex, mysterious goddess that encompasses practical veneration with modern devotionals, entwined with traditional lore and Irish-Celtic history"--

Download or read book Death s Social and Material Meaning beyond the Human written by Jesse D. Peterson and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2024-01-09 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Death studies typically focus on the death of humans, overlooking the wider factors involved in social and natural processes around death. This edited volume provides an alternative focus for death studies by looking beyond human death, to reveal the complex interconnections among human and more than human creatures, entities and environments. Bringing together a diverse range of international scholars, the book sheds light on topics which have previously remained at the margins of contemporary death studies and death care cultures. Organised around three themes – Knowledge and Mediation, Care and Remembrance, and Agency and Power – this book pushes the boundaries of death studies to explore death and dying from beyond the perspective of a nature/culture binary.
