Author and paranormal investigator Bunty Austin reveals insights
into Anglesey folklore and resurrected ghost stories, which have
long been forgotten, in this compelling read. The ghosts of
Anglesey are of great age, their manners and appearance hinting at
beliefs older than the oldest books. They are bold and memorable,
striking in appearance, forceful in character, often terrifying and
sometimes even dangerous. Within the pages of this book you will
discover the daunting behaviour of the ghost in Coal Hole and the
terrible goings-on at Amlwch Lockup; you will find yourself drawn
in as a spectator to the trial of Dic Richardson for blood-thirsty
murder (and the haunting that followed); and you will uncover what
really happened to Megan, who was led away on horse-back by a group
of soldiers (if you're not too scared). Prepare for a fascinating
tour of ghostly encounters from the haunted hub of North Wales - no
other island has such a rich store of history, which must be kept
alive at all costs.
'Wow! [This book] has it all - a terrific new character, devious
twists, plenty of action and one hell of an ending' JONATHAN
MABERRY, New York Times bestselling author of Ink and Rage Angels
walk among us, but so do other unearthly beings in this brand-new
series by the international bestselling author of the Anita Blake
and Merry Gentry series. Meet Detective Zaniel Havelock, a man with
the special ability to communicate directly with angels. A former
trained Angel speaker, he devoted his life to serving both the
celestial beings and his fellow humans with his gift, but a
terrible betrayal compelled him to leave that life behind. Now he's
a cop who is still working on the side of angels. But where there
are angels, there are also demons. There's no question that there's
evil at work when he's called in to examine the murder scene of a
college student - but is it just the evil that one human being can
do to another, or is it something more? When demonic possession is
a possibility, even angelic protection can only go so far. Now the
race is on to stop a killer before he finds his next victim, as
Zaniel is forced to confront his own very personal demons, and the
past he never truly left behind.
In 1795 Johann Wolfgang von Goethe produced his tale of tales-The
fairytale of "The Green Snake and the Beautiful Lily," an
extraordinary masterwork that is unique among Goethe's works. An
initiatory fable of transformation, the tale arose out of the
Rosicrucian, alchemical impulses that play an important role in
Faust and Goethe's other writings. Among those influenced by it was
Rudolf Steiner, whose mystery dramas employ similar themes. The
authors begin by placing the fairytale against the background of
Goethe's life and cultural setting. They then discuss its
importance in the development of Steiner's spiritual science.
Finally, they describe its visual language, profound mystical
insights, and relevance for us today. The book includes Carlyle's
classic translation of the tale and illustrations, plus Steiner's
essay on its inner meaning. The authors offer a positive look at
the possibilities of the twenty-first century. They view Goethe's
fairytale as fully relevant to our time, just as it was when Goethe
first wrote it.

murderers, robbers, drunkards and general ne'er-do-wells all
