*Winner of the Best Fantasy Novel Aurealis Award* 'Maria Lewis is a
must-read' Buzzfeed 'Pay attention urban fantasy fans - Maria Lewis
is a name you'll want to remember' One More Page Considering her
status as the world's most powerful medium, Casper von Klitzing and
her twin brother Baristan have lived a pretty normal life - until
now. After a horrific incident in her home city of Berlin,
orchestrated by the mysterious Oct, Casper is consumed with
vengeance towards an enemy she doesn't understand. But the only
other person ever to escape Oct was a witch - and so Casper is soon
on her trail. But this witch does not want to be found. Diving
headfirst into the supernaturally secretive world of spells, charms
and covens, it's not long before Casper is crossing more than just
the line between the living and the dead . . . Reinventing witches
and ghosts with a much-needed feminist twist, this is an unmissable
new read from one of the most exciting voices in fantasy: 'If you
haven't heard about Maria Lewis you must have been living under a
rock' Good Reading Magazine 'I can't wait to find out what happens
next!' Keri Arthur 'Truly one of the best in the genre I have ever
read.' Oscar-nominee Lexi Alexander (Green Street Hooligans,
Punisher: War Zone, Arrow, Supergirl) 'Journalist Maria Lewis grabs
the paranormal fiction genre by the scruff of its neck and gives it
a shake' The West Australian 'An intriguing take on a classic
monster with vibrant, modern characters.' Sci Fi Bulletin 'Pay
attention urban fantasy fans - Maria Lewis is a name you'll want to
remember.' One More Page
This was the first book on London's ghosts, when Peter Underwood
was President of the Ghost Club. He is uniquely qualified to write
Haunted London, presenting a parade and gazetteer of the psychic
phenomena of Britain's capital city - a city with nearly ten
million living inhabitants and the ghosts of many dead ones. As
well as all the famous hauntings - the Cock Lane ghost, the Grey
Man at Drury Lane, the Tower ghosts, the haunted house at Berkeley
Square etc. - the book contains many new and hitherto unpublished
findings. Not all ghosts date back to earlier centuries: there are
ghost motorcyclists, for instance, and new buildings on the sites
of older ones are as likely to have ghosts as those which still
stand. For easy reference, Haunted London has divided up London
geographically. Ghostly associations are uncovered in churches,
theatres, hotels, inns and scenes of murders. Poltergeist
infestation is another phenomenon included in this work which is
sure to fascinate anyone wanting to get to know London better -
whether they be visitors, psychic researchers, students of history,
of legend or folklore, or simply lovers of one of the world's
finest cities.
London's Underground is associated with a multitude of ghostly
stories and sightings. Particular stations and abandoned lines,
many of which are in close proximity to burial sites from centuries
ago, have given rise to unexplained events. This chilling book
reveals well-known and hitherto unpublished tales of spirits,
specters, and other spooky occurrences on one of the oldest railway
networks in the world. The stories of sightings include the ghost
of an actress regularly witnessed on Aldywch Station and the "Black
Nun" at Bank Station. Eerie noises, such as the cries of 13
year-old Anne Naylor, who was murdered in 1758 at Farringdon
Station, and the screams of children who were in an accident at
Bethnal Green Station during World War II, are still heard echoing
down the stations. These and many more ghostly accounts are
recorded in fascinating detail in this book, which is a must-read
for anyone interested in the mysterious and murky history of
London's Underground.

California: Strange and Gothic Tales from the Golden State explores
the disturbing and macabre stories of unexplained deaths,
intentional live burials, true crimes, and ghosts who haunt the
Pacific Coast. This spooky collection includes the extraordinarily
odd, like the account of a coroner, who "borrowed" the stylish
clothes of one dead man and even sold the corpse's head to a doctor
for scientific research, and the paranormal, like the tale of a
haunted, two-story house in San Francisco that was moved across
town in an effort to dislodge its ghostly tenants. The attempt
failed, and the San Francisco Chronicle commented that "the
neighborhood has been kept in a constant dread and torment by
unearthly groans, mysterious lights, and agonized shrieks emanating
from their dread habitation." An intriguing and frightful look at
the disturbing side of the state, Creepy California promises to
send chills down your spine and keep you looking over your
shoulder.
