The dramatic and hotly anticipated conclusion to Alexis Deacon's original Geis trilogy, featuring new branding and a format designed to sit alongside Curse of the Chosen Volume 1. As the great chief matriarch lay dying, she gave one final decree: Upon her death there would be a contest. Having no heir of her own blood she called on the Gods. Let fate decide the one truly worthy to rule in her place. The rich, the strong, the wise, the powerful; many put forward their names in hope of being chosen. But when the night came... only fifty souls alone were chosen. As Io's quest reaches its deadly and dramatic conclusion, things are not all as they seem in the sorceress' game for the right to rule. Still trapped inside the torturous nightmares within the castle, who will remain in the battle for the throne, and which of the chosen will be lost along the way? Or will they fail in their attempts to escape the horrors within? Alexis Deacon draws his Geis trilogy to an epic and emotive conclusion in this newly branded volume, packed to the rafters with his beautiful artwork and gripping storytelling.

This book serves as a retrieval and reevaluation of a rich haul of comic caricatures from the turbulent years between the Reform Bill crisis of the early 1830s and the rise and fall of Chartism in the 1840s. With a telling selection of illustrations, this book deploys the techniques of close reading and political contextualization to demonstrate the aesthetic and ideological clout of a neglected tranche of satirical prints and periodicals dismissed as ineffectual by historians or distasteful by contemporaries. The prime exhibits are the work of Robert Seymour and C.J. Grant giving acerbic comic edge to the case for reform against class and state oppression and the excesses of the monarchical regime under the young Queen Victoria.

The Mud Whale has been overrun with tarichos, a virulent parasitic growth that turns everyone it touches into mindless husks controlled by the Nous Geraki.

As I travel around the United States and Canada as a safety consultant and motivational speaker for schools, colleges, universities, and private industry, I am amazed at the information found on cooking located in bookstores and restaurants. Why write a book about popcorn? Because I love popcorn, but more importantly, like a student in a classroom, I had a need to learn more about one of my favorite snacks. This book does more than just explain how to pop corn. This book can be used by teachers as a history lesson and be used in home economics, science classes, math classes, agricultural classrooms, etc. Hopefully, this book will be used as another fun tool to educate children. Everyone loves popcorn It is my hope that you enjoy this book.
