before Christmas, a single mother is violently assaulted. It's a

find the victim is a woman with nothing to hide and no reason for
anyone to hurt her. A few days later, the mother of the woman
attacked rings the police station. Her granddaughter has drawn a

girl who the person with the weapon is, she whispers two words. Bad

Written by Mark Twain during the Philippine-American War in the first decade of the twentieth century, The War Prayer tells of a patriotic church service held to send the town's young men off to war. During the service, a stranger enters and addresses the gathering. He tells the patriotic crowd that their prayers for victory are double-edged-by praying for victory they are also praying for the destruction of the enemy... for the destruction of human life. Originally rejected for publication in 1905 as "not quite suited to a woman's magazine," this antiwar parable remained unpublished until 1923, when Twain's literary executor collected it in the volume Europe and Elsewhere. Handsomely illustrated by the artist and war correspondent Philip Groth, The War Prayer remains a relevant classic by an American icon.
This is the classic novel brought to life in full colour! Bram
Stoker's gothic masterpiece was first published in 1897, and has
spawned so many classic films, all based on the character he
invented when Queen Victoria was on the throne. Like
"Frankenstein", the films have pushed the characters into the very
fabric of our society, so it is with great pride that we bring you
a visual treatment that is true to the original - made even more
exciting by the wonderous talent that is Staz Johnson!
The adventure is over but life goes on for an elf mage just beginning to learn what living is all about.
Elf mage Frieren and her courageous fellow adventurers have defeated the Demon King and brought peace to the land. But Frieren will long outlive the rest of her former party. How will she come to understand what life means to the people around her?
Years before the end of the war against the Demon King, Macht, the most powerful of the Seven Sages of Destruction, made a deal with the lord of the fortress city of Weise in an attempt to understand human emotions. Although the deal was at first beneficial to both sides, Macht eventually transformed the entire city and all of its residents into gold. Now, the strange tale of Macht, the fate of Weise, and Denken’s own past will all lead Frieren and her companions to one of their most difficult confrontations yet.
