Bigfoots ARE The Locals. They live here. They were here before we
humans showed up on the continent and they will likely outlast us.
This is a bigfoot book' yet it probes much deeper than a simple
treatment of the hackneyed question of 'Does Bigfoot exist?'. This
book delves into such questions as why bigfoots exist, why they
behave as they do, and why they have not yet been, and may never be
dragged into the spotlight of science and the media. And don't look
to science' for answers, because science is currently unequipped to
shed any light on this profound anthropological mystery.

For the first time, the UK's number one TV psychic shares some of
his most personal stories and terrifying encounters with the spirit
world, and what it's really like to be 'possessed'. The star of
LIVINGtv's 'Most Haunted' and 'Ghost Towns' goes on a new journey
that will chill you to the bone. Derek takes us with him into the
darkest places of the spirit world where he confronts people taken
over by demonic entities, the spirits of ancient Egyptians whose
malevolent presence reaches beyond the tomb, those evil ghosts with
unfinished business who are terrorising the living, and the dead
who are determined to come back from the other side, and take Derek
with them if they can... If you thought you'd already seen Derek's
most terrifying battles with the dark side - think again.
'Charm, wit, and stylistic brilliance.... This is a novel that
every writer should read and reread' - Chicago News 'If men no
longer know what they are looking at, there may well be unicorns in
the world yet, unknown and glad of it.' Living in peace in her
lilac wood, the Unicorn didn't know the world had changed, or that
anything had happened to the rest of her kind. Overhearing a chance
conversation, she resolves to venture out and discover the truth.
The road is dangerous, and the risks are great. If she fails, then
unicorns will be lost. Forever. A modern fairy tale, The Last
Unicorn is a beloved classic, voted by TIME as one of the 100
greatest fantasy novels of all time. It is fantastical, poignant,
wistful and wonderous, showing us the humanity of magic, and the
magic of humanity. Available in the UK for the first time in
decades, this edition features an introduction by Patrick Rothfuss.
'At his best, Peter S. Beagle outshines the moon, the sun, the

out of the book as brightly as any of Beagle's unicorns' -

New England is renowned for its quaint towns, beautiful landscapes,
and busy ports. But it is also infamous as the setting for
unexplained deaths, ghost stories, bizarre murders, and peculiar
wills and epitaphs. In New England Nightmares: True Tales of the

stranger side of New England and the Mid-Atlantic. With shocking
and unforgettable tales from the tip of Maine all the way to the
New Jersey shore, this eerie collection explores our fascination
with death and the unknown, including tales of medical students

Last Days: Zombie Apocalypse is a skirmish-scale miniatures game of survival horror. It pits players against each other in a nightmarish near-future where the dead have returned to life and are feasting on the living.
Players build their own factions, representing desperate civilians, military personnel, or hardened survivors, and must explore, scavenge, and fight in order to survive another day. Rival gangs are only one of the dangers they face - mindless zombies wander the streets, driven by insatiable hunger and drawn by the sound of combat!
A gang's ability to scavenge is as vital as their combat ability, and players must ensure that they have the resources to survive in this hostile world. Scenarios and campaigns allow you to develop your gang, gain experience and recruit new henchmen to build up your strength or replace the inevitable casualties of the zombie apocalypse.

Hoffman's evocative illustrations. Readers will meet the Queen of
Death Valley, cheer on the ghost who haunts his claim-jumping
murderer, look out for a blood-hungry rolling head, learn about the
sea monster of Monterey Bay Canyon, and hear otherworldly voices

campfire on a dark and stormy night or from the backseat of the
family van on the way to grandma's, this is a collection to
treasure.
Monstrous textuality emerges when Gothic narratives like
Frankenstein reflect the monstrous in their narrative structure to
create narratives of resistance, and allows writers to
meta-narratively reflect their own poetics and textual production,
and reclaim authority over their work under circumstances of
systemic cultural oppression and Othering. This book traces the
representation of other Others through Black feminist hauntology in
Toni Morrison's Beloved (1987) and Love (2003); it explores fat
freak embodiment as a feminist resistance strategy in Angela
Carter's Nights at the Circus (1984) and Margaret Atwood's Lady
Oracle (1976); and it reads Atwood's MaddAddam trilogy (2003-13)
and Shelley Jackson's Patchwork Girl (1995) within a framework of
critical posthumanist and cyborg theory. The result is a
comprehensive argument about how these texts can be read within a
framework of critical posthumanist questioning of knowledge
production, and of epistemological exploration, beyond the
exclusionary humanist paradigm.

Told with uncensored Southern wit and guidance, this inspirational
memoir "is a good primer on getting into the psychic realm"
(Booklist) and recounts the story of a Hollywood film executive who
journeys through the cosmic wilderness and, against all odds,
discovers psychic superpowers that radically transformed her life.
As a senior executive at one of the world's largest movie studios,
Julie Rieger spent her days marketing the imaginary stories of
ghosts, faeries, superheroes, aliens, and more fantastical
creatures. But after the devastating loss of her mother, the world
of make-believe became reality when Julie captured her first ghost
in a photograph and blew open a door to the Other Side. The Ghost
Photographer chronicles Julie's wild ride down the spiritual rabbit
hole. After a series of unexpected, mind-blowing, and sometimes
frightening encounters with the spirit realm, Julie was forced to
face this strange awakening, flying in the face of scientific dogma
and her own die-hard skepticism. Ultimately, she discovered that
what she thought she had lost with the death of her
mother-unconditional love-was in fact the greatest superpower one
can wield. "A hugely entertaining must-read for anyone who's ever
struggled with loss or wondered what might be beyond the veil of
our five senses" (Anita Moorjani, author of Dying To Be Me), The
Ghost Photographer offers insights into our relationship with the
spirit world, prayers and rituals for cleansing and protecting our
homes from unwanted ghosts, and guidance on how to develop our
intuition and sixth sense.
