Sink Your Fangs into the Mysteries of Life and Seek Out Your
Darkest Desires. This thrilling deck resurrects vampire archetypes
for a new age. These children of the night are modern, nuanced, and
deadly creatures who will inspire you to unearth forgotten
treasures within yourself. Craig Maher's illustrations explore
themes of power, conflict, romance, and adventure. Woven throughout
the cards is the eternal human story told through the eyes of
vampires, and the companion book by Charles Harrington reveals how
their journey gives you new insights into the cards. This
Rider-Waite-Smith-based deck opens your eyes to the wonders of
life, death, and what it's like to move through the world as an
outsider.
Put on comfortable shoes or boots to journey through 14 self-guided
walking and biking tours of the strange and haunted locations
across some lesser-known regions of Rhode Island. Tales of mythical
monsters, ghosts, and spirits from a murder or two may greet you as
you explore Providence, Newport, Jamestown, and surrounding areas.
Meet fabled half-deer, half-goat "doat," a demonic dog that has
been scaring visitors for centuries, and ghosts that may be
slightly more welcoming. Find out whether the Newport Tower is the
true location of the lost Viking city of Norumbega, and visit the
strange locations made famous by Rhode Island's favorite son of
horror fiction: H. P. Lovecraft. Nine maps will guide you along
your route and historical backgrounds provide the backdrop for the
supernatural. To date, no one taking these tours has died at the
hands of a mysterious lurking creature, so you should be fine...

determine whether a knob of butter is equivalent to a lump or a pat
or a scosh? Can you say which word in the English language has the

If you can't, be assured that Charles Harrington Elster, author of
several well-loved works on language, can-and does in his latest
book, a delightfully designed compendium of the most common,
interesting, and entertaining conundrums in our language. Drawing
upon esoteric sources and his own inimitable expertise, Elster uses
a lively question-and-answer format to cover a variety of

and pronunciation. Every chapter features original brainteasers,
challenging puzzles, and a trove of literary trivia.
