keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the

Step inside The Magic Cottage, another chilling classic from the
Master of Horror James Herbert. A cottage was found in the heart of
the forest. It was charming, maybe a little run-down, but so
peaceful - a magical haven for creativity and love. But the cottage
had an alternative side - the bad magic. What happened there was
horrendous beyond belief . . .

In James Herbert's Portent it is the near future and signs of an
impending global disaster are multiplying. Earthquakes, floods and
volcanic eruptions sweep the earth. As the storms and tempests
rage, a series of ominous events signal the emergence of a new and
terrifying force. While scuba-diving on the Great Barrier Reef a
diver watches fascinated as a tiny light floats past him towards
the surface. Moments later he is torn to pieces as the reef erupts
with colossal power. On the banks of the Ganges, a young boy pauses
from his back-breaking labours, transfixed by the play of a
mysterious light amidst the monsoon rains, before a towering geyser
of boiling water bursts from beneath the streets, scalding him to
death. In the Chinese city of Kashi travellers bring back reports
of a strange light seen shining above the endless dunes of the
Taklimakan Desert. And as the city's inhabitants watch for its
return, the desert rises up to engulf them in a tidal wave of sand.
All have seen a portent. A sign of unimaginable powers about to be
unleashed. A sign that something incredible is about to begin . . .

The Veitch dynasty, originally from Scotland, owned plant nurseries
in Devon and London throughout the nineteenth century. By
commissioning several expeditions to search for new and exotic
flora for British gardens, they were instrumental in bringing many
previously unknown plants into cultivation in Britain. James
Herbert Veitch (1868 1907), who became managing director of the
firm, spent time in Germany and France studying the techniques of
horticulture, and later travelled the world himself collecting
plants for the nursery in Chelsea. This work, published in 1906,
gives a detailed account of the family business and of the men that
the firm sent to South America, Japan, China and India during the
period 1840 1906, including distinguished plant finders such as
William Lobb, his brother Thomas, who first introduced various
types of orchids from India to Britain for cultivation, and Richard
Pearce, who brought back tuberous begonias from South America.

supposed sanctuary - and by some who still do. Yet their hour of
retribution is at hand . . . Start the chilling series from the
