Sharks - the ultimate predators, masters of their watery domain, a
world that is entirely alien and inhospitable to man. So many
aspects of the shark are associated with humankind's most primal
fears. The tell-tale dorsal fin slicing through the water, the dead
eyed-stare, the gaping jaws full to unforgiving teeth, the
remorseless drive to kill and feed...Inspired by such classic pulp
movies as Jaws and Deep Blue Sea - as well as such ludicrous
delights as Sharknado and Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus - the stories
contained within are rip-roaring page-turners and slow-build
chillers that celebrate all things savage, pulp and selachian.
Covering the whole range of speculative fiction genres, from horror
and Steampunk, through to SF and WTF, these are stories with bite!
Come on in. The water's fine...
An interesting compendium of the origins of familiar Christmas
customs and traditions. Green speculates on such matters as the
identity of the three kings, explains such mysteries as the
reasoning behind the date of Christmas and the development of the
Advent calendar and the Christmas cracker, and asks, in the words
of Brian's Mum: "What is myrrh anyway?" You'll find out here.

In the cavern-like darkness of the arcade, the neon phosphor-glow

moth to a flame, digging deep in your pocket you pull out a shiny

fanfare that marks your arrival. One hand on the joystick, the
other splayed across the control buttons, your pulse begins to
quicken. Ready Player One Press StartYou've barely begun but
suddenly the discordant bleeps are trumpeting your failure as your
8-bit adventure comes to an abrupt end. At least in the world of
the video arcade you get a second chance. But what is the true
price you pay when you make a pact with the digital demon? There's
always another coin, an extra life to be earned, a second
chance...Isn't there?GAME OVERA dozen stories of creeping dread and
savage horror inspired by the humble amusement arcade and the
classic coin-ops of yesteryear. Twelve tales to chill your blood by
twelve masters of the malevolent and the macabre.Just keep
reminding yourself, it's only a game...Isn't it?
This volume examines contemporary diplomatic, economic, and
security competition between China and Japan in the Asia-Pacific
region. The book outlines the role that Sino-Japanese competition
plays in East Asian security, an area of study largely overlooked
in contemporary writing on Asian security, which tends to focus on
US-China relations and/or US hegemony in Asia. The volume focuses
on Chinese and Japanese foreign policy under President Xi Jinping
and Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, and regional security dynamics
within and between Asian states/institutions since 2012. It employs
regional security complex theory as a theoretical framework to view
Chinese and Japanese competition in the Asian region. In doing so,
the volume draws on a "levels of analysis" approach to demonstrate
the value in looking at security in the Asia-Pacific from a
regional rather than global perspective. The vast majority of
existing research on the region's security tends to focus on great
power relations and treats Asia as a sub-region within the larger
global security architecture. In contrast, this volume shows how
competition between the two largest Asian economies shapes East
Asia's security environment and drives security priorities across
Asia's sub-regions. As such, this collection provides an important
contribution to discussion on security in Asia; one with potential
to influence both political and military policy makers, security
practitioners, and scholars. This book will be of much interest to
students of Asian politics, regional security, diplomacy, and
international relations.

Shakespeare Vs Cthulhu An anthologie of fine stories inspir'd by
the Bard of Stratford and the Lovecraftian Mythos Imagine if it had
been William Shakespeare, England's greatest playwright, who had
discovered the truth about the Great Old Ones and the cosmic entity
we know as Cthulhu, rather than the American horror writer H P
Lovecraft. Imagine if Stratford's favourite son had been the one to
learn of the dangers of seeking after forbidden knowledge and of
the war waged between the Elder Gods in the Outer Darkness, and had
passed on that message, to those with eyes to see it, through his
plays and poetry. Welcome to the world of Shakespearean Cthulhu! To
mark the 400th anniversary of the death of William Shakespeare,
Snowbooks proudly presents fifteen stories of eldritch horror that
blend the Bard's most famous plays with Lovecraft's most terrifying
creations. But before you dip into this cursed tome, be warned -
that way madness lies...
Essential Reading for clinicians, managers and researchers in child
psychiatry, this authoritative book provides accessible coverage of
essential theory as well as clear practical guidance to inpatient

patients.
Bringing together contributions from across the profession, this
book covers the 'state-of-the-art' in current clinical treatment,
and sets a bold new agenda for the future, arguing that inpatient
child psychiatric units retain great potential for creative,
effective, relevant treatment.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the South Bronx had one of the
highest per capita murder rates in America. As the use of crack
cocaine surged, replacing heroin as the high of choice, dealers and
gangs staked claims to territory and consumers through intimidation
and murder, and families found themselves fractured by crime and
incarceration. Chronicling the rise and fall of Sex Money Murder,
one of the most violent gangs of its era, in this engrossing work
of gritty urban reportage, Jonathan Green offers a visceral and
devastating portrait of a New York City borough going down in
flames, and of the detectives and prosecutors struggling to stem
the tide of violence. Drawing on first-person interviews, police
reports and court transcripts, Sex Money Murder, gives an
extraordinary perspective on modern-day America.
