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...
A thrilling story of darkness and destiny, where the brave step
forward and fall over. A terrible sect has arisen in Illmoor -
they're deadly and they're even more hellbent on the destruction of
the city than the citizens themselves.
The first in an hilarous and exciting new fantasy sequence from a
fresh new talent. The Duke of Dulwich is in distress - several
reports are coming in that the city is beginning to be over-run by
a plague of rats. Naturally he has killed off all witnesses, but
daily the problem is becoming more obvious. His corrupt council,
led by the hapless ex-wizard Tambor has no solutions. He must send
for mercenaries to rid his city of the rampant rodents. Heralds
ride out from every gate, each hoping to bring back the saviour of
the city. Part-time herald, full-time thief, and grandson to
Tambor, Jimmy Quickstint is the lucky man - falling haphazardly
upon the skills of Diek Wustapha - a charmer - recently inhabited
by magic and suddenly irresistible to girls, sheep - and rats. Diek
fulfils his task and is promised pound]500 for his troubles. But
once the rats have gone, the council renege on their deal. Full of
anger (and magic), Diek charms the children of Dulwich out of the
city, playing on his mouth organ, where he disappears into the
caves and woodland of the surrounding area. The Duke is now in
despair. Jimmy and his useless friends Groan, a barbarian
mercenary, and Gordo, a dwarf - de
As a boy, Alexander ?Sandy? Calder was always fiddling with odds
and ends, making objects for friends. When he got older and became
an artist, his fiddling led him to create wire sculptures. One day,
Sandy made a lion. Next came a lion cage. Before he knew it, he had
an entire circus and was traveling between Paris and New York
performing a brand-new kind of art for amazed audiences.
This is the story of Sandy's Circus, as told by Tanya Lee Stone
with Boris Kulikov's spectacular and innovative illustrations.
Calder's original circus is on permanent display at the Whitney
Museum in New York City.
David Lee Stone has been a chronic oversharer since the moment he
first learned to talk. In this brutally honest memoir told through
a series of therapy sessions David recounts many hilarious tales
from the 80s and 90s, recounting the lessons he's learned. These
include cautionary tales on why it's never a good idea to deal with
retail customers' complaints using a sock puppet, why it was
entirely possible to order obscene items that didn't exist back in
the glorious days of Blockbuster Video, why discovering what your
dog REALLY thinks of you is a bad idea and how the sort of BMX bike
you rode determined your pecking order at school.
When a ragged band of mercenaries happen upon an ancient artefact
in a hidden ruin, they unwittingly trigger a series of events that
will have dire consequences for the entire population of Illmoor.
While they hurtle towards a major conflict with the most twisted
and malevolent mind in the land, an impostor sits on the Dullitch
throne, his illusion sustained by the sort of dark magic that
always comes at a price...
Two strangers in the wrong place at the worst possible time...a
lone assassin prepared to do the dirtiest of jobs...and a guard
sentry determined to stop him. A dark enemy is about to rise in
Illmoor, something even more chaotic and twisted than the citizens
themselves. Step forward Enoch Dwellings, master sleuth, who boasts
a reputation built entirely on an intricate web of carefully
calculated lies. Together with his hapless but increasingly inept
assistant, Doctor Wheredad (no medical training whatsoever), he
will do anything it takes to solve a crime that might actually end
up costing him more than his own life.
