Book Description
HORROR IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN EVIL OVERTAKES THE HEART. Joey's a Baltimore mechanic. One night, she receives a call from her best friend, asking for his car to be picked up from the infamous body dumping grounds of Baltimore: Leakin Park. When she arrives, there's little more around than a stalled-out car and a couple of ravens, so she leaves only with the car. Back at the body shop, it doesn't take long for the smell of rot to permeate the trunk. Inside? A corpse. The cops say her friend did it. His absence is his guilt, but Joey knows better. She will find her missing friend and she will prove his innocence. But something isn't right in Baltimore. It's not just the feeling that someone is always watching from the city's abandoned buildings... Her search for her friend reveals something much worse hiding under Baltimore. A ghost town, a reaper, regret. Suddenly, the city's rage and the stink that rising out of the dirt make much more sense.

Book Description
Everything's an insult when your soul is bankrupt. Joey and Wayland may have returned to Baltimore after their deaths, but things are not the same through eyes tainted by death. The city seems darker, the graffiti louder, and a meltdown is only a hair-trigger away. Joey's ready for everything to go back to normal, but that might not be possible when every time she's around Wayland, he's dripping with someone's freshly spilled blood. Meanwhile, Jag's losing his patience with Joey's preference for her serial killer best friend. Desperate to keep her life together in a somewhat recognizable way, Joey discovers that a local medium might have a way to calm the regret-fueled rage that plagues both her and Wayland, driving them both further out of control with each passing day. In hopes of a return to normal, she sets out to ask the authorities of the afterlife to grant her and Wayland a real second chance. The ravens stalking her promise that if she doesn't move quickly, she may lose everything she cares about. With a past and a future that can't compromise, tragedy doesn't spare the indecisive.

Book Description
Plague has gone down in history as one of the terrors of humanity, and if there was perhaps but one word that conjured fear in the minds of people centuries ago it would have been that of 'plague'. Without any understanding of germ theory physicians could only attempt to deal with the visible symptoms of a plague attack and not overcome the bacterium at its' heart, Yersinia pestis. Plants and the Plague looks at around three dozen plant species used in the herbal medicine response to plague and pestilence in past centuries. It also looks at the clinical background to the disease, past medical thinking on the subject, courses of treatment formerly used, and numerous plague remedies that the selected plants found their way into. It is a story of superstition, tragedies of error, and faith in misguided medical precepts, but also one of incredible bravery on the part of those physicians and doctors who stayed behind to treat the afflicted and dying in the face of this killer disease.
