Book Description
Call Me Stranger is a fantasy for adults which retains our childish love of the magickally impossible. Yes. Magick, not Magic is what counts in this romp where Evil takes on Good. The war between Darline and the Cat didn’t really get going for a thousand years after Darline was burned at the stake for Witchcraft. Cat did all a faithful Familiar could, but Time Rules tied his paws as he fought to prevent the newly Evil Darline wreaking havoc. The shy accountant, Norman Boosbeck, didn’t even know he was a Warlock because Magick died off centuries Cat’s team of Witches all carried their own weaknesses – dipsomaniac Erin, kleptomaniac Lydia, or pipe-smoking smelly tramp, Ramona. They were joined by the brattish child-medium Melanie (who was also the lovely adult Alice, sent to inspire Norman) and the dapper Warlock hypnotist, Darren. Irving, a dwarf from an unknown planet, met Cat in Limbo after getting lost in Time. However, Cat appointed him unofficial leader of the eccentric gang intent upon bringing Norman back within the Magickal fold. It was difficult! Today’s world couldn’t even spell ‘magick’, let alone use it. Everything went wrong when the man in Darline’s life, Lord of the Manor, Sir James Hawkney became a pawn in the ambitious schemes of the King’s Prosecutor, Hubert, and Cedricke, the Executioner. Marching sheep, talking rabbits, four-foot frogs, twelve-inch crickets and three very worried Spirits didn’t help much, either. At the centre of it all, though was the vain, enigmatic and unpredictable Cat. Whose side is he really on...?

This Someone I Call Stranger

Languages : en
Pages : 80
Book Description
This Someone I Call Stranger, by James Diaz, is absolutely transcendent. Diaz's evocative and courageous writing conjures up cinematic imagery with heartbreaking vulnerability and unpretentious strength. Reading his poetry, I could feel myself leaning in, yearning alongside him for such things as the affirmation of love, beauty, and release in the face of brokenness, loss, and pain. Diaz's poems will make you feel deeply. His poems will make you want to write, even if you're not a writer. His poems will make you look at your world through a new lens, see and feel things through a bigger, perhaps broken, yet wide-open heart. Kym Tuvim In our era of irony, disposability, and impatience, the poems of This Someone I Call Stranger, James Diaz's debut collection, reverberate with rare authenticity and lyrical pain. Threading through a past of blind forests and dark basements, empty cupboards, dirty needles, hospital floors, and bad men who won't die, this book is a necessary example of duende for the twenty-first century. These poems will arrest you. They have hungry souls, and they ache without breaking. They will hang in your brain and settle in your bones, and they will also move you forward, bravely, toward uncertain light. Jessie Janeshek Authentic, unafraid, and unassuming, James Diaz's This Someone I Call Stranger is a personal yet dynamic landscape of the darker parts of the soul, which somehow remains "impossibly alive" no matter how far from home one has strayed. The poems are equal parts vulnerable and strong, a breathing example of how those qualities are inextricable, how there is something about the darkness that cannot put out the light, how there is something about the light that gains its brightness from the shadows. Diaz writes as if no one outside is listening, which is to say, as if these poems are not poems at all but whispered murmurs from one aspect of the self to another, and we the readers just happen to be lucky enough to catch these glimpses of humanity in its most raw essence: determined yet mysterious, messy yet transcendent.
