Book Description
SINISTER OMENS: 560+ Supernatural Thrillers, Macabre Tales & Eerie Mysteries stands as a monumental anthology that weaves together the intricate threads of horror, the paranormal, and the uncanny from the pens of some of literature's most celebrated authors. The collection showcases an unparalleled diversity in storytelling, ranging from Gothic classics to psychological thrillers, each piece a mosaic tile in the vast and shadowy tapestry of the genre. This anthology not only highlights key works from renowned figures but also serves to contextualize the evolution of supernatural and macabre themes across different literary periods, making it an essential compendium for both aficionados and scholars of the eerie and the unsettling. The contributing authors, a veritable who's who of literary titans and dark fiction connoisseurs, bring a rich tableau of cultural and historical backgrounds to the anthology, enveloping readers in a panorama of horror that spans continents and centuries. From the psychological depths explored by Henry James to the cosmic horrors of H.P. Lovecraft, and the societal critiques embedded in Mary Shelley's works, these authors collectively contribute to the anthology's thematic core. Their stories, while diverse in setting and approach, all orbit around the central nexus of fear, mystery, and the supernatural, demonstrating the universal and timeless nature of these themes. SINISTER OMENS offers readers a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in a compendium that spans the spectrum of horror and mystery. It is a treasure trove for those wishing to delve deeper into the labyrinthine corridors of the supernatural genre, offering a kaleidoscopic view of its evolution and the myriad ways in which fear can be invoked. This anthology is not merely a collection of stories; it is an educational journey, a testament to the enduring power of the macabre to fascinate and terrify, and an invitation to explore the depths of our collective psyche through the lens of literature's most unnerving tales.

Book Description
Juvenile crime makes headlines. It is the stock-in-trade of politicians and pundits. But young people are also the victims of crime. They too have demands to make of the police. Drawing upon survey and interview research with 11 to 15 year-olds in Edinburgh, this book examines how crime impacts upon young people’s everyday lives. It reveals that young people experience far more serious problems as victims and witnesses of crime, than they cause as offenders. It shows that they report little of their experiences of crime to the police, and are left to find their own ways of managing risk, such as telling cautionary tales about dangerous people and places. The study concludes by examining young people's relations with the police, suggesting they are over-controlled as suspects and under-protected as victims.
