Book Description
What happens when someone comes along that changes your life in profound ways? What happens when you find a love and connection that you only thought existed in fairy tales? What happens when that love overflows and pours out onto a page? The Cold, Dark Sea is a collection of poems, written over the period of a year, that tells a story of true love, loneliness, and hope for the future. It contains my heart and all of its hopes and fears... From the back cover: Life is like a table covered with scattered puzzle pieces. As we move through time, we try to complete our puzzle, finding pieces from many different places. Sometimes, we force pieces together that don't fit in an effort to get our puzzle together, because that is what the world expects. But what happens later when we find the pieces that are meant to fit with our own? Do we throw them away or hide them, ashamed that we forced pieces together before? If we stick with the mismatched pieces, we will still have a completed picture in the end, but a picture of what? If we forced pieces together, the picture won't make any sense, and we'll be disappointed in the end. What if we were to take out the forced pieces when we find the ones that fit properly? It would be hard, and it may even seem like moving backwards or starting over. But in the end, if we use the pieces that belong together, the picture, and our lives, will be beautiful. They will be a vision of perfection, because the pieces fit, and life will be as it should have been from the start: complete. What you will find within is a collection of poems that tell the story of my heart, after I found my missing puzzle piece...

Book Description
'Reading Robert Aickman is like watching a magician work, and very often I'm not even sure what the trick was. All I know is that he did it beautifully.' Neil Gaiman For fans of the BBC's Inside Number 9 and The League of Gentlemen Aickman's 'strange stories' (his preferred term) are constructed immaculately, the neuroses of his characters painted in subtle shades. He builds dread by the steady accrual of realistic detail, until the reader realises that the protagonist is heading towards their doom as if in a dream. First published in 1988, The Wine-Dark Sea contains eight stories that build towards disturbing yet enigmatic endings, including the classic story 'Your Tiny Hand is Frozen.' 'Of all the authors of uncanny tales, Aickman is the best ever . . . His tales literally haunt me; his plots and his turns of phrase run through my head at the most unlikely moments.' Russell Kirk

Book Description
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • The bestselling author of How the Irish Saved Civilization takes us on a journey through the landmarks of art and bloodshed that defined Greek culture nearly three millennia ago. “A triumph of popularization: extraordinarily knowledgeable, informal in tone, amusing, wide ranging, smartly paced.” —The New York Times Book Review In the city-states of Athens and Sparta and throughout the Greek islands, honors could be won in making love and war, and lives were rife with contradictions. By developing the alphabet, the Greeks empowered the reader, demystified experience, and opened the way for civil discussion and experimentation—yet they kept slaves. The glorious verses of the Iliad recount a conflict in which rage and outrage spur men to action and suggest that their “bellicose society of gleaming metals and rattling weapons” is not so very distant from more recent campaigns of “shock and awe.” And, centuries before Zorba, Greece was a land where music, dance, and freely flowing wine were essential to the high life. Granting equal time to the sacred and the profane, Cahill rivets our attention to the legacies of an ancient and enduring worldview.
