Book Description
What's it like to have the legal sanction to shoot and kill? This compelling and often startling book answers this, and many other questions about the oft-times violent world inhabited by our nation's police officers.

Book Description
Secret, strange, dark, impure and dissonant...Enter the haunted landscapes of folk horror, a world of pagan village conspiracies, witch finders, and teenagers awakening to evil; of dark fairy tales, backwoods cults and obsolete technologies. Beginning with the classics Night of the Demon, Witchfinder General, The Wicker Man and Blood on Satan's Claw, We Don't Go Back surveys the genre of screen folk horror from across the world. Travelling from Watership Down to The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, with every stop inbetween, We Don't Go Back is a thoughtful, funny and essential overview of folk horror in TV and cinema."A beautiful rumination on the dark films and television that shaped me and a generation of odd children, for good or ill, worth a year of your time, because you won't just read the book, you'll feel a burning desire to watch everything mentioned within." - Robin Ince"A comprehensive, accessible and often riotously funny tome weaving together folk horror in all its forms, from British television to the American backwoods, from Eastern European fairytales to the vengeful ghosts of East Asia. Ingham explores uncanny landscapes haunted by things buried, old cultures converging with the reluctance of contemporary reason, that very tension that gives his book its name. He attempts to both define folk horror and free it from definition, creating the ultimate guide to the genre's manifestations on film and offering a convincing argument as to why the genre resonates so compellingly with people today." - Kier-La Janisse, author of House of Psychotic Women

Book Description
This is not the same as the dozens of books on the Clinton Death List. I know every one of them say that, but this book looks for truths by investigation of the elements behind the events and how they affected our Country. In this book we will review some of the most important elements like the Inslaw Scandal, the Mena, Arkansas Drug Cartel, the October Surprise, the BCCI money Laundering, the Clipper spy chip and Skipjack, the PROMIS tracking program, Clinton's ADFA Financial Authority and its significance, the connection of the Clintons to ARKLA and that mess. We will also look at Systematics and their part and the Clipper chip decryption to find out why things were done rather than simply making a list.If you think that Democrat side or Republican side have more fault in this cancer, you will begin to see more about reality than before. If you still believe Vince Foster died because of Whitewater, you will find it doesn't begin to explain what happened and Ron Brown's plane crash is reviewed to see if things were on the up and up there as well. With 11 questionable plane crashes in 4 years, one has to wonder. IF you think that George HW Bush had nothing to do with all of this, you will, hopefully, have your eyes opened and begin to see things with more clarity.
