A Very English Hero
Modest, handsome and a fine poet, eccentric Englishman Frank Thompson made an unlikely soldier. Brother of E. P. Thompson and lover of Iris Murdoch, Frank was an intellectual idealist, a rare combination of brilliant mind and enormous heart. Of his wartime experiences, Frank wrote prodigiously. His letters, diaries and poetry still read fresh and intimate today - and it is from these that Peter J. Conradi brings vividly to life a brilliantly attractive and courageous personality. Aged just twenty-three, Frank was captured, tortured and executed in Bulgaria. A soldier of principle and integrity, he fought a poet's war; a very English hero from a very different era.

My Village
The people who built Newgrange were a special people. With their magnificent works they have left their imprints on the sands of time. Their legacy tells us much about them. They were a highly organised neolithic society. They had advanced engineering skills. They had the courage to undertake massve projects. They were skilled in art and astronomy. They had a multi-dimensional view of the cosmos that illuminated their world. They held powerful beliefs. Part of them no doubt still resides deep within ourselves. We need to know them better. We can learn much from them. Ireland is at a cusp at the moment, as it also was in their time. For inspiration we need to look no further than the mounds of Meath. This book will take you inside the minds of those who built Newgrange and help you share their Neolithic imagination, courage and beliefs.
Nightmare Puzzle
Scraping sounds awake you from your sleep. Something putrid is moving underneath the bed, with razor talons only a thin mattress away from tearing you to shreds. Cringing with disbelief, in a panic you suddenly flee from the bedroom and down the stairs, screaming. In the living room, your corner vision catches a pair of glowing eyes shifting across the large picture window, and when you turn to look they are...still there, only now joined with a drooling maw of fangs. As your heart races to the point of bursting from your chest, you flatten yourself against the wall trying praying to remain unseen until a ghostly, disembodied voice whispers your name from down the hallway. It sounds like a child, but you and your wife have no children. Your wife? Oh, God, where is she? There, in the kitchen she stands, smiling. At last, a piece of sanity from this insane night, and you rush to your loving mate. Behind her back she holds a gleaming butcher knife, waiting to return your embrace. In one swift stoke, her hand arcs down, and you... Turn the page onto the next chapter, nervously anticipating what new horror awaits you this evening.
