Christopher and His Magic Powers
Christopher is 13 and often too smart for his own good. He hates school and can’t seem to stay out of trouble. On a dare he knocks on a door to a house all his friends say is haunted and meets a strange, quiet man who calls himself the Headmaster. The Headmaster starts Christopher on a series of lessons unlike anything he was taught in school. He learns how to move objects with his mind alone, how to read other people’s thoughts, he becomes invisible or shrinks to the size of a pencil. It’s not just for fun. The Headmaster has a mission for Christopher that will change his life forever.
Tenebrous Tales
"Tenebrous Tales" is the debut short story collection by Christopher Richard Barker. It first appeared in 2010 when it was published by the highly collectible Ex Occidente Press. Although the stories contain strong elements of supernatural horror & psychological trauma they are predominantly works of contemporary fiction. One of the stories, 'The Melancholy Haunting Of Nicholas Parkes', fictionalises the life and death of the cult musician, Nick Drake. Four of the stories were given 'Honourable Mentions' by Ellen Datlow in her annual review of the 2010's best horror fiction. 'The Melancholy Haunting Of Nicholas Parkes' was further nominated for a British Fantasy Award but the author asked that it be withdrawn from the short-list. Elsewhere Christopher Barker published and edited the first two short-story collections by Reggie Oliver under his Haunted River imprint. He has numerous writing credits to his name and as 'Elegant Horrors' is something of an expert on vintage supernatural horror from the 1850-1940 period. He also writes under the name 'Jane Fox' and 'Jonathan Harker'.
Richard II
Richard II (1377-99) has long suffered from an unusually unmanly reputation. Over the centuries, he has been habitually associated with lavish courtly expenditure, absolutist ideas, Francophile tendencies, and a love of peace, all of which have been linked to the king's physical effeminacy. Even sympathetic accounts have essentially retained this picture, merely dismissing particular facets of it, or representing Richard's reputation as evidence of praiseworthy dissent from accepted norms of masculinity. Christopher Fletcher takes a radically different approach, setting the politics of Richard II's reign firmly in the context of late medieval assumptions about the nature of manhood and youth...
Seeds of Hope
"Seeds of Hope" is a companion piece to my original garden book of poems entitled: A Single Rose Can be My Garden. In this book I elaborate the central themes of twelve selected poems into complete essays on those self-same themes: food, books, rock music, babies, freelance writing, travel, nature, the sea, the alps, home, love and friendship, little things. What is good about this book? If you liked the above poems in my garden book, you'll love hearing more about them in this short series of essays. They have a lot to do with the theme of one's outlook on life during this god awful pandemic. These essays do not preach any philosophy of life to get us through this, but they distract us a little by reminding us of all the good/ better/ best things we DO have going for us on this continent of north america. Where we left off before/one soon fine day we will be able to pick up again! That's one reason you may enjoy reading Seeds of Hope!
European Writers in Exile
European Writers in Exile collects a series of original essays that address the writers’ universal existential dilemma, when viewed through the lens of exile: who am I, where am I from, and what do I write, and to whom? While we often understand the term “exile” to refer to writers who have either been forced to leave their home country or region or chosen self-exile, this term need not be defined so narrowly, and the contributors to this volume explore a range of interesting and evolving definitions. Various countries in Europe have long been both a refuge for people and writers from many countries and a strife-torn region which has forced many to flee within the continent or beyond i...

A Companion to Richard FitzRalph
This book presents an overview together with a detailed examination of the life and ideas of a major thinker and protagonist of the first half of the fourteenth century, Richard FitzRalph (1300-60, Armachanus). A central figure in debates at Oxford, Avignon and Ireland, FitzRalph is perhaps best-known for his central role in the poverty controversies of the 1350s. Each of the chapters collected here sheds a different perspective on the many aspects of FitzRalph’s life and works, from his time at the University of Oxford, his role as preacher and pastoral concerns, his contacts with the Eastern Churches, and finally his case at the Papal court against the privileges granted to the Franciscans. His influence and later reputation is also examined. Contributors include: Michael W. Dunne, Jean-François Genest†, Michael Haren, Elżbieta Jung, Severin V. Kitanov, Stephen Lahey, Monika Michałowska, Simon Nolan O.Carm, Bridget Riley, Chris Schabel, and John T. Slotemaker
Richard Hollis Designs for the Whitechapel
Richard Hollis was the graphic designer for London's Whitechapel Art Gallery in the years 1969-73 and 1978-85. In this second period, under the directorship of Nicholas Serota, the gallery came to the forefront of the London art scene, with pioneering exhibitions of work by Georg Baselitz, Anselm Kiefer, Joseph Cornell, Philip Guston, Frida Kahlo and Tina Modotti, among others. Hollis's posters, catalogues, and leaflets, conveyed this sense of discovery, as well as being models of practical graphic design. The pressures of time and a small budget enhanced the urgency and richness of their effects. Christopher Wilson's monograph is an exemplary examination of a body of graphic design. This book matches the spirit of the work it describes: active, passionate, aesthetically refined, and committed to getting things right. As in Hollis's work, "design" here is a verb as much as a noun.
