The World Grand Master of Horror cordially invites you to an idyllic Scottish retreat with beautiful rooms, luscious gardens, a breathtaking view ...and a basement full of secrets.
The village of Sleath, England, has been invaded by ghosts and the local minister summons David Ash, a psychic investigator, to get rid of them. The probe leads to romance as in the course of the ghost-cleansing Ash falls in love with the minister's daughter.
Three nights of terror at the house called Edbrook. Three nights in which David Ash, there to investigate a haunting, will be the victim of horrifying and maleficent games. Three nights in which he will face the blood-chilling enigma of his own past. Three nights before Edbrook's dreadful secret will be revealed... and the true nightmare will begin. Remember with fear!
David Ash, a skeptical investigator of the supernatural, moves into a mansion where he is asked to explain some haunting experiences.
At the age of eighteen David Ash attended a seminar that would change the direction of his troubled young life forever. His heart and mind were filled with hopes and dreams of a life he could never have imagined before. That day he set his first major goal: he would become a millionaire by the age of thirty. As David tenaciously pursues his goal he is forced to confront his father’s sudden death, his own personal bankruptcy and drug addiction, and his mother’s mental illness, which leads to her homelessness and death as a street person. The story of David’s fight for survival and success is riveting and deeply moving, and his spiritual journey will inspire anyone trying to make sense of a world that makes no sense at all.
'48 by international bestseller and Master of Horror, James Herbert, explores a horrifying alternative end to the Second World War. In 1945, Hitler unleashed the Blood Death on Britain as his final act of vengeance. Those who died at once were the lucky ones. The really unfortunate took years. The survivors – people like me, who had the blood group that kept us safe from the disease – were now targets for those who believed our blood could save them. I survived for three years. I lived alone, spending my days avoiding the fascist Blackshirts who wanted my blood for their dying leader. Then I met the others – and life got complicated all over again . . .
A large village with a long history-Ash was very likely the site of King Ethelbert's historic meeting with St Augustine in AD 596. Originally part of the Archbishops of Canterbury's great manor of Wingham, Ash achieved its 'independence' in 1292. Over the centuries it has seen its share of wars, religious dissension and poor-law problems against a background of prosperous farming with rich grazing on the Ash Level and heavy arable crops. Every aspect of life in the village is explored in this authoritative, gripping and very readable narrative.
Ash is James Herbert’s last and most controversial novel. It will make you wonder what is fact and what is fiction. Fear will let you in. Terror will keep you there. David Ash, ghost hunter and parapsychologist, arrives at Comraich Castle – a desolate, ancient place with a dark heart – to investigate a series of disturbing events. An incorporeal power has been ignited by a long-ago curse, fed and now unleashed by the evil of those who once inhabited this supposed sanctuary – and by some who still do. Yet their hour of retribution is at hand . . . Start the chilling series from the Master of Horror, with Haunted.
How identity politics failed one particular identity. ‘A must read and if you think YOU don’t need to read it, that’s just the clue to know you do’ SARAH SILVERMAN ‘A masterpiece' STEPHEN FRY
This book offers a comprehensive synthesis of over 40 years of research on models in physical education to suggest Models-based Practice (MbP) as an innovative future approach to physical education. It lays out the ideal conditions for MbP to flourish by situating pedagogical models at the core of physical education programs and allowing space for local agency and the co-construction of practice. Starting from the premise that true MbP does not yet exist, the book makes a case for the term "pedagogical model" over alternatives such as curriculum model and instructional model, and explains how learners’ cognitive, social, affective and psychomotor needs should be organised in ways that are ...
