Lorina Skene moves between two worlds, the everyday and the supernatural, and in both she is a killer, at large and beyond suspicion in Victorian London. She is protected by her privilege and her power. But who, or what, is pulling the strings? This is a Gothic nightmare, and a tale of controlling, obsessive love, with plenty of twists, turns and weird happenings along the bumpy ride through fog and gaslight. Expect to be disturbed, and expect a broken heart, when silence falls and realisation dawns.
This volume contains a selection of poems by contemporary poet Gary Bills. The poems included are: Three Poems From the Pews - The Haven, Gregorian Chant, and Easter; Fox Talbot's Photograph; and Amsterdam Street Performer.
Herein lies magic. These delightful fables, sprung from the dreams and the vision of an artist, Heather E Geddes, communing with a poet, the writer Gary Bills, will enchant with tales of earth at the beginning of time, of the wandering dead and the whispering ones, of deserts and moon and much else besides. These stories rich in colour, resonant with ancient archetypes, deep in significance, are tales that linger in the mind long after this book is reluctantly put down. Gabriel Griffin. Director, Poetry on the Lake.

She recruited an investigative reporter to help unearth the truth and exonerate Gary Thibodeau, the man convicted in the 1994 kidnapping and murder of 18-year-old Heidi Allen. Scrapped: Justice and a Teen Informant exposes the underbelly of a system built more for finality than justice. It's...
