All in the Downs
A memoir from one of Britain's legendary singers, folklorists, and music historians. A legendary singer, folklorist, and music historian, Shirley Collins has been an integral part of the folk-music revival for more than sixty years.

The Tin Soldiers
John Crisp, a man fed up with the daily grind of London life, retires with his wife to the rugged and lonely coast of Cornwall. The house he buys to while away his retirement years was built on the site of an army base used during the Second World War. What he discovers below ground in the shafts of a disused tin mine threatens not only his life, but also the lives of his family.
Dreaming of Death
What starts out as an innocent vacation quickly turns into a mad dash for sanity and life. A mother and daughter go to an Indian resort and casino. Little did they know that the tribe had chosen them as the dream catcher (conduit) and Seer many years before in an attempt to stop the most heinous identical twin criminals like this world has ever experienced. The twins are identical in looks, have above genius IQ's, and complete disregard for human life, but are opposite in every other way. This is a roller coaster ride; graphic murders, love, betrayal, the paranormal, action, and terror from the first page to the startling last page of the book.
Contested Creations in the Book of Job
In Contested Creations in the Book of Job: the-world-as-it-ought- and -ought-not-to-be Abigail Pelham reads the Book of Job both ‘forwards’—examining the perspectives on creation presented by Job and his friends and corrected by God’s authoritative voice from the whirlwind—and ‘backwards,’ demonstrating how the epilogue explodes readers’ certainties, forcing a reappraisal of the characters’ claims. The epilogue, Pelham argues, changes the book from one containing answers about creation to one which poses questions: What does it mean to make the world? Who has the power to create? If humans have creative power, is it divinely sanctioned, or has Job, acting creatively, set himself up as God’s rival? Engaging more thoroughly with Job’s ambiguity than previous scholars have done, Contested Creations explores the possibilities raised by these questions and considers their implications both within the book and beyond.
