Outsiders
Curated collection of the best previously published articles from the former Labor Leader Mark Latham. Articles about political correctness; feminism; Big Brother; Donald Trump; Brexit; the biggest problem with Islam; rise of the Outsiders; gender fluidity; a divided nation, and many more. Mark Latham is the original Outsider, a politician who rose to the very top of his profession but refused to be cowed by political correctness and refused to bend his knee to the leftist fads of the day. Outsiders is a thoughtfully curated collection of Mark's previously-published articles and thoughts on topics ranging from political correctness to Islam, Donald Trump and Brexit. Not only a superb raconteur, Mark writes as he speaks -- with honesty, extraordinary insights and above all a razor sharp wit and deep love for Australian larrikinism. If you can't get enough of having your virtue signalled, of having your politics determined by your identity, of saying the appropriate things to show how compassionate and caring you are, of being trigger warned about being offended by unsafe words and ideas, then avoid this book like a dose of the bubonic plague.

The Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow
The legend of Sleepy Hollow is one of the great tales of American folklore, supposedly stemming from Washington Irving's famous short story. But what if there was more to the ghostly fable than meets the eye? What if Irving's account was based on fact? And what if the Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow was not unique, but merely one of a strange line of malevolent spirits sighted across the world, bringing misfortune to all that witness them? Within this book you will find long-forgotten lore about the headless spirits that have plagued mankind for centuries, and perhaps even now seek ingress into our world. The Headless Horseman, and others like him, is at large in the dark places of the world, and should one encounter such a revenant, it is said that tragedy will surely follow...
