Master & Madman
Anthony Lockwoods story is at the heart of the Georgian Navy though the man himself has never taken centre stage in its history. His naval career described by himself as twenty five years incessant peregrination followed a somewhat erratic course but almost exactly spanned the period of the French wars and the War of 1812. Lockwood was commended for bravery in action against the French; was present at the Spithead Mutiny; shipwrecked and imprisoned in France; appointed master attendant of the naval yard at Bridgetown, Barbados, during the year the slave trade was abolished; and served as an hydrographer before beginning his three-year marine survey of Nova Scotia and the Bay of Fundy.

Terror Television
Although horror shows on television are popular in the 1990s thanks to the success of Chris Carter's The X-Files, such has not always been the case. Creators Rod Serling, Dan Curtis, William Castle, Quinn Martin, John Newland, George Romero, Stephen King, David Lynch, Wes Craven, Sam Raimi, Aaron Spelling and others have toiled to bring the horror genre to American living rooms for years. This large-scale reference book documents an entire genre, from the dawn of modern horror television with the watershed Serling anthology, Night Gallery (1970), a show lensed in color and featuring more graphic makeup and violence than ever before seen on the tube, through more than 30 programs, including those of the 1998-1999 season. Complete histories, critical reception, episode guides, cast, crew and guest star information, as well as series reviews are included, along with footnotes, a lengthy bibliography and an in-depth index. From Kolchak: The Night Stalker to Millennium, from The Evil Touch to Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Twin Peaks, Terror Television is a detailed reference guide to three decades of frightening television programs, both memorable and obscure.

Mind Frame
In 1966 in New York City, ten-year-old Nicholas “Chickenneck” Anderson disappears, leaving his aunt and his neighborhood in despair. In the present day, IT specialist Bruce Spencer’s life unravels when he sees glimpses from the past through the eyes of Chickenneck. Wonder and curiosity—as well as isolation and despair—fill him every time he gets thrust into the past, experiencing the boy’s emotions. Terrified of what is happening to him during these episodes that he calls block-outs, Bruce’s sanity dangles on a precipice. He realizes that seeking justice may be the answer to stopping the block-outs, but his dread of being institutionalized is always with him. He struggles to hide what is occurring from everyone he knows. As two decades collide, Bruce gathers answers with clues from the past, uncovering a horrific crime and discovering what connects him to Chickenneck. Unbeknownst to him, someone is watching. Will searching for a killer place him and his loved ones in danger? Will finding justice destroy Bruce Spencer?
