Down an English Lane
We can ask little more of an landscape painter than to provide in paint not only what we have seen with our own eyes, but to capture the very essence of a scene ¿ to feel when we gaze upon a painting the warming sun on our face and to hear the sigh of the wind distant in the trees. In Down an English Lane, Richard Thorn has chosen that most iconic feature of our rural landscape to remind us how delightful and inspiring even the most familiar scenery can be. Whilst the majority of paintings included here represent settings from his native Westcountry, the imagery will be familiar to all of us who share the artist¿s enjoyment of wandering down our country lanes. Here history and nature are e...

Amelia Thorn
The first photograph Amelia Thorn ever took was of her father on the beach in the 1930s as he stared wistfully out to sea. The last, some seven decades later, is of a familiar old woman teetering on the edge of life. Between those two clicks of the aperture Amelia experiences a lifetime of hardship, adventure, and growth, and rides a wave of chaos from Mourning, Mississippi, into all the pain and beauty the world has to offer. Through her lens, Amelia brings into sharp focus three generations, and her own life, as it starts and stops again and again. First as a child in a small, stifling town in the Southern delta. Then as a new bride away from home and family for the first time. Later in hiding, abused, a baby lost and husband killed in war. And, finally, as something new for her and for the era -- a woman traveling the world under her own terms, without regret, and with a strength she never knew she had.

The Lure of the Dark Side
Demons, devils, spirits and vampires are present throughout popular Western culture in film, music and literature. Their religious significance has only recently begun to be explored. 'The Lure of the Darkside' brings together the work of some of the most important and creative scholars in the field of Biblical and Religious Studies. The essays explore demonology in popular culture from a range of perspectives: Satanism within contemporary music; the relationship between hymn and horror film; the career of Hannibal Lecter; the portrayal of Satan in films about Christ; and spiritual perversion in the Harry Potter Stories. This fresh and ground-breaking volume will be of interest to students of religious studies and theology, as well as literary and popular culture.
