A History of Horror, Fear, and the Uncanny
Take a step - if you dare - into the shadows, and discover the blood-curdling history of horror across the world in this gruesomely illustrated title.
A History of Horror, Fear and the Uncanny explores the dark and eerie landscapes of horror down the centuries - from prehistoric death rituals to modern interpretations in art, literature, and film.
In this petrifying book, you will find:
A complete global history of the subject - from ancient visions of the Underworld and horror in fairytales to Gothic horror and "creepypasta" tales
More than 350 stunning full-colour images combined with engaging and accessible text
Profiles of infamous supernatural creatures - from ghosts and demons to banshees and changelings, and from Grendel to Baba Yaga and the Morrigan to the Golem
Profiles of the scariest books and films of all time - from novels by Edgar Allan Poe, Bram Stoker, and Stephen King to movies like The Exorcist, The Shining, and Alien
…in a stunning, giftable package with a specially commissioned cover artwork and gorily printed page edges.
Discover how our experience and understanding of fear and terror have evolved through the ages, beginning with the ancient visions of a hellish Underworld. Encounter terrifying figures like Medusa and the Babylonian demon Pazuzu. And tread carefully through the medieval world, where a fear of the unknown stoked apocalyptic terror around the Black Death and gave rise to the danse macabre and the demonology of the Malleus Maleficarum.
Delve into the folklore that gave birth to creatures of the night - from vampires and werewolves to the Japanese Kappa water demon and the cannibalistic Wendigo of Indigenous American lore. Witness the emergence of Gothic literature, with the terrifying and genre-defining works of authors like Mary Shelley, H. P. Lovecraft, and M. R. James. And learn how the 20th century saw a new wave of terror unleashed through Expressionist art, monsters in the movies, "body horror" films, and the "folk horror" revival.
Whether you are a dedicated horror aficionado or simply curious, A History of Horror, Fear and the Uncanny isn't just for Halloween… It is a thrilling - chilling - journey into the heart of darkness.

The Geography Book

Part of DK's indispensable Big Ideas series, The Geography Book answers these questions and many more.
The perfect introduction to the subject, it explores and explains the key geophysical and atmospheric processes that have shaped Earth's geology, climate, and ecosystems, and the numerous ways in which they have shaped our lives, and we have shaped them in return - for better or worse. Combining easy-to-follow explanations, innovative graphics, and intriguing quotes, it covers everything from geological mapping and the water cycle to climate change and population demographics.
This fascinating book includes:
• More than 90 of the most important ideas, theories, and milestones in the field of geography - covering physical geography, human geography, environmental geography, and practical geography
• Simple explanations, bold infographics and step-by-step diagrams that untangle knotty concepts, and witty illustrations
• Key quotes from major figures in field - from Ptolemy to Alexander von Humboldt and Carl Ritter
The Child-Healthy Divorce
A good divorce is better than a bad marriage, but for children that doesn’t make the split any easier. Legal decisions have emotional consequences. Well-meaning parents can become hostile, insecure, or jealous, and well-adjusted kids can grieve the loss of the family unit, rage at the pain that they feel, or prey on parental guilt.
In The Child-Healthy Divorce, acclaimed psychoanalyst and award-winning author Erica Komisar marshals more than 30 years of clinical experience and extensive research to show readers how to make an effective plan that centres children’s needs, including how to talk about what’s happening, how to maintain normal routines, and what to know about kids of different ages. For example, interrupting a child’s attachment with the primary caregiver before age three can lead to behavioural problems later in life. Teens going to college also need a stable home as a foundation to establish their own independence.
With numerous case studies and practical strategies, the book shows parents how to create age-appropriate custody arrangements, reassure kids without invalidating their feelings, and build a positive support system. It also provides helpful guidance about new partners, blended families, and other special situations. Most importantly, it offers hope.
No one with kids wants a divorce, but if that step becomes necessary, this book can help readers establish the emotional security that their children need for success in life.
