Bless Me Father
A searingly honest memoir from Dexys’ iconic frontman, one of the great mavericks and creative geniuses of British music. At home, the prayerful eight-year-old altar boy was planning to attend college to train to be a priest. Elsewhere, he was thieving, lying, swearing, fighting and rarely out of trouble. In this astonishing memoir, Kevin takes us from the juvenile courts of his troubled teenage years to the early days of the New Romantic scene in the late ’70s. An unwavering passion for music and highly tuned sense of fashion and style ignited an unstoppable drive within him, compelling him down a path that led to his huge chart successes with Dexys Midnight Runners in the early 1980s. However, despite being celebrated as a creative genius, inner turmoil was never far away, and a terrifying series of self-sabotaging events were to follow – including a serious cocaine addiction – leaving him in the wilderness in the 1990s, bankrupt, living in a bedsit, on the dole. Always resilient in the face of adversity, after a massive upheaval Kevin found his way back. He charts his return journey, from shocking audiences with his pioneering embrace of gender fluidity with My Beauty, right through to Dexys’ triumphant appearance at Glastonbury in 2024. Vividly detailed, and with a truly rare degree of self-insight, this is Kevin's own, deeply personal account of an extraordinary life, raw and unvarnished. A remarkable memoir, as compelling and original as you would expect from one of the pioneering icons of music history.
Where The Shadows End
Sam, a 45-year-old Londoner of dual heritage, has lived his life accompanied by voices no one else can hear. Chief among them is the taunting echo of a childhood bully who refuses to let Sam forget the guilt he carries over his mother’s death. When his elusive, dream-like girlfriend, known only as Boat Woman, disappears without warning, Sam’s fragile world begins to unravel, and he becomes convinced that only his death can protect those he loves. As the past and present collide in Sam’s fractured mind, he is drawn into a labyrinth of memory and revelation that challenges everything he thought he knew. But the voices that haunt him may yet become his guides, if he can only find the courage to listen. Luminous, unsettling and tender, Where the Shadows End is a powerful meditation on self-acceptance, the nature of guilt and the need to belong.

Demagogues and Despots
Democracy and despotism live closer together than you’d expect—this briskly astute book reveals why that should alarm us all. We live in troubled times, marked by a sinister trend threatening democracy everywhere: the triumph of despotism not only in countries like Russia, Iran and Saudi Arabia, but also in states run by popularly elected demagogues—Trump, Erdogan and Netanyahu. Leading political thinker John Keane shows why this new despotism defies the laws of political gravity. Instead of relying exclusively on fear or force, it fosters a strange, pseudo-democratic type of government, led by rulers skilled in winning public loyalty through election-rigging, legal trickery, corruption, weaponised lying and talk of enemies. And alarmingly, the new despots hunt in packs. But what’s so good about democracy? In bold, energetic prose, Keane explains that it’s much more than popular self-government based on free and fair elections. Democracy is the collective insistence that unaccountable power is always dangerous—and that democratic institutions are our best weapon against demagogues and despots.

Dark Night
The profound, hugely influential exploration of spiritual growth and transformation, from one of the great Spanish mystics and poets
'Oh living flame of love,
how tenderly you scorch me'
The poetry of the sixteenth-century Spanish mystic, St John of the Cross, has inspired and consoled for hundreds of years, influencing writers from James Joyce to Seamus Heaney, Geoffrey Hill to T. S. Eliot. This new edition of his essential works, in a sensitive and luminous translation by Martha Sprackland, gathers John of the Cross's complete poems and a selection of his prose, including from his extended commentary on the poem 'Dark Night'. In his immediate, sensual writing, we see a soul searching for meaning and union with the divine: both meek and bold, deserving and undeserving, oscillating between light and dark, soaring and falling, desperation and salvation. Dark Night gives us a picture of faith at once confronting and inspiriting, and of the power of words as a means of spiritual transcendence.
Translated by Martha Sprackland, with an Introduction by Colin Thompson
Mega Builds
Construction is the most important industry in the world. The homes we wake up in, the schools where our children learn, the transportation networks we depend on, and the hospitals that care for us all exist because they were designed and built.
In Mega Builds, YouTube creator Fred Mills takes readers inside ten extraordinary megaprojects that are reshaping the modern world. Offering a front-row seat to some of the most ambitious engineering feats ever attempted, Mills delivers a fact-filled global tour that reveals how these vast undertakings are redefining what is possible.
Inside, you will discover:
Why the world’s largest city has been built in one of the most inhospitable locations on Earth.
How the vision of a single ruler in the desert is challenging our assumptions about the limits of design and construction.
What compels us to build ever-taller skyscrapers and ever-faster trains.
And how the scale of human imagination today is shaping the cities and infrastructure of tomorrow.
The story of our civilization is being written not only in books, but in steel, concrete, glass, and earth. Mega Builds reveals how the structures rising around us are defining the future of the man-made world.
