Broken Circle
An ancient legend reborn. A killer recreating dark rituals. And a detective racing to break the circle before it’s complete. When the body of a teenage girl is found posed in the Merry Maidens stone circle, her face coated in clay and ochre, DS Liam Kilshaw is drawn into a case where near-forgotten fictions bleed into brutal fact. With echoes of an old folktale of dancers turned to stone, the scene is more about staging than superstition. And when two skeletons are unearthed beneath a nearby stone, Kilshaw realises the past is far from dead and buried. As he hunts for a missing farmhand linked to the girl, more victims surface, each placed with ritual precision in remote ancient sites. With the noose tightening, Kilshaw must decipher centuries-old secrets to break the circle. Because in this deadly game of ancient rites and cold-blooded murder, the killer is saving the most important sacrifice for last. A haunting crime thriller where medieval legends collide with modern murder, perfect for fans of LJ Ross and Peter James.
The Cheese and the Worms
The fiftieth-anniversary edition of the classic tale of a sixteenth-century miller facing the Roman Inquisition. The Cheese and the Worms is an incisive study of popular culture in the sixteenth century as seen through the eyes of one man, the miller known as Menocchio, who was accused of heresy during the Inquisition and sentenced to death. In the fiftieth anniversary edition of this now-classic book, Carlo Ginzburg uses the trial records to illustrate the religious and social conflicts of the society Menocchio lived in. For a common miller, Menocchio was surprisingly literate. In his trial testimony, he made references to more than a dozen books, including the Bible, Boccaccio's Decameron, Mandeville's Travels, and a "mysterious" book that may have been the Koran. And what he read he recast in terms familiar to him, as in his own version of the creation: "All was chaos, that is earth, air, water, and fire were mixed together; and of that bulk a mass formed—just as cheese is made out of milk—and worms appeared in it, and these were the angels."Ginzburg's massively influential book has been widely regarded as an early example of the analytic, case-oriented approach known as microhistory. In the preface, Ginzburg offers his own corollary to Menocchio's story as he considers the discrepancy between the intentions of the writer and what gets written. The Italian miller's story and Ginzburg's work continue to resonate with modern readers because they focus on how oral and written culture are inextricably linked. Menocchio's 500-year-old challenge to authority remains evocative and vital today.

The Strange Death of Christian England, and Its Glorious Resurrection
In 2019 Melvyn Bragg, in a Sunday Times interview with Bryan Appleyard, described being at a family christening when the priest asked everyone to join in the Lord’s Prayer. Bragg realised he was the only one who knew the words. “We have lost it Bryan, in two generations“ said Bragg, “not just the faith but the narratives that go with it” As the son of a clergyman who grew up in rural north Suffolk in the 1950s Andrew Hayward realised that Bragg spoke the truth. Indeed, the church attendance figures prove it. This book is not just about the loss of faith but what then happened to society in its absence. How it affected education, culture and indeed life itself. The age of deference was dead. The author took four years to write this book and happily, as a Christian, post covid has seen numerous signs of revival. Long may that continue.
Dragon Man - An Actor's Transformation
When universal patterns and personal journeys intertwine, they reveal the profound connection between mind and world, inviting us to discover the powerful, transformative meaning at the heart of our experiences. This engaging book delves into the invisible forces that subtly shape our actions, thoughts, and feelings. Drawing from his life as a half-Japanese, Canadian actor and poet in Tokyo, West weaves his personal narrative with the mythic story of Susanoo, the storm god, and his battle against the multi-headed dragon, Yamata no Orochi. This exploration blends lessons from acting and Japanese aesthetics with insights into creativity, mindfulness, and the quest for meaning, forming a poignant collage of redemption and self-discovery. As West examines archetypes - the templates of Universal Mind - he illustrates how these patterns exist like a stencil awaiting color. They come to life when imbued with significance through our beliefs and choices. His journey serves as a testament to resilience, as the book embodies the healing that allows him to rekindle his dreams. Through this fusion of memoir and spiritual guidance, readers are inspired to reflect on their own lives and recognize the signs and patterns that lead to a personal awakening of their destiny. Ultimately, this poetic work urges us to acknowledge that real meaning can be found anytime, anywhere, so long as we dare to see the beauty within ourselves and in the world around us. I? in the delicate balance of pattern and possibility that we uncover our true selves and the stories worth believing in.
An Accident of Dragons: Deluxe Stenciled Edges
An unlikely lord finally meets a problem he can't flirt his way out of in this adventurous and slyly light-hearted queer cozy fantasy featuring pirates, dragons, kidnapping, tea, and other high-fantasy delights for readers of Rebecca Thorne, TJ Klune, Sarah Beth Durst, and Travis Baldree.
Deluxe Limited Edition Paperback with Stenciled Edges!
In theory, the dragoness of Summer can make any resident on her island the ruler, if the previous Lord Summer is so careless as to die without an heir. In practice, absolutely no one expected her to choose Teddy, the last lord's middle-aged fancy man. With his quick wit, heaps of charisma, and excellent dress sense, Teddy brings plenty of virtues to his new role, but statecraft, pedigree, and decorum are not among them. That's all right: he's done his duty to the island, and his five-year-old daughter, Zinnia, will make a brilliant Lady Summer when her time comes.
Except when a ship of desperate mainlander thieves arrives, Zinnia's caught in the fracas and taken hostage. Teddy jumps into the rescue mission without delay, even though his days of adventures on the mainland are long buried with his lover. But his sailors have never seen their destination, and worse, the hard-liner admiral who leads them thinks Teddy's a worthless dandy. Against a conniving robber baron, a sorceress who's tamed her own dragon, and ordinary people with everything to lose, the crew faces terrible odds. But with all he loves in danger, Teddy must prove there's more to him than he'd ever intended to show.

THE CAT'S OUT OF THE BAG
Knowing that his beautiful master, Qingtong, is actually the spirit cat he pampered in his previous life, Mo Tianliao wants to get back to doting on his precious kitty! Oh, to be brushing his lovely hair, feeding him delicious treats, spoiling him all over again, and maybe even...a kiss or two? No? Claws to the face instead? Well, that's fine. After all, the most essential thing is healing the damage to Qingtong's divine soul, and that won't be as simple as providing tender loving care.
To help his master, Mo Tianliao needs an elixir made from the rare Jadefruit, which only grows on a single tree. A tree that just so happens to be the property of a rival cultivation sect, one that views spirit beasts like Qingtong as valuable commodities to be bought and sold.
With his unmatched mastery of artifacts and arrays, Mo Tianliao may be able to steal the priceless fruit with his skills alone. But, as they infiltrate the Liuyun Sect, he and Qingtong risk revealing their own sect's greatest secret: that all its highest-ranked cultivators are actually spirit beasts in human form!

Manchester must dance
From Manchester’s backstreets to global dancefloors – the untold story of a musical pioneer. Beginning on the night in November 1963 when his mum took him to see the Beatles live at Manchester’s ABC Cinema, Mike Pickering takes the reader through sixty years of clubs, clothes, gigs, record labels, football matches and politics. Pickering has lived through decades of rapid change in popular music. As an influential DJ he introduced house music into the legendary Haçienda. He signed Happy Mondays and James to Factory Records before working with Kasabian, Gossip and Calvin Harris at Sony. His Mercury Prize-winning, multi-million-selling group M People transformed the music industry's attitude to dance music. As he tells his remarkable story he introduces an array of friends and collaborators, many of whom would become important – and sometimes notorious – figures in music history.

It features forewords from some of those Pickering inspired: Martin Fry, Johnny Marr, Noel Gallagher and Calvin Harris. -- .
