In the near future, a desperate and ever-more controlling UK government attempts to restore a sense of national pride with a New Festival of Britain. But construction work on the site of an old church in south London releases a centuries-old plague that turns its victims into flesh-hungry ghouls whose bite or scratch passes the contagion - a supernatural virus which has the power to revive the dead - on to others. 'The Death' soon sweeps across London and the whole country descends into chaos. When a drastic attempt to eradicate the outbreak at source fails, the plague spreads quickly to mainland Europe and then across the rest of the world. Told through a series of interconnected eyewitness narratives - text messages, e-mails, blogs, letters, diaries and transcripts - this is an epic story of a world plunged into chaos as the dead battle the living for total domination.

Back from the dead…and back on the case! Even being murdered doesn't keep a good detective down - and in the Unnatural Quarter - inhabited by ghosts, vampires, werewolves, mummies and all sorts of creatures that go bump (or thud) in the night - a zombie P.I. fits right in. Dan Chambeaux, a.k.a. "Shamble," solves a string of madcap cases with his ghost girlfriend Sheyenne, his Best Human Friend Officer Toby McGoohan, and his firebrand lawyer partner Robin Deyer. Here's seven cases from the files of Chambeaux and Deyer Investigations. Shamble has to solve the mystery of a stolen deck of fortune-telling cards and the undeath-defying feats of a vampire trapeze artist; finds himself sealed in a coffin in the back of a truck with no idea where he's being taken; and is even hired by Santa Claus to find his lost "naughty and nice" list. Being trapped in an unbreakable monster-proof crypt, deciphering a string of mysterious zombie graffiti, investigating the murder of a costumed fan at a science fiction convention where the monsters are the normal attendees or tracking down a kidnapped hell-hound for legendary vigilante werewolf cop Hairy Harry - it's all in a day's work for Dan Shamble, Zombie P.I. Although this book is classified as teen fiction, there's plenty in it for adults prone to fits of silly humour. Cover art by Jeff Herndon. -
An exploration of the bizarre and often political terrain of the fascination for witchcraft throughout recorded history. From the rapacious maenads and horned Gods of classical Greek legend to the modern-day practitioners of Wicca, tales of werewolves and vampires, demons and fairies, fairy godmothers and wicked hags, together with the history of the very real human tragedy of the abominable holocaust of the burning times in Europe, and the heroes who risked torture to speak out against the madness. Merlin, Melusine, Morgan le Fay, the villanous Medea and the heroic Joan of Arc, the hysterical youngsters of Salem and the men and women they accused are among the diverse and infamous characters whose stories are told here. Less well known are the ordinary victims; mainly women - and sometimes men, including Father Gradnier, a priest accused of bewitching a convent - denounced by ignorance and ill-will; and children, as young as four years old. The arts of magic, and the fear of those arts, are timeless and universal and so this exploration covers all continents and many different forms of witchcraft. Lavishly illustrated with classical paintings, medieval woodcuts and photographs in black and white and colour. -
