Cosmic Cauldron — Sat, 26 Jul 2014 05:05:15 +0000

In 1945, Hitler unleashes the Blood Death on Britain as his final act of vengeance. Hoke, an American pilot and one of a tiny minority with a rare blood group unaffected by the deadly disease, has survived among the debris and dead of London for three years. Now, in '48, a slow-dying group of Fascist Blackshirts believe their only hope is a complete blood transfusion from one of Hoke's kind. They literally want his blood. Running for his life, Hoke is rescued by other survivors and they are pursued through London's ravaged streets and historic landmarks, reaching a dramatic, explosive climax at the top of the Tower Bridge.

‘Banjo” Paterson’s High Country: Tim Hall and Trisha Dixon

Cosmic Cauldron — Thu, 07 Mar 2019 04:16:55 +0000

The authors have taken Paterson's beloved ballad and traced the footsteps of The Man From Snowy River through the Snowy Mountains country and the strange, treeless plains of the Monaro. Here is the history of the real men and women in the background of Paterson's legend - half-mad shepherds, ticket-of-leave men, the squatters, the settlers and their inheritors. Plenty of awesome photographs in colour and black and white, together with the little snippets of history that make up the entire colourful tapestry of the pioneers.

‘Salem’s Lot: Stephen King

Cosmic Cauldron — Thu, 22 Mar 2018 01:55:12 +0000

Many years ago, Hubert Marsten - wealthy eccentric of 'Salem's Lot - blasted his wife with a shotgun then hanged himself. For decades, local kids dared and double-dared each other to go into the abandoned house. But now the old Marsten house is coming alive again, in the most awful of ways. Its infection begins to spread through the little town, to manifest in the most unspeakable of ways until practically no-one is human any longer. Ben Mears, writer, and his eleven year old charge Mark, escape the horror, only to have to return and put a stop to it once and for all - if they can.
