Very Good in Dustjacket. 0393023206. 252 pages. hardcover. keywords: Europe Greece Translated Women World Literature. DESCRIPTION - Set amid the arid landscape and stony resentments of Greece in the aftermath of its bloody civil war, this electrifying novel unfolds a series of interconnecting modern-day fables about childhood and family, love and betrayal. God's Snake is the story of the inventive, courageous Anna, a young girl who has inherited both the skepticism of classical Athens and the fierce stoicism of Sparta. It is also the story of Anna's parents: her mother, a woman as remote as she is seductive, and her father, a misogynist army officer who, when Anna cries, tells her, 'We are not born to be comforted.' As Anna picks her way through this emotional minefield, she encounters people and animals that possess the revelatory powers of figures in a dream: the snakes her father's adjutant kills as emmissaries of the Devil; a poetry loving general; a haunted girl whose mother dies of tuberculosis; a frozen crow that miraculously comes back to life. God's Snake is a work filled with passion, magic, and terror, conceived by a novelist of visionary authority. inventory #3720.

More common than the legendary noble princes or benevolent princesses are powerful witches and warlocks. They are the servants and agents of the devil with whom the lowland Scots are more than a little familiar as is shown in the variety of nicknames given him: Auld Hornie, Auld Cloutie (cloven~hoof), Auld Nick, and in the half~jesting curse: Deit tak yeo. Whether to address the Prince of Darkness in terms of fear and awe or disrespect and mockery is never resolved. This book introduces and retells thirty~one tales which were first collected by nineteenth~century folklorists such as Walter Scott, James Hogg and William Henderson. Marion Lochhead argues that the 'black' influences became even Stronger after the Reformation when the banishment of Our Lady Queen of Heaven left the way clear for the Queen of Elfdom, who is neither of heaven nor hell. This is seen in 'The Witches of Traquair', set at the time of the transition from the old faith to the new, where Our Lady appears as rescuer. This wide~ranging and thought provoking collection takes the reader into a world of magic characteristic of the Borders and very different from that of the Celtic regions.

Fine in fine dust jacket, not price clipped, in protective mylar cover. A music related tale about the legendary bluesman Robert Johnson, who allegedly sold his soul to the devil in 1931, was murdered in 1938, but suddenly appears in 1992 on the Spokane Indian Reservation. . "The characters of Alexie's acclaimed short fiction (The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven)-Thomas Builds-the-Fire, Victor, Junior, the habitues of the Spokane Indian reservation-return in this superb first novel, a lyric comic tale with magical realist overtones. A stranger arrives on the reservation carrying a magic guitar, which he's been given as part of his bargain with "the Gentleman" for blues immortality. Now he's trying to lose guitar, devil and deal. Taking the instrument off his hands, Thomas soon forms an all-Indian R&B band with Victor and Junior. The group, Coyote Springs, plays small clubs and bars and eventually goes on tour. They even attract their own groupies-white women Betty and Veronica and Indian sisters Chess and Checkers Warm Water. Will they succeed and, if they do, will they lose their souls? Alexie, a Spokane/Coeur D'Alene Indian, excels at creating colorful characters, and he fills his narrative with subtle and affectionate homages to other contemporary Native American writers (Jim Northrup, Thomas King et al.). Hilarious but poignant, filled with enchantments yet dead-on accurate with regard to modern Indian life, this tour de force will leave readers wondering if Alexie himself hasn't made a deal with the Gentleman in order to do everything so well." -- Publishers Weekly.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. Jacket design by Ervin Serrano (illustrator). 1st Edition. The 43rd and 44th of Robb's "In Death" adventures of homicide detective Eve Dallas, who polices a 2060 New York City where guns have been banned. (It's never made clear what happened to the Second Amendment, but it's a wish-fulfillment fantasy that Robb's readers seem to enjoy sharing, along with the notion that our heroine can enjoy living in a magic castle in Central Park with her fantastically handsome Irish capitalist billionaire husband (so capitalism also survives in New York? Hey, fantasy) -- a gazillion-room castle apparently staffed (shopping, cooking, laundry, groundskeeping, maintaining the heated indoor pool and a garage/museum full of cars and helicopters, not to mention Eve's flying police car) by only one aging Man Friday.

Small octavo, pictorial wrappers. First edition. Baen Books 69819-2. The forces of good and evil square off in Hoadley, Pennsylvania, an impoverished repressive coal town hit hard by the failure of heavy industry. "APOCALYPSE is Springer's most exciting work to date (as of 1991). It vibrates with powerful imagery, contrasts, and the sophisticated use of cultural idiom. The setting is a grim, economically depressed mining town juxtaposed against pagan natural beauty, seductive magic, and the horrific supernatural . The reworking of a myth through the lens of popular culture, APOCALYPSE presents the classic struggle between good and evil with much of the focus on the gray areas, not merely the black and white." - Catherine M. Currier, Watson and Schellinger (editors), Twentieth-Century Science-Fiction Writers, third edition, p. 758. A fine copy. (#139741).

Literally as new.; 143 pages; Description: 143 p. Subject: Witchcraft --Witches and warlocks --Magic --Superstition. Summary: Witchcraft has been undergoing a huge popular revival, but does modern pagan witchcraft really bear any resemblance to its historical antecedents? This guide explores the historical background to the European witchcraft phenomenon. For both Medieval and Reformation scholars alike the Devil and all his works were a very real threat. Their conviction that witches were the servants of Satan led to the formation of perhaps one of the greatest conspiracy theories of all time: a belief that witches were working in league with the Devil in a diabolical plot against all Christendom. Witches were transformed from poor deluded old women who rode out at night with the pagan goddess Diana into devil-worshipping heretics who became the focus of a centuries-long, Europe-wide campaign determined to seek out and destroy this evil wherever it was to be found, regardless of whether any of its victims were actually guilty or not. 1 Kg.

Paperback. Condition: very good. xii, 499 pages: illustrations; 23 cm. "From black magic and Satanism to Gnostic sects and Gurdjieff's Fourth Way, the left-hand path has been linked to many practices, cults, and individuals across the ages. Stephen Flowers, Ph. D., examines the methods, teachings, and historical role of the left-hand path, from its origins in Indian tantric philosophy to its underlying influence in current world affairs, and reveals which philosophers, magicians, and occult figures throughout history can truly be called "Lords of the Left-Hand Path." Flowers explains that while the right-hand path seeks union with and thus dependence on God, the left-hand path seeks a "higher law" based on knowledge and power. It is the way of self-empowerment and true freedom. Beginning with ancient Hindu and Buddhist sects and moving Westward, he examines many alleged left-hand path groups, including the Cult of Set, the Yezidi Devil Worshippers, the Assassins, the Neoplatonists, the Hell-Fire Club, the Bolsheviks, the occult Nazis, and several heretical Sufi, Zoroastrian, Christian, and Muslim sects. Following a carefully crafted definition of a true adherent of the left-hand path based on two main principles--self-deification and challenge to the conventions of "good" and "evil"--The author analyzes many famous and infamous personalities, including H.P. Blavatsky, Faust, the Marquis de Sade, Austin Osman Spare, Aleister Crowley, Gerald Gardner, Anton LaVey, and Michael Aquino, and reveals which occult masters were Lords of the Left-Hand Path. Flowers shows that the left-hand path is not inherently evil but part of our heritage and our deep-seated desire to be free, independent, and in control of our destinies."--Publisher's description.

Erik Larson (born January 3, 1954) is an American author. Born in Brooklyn, Larson grew up in Freeport, Long Island, New York. He studied Russian history at the University of Pennsylvania and graduated summa cum laude in 1976. After a year off, he attended the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, graduating in 1978. Larson's first newspaper job was with The Bucks County Courier Times in Levittown, Pennsylvania, where he wrote about murder, witches, environmental poisons, and other "equally pleasant" things. He became a features writer for The Wall Street Journal and Time magazine, where he is still a contributing writer. His magazine stories have appeared in The New Yorker, The Atlantic Monthly, Harper's, and other publications. Larson has also written a number of books, beginning in 1992 with The Naked Consumer: How Our Private Lives Become Public Commodities, followed in 1995 by Lethal Passage: The Story of a Gun. Larson's next books were Isaac's Storm, about the experiences of Isaac Cline during the Galveston Hurricane of 1900, and The Devil in the White City, about the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago and a series of murders by H. H. Holmes that were committed in the city around the time of the Fair. The Devil in the White City won the 2004 Edgar Award in the Best Fact Crime category. In 2006, Larson published Thunderstruck, which intersperses the story of Hawley H. Crippen with that of Guglielmo Marconi and the invention of radio. Erik Larson intertwines the true tale of the 1893 World's Fair and the cunning serial killer who used the fair to lure his victims to their death. Combining meticulous research with nail-biting storytelling, Erik Larson has crafted a narrative with all the wonder of newly discovered history and the thrills of the best fiction. The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair That Changed America is a non-fiction book by Erik Larson presented in a novelistic style. Set in Chicago during the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition, it tells the story of World's Fair architect Daniel Burnham and of H. H. Holmes, a criminal figure widely considered the first serial killer in the United States. The Devil in the White City is divided into four parts, the first three happening in Chicago between 1890 and 1893, while part four of the book takes place in Philadelphia circa 1895. The book interweaves the true tales of Daniel Burnham, the architect behind the 1893 World's Fair, and H. H. Holmes, a serial killer who lured his victims to their deaths in his elaborately constructed "Murder Castle". Burnham ran into many challenges when it came to the World's Fair including a fire, difficulty engineering the buildings to be safe, and a lack of funds for the fair. H. H. Holmes was responsible for multiple murders. His "dungeon" was equipped with secret rooms, torture chambers, and he even had access to a big furnace to cremate the bodies of his victims. Holmes was known as a charming man who had the ability to seduce his victims. He mainly targeted women in the book. According to Book Marks, the book received "positive" reviews based on eight critic reviews with three being "rave" and two being "positive" and one being "mixed". Janet Maslin of The New York Times praised the book as "vivid" and "lively", and commented on how the research done by Larson on the many "odd and amazing" events of the 1893 exhibition are "given shape and energy" by his "dramatic inclinations". In a review for Newsweek, Malcolm Jones wrote "the story of the fair was "too enchanting". Derived from a Kirkus review: A vivid account of the tragedies and triumphs of the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago and the concurrent depravities of America's first serial killer. In roughly alternating chapters, Larson tells the stories of Daniel H. Burnham, chief planner and architect of exposition, and Dr. Henry Howard Holmes, whose rambling World's Fair Hotel, just a short streetcar ride away, housed windowless rooms, a gas chamber, secret chutes, and a basement crematory. The contrast in these accomplishments of determined human endeavor could not be more starkâ"or chilling. Burnham assembled what a contemporary called "the greatest meeting of artists since the 15th century" to turn the wasteland of Chicago's swampy Jackson Park into the ephemeral White City, which enthralled nearly 28 million visitors in a single summer. Overcoming gargantuan obstacles â"politically entangled delays, labor unrest, an economic panic, and a fierce Chicago winterâ"to say nothing of the architectural challenges, Burnham and his colleagues, including Frederick Law Olmsted, produced their marvel in just over two years. The fair was a city unto itself, the first to make wide-scale use of alternating current to illuminate its 200,000 incandescent bulbs. Spectacular engineering feats included Ferris's gigantic wheel, intended to "out-Eiffel Eiffel," and, ominously, the latest example of Krupp's artillery, "breathing of blood and carnage." Dr. Holmes, a frequent visitor to the fair, was a consummate swindler and lady-killer who secured his victims' trust through "courteous, audacious rascality." Most were comely young women, and estimates of their total ranged from the nine whose bodies (or parts thereof) were recovered to nearly 200. Larson does a superb job outlining this "conflict between good and evil, daylight and darkness, the White City and the Black." Gripping drama, captured with a reporter's nose for a good story and a novelist's flair for telling it. First Vintage Books Edition [stated]. First printing [stated].
