A dark, riveting thriller set in 1920s Hollywood about the greatest horror movie ever made , the curse said to surround it, and a deadly search, decades later, for the single copy rumoured still to exist. 1927: Hollywood studio fixer Mary Rourke is called to the palatial home of the most desirable woman in the world , silent movie actress Norma Carlton, star of The Devil s Playground. When Rourke finds Carlton dead, she wonders if the dark rumours she s heard are true: that The Devil s Playground really is a cursed production.

#39;Very beautiful and illuminating #39; Mariella Frostrup Edward Brooke-Hitching, author of the international bestseller The Phantom Atlas delivers an atlas unlike any other. The Devil’s Atlas is an illustrated guide to the heavens, hells and lands of the dead as imagined throughout history by cultures and religions around the world. Packed with colourful maps, paintings and captivating stories, the reader is taken on a compelling tour of the geography, history and supernatural populations of the afterworlds of cultures around the globe. Whether it’s the thirteen heavens of the Aztecs, the Chinese Taoist netherworld of ‘hungry ghosts’, or the ‘Hell of the Flaming Rooster’ of Japanese Buddhist mythology (in which sinners are tormented by an enormous fire-breathing cockerel), The Devil’s Atlas gathers together a wonderful variety of beliefs and representations of life after death. These afterworlds are illustrated with an unprecedented collection of images, ranging from the marvellous ‘infernal cartography’ of the European Renaissance artists attempting to map the structured Hell described by Dante and the decorative Islamic depictions of Paradise to the various efforts to map the Garden of Eden and the spiritual vision paintings of nineteenth-century mediums.The Devil’s Atlas accompanies beautiful images with a highly readable trove of surprising facts and narratives, from the more inventive torture methods awaiting sinners, to colourful eccentric catalogues of demons, angels and assorted death deities. A traveller’s guide to worlds unseen, The Devil’s Atlas is a fascinating study of the boundless capacity of human invention, a visual chronicle of man’s hopes, fears and fantasies of what lies beyond.

How we explain the evils of the world - and the darkest parts of ourselves - has preoccupied humans throughout history. In The Devil s Best Trick, Randall Sullivan investigates historical, religious and cultural conceptions of evil, from Biblical times to European witch hunts to the devil-worshipping Black Mass ceremony. He travels to Mexico to participate in the Hour of the Witches - an annual ceremony in which hundreds of people congregate in the jungle south of Vera Cruz to negotiate terms with El Diablo.He takes us through the most famous exorcism in American history. And he delivers original reporting on the shocking story of a small town in Texas that, in 1988, unravelled into paranoia and panic after a seventeen-year-old boy was found hanging from a tree and rumours about Satanic worship and cults flourished. Nimble and expertly researched, The Devil s Best Trick brilliantly melds cultural and historical commentary with a suspenseful true-crime narrative.Randall Sullivan, whose reportage and narrative skill has been called extraordinary and enthralling by Rolling Stone, takes on a bold task in this book that is both biography of the Devil and a look at how evil manifests in the world.

Devil on the Cross - Thiong
A legendary work of African literature, Devil on the Cross is one of the cornerstones of Ngugi wa Thiong o s enduring fame - and at the heart of his perennial contention for the Nobel Prize. An impassioned cry for a Kenya free of dictatorship and for African writers to work in their own local dialects, it has had profound influences on Africa and on African literature.Written on toilet paper while Ngugi wa Thiong o was in prison, this novel tells the tragic story of Wariinga, a young woman who moves from a rural Kenyan town to the capital, Nairobi, only to be exploited by her boss and later a corrupt businessman. As Wariinga struggles to survive, she begins to realize that her problems are only symptoms of a larger societal malaise and that much of the misfortune stems from the Western, capitalist influences on her country. Climaxing in an unforgettable scene of the Devil s Feast , a satirical parable on Western culture and business practices, Devil on the Cross is an essential story of the post-colonial African experience.

How To Be A Liberal - Ian Dunt
‘A tour de force.’ – The Secret Barrister ‘Urgent and engaging.’ – Nick Cohen, Observer columnist ‘A phenomenal history from a truly big mind.’ – David Schneider, writer Required reading for anyone interested in politics and philosophy. – Prospect magazine In a soaring narrative that stretches from the battlefields of the English Civil War to the 2008 Wall Street crash and Brexit, Ian Dunt tells the story of liberalism from its birth in the fight against absolute monarchy to the modern-day struggle against dog-whistle nationalism. Narrated by the author, this vivid, epic book explains the political ideas which underpin the modern world. Written by a co-presenter of the Origin Story podcast, it is a call to action for those who believe in freedom and reason, and a clear-throated defence and explanation of why those values matter to us all, in our everyday lives. Mostly, though, it is political history and philosophy as it should be written (and read): taut, thought-provoking and bursting with ideas. Among the topics dealt with are: The birth of liberalism with Rene Descartes Radical ideas of freedom in the English Civil War Mob rule during the French Revolution Liberal values in the American War of Independence John Stuart Mill and liberalism s great love affair The Nazi and Soviet crushing of individual liberty John Maynard Keynes liberal economics The rise of identity politics and groupthink Social media and misinformation Donald Trump and the rise of nationalism worldwide Why we fight for our values – the rebellion begins here Hailed as courageous by LBC s James O Brien and as a tour de force by the Secret Barrister, How to be a Liberal is both a history of the growth of individual liberty and a rallying cry to turn back the new populism threatening democratic values and personal freedoms. It is the book you need to navigate our times. Reviews ‘A tour de force; a mighty trumpet blast for the forces of liberalism and enlightenment in the face of a global tide of ignorance and populism.’ – The Secret Barrister ‘This is a history of ideas as it should be written – brilliant, vivid story-telling about the people who shaped liberalism, the challenges it has faced over the centuries, its commitment to the truth and why it’s now more important than ever to defend it.’ – Caroline Lucas MP ‘How To Be A Liberal is required reading for today’s political debates.’ – Anne Applebaum, Twilight of Democracy I m loving How to be a Liberal. It s really great. I mean breathtakingly good. Bravo. – Dr Ben Goldacre This book is required reading for anyone interested in politics and philosophy. – Prospect About the Author Ian Dunt is a columnist, author of How Westminster Works, and presents the Origin Story podcast. His first book, Brexit: What the Hell Happens Now? (Canbury Press, 2017), on Britain s challenge in leaving the European Union, was a critically-acclaimed bestseller. In How To Be A Liberal (Canbury, 2020), he tells the epic story of personal freedom. Ranging across history, politics and economics, he makes a powerful case for a radical brand of egalitarian liberalism that can safeguard individuals while looking after everyone.
