Tome of the Undergates - Sam Sykes

Lenk can barely keep control of his mismatched adventurer band at the best of times (Gariath the dragon man sees humans as little more than prey, Kataria the Shict despises most humans, and the humans in the band are little better). When they''re not insulting each other''s religions they''re arguing about pay and conditions. So when the ship they are travelling on is attacked by pirates things don''t go very well. They go a whole lot worse when an invincible demon joins the fray. The demon steals the Tome of the Undergates - a manuscript that contains all you need to open the undergates. And whichever god you believe in you don''t want the undergates open. On the other side are countless more invincible demons, the manifestation of all the evil of the gods, and they want out.Full of razor-sharp wit, characters who leap off the page (and into trouble) and plunging the reader into a vivid world of adventure this is a fantasy that kicks off a series that could dominate the second decade of the century.

The Dragon with the Blazing Bottom at Christmas - Beach

'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, ​ Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. ​ Meanwhile a star-dusted sleigh blazed through the sky, ​ With a dragon-shaped reindeer fifty-feet high … ​ It's Christmas Eve, but Santa is nowhere to be seen. Luckily, Sir Wayne and Dragon are happy to step in. They know all Santa's moves – they're terrific with tinsel, their wrapping is rocking and just LOOK how much stuff they can fit in a stocking! But that's not all . . . They've got another trick up their sleeve that will make this Christmas go off with a show-stopping, snow-hopping, bum-popping BOOM . . . ​ ​An explosively funny retelling of Clement C. Moore's classic poem 'The Night Before Christmas' from the bestselling creator of The Dragon with the Blazing Bottom series.

Circus and the Avant-Gardes

This book examines how circus and circus imaginary have shaped the historical avant-gardes at the beginning of the 20th century and the cultures they help constitute, to what extent this is a mutual shaping, and why this is still relevant today. This book aims to produce a better sense of the artistic work and cultural achievements that have emerged from the interplay of circus and avant-garde artists and projects, and to clarify both their transhistorical and trans-medial presence, and their scope for interdisciplinary expansion. Across 14 chapters written by leading scholars – from fields as varied as circus, theatre and performance studies, art, media studies, film and cultural history – some of which are written together with performers and circus practitioners, the book examines to what extent circus and avant-garde connections contribute to a better understanding of early 20th century artistic movements and their enduring legacy, of the history of popular entertainment, and the cultural relevance of circus arts. Circus and the Avant-Gardes elucidates how the realm of the circus as a model, or rather a blueprint for modernist experiment, innovation and (re)negotiation of bodies, has become fully integrated in our ways of perceiving avant-gardes today.
