But is it the locals who keep her trapped, with smiles on their faces, or something else, lurking in the woods?OutsideIn London, Sophie leads a chaotic life, with too many drunken nights, inappropriate men and boring temp jobs. But things take a turn as she starts to be targeted by strange messages warning her that someone, or something, is coming for her.With no idea who to trust, or where to turn for help, the messages become more insistent and more intimidating, urging Sophie to make her way to a place called Withered Hillâ ¦An utterly bewitching, dual timeline folk horror novel, with a truly devastating twist you have to read to believe.Praise for Withered Hill â ˜Eerie, erotic and engrossing, David Barnettâ ™s Withered Hill is a masterpiece of folkloric horror, one I suspect shall henceforth be mentioned in the same breath as The Wicker Man, as it well and truly deserves to beâ ™ Kealan Patrick Burke, Bram Stoker Award winning author of Sour Candyâ ˜A bloody masterpiece â ¦ Black Mirror meets The Wicker Manâ ™ Mark Stay, author of The Witches of Woodville series Haunting, shocking and beautifully written, Withered Hill lures you into a strange town where everything is slightly off-kilter, and then invites you to try and escape. But you can t. And neither will you escape the draw of this brilliant, almost hypnotic novel, which is one of my favourites of the year Tim Lebbon Midsommar, Evil Dead and Stepford Wives all in one, this twisted dark fairytale rooted in the modern world had me too scared to walk my dog in broad daylight. Masterful storytelling, sinister, sick and funny â “ if you re as warped as this folklore horror gem Lisa Rookes, author of The Vanishing of Joni Blackwood Withered Hill gets into you as the best folk horror tends to: the woods grow ever-deeper, the villagers more smilingly hostile as the escape routes shrink tighter than a keyhole. But there s much delight in being trapped in the hands of such an agile, clever, and knowing storyteller Nick Cutter, author of The Troop Beguiling, bewitching and brilliant. Withered Hill gets under your skin like some long-forgotten pagan spell and keeps you turning the pages late into the night. Jeremy Dyson, from the League of Gentlemen

Friends with Words - Martha Barnette
With warmth, a popular radio and podcast host shares her love of language, weaving together linguistic history, regional phrases, the hidden poetry in etymologies, new words, and stories from her life and time on the airMartha Barnette has spent two decades as the co-host of A Way with Words, lauded by Mary Norris in The New Yorker as “a virtual treasure house” and “‘Car Talk’ for Lexiphiles.” Over that time, she’s developed a keen sense of what fascinates people about language. They are curious about etymology and revel in slang, are surprised by regional vocabulary and celebrate linguistic diversity. Idioms both puzzle and delight word lovers, and they are eager to share family neologisms and that weird phrase Grandma always used to say. In Friends with Words, Barnette weaves together all these strands in a clear, informative, highly entertaining exploration of language. Chock-full of anecdotes, humorous asides, new words, trivia, and other lexicological delights, Friends with Words also tells Barnette’s story—from her Appalachian roots through her study of Ancient Greek, and on to the making of a beloved and enduring show. Friends with Words is an expert, good-humored, joyful book.

The Missing Lynx - Ross Barnett
Britain s lynx are missing, and they have been for more than a thousand years. Why have they gone? And might they come back?Britain was a very different place 15,000 years ago â “ home to lions, lynx, bears, wolves, bison and many more megafauna. But as its climate changed and human populations expanded, most of early Britain s largest mammals disappeared. Will advances in science and technology mean that we can one day bring these mammals back? And should we?In The Missing Lynx, palaeontologist Ross Barnett uses case studies, new fossil discoveries and biomolecular evidence to paint a picture of these lost species and to explore the ecological significance of their disappearance. He discusses how the Britons these animals shared their lives with might have viewed them and investigates why some species survived while others vanished.Barnett also looks in detail at the realistic potential of reintroductions, rewilding and even of resurrection in Britain and overseas, from the successful return of beavers in Argyll to the revolutionary Pleistocene Park in Siberia, which has already seen progress in the revival of mammoth steppe grassland.As widespread habitat destruction, climate change and an ever-growing human population lead us inexorably towards the sixth extinction, this timely book explores the spaces that extinction has left unfilled. And by helping us to understand why some of our most charismatic animals are gone, Ross Barnett encourages us to look to a brighter future, one that might see these missing beasts returned to the land on which they once lived and died.

Maternity Service - Emma Barnett
The essential companion for every mother embarking on maternity leave In one important sense maternity leave is poorly named, as it involves no actual leave. You are constantly on, even when your offspring is having a nap. There is nothing restful about it. In another sense maternity leave is aptly named, because itâ ™s a period of leave from all you know: taking leave of oneâ ™s mind, body, job, and relationships When Emma Barnett began her second maternity leave, she realized that, despite having been there before, as soon as her first leave finished the rose-tinted lenses had descended and she immediately forgot what the experience was actually like when youâ ™re in it. This collective forgetting, which leads to well-meaning comments such as â ˜enjoy every minuteâ ™ and â ˜treasure this special timeâ ™, is doing a disservice to women, leaving them unprepared for the more complicated reality of what it means to be on maternity service.In this warmly reassuring, refreshingly honest book, Emma sets out to capture this reality, in real time while on her latest tour of duty. She isnâ ™t offering advice on sleep-training or weaning or helping your baby reach milestones. Instead, this book is a celebration and acknowledgement of the work of being on maternity leave, with its soaring highs and challenging lows, and its impact on how women feel about our purpose and ourselves. Kind, funny, smart, soothing and radical ... This book is a hot cup of tea, a steadying hand on an arm, a baton passed with care and compassion ... A true gift for mothers, and an act of service in itself. This book will change lives LUCY JONES, author of Matrescence

The Red Record - Ida B. Wells-Barnett
The Red Record tabulates these instances of cruelty in clear, impartial figures. Ida B. Wells original goal for the brochure was to humiliate and shock the lethargic public-and spur change-alongside the total by describing actual instances of lynching and listing the common justifications for these arbitrary executions. The practice of lynching was so pervasive in the postbellum American South that the majority of Southern politicians and leaders chose to ignore it. This lethal brand of vigilante justice was really a thinly veiled racist justification for homicidal brutality. With charges ranging from attempted stock poisoning to insulting whites, more than 200 African Americans were killed in 1892 alone. In order to let the dreadful statistics speak for themselves. The anti-lynching movement in the US was led by investigative journalist and activist Ida B. Wells, later Wells-Barnett. A Red Record used mainstream white newspapers to document a resurgence of white mob violence, building on her ground-breaking exposé Southern Horrors: Lynch Law in All Its Phases (1892), and discovered that more than 9,000 African Americans had been killed by lynching in the South between 1864 and 1894. The novel aimed to make space for one aspect of a crucial discussion about power, violence, and race in the US.

Barnett Newman - Amy Newman
The definitive biography of a transformational American artist and the city that shaped himBarnett Newman (1905â “1970), a founding member of the abstract expressionist movement, was a contemporary of such figures as Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, Mark Rothko, and Clyfford Still. He left behind only 118 finished paintings, six sculptures, and 83 acknowledged drawings, yet is often regarded as the greatest painter to have emerged after the Second World War. Barnett Newman is the definitive biography of a charismatic New Yorker who defied the rules and created an art of the sublime. This landmark book features original research conducted over decades, using scores of interviews, oral histories, and previously unseen correspondence to paint a richly textured portrait of a creative sage who became an exemplar of the artist-citizen. Born in New York to Polish Jewish immigrant parents, he grandly aspired to involve himself in every detail of the cityâ ™s life. He was a crusader for the civil service, ran against La Guardia for mayor, worked as a teacher, wrote poetry, criticism, and manifestos, produced political plays, and promoted other artistsâ ”all before painting a mature work of his own in his early forties. Newman began with none of the qualities once considered indispensable for a master artist, such as training, apprenticeship, or natural facility. But he possessed a galvanizing intellect and a conviction that aesthetic expression is an ecstatic declaration of existence and an assertion of human dignity. Drawing on previously unpublished sources gleaned from full access to Newmanâ ™s archives, Amy Newman presents a portrait of a maverick whose works are among the most enduring of the twentieth century and whose influence continues to this day.

Černý telefon a další příběhy - Joe Hill - audiokniha
Audiokniha: Smutné, děsivé, zvláštní, dojemné, zábavné a někdy dokonce sladké… Opuštěný psací stroj, jehož majitel náhle zemřel. Nádherná dívka, která čeká v přítmí kinosálu, líbá jako božská Marilyn a ví všechno o filmech i smrti. Nafukovací kluk, co se mezi spolužáky stane obětí šikany. Anebo rozbitý černý telefon ve sklepě, kam maskovaný únosce zamkl mladíka Johna Finneyho stejně jako půl tuctu kluků před tím. Všechny jejich příběhy spojuje jeden muž – Joe Hill, syn slavného hororového autora Stephena Kinga, který se vydal v otcových šlépějích a ve výběrové antologii znepokojivých povídek přibližuje strach ze známého i netušeného. Titulní povídka Černý telefon se v roce 2021 dočkala úspěšné filmové adaptace s Ethanem Hawkem v hlavní roli. „Nejlepší nový horor získal cenu British Fantasy Award za nejlepší povídku v roce 2006.“ Audiokniha obsahuje kromě Černého telefonu také další autorova kratší díla – 20th Centrury Ghost, Šeherezádin psací stroj, Nejlepší nový horor a Pop Art. „Hillovy příběhy jsou místy niterné a odporné, ale nikdy ne bezdůvodně... – SCI-FI NOW, Ross Sutcliffe. „Nejlepší nový horor je hodně zneklidňujícím otvírákem sbírky, a podle mého mínění je nejděsivějším příběhem ze všech. Pojednává o člověku, který miluje horory tak moc, až se sám v jednom ocitne. Knoflíček mi asi nedá spát hodně dlouho. Tohle byla opravdu lahůdka.“ – Knihy Dobrovský, Jiří Klimeš. „Joe Hill svého otce nezapře vzhledem ani psaním. Není tedy tolik popisný, jeho povídky jsou na rozdíl od Kinga o fous úspornější, ale co se týče využívání fantazie, jsou na tom oba pánové podobně. Joe Hill úspěšně rozvíjí vaši představivost, pokud ji máte jen trochu víc bujnou, užijete si vizuální představy z povídek do sytosti. Joe Hill umí vykreslit atmosféru, mnohdy dost tísnivou, zjistíte, že vás někdy i mrazí – jestli příjemně, to záleží na tom, jak moc si v hororech a mysteriózních příbězích libujete… a taky v otevřených koncích.“ – Zápisky jedné knihovnice. „Výborná a stylově pestrá sbírka povídek.”− deti-noci.cz. „Joe Hill úspěšně rozvíjí vaši představivost, pokud ji máte jen trochu víc bujnou, užijete si vizuální představy z povídek do sytosti.

Ring the Hill - Tom Cox
A hill is not a mountain. You climb it for you, then you put it quietly inside you, in a cupboard marked Quite A Lot Of Hills where it makes its infinitesimal mark on who you are. Ring the Hill is a book written around, and about, hills: it includes a northern hill, a hill that never ends and the smallest hill in England. Each chapter takes a type of hill - whether it s a knoll, cap, cliff, tor or even a mere bump - as a starting point for one of Tom s characteristically unpredictable and wide-ranging explorations. Tom s lyrical, candid prose roams from an intimate relationship with a particular cove on the south coast, to meditations on his great-grandmother and a lesson on what goes into the mapping of hills themselves. Because a good walk in the hills is never just about the hills: you never know where it might lead.

In Hill Farming in the North of England , photographer John Bentley has had access to the world of the hill farmer. Hill farming is round-the-clock work, season to season, still predominantly done on family farms. In this book farmers at work are shown through the seasons of the year, which dictate the farming calendar, from providing winter feed for the livestock â “ mostly sheep and cattle â “ to shearing, haymaking, lambing in the spring and â ˜tuppingâ ™ in the autumn, and going to sales, shows and sheepdog trials. It is a visual portrait of a remarkable way of life and part of our farming heritage. Look through these photographs and you will quickly see the unique challenges of hill farming in the stunning but often harsh landscape of the north of England.

He moves into a small Buddhist nunnery in the crumbling neighbourhood of Diamond Hill, where planes landing at the nearby airport fly so close overhead that travellers can see into the rooms of those below.As Buddha begins to care for the nuns and their neighbours, this pocket of the old city is vanishing. Even the fiery Iron Nun cannot prevent the frequent landslides that threaten the nunnery she fights for, and in the nearby shanty town, a faded film actress who calls herself Audrey Hepburn is hiding a deep secret and trying to survive with her teenage daughter who has a bigger fish to fry.But no one arrives in Diamond Hill by accident, and Buddha s ties to this place run deeper than he is willing to admit. Can he make peace with his past and survive in this disappearing city?Beautifully written and utterly compelling, Diamond Hill is a gorgeous love letter that perfectly captures a lost place, filled with unforgettable characters.

Martin Sheppardâ ™s scintillating history of Primrose Hill, one of Londonâ ™s greatest landmarks, recounts the many remarkable and sometimes extraordinary events on the hill over the centuries.â ˜Primrose Hill is Londonâ ™s crowning glory. In New York, Paris or Shanghai the place to experience the best view of the city is from a really high building. Not so London, which is best seen from a gentle, very English hilltop. For all London lovers, Martin Sheppardâ ™s book is a truly delightful addition to the cityâ ™s history.â ™ â “ Sir Terry Farrell

Diamond Hill - Kit Fan
A rapid-fire debut with a cinematographer s eye for detail... Fan strikes a deft balance between agile set-pieces and lingering beauty. Naoise Dolan A vivid, powerful portrait of a vanishing world. David Nicholls Do you know what it was like here? You wouldn t believe the glamour. We had our own film studio, redbrick houses for the stars, even Jackie Chan. Now look at us - the Hollywood of the Orient will soon be gone altogether. 1987, Hong Kong. Trying to outrun his demons, a young man who calls himself Buddha returns to the bustling place of his birth. He moves into a small Buddhist nunnery in the crumbling neighbourhood of Diamond Hill, where planes landing at the nearby airport fly so close overhead that travellers can see into the rooms of those below.As Buddha begins to care for the nuns and their neighbours, this pocket of the old city is vanishing. Even the fiery Iron Nun cannot prevent the frequent landslides that threaten the nunnery she fights for, and in the nearby shanty town, a faded film actress who calls herself Audrey Hepburn is hiding a deep secret and trying to survive with her teenage daughter who has a bigger fish to fry.But no one arrives in Diamond Hill by accident, and Buddha s ties to this place run deeper than he is willing to admit.

Watching the Wheels - Hill Damon
The Sunday Times #1 Bestseller, shortlisted for the Cross Sports Book Award.In 1996, Damon Hill was crowned Formula One World Champion. For the first time ever he tells the story of his journey through the last golden era of the sport when he took on the greats including Ayrton Senna and Michael Schumacher and emerged victorious as World Champion in 1996, stepping out of the shadow of his legendary father Graham Hill.Away from the grid, Watching the Wheels: The Autobiography is an astonishingly candid account of what it was like to grow up as the son of one of the country s most famous racing drivers. It also tells the unflinching story of dealing with the grief and chaos that followed his father s tragically early death in an aircraft accident in 1975, when Damon was fifteen years old. Formula One drivers have always been aware of their mortality, and the rush that comes with the danger of racing was as intoxicating for Hill as it had been for his father s generation, until he came face-to-face with catastrophe when his team-mate, Ayrton Senna, was killed in 1994. The swirling emotions that Hill was faced with in light of the death of Senna was a defining moment for his generation of drivers and for the first time ever Hill talks candidly about the impact that Senna had on his life, even as he watched his own son step into motor racing.Courageously honest, and hugely rewarding, Watching the Wheels is a return to the last golden era of F1 racing, whose image still burns ferociously for those who love the sport for what it reveals about human skill in the face of near certain death.
