From the pens of four USA Today Bestselling authors, a brand-new Witches of Port Townsend...So the world is ending...Tierra: Having bested the Devil by springing Death out of Hell, Tierra now isn't so sure she wants to keep him. He bonded her to him, turning her immortal without even asking. For an earth witch who embraces the changing seasons, this is a nightmare. With the Devil on her heels, the world in peril, and their baby due around All Hollow's Eve, what's a witch willing to do? Just about anything.Moira: Moira de Moray has decided that prophecy should be a four-letter word. When they learn that the only way to keep the world from becoming a galactic grease stain is for another of the de Morays to get knocked up, Moira is just dumb enough to volunteer. Trouble is, in order to conceive this magical force-balancing fetus, she first has to bond herself to arrogant, infuriating, and, okay-hot enough to singe the Devil's ass cheeks-Nick Kingswood. With the final seal looming and the fate of the world hanging in the balance, Moira must decide whether she's willing to learn what to expect when she's expecting...The Dark One.Claire: Wouldn't you know it? Claire finally finds the love of her life, and the devil wants to ruin everything.

Now that she's bonded with Dru, does immortal blood flow through her veins? The answer could make all the difference to her, her family, and the world.Aerin: Nothing like a sabotaged hillbilly wedding to make a girl wish for a speedy Armageddon. Luckily for Aerin, it is nigh. Thing is, Julian Roarke, the elegant, brilliant, sexy-as-sin immortal is sizing Aerin up for a ring as if there's a chance in hell they've a future together. But how can they? The Devil-that body-snatching bimbo-is more powerful than ever with an army of evil witches in her arsenal. Pigs are flying. The moon is blood. Everything is on fire. Hell is frozen over.And as the final battle approaches, the fate of the world depends on which witch is willing to make the ultimate sacrifice...

Michael Utzon (f. 1984) har altid fotograferet, og som barn brugte han utallige timer i mørkekammeret, hvor han under kyndig vejledning af sin farfar, den banebrydende danske fotograf Keld Helmer-Petersen, blev introduceret til fotografiet. Under et ophold i New York i 2013 udviklede Utzon for alvor sit helt eget formsprog, der er karakteriseret ved organiske og farverige billeder i en stram grafisk komposition. Utzons blik fæstnes ved ting fra hverdagen, som han bevæger sig så tæt på, at de ofte fremstår uigenkendelige og abstrakte. Motivet må vige pladsen for syrlige og sammenflydende farver. Fotografierne vidner om Utzons unikke evne til altid at se det skønne i tilværelsens abstrakte og til tider oversete strukturer, og han inspirerer os til at se på det synlige omkring os fra et nyt perspektiv, altid på en instinktiv, umiddelbar og sanselig måde, som gav man sig hen til et stykke musik. Netop fordi vi sjældent tuner ind på detaljer i det nære og virkelig ser på disse med grundige øjne, skaber Michael Utzon rum for et nærstudie af virkelighedens oversete detaljer. ETERNAL er den første udgivelse om Michael Utzon og samler hans fotografiske arbejde frem til i dag. Fotografierne suppleres med tekster af mag. art. og kurator på ARoS Aarhus Kunstmuseum Maria Kappel Blegvad, billedkunstner Nicky Sparre-Ulrich og fotograf Keld Helmer-Petersen.
While researching a book on Depression-era outlaws, Playboy editor William J. Helmer stumbled upon a 600-page manuscript on John Dillinger. Written in the 1930s by G. Russell Girardin but never published, Dillinger: The Untold Story is a captivating and revealing account of Dillinger's life and crimes, based in part on information given to Girardin by the outlaw's lawyer, Louis Piquett, shortly after Dillinger's death. Though a series of articles written by Girardin and Piquett appeared in various newspapers at the time, the manuscript continued to yellow on the shelf for half a century until Helmer met Girardin and agreed to help get it published. This anniversary edition is filled with more illustrations and new information from FBI files and other sources, making it a rich and authentic slice of American history and a feast for true crime buffs.

It was a hard land that bred hard men to hard ways. King Mabry survived by his guns. He wasn't proud of his deadly skill, nor was he ashamed. He just lived with it every hard day on the frontier. When a traveling theatrical troupe hired a ruthless killer to guide them through the Wyoming wilderness, King Mabry--his guns at the ready-set out to follow their trail, and not blizzards, nor Indians, nor the wily guide would stop him.
"A grand and epic prose poem . . . The purely human experience of war in the Pacific, written in the graceful imagery of a human being who--somehow--survived."--Tom HanksSee Robert Leckie's story in the HBO miniseries The Pacific Here is one of the most riveting first-person accounts ever to come out of World War II. Robert Leckie enlisted in the United States Marine Corps in January 1942, shortly after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. In Helmet for My Pillow we follow his odyssey, from basic training on Parris Island, South Carolina, all the way to the raging battles in the Pacific, where some of the war's fiercest fighting took place. Recounting his service with the 1st Marine Division and the brutal action on Guadalcanal, New Britain, and Peleliu, Leckie spares no detail of the horrors and sacrifices of war, painting an unvarnished portrait of how real warriors are made, fight, and often die in the defense of their country. From the live-for-today rowdiness of marines on leave to the terrors of jungle warfare against an enemy determined to fight to the last man, Leckie describes what war is really like when victory can only be measured inch by bloody inch. Woven throughout are Leckie's hard-won, eloquent, and thoroughly unsentimental meditations on the meaning of war and why we fight. Unparalleled in its immediacy and accuracy, Helmet for My Pillow will leave no reader untouched. This is a book that brings you as close to the mud, the blood, and the experience of war as it is safe to come.
The title of 'Helter Skelter', Tom Law's latest book, almost speaks for itself. Basically, due to human folly, the writing leads us to the world's end with perhaps the survival of just a few reverting to a pre high tech existence. The storyline is interwoven with political outpourings, observations and graffiti ramblings. Sequence is a problem as factual narrative merges into drama, futuristic fantasy and prediction. So be warned: the flow is deceptive as the text is driven into cataracts, over waterfalls and through chasms lined with sharp rocks and oblique boulders. The writing is at times confused, abstract and didactic.. in other words, unconventional Never the less, apart from being confronting it is a worthwhile read hopefully with lessons to be learned. Although the tome displays bucket loads of negativity and evil, the coda is a final escape route to the possibility of an alternative and possibly something better. Touches upon all the current problems and dilemmas facing humanity.
