This volume introduces many new authors who have yet to make their mark. There are 21 stories, with biographies and illustrations. I have endeavored to assemble the most exciting, imaginative, well-plotted and well-written stories from the many I received. I believe that this anthology showcases some of the best, most talented new horror and dark fantasy writers from around the World. There are contributions from new writers in England, Scotland, Wales, the USA, Canada, Australia, and Russia. The subjects covered range across the whole of the genre spectrum, and all have one thing in common; they illustrate what has always been the cornerstone of these volumes: Horror with a Heart. I am very pleased with the reaction from two of my favourite respected authors working in the horror and dark fantasy genre today. Having read the stories, they commented as follows: "Welcome to the next generation of horror authors Trevor Denyer, who over the decades has published stories by upcoming writers now considered among the best in the genre, in this anthology has collected tales by writers just starting out, but who are sure to become prominent in the years ahead. Hellfire Crossroads 7 is a preview of who we'll be reading 5, 10, 15 years from now. Highly recommended." Ralph Robert Moore - Author of 'Father Figure', and many short story collections. 13 appearances in BLACK STATIC."An impressive collection of dark stories from writers who will be new to most of us, and whom we should be hearing from in the future. From tales of psychological darkness to ones of wartime guilt and family trauma to present-day fears, there is plenty for any horror reader." Gary Couzens 'Blood Spectrum' film reviewer for BLACK STATIC. Author of 'Second Contact' and 'Out Stack and Other Places'.This is the second volume to be available both as a print and e-book.

Kliv in i stadens gömda, förbisedda och försvunna rum! I Bakom stadens kulisser tar forskare från skilda discipliner med läsaren på strövtåg i Stockholm från tidigt 1800-tal till sent 1900-tal. Antologin tar sin början bland de första omstridda schweizerierna i Staden mellan broarna, passerar stadens nya centrum för konsumtion och förströelser på Norr, gör uppehåll på det fashionabla Östermalm och avslutas i de förfallna Klarakvarteren. Läsaren får besöka försvunna kaférum och slå in på det beryktade bordellstråket Norra Smedjegatan, träda in i undangömda kökstrappor, bevittna hemliga möten i Humlegårdens urinkurer och bekanta sig med de stora varuhusens upplysta skyltfönster. Vandringen avslutas bakom kulisserna på den svenska syndens stråk Klara porra under 1970-talet. Rummen har både fysiska och mentala gränser. De präglas av normer och ideal kring manligt och kvinnligt, liksom av gränsöverskridanden i spänningsfälten mellan offentligt och privat, arbete och fritid, smutsigt och rent, konsumtion och produktion. Det är också rum som inte alltid lämnat tydliga spår i kulturarvsinstitutionernas samlingar. Antologin Bakom stadens kulisser är ett resultat av forskningsprojektet Bekönade rum. Mångdimensionella vandringar i stadens historia. Genom ett nära samarbete mellan arkivarier, antikvarier och forskare har projektet syftat till att skriva fram en mer mångfacetterad stadshistoria med utgångspunkt i de spår av levt liv som speglas i kulturarvsinstitutionernas föremål, bilder och foton.
Nordbor är en kulturhistorisk exposé över livet i norr från 1500-talet till idag. Den handlar om människan i Norden, om hur livsmiljöer och kulturer vuxit fram, förändrats och formats till en väv av historiska erfarenheter. Verkliga personer, både historiska och nu levande, har en viktig plats i berättelsen. Sverige står i centrum, men med nordiska jämförelser och globala utblickar. Boken följer och fördjupar innehållet i Nordiska museets utställning Nordbor. Här knyts händelser, personliga berättelser och nyare perspektiv på historien samman med utvalda föremål, bilder och arkivhandlingar ur museets samlingar. Ett femtiotal forskare och specialister medverkar som skribenter, varav hälften är medarbetare vid museet.
The Royal Road To Health; Or, The Secret Of Health Without Drugs is a health and wellness guide that advocates for natural, drug-free methods of maintaining and restoring health. The book presents the argument that most diseases are caused by the accumulation of waste materials in the body, and proper hygiene, along with natural treatments, can help prevent and cure various ailments. Tyrrell critiques conventional medicine for its over-reliance on drugs, which he believes often cause more harm than benefit. Instead, he emphasizes the importance of colon health and cleansing, suggesting that diseases arise when the body fails to eliminate waste effectively. Tyrrell introduces a hygienic system that includes specialized equipment like the "J. B. L. Cascade" for colon cleansing. The work challenges traditional medical approaches and promotes a holistic view of health, urging individuals to adopt practices that support the body s natural ability to heal itself. Through this philosophy, Tyrrell provides an alternative method to achieving long-term health without resorting to pharmaceuticals.
For over thirty years G. N. M. Tyrrell devoted himself to the study of psychical phenomena. Originally published in 1954, in his last book, written just before his death, he probes as deeply as possible into the meaning of the results of psychical research. He believes that paranormal phenomena are not isolated occurrences due to the exceptional gifts of a few unusual persons but the result of capacities which all human beings possess, though in widely varying degrees.After an introductory chapter on Psychology and Psychiatry, the chief psychical phenomena – extra-sensory perception, mediumship, apparitions, etc. – are discussed and illustrated. Then follows a general criticism of current attitudes towards the subject. The book ends with two chapters arguing that the normal and paranormal are one and suggesting a pathway to religion.

Originally published in 1951, Homo Faber is an examination of the scientific outlook on human mental evolution through the lens of parapsychology. The book aims to undermine what its terms, the ‘scientific outlook’ examining the human interpretation of the world, and the preconceived scientific concepts that reality does not extend beyond the realm that our senses reveal. The book expands upon this and moves to examine the broader human understanding of the entire cosmos, challenging the scientific conception that this can be grasped in principal by human intellect, arising from the chance combination of material particles. The book argues that the scientific outlook prevents humans from discovering in the Universe the meaning and purpose which are everywhere to be found if sought in the appropriate contemplative states of mind. This book provides a unique take on the examination of human psychology and the evolution of the brain from an alternative scientific stance. It will be of interest to anthropologists, historians and psychologists alike.
