"Ok, so Janie didn't die - I'll give you that..."A spell-binding tale, inspired by the Orpheus myth and set in contemporary London, that will transport the reader to an occult world of inexplicable death, conspiracy theory and impossible music.All Stephen Anthony Floyd wants from life is to make music and spend time with his girlfriend Janie and his friends on St Ragnulf's Place. But, with the appearance of a mysterious motorcycle messenger and a number of increasingly bizarre events, Stephen finds his life turned upside down and his perception of what is real and what is not severely challenged. His world revolves itself into a number of important questions that need to be answered, such as why his next-door neighbour has (literally) exploded; who is the despatch rider who seems to be stalking him; what are the Blood of the Lamb up to; how can Valhalla Rag Records possibly exist; and, perhaps most critically, will Janie ever speak to him again?A quirky and magical blend of Haruki Murakami, Nick Hornby and Neil Gaiman, Strangelove Place is a funny, moving, surreal, and metaphysical tale about love, loss and a strange world that exists parallel to ours and of which we are not usually aware.

From the North and South Branches to the Chesapeake Bay, the Potomac River is rife with lost souls and creepy tales. Before European colonists first dipped their toes in our 'Nation's River' it succored generations of Native Americans who added their own stories--and often stained its banks with their blood. Revolutionary War ghosts haunt its length, from Shepherdstown to Saint George's Island. Harpers Ferry is home to more than one 19th century haunt, and ghosts of Civil War soldiers linger in the river's upper reaches. Historic buildings in Sterling, Arlington and Alexandria are home to former residents who have refused to move on. Point Lookout, at the mouth of the river, is the most haunted site in Maryland. Author David W. Thompson tells the ghoulish and ghastly stories of the Potomac River valley.

He continues to travel to Thailand to eat, research, and learn. He takes his knowledge home, and finds innovative ways to root a traditional dish to the Pacific Northwest while accentuating each ingredient's flavor, aroma, and texture--all of which you will learn in this cookbook.

Originally published in 1974. This book on comparative literature represents the first extended attempt to relate Dante's major allegorical mode to classical and medieval interpretations of epic poetry rather than to patristic biblical exegesis. Dante's Epic Journeys is also the first comprehensive explanation of Dante's enigmatic Ulysses. Thompson strives to shed new light not only on Dante's allegory—and thus upon the whole troubled question of exactly what an allegory was thought to be—but also on the intricate relationship between poet and poem and between Dante's spiritual journeys and his written representation of those itineraries.

"Children are to be seen and not heard", "Lock'em up and throw away the key". These are both expressions we have used or still use in America to ensure the "least of these" are put and kept in their place. But what if the keys to a spiritual life are hidden in these members of "the least of these". Jesus almost commands us to "visit those in prison" and sets the example for what the kingdom of heaven is like by bringing children to the front of an adult meeting" Through the use of stories this book helps us to understand the innocence from which God asks us to approach this life on earth, and the viewpoint of people who have lost everything but their relationship with Christ. The author was a teacher and professor as well as a United Methodist Minister and brings these stories of great joy, humility, and love to the reader. Hopefully, we will cry, laugh and love together.
