Robert Wells

Vampires, demons, and ghosts haunt the pages of these 21st century horror stories. It's an even scarier collection than Robert Wells acclaimed first book, The Devil is Missing. A doctor who opens a new private practice requests his patients pay him by donating a pint of their blood because he specialises in haematology and needs it for research. But the truth is that the doctor has other plans on how to use the blood. A painting bought at an antiques shop changes images, with each one foretelling a disaster that will follow. Mystery surrounds a young boy found alone in a wood; he cannot speak and he is dressed in clothes that date from 100 years ago. Events spiral out of control, with fatal consequences, when a man meets his doppelganger while out shopping. What is the horrifying secret that is discovered in the attic where a couple's son is heard whispering to another boy who isn't there? And a wall starts to bleed at the bungalow left to a young couple by their uncle. If you have a taste for terror, this new collection of 14 stories is perfect for you. But can you read them and still sleep at night?

Fourteen contemporary horror stories that are ghostly and ghastly, and guaranteed to chill. An ancient gargoyle of the devil comes to life with deadly consequences to stop a campaign tohave it removed from the top of a church tower; a man receives a phone call from his wife who's been dead for 20 years, saying she'd like to meet him. She tells him she can save his life, but there's a price to pay. In other stories a mirror left in an empty house reveals a murder that took place there more than 100 years ago, but a terrible fate awaits the man who tries to solve it; two young friends visit a churchyard, hoping to see a ghost, but only one of them returns. A popular TV celebrity plans to launch his new show called 'You Lucky Devil' by spending 12 hours in a haunted house, but unluckily for him, it goes disastrously wrong; and a large sinkhole that suddenly appears in a busy main road, leads to a network of tunnels deep underground. What emerges from them are monstrous creatures that have acquired a taste for blood.

The title poem of this collection, Robert Wells's first since the Collected Poems and Translations of 2009, revisits in memory the site of the once great Etruscan city of Veii. There as a child the poet discovered an incised potsherd: 'Was that the day when antiquity / – The place where all is over and done – / Took ineluctable hold of me?' The poems return to familiar places and themes from a later 'now', a revised perspective: memories are real, perhaps more vivid than before, but further off, measuring time and age. Ancient coins abound. In 'The Coin Cabinet' they are conjured in their variety by means of a series of epithetic evocations, so that one does not doubt their reality, or the complex mythology they evoke and the economy rooted in long traditions and rich in known, shared narratives. 'Robert Wells's language is exact, the experience of the poem is deeply gone through,' Thom Gunn wrote, 'there is a constant desire to adhere to the truth as he apprehended it rather than to glamorize it. The inexpressible becomes expressed.'

Robert Wells släpper nu boken som tar er med bland blod, svett och mängder av toner. Med mer än 50 år vid pianot och på en resa från lastbilsflak till utsålda arenor. Ekonomiska floppar blandat med stora succéer, tv-serier och utsålda hus. Hur bråk med lärare blev starten av idén till "Rhapsody in Rock". Om konsten att vara entreprenör, kapellmästare och företagsledare i en bransch helt utan fallskärmar. - Det är ett större jubileumsår för mig med 50 år vid pianot och 30 år med "Rhapsody In Rock". I nya boken tar jag upp många minnen och ideér runt musiken. Möten med publik, vänner, musikanter, roddare och artister. Lite som en berg och dalbane-berättelse i en musikers huvud, säger Robert Wells

A story that brings tears to your eyes, in more ways than one. It touches you so much you it makes you want to cross your legs in sympathy - Nev Fountain, writer at Dead Ringers, author of PainkillerRob Wells has spent much of his adult life coping with chronic pain of different kinds - an embarrassing bowel problem in his early 20s, recurring testicular pain in his late 20s and 30s, and back problems requiring spinal surgery in his early 40s. Consistent through these experiences has been a feeling of being passed from pillar to post by the medical community, seemingly at a loss to explain the cause of these issues, or to find a lasting solution for them. This hilarious and brutally frank graphic memoir tells Rob's story, taking us through emergency surgery for a misdiagnosed twisted testicle, the extremes of weight loss and weight gain, the insides of far too many public toilets, and having to resort to walking with a cane. As Rob's back, sack and crack all became causes for concern so too did his brain, as his recurring problems unsurprisingly left him with depression and agoraphobia.This is the warm and witty story of a man's battle with his own body, and with the medical industry that couldn't quite appreciate the problem. For anyone who has ever felt let down by their doctors, or who has suffered with chronic pain that shows no sign of subsiding, Rob Wells bravely invites you to really get to grips with his balls.

Freshly baked bread is an incredibly evocative aroma, feeding in to a shared understanding of this versatile food which has been an important staple in our diet since the dawn of agriculture. There are probably few people who, were the question put to them directly, would not say that they consider bread one of the most, if not the most, important article of food. Throughout recorded history, bread’s popularity around the world has given it the reputation as one of mankind’s oldest artificial foods. In its various forms, bread has been made in almost every portion of the world and every period of time. Making bread was surely one of the first chemistry experiments and today remains a staple food throughout the world. In this informative volume, Sylvester Graham and Robert Wells take us from the history of bread all the way through to its properties, fermentation, preparation and the different varieties of this universal foodstuff.

Robert Wells writes poems of memory, a memory so intense it conjures places, objects and desires with their original force and freshness. The high points of a life are celebrated, and personal memories and the common memories of a culture are brought together. This collection of poetry and translations draws together the threads of his work in eight linked sections of sensuous evocation. There are poems set on the coast of Exmoor and in the hill country of central Italy; some concerned with erotic friendship, with travel and landscape. In the final two sections, his celebrated translations of Virgil's Georgics and the Idylls of Theocritus fuse lived experience with a deep knowledge of the original texts.
