In the fourth tale in this beloved series, villainous Sebastian Eels returns to Eerie-on-Sea, thrusting Herbie and Violet into a new adventure involving a missing girl, a spooky wax museum, and a dangerous clockwork robot. Herbie Lemon, Lost-and-Founder at the Grand Nautilus Hotel, and his fearless friend Violet Parma have unearthed many secrets in their village of Eerie-on-Sea: secrets lurking beneath the waves, lapping onto the beaches, and lying behind locked doors. When their brilliant and ruthless nemesis, Sebastian Eels, returns with a plan to open the long-shuttered waxworks museum, Herbie and Violet suspect nefarious motives. Their investigation leads them into the dark Netherways below the town--and into the tragic past of the famous toymaker and inventor Ludovic Festergrimm and his doomed daughter, Pandora. Sebastian Eels is convinced that within the story of Festergrimm is the key to Eerie's deepest secret--a secret in which Herbie himself plays a crucial part--and he'll stop at nothing to uncover it, including bringing a terrifying clockwork legend back to life. With echoes of fairy tales and monster movies, plus a dismembered finger or two, this is a deliciously creepy addition to a fantastical mystery series that is perfectly calibrated to thrill middle-grade readers.

Fjärde boken om Avgrundens Havsbad av författaren till MalamanderNär Herberts och Violets ärkefiende Sebastian Åhl dyker upp i Avgrundens Havsbad, till synes återuppstånden från de döda, kan det bara innebära riktigt dåliga nyheter. Stadsborna välkomnar visserligen hans plan att väcka liv i Festergrimms vaxfigurer, ett dammigt, nedlagt galleri med kusliga karaktärer ur stadens sägner, men de två vännerna är misstänksamma. Och när de får höra legenden om leksaksmakaren Ludo Festergrimm och hans jättelika mekaniska robot som skapade förödelse när den hamnade i fel händer - ja, då vet de att de är på rätt spår. Men hur ska de få invånarna i Avgrundens Havsbad att tro på dem? I översättning av Jan Risheden.THOMAS TAYLOR, har alltid bott nära havet (fast det är inte så svårt på Brittiska öarna). Han kommer från en gammal släkt av sjöfarare men valde en karriär som illustratör eftersom en sådan inte så ofta blir blöt och får godare kakor. Hans första professionella illustrationsuppdrag, direkt efter konstskolan, var omslagsbilden till Harry Potter och de vises sten. Efter det koncentrerade han sig på bilderböcker, tills han äntligen vågade sig på att skriva själv. Att förvandla kakor till böcker visade sig vara ännu roligare när man får skapa själva berättelsen också. För närvarande bor Thomas på Englands sydkust, där det finns gott om spöktåg och vaxkabinett. Han inspirerades till att skriva de läskiga »inlåsta« delarna av den här boken när han besökte ett vaxkabinett en sen eftermiddag och stod lite för stilla vid stängningsdags.

On the Mysteries of the Egyptians, Chaldeans, and Assyrians, also known as the Theurgia and under its abbreviated Latin title De Mysteriis Aegyptiorum, is a work of Neoplatonic philosophy primarily concerned with ritual and theurgy and attributed to Iamblichus.

Thomas Taylor (1758-1835) was the very first to translate the complete works of Plato and Aristotle into English. But it is because he was not merely a scholar-concerned exclusively with linguistic matters-but primarily a Neo-Platonic philosopher, who devoted his whole life to sifting the esoteric spirit out of the dead letter, that his translations are often favoured in occult circles instead of others, whose greater linguistic precision may often be achieved at the expense of the esoteric baggage and philosophical heritage. So deep was the love and passion that Taylor professed for the philosophy of the ancients that he only communicated with his wife in classical Greek. And so honest was his understanding that-despite the enmity and ridicule to which he was often exposed-he never doubted to publicly denounce the superficiality and corruption into which Christianity had fallen. In this beautifully illustrated dissertation-which in the present edition we offer with additional annotations by Sonchis Triacorda-Thomas Taylor approaches the mystical secrets surrounding those hierophantic Sacred Mysteries that the most venerable ancient philosophers often praised.

In the third mysterious tale of Eerie-on-Sea, it's almost Ghastly Night, and the Shadowghast--an ancient spirit in a lantern--lurks in wait for the power to enslave the town. In this third adventure, shipwrecked orphan Herbert Lemon, Lost-and-Founder at the Grand Nautilus Hotel, must square off with a creature of town lore as he confronts a shadow from his past. While other towns celebrate Halloween, in Eerie-on-Sea it's Ghastly Night, and a grim spirit in a lantern awaits its moment. Legend has it that if people fail to light manglewick candles on Ghastly Night, and if no showman conjures shadow puppets on the pier as an offering, the insulted Shadowghast will seize and devour the shadows of the living. This year, a professional theater troupe has been summoned, including a raven-haired magician named Caliastra with startling news of Herbie's origins. No sooner have the players checked into the hotel than townspeople start vanishing into thin air, including the guardian of Herbie's best friend, Violet Parma. It's up to Herbie and Violet to separate truth from sleight of hand and solve the mystery of the Shadowghast lantern before darkness swallows them all.

Det er vinter i den lille kystbyen Illevik. Tåka ligger tykk, og sjøsprøyten står rundt veggene på Grand Hotell Nautilus. Nede i hotellets lune kjeller sitter hotellets hittegodsforvalter, tolv år gamle Herbert Lemon, foran peisen. Han skal snart få uventet besøk: Violet Parma, en uredd jente på hans egen alder, kommer plutselig klatrende inn gjennom kjellervinduet på hittegodskontoret. Violets foreldre har vært sporløst forsvunnet siden hun overnattet med dem på hotellet som liten, og hun er overbevist om at Herbert er den eneste som kan finne dem igjen. Problemet er bare at Violet forfølges av en skummel mann med en krok til hånd. Og alt tyder på at sagnet om Malamanderen, monsteret som kan gjøre drømmer til virkelighet, er sant ... Malamanderen er en eventyrlig og overnaturlig historie full av fargerike og egenrådige karakterer. Boken er den første boken i Thomas Taylors serie om mysteriene i Illevik. Serien har gjort stor suksess internasjonalt og blir i disse dager filmatisert av Sony Pictures. Boken er oversatt av Merete Franz.
