Description:
A forgotten story is a legend undiscovered.
The rambling obsessions of a long dead relative or something more? When Gabe receives the battered leather journal of his great-grandfather, Archy, he is filled with disbelief. Pages filled with stories of a mythical monster called The Magdon, Gabe casts aside the diary as the by-product of a troubled mind. That is until the madness begins to take shape in Gabe and his family's lives. Finding it hard to ignore Gabe visits an old family friend who reveals that the ramblings of Archy may not be as made-up as he wants to believe. As the mysterious world begins to take shape, Gabe finds himself and his family hunted by masked invaders who seem hell bent on recovering the diary and secrets contained within. Suddenly, hunted by members of a mysterious organisation, Gabe and his two children must embrace the truth in Archy's words as his wife Sara is kidnapped and held to ransom. Discovering secrets hidden in plain sight and embarking upon a journey that will change them all, forever, they rediscover the legacy of Archy and what it stands for. Watched at every turn, the family must make a simple choice. Surrender their discoveries and risk the rebirth of The Magdon or else accept their fate and stand tall against the darkness. INTO THE DARK is a twisting journey of rediscovery and growth following Gabe and his family as they come to realise we know nothing of the dark world that exists alongside our own. A world of monsters and death that, if released and resurrected, would threaten the existence of humanity.
Born from a five-part series of short novelettes INTO THE DARK seeks to bring the myth surrounding The Magdon to a new generation. Bringing the beast along with her twisted and mysterious world into the twenty-first century brings with it a whole new adventure.
Exploring more of the depth surrounding the things we ignore that live in the shadows. Submit yourself to learning the truth behind the shadows and embark on a wonderfully adventurous and exciting ride that is INTO THE DARK.

[b]From The New York Times baseball columnist, an enchanting, enthralling history of the national pastime as told through the craft of pitching, based on years of archival research and interviews with more than three hundred people from Hall of Famers to the stars of today.[/b]
The baseball is an amazing plaything. We can grip it and hold it so many different ways, and even the slightest calibration could turn an ordinary pitch into a weapon to thwart the greatest hitters in the world. Each pitch has its own history, evolving through the decades as the masters pass it down to the next generation. From the earliest days of the game, when Candy Cummings dreamed up the curveball while flinging clamshells on a Brooklyn beach, pitchers have never stopped innovating.
In K: A History of Baseball in Ten Pitches, Tyler Kepner traces the colorful stories and fascinating folklore behind the ten major pitches. Each chapter highlights a different pitch,...

Description:
Who would have thought being smart could be so hard (and funny)? Millicent Min is having a bad summer. Her fellow high school students hate her for setting the curve. Her fellow 11-year-olds hate her for going to high school. And her mother has arranged for her to tutor Stanford Wong, the poster boy for Chinese geekdom. But then Millie meets Emily. Emily doesn't know Millicent's IQ score. She actually thinks Millie is cool. And if Millie can hide her awards, ignore her grandmother's advice, swear her parents to silence, blackmail Stanford, and keep all her lies straight, she just might make her first friend. What's it gong to take? Sheer genius.

Description:
As dusk approaches, a former surgeon goes about closing up his dilapidated clinic in rural India. His day, like all his days, has been long and hard. His medical supplies arrive late if at all, the electrics in the clinic threaten to burn out at any minute, and his overseer, a corrupt government official, blackmails and extorts him. It is thankless work, but the surgeon has long given up any hope of reward in this life.
That night, as the surgeon completes his paperwork, he is visited by a family - a teacher, his heavily pregnant wife and their young son. Victims of a senseless attack, they reveal to the surgeon wounds that they could not possibly have survived.
And so the surgeon finds himself faced with a preposterous task: to mend the wounds of the dead family before sunrise so that they may return to life. But this is not the only challenge laid before the surgeon, and as the night unfolds he realises his future is tied more closely to that of the dead family...

Description:
New York Times bestselling author and committed constitutionalconservative Senator Mike Lee reveals the little-known stories behind theFounder's takedown of a tyrannical king and the forgotten document thatcreated America.
There is perhaps no more powerful sentence in human history, written inPhiladelphia in the oppressively hot summer of 1776: "We hold these truths tobe self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed bytheir Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life,Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness."
Despite the earth-shattering power of Jefferson's simple sentence and thedocument in which it is found, many Americans today don't understand orappreciate the Declaration's gravity. As a result, we have lost touch withmuch of what makes our country so special: the distinctly American belief inthe dignity of every human soul.
Our nation was born in an act of rebellion against an all-powerful government.In Our Lost Declaration , Senator Mike Lee tells the dramatic, little-knownstories of the offenses committed by the British crown against its ownsubjects. From London's attempts to shut down colonial legislatures to haulingJohn Hancock before a court without a jury, the abuses of a strong centralgovernment were felt far and wide. They spurred our Founders to risk theirlives in defense of their rights, and their efforts established a vision ofpolitical freedom that would change the course of history.
Lee shares new insights into the personalities who shaped that vision, suchas:
*   Thomas Paine, a populist radical who nearly died making his voyagefrom Great Britain to the colonies before writing his revolutionary pamphlet,Common Sense.
  Edmund Randolph, who defied his Loyalist family and served in theVirginia convention that voted for independence
**   Thomas Jefferson, who persevered through a debilitating healthcrisis to pen the document that would officially begin the Americanexperiment.
Senator Lee makes vividly clear how many abuses of federal power today arerooted in neglect of the Declaration, including federal overreach thatcorrupts state legislatures, the judicial system, and even internationaltrade. By rediscovering the Declaration, we can remind our leaders inWashington D.C. that they serve us--not the other way around.

Description:
How do you win a soccer game when you're not just playing against the other team, but your captain too?
When Hunter Hercules, the biggest soccer star in the Northlands, is transferred to play in the Motherlands, he's mad as hell. Not only is their style of soccer different, but they have mixed teams and his female captain, Emanuela, calls him unsophisticated and claims that she's a better player than him. What a fucking joke!
The whole thing is ridiculous and infuriating to Hunter. That's why when the soccer club sends all the players on a team-building trip, Hunter shows up determined to put the little woman in her place. It should have been easy, but Emanuela isn't a normal sweet Motlander he can push around. She's competitive to the bone, and when Hunter plays dirty she's fast to adapt and hit him back tenfold.
Someone should have warned her not to mess with an Nman.
The Athlete is book #8 in Elin Peer's highly praised series Men of the North. Readers call these books "unputdownable" because of the sharp dialogue, fast pace, and depths of the characters.
If you like strong women, alpha males, and a roller-coaster ride of emotions, then this romantic sci-fi is a safe pick for you.

Description:
When Katie Peck went west in the year 1912 looking for her very own cowboy she had no idea it would take her seven long years to lasso him. She also didn't know she'd need to use every bit of her wit and knowledge of the law to free him from a hanging offence to seal the deal. This is a charming yet suspenseful story of how determined a woman can get when she wants something strongly enough...especially when she's a spitfire redhead.

Description:
'One of my absolute favourite writers' Decca Aitkenhead
Who would we be without stories?
Stories mould who we are, from our character to our cultural identity. They drive us to act out our dreams and ambitions, and shape our politics and beliefs. We use them to construct our relationships, to keep order in our law courts, to interpret events in our newspapers and social media. Storytelling is an essential part of what makes us human.
There have been many attempts to understand what makes a good story - from Joseph Campbell's well-worn theories about myth and archetype to recent attempts to crack the 'Bestseller Code'. But few have used a scientific approach. This is curious, for if we are to truly understand storytelling in its grandest sense, we must first come to understand the ultimate storyteller - the human brain.
In this scalpel-sharp, thought-provoking book, Will Storr demonstrates how master storytellers manipulate and compel us, leading us on a journey from the Hebrew scriptures to Mr Men, from Booker Prize-winning literature to box set TV. Applying dazzling psychological research and cutting-edge neuroscience to the foundations of our myths and archetypes, he shows how we can use these tools to tell better stories - and make sense of our chaotic modern world.

Review

'Will Storr is unparalleled in his skills in translation from psychology and neuroscience to real lives, and he writes beautifully' Professor Sophie Scott, Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience
'Storr is irascibly good company, and has something approaching genius for marshalling his material' Sunday Times
'Brilliant . There aren't many authors who can range so confidently across disciplines and, if you go with the flow, you'll encounter some fascinating nuggets along the way' Evening Standard
'Storr can open chapters like a stage conjurer, and his prose has an easy, laconic style . a funny and companionable guide who confounds expectations' Guardian
'Storr has done huge amounts of research . he conveys it with a gifted lightness of touch that is wry and funny . entertaining and fascinating' The Times
'A talented, ambitious writer' Independent
