Sinossi

In "Where England Sets Her Feet," Bernard Capes crafts a compelling narrative that intricately weaves historical drama with elements of psychological depth and vivid landscape description. Set against the backdrop of late 19th-century England, the book delves into the lives of its characters, exploring themes of identity, place, and the inexorable passage of time. Capes'Äô lyrical prose and keen observations of human nature invite readers to navigate the layered complexities of belonging and alienation, using England itself as both setting and character, deeply influencing the narrative arc. Bernard Capes, a novelist and poet of the Victorian era, possessed a keen interest in the intersection of nature and human emotion, which is evident in this work. His background in geology and appreciation for the physical landscapes of England greatly informed his writing, allowing him to paint a rich, immersive picture that evokes both nostalgia and a sense of wonder. The author'Äôs own travels and experiences throughout the English countryside imbue the novel with authenticity and depth, drawing the reader into a world that feels both familiar and hauntingly distant. I highly recommend "Where England Sets Her Feet" to readers who appreciate richly rendered landscapes intertwined with profound psychological explorations. Capes'Äô masterful storytelling and lyrical style not only captivate the imagination but also encourage reflection on the relationships between individuals and their environments, making this novel a timeless contribution to the literary canon.

    This 14th installment of the Jerry McNeal Series has Jerry and Gunter heading to Texas. 
    Along the way, Jerry finds himself dealing with unexpected visitors who challenge his patience and further test his psychic abilities. 
    Among the visitors is the ghostly spirit of Texas Ranger, Clive Tisdale, who is not a fan of dogs, refuses to tell Jerry why he is there, and if his presence has anything to do with Texas Ranger Raymond Hale. 
    Raymond Hale oversaw mob informant Antonio Maioriello until both men went missing years earlier and were presumed dead until recent weeks when Maioriello’s image started showing up in tourist photos taken outside the Alamo. 
    At first, this was presumed to be a camera malfunction, as no one recalled him being present at the time the photos were taken. 
    Then Maioriello showed up in a photo with the niece of Bruno Deluca – the man Maioriello informed on before being placed in the witness relocation program, and Deluca used his influence to demand answers. 
    Now, not only must Jerry locate the spirit who is causing the chaos, he must convince Bruno Deluca that Maioriello is truly dead. 
    Will Jerry and Gunter get to the Alamo in time to defend it from another invasion? 
    Will Tisdale change his stance about dogs? 
    Find out in Star Treatment – book 14 of The Jerry McNeal Series.

    The story, set in an unnamed Italian city at carnival time, is about a man taking fatal revenge on a friend who, he believes, has insulted him. Like several of Poe's stories, and in keeping with the 19th-century fascination with the subject, the narrative follows a person being buried alive – in this case, by immurement. As in "The Black Cat" and "The Tell-Tale Heart", Poe conveys the story from the murderer's perspective.

    In a history where war's darkness intertwines with ancient terrors, John Cody and the soldiers by his side, fight a hopeless battle across a darkened 1940's Europe. What begins as a quest to liberate a fallen world quickly reveals an even deeper nightmare: towns and cities swallowed by silence, histories erased, and an unearthly presence lurking in the void. 
    Beneath the horrors of war, a more terrifying question looms: if God be for us, then who, or what, be against us? In this realm of unfathomable darkness, Cody must confront forces beyond mortal comprehension, fighting not just for survival, but for the very soul of mankind itself. 
    In this haunting convergence of war, horror, and human resilience, the line between salvation and damnation blurs. To stave off the fall of man, he must unravel the darkness, before it devours everything. 
    "A soul-shattering journey into ancient, celestial terror and a haunting twist on mankind's darkest moments." Adrian B - Independent Reviewer.
