    The stereotypical image of a poet is one of unknown talent starving in a garret and who’s faithfulness and legacy to the art is discovered only after their death. 
    In some cases this is undoubtedly true, but Poets being human and with the same building blocks of physical and mental health as the rest of us, also had the same afflictions and problems as the rest of us.   
    The long roll call of names and the truncated legacies that were left behind is filled with these lost talents. 
    In this volume we bring together the poems and verse of those wordsmiths whose lives were blighted by tuberculosis, then more commonly known as consumption, and its debilitating and usually terminal effects.   
    The long roll call and the truncated legacies that were left behind are filled with the names of these lost talents.

    'Nothing compares with being the first person in the history of the world to see something, but timing is everything. The world has to be ready for you.'
    Boston, 1956. Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin, one of the most eminent astronomers of the twentieth century, is about to be appointed Chair of Astronomy and the first woman to head a department at Harvard University. Only two things stand in her way: a covert investigation aimed at exposing her as a Communist sympathiser, and the entrenched conservatism of her male colleagues.
    When a student journalist asks to profile her, it feels like an opportunity to control her own narrative – assuming, of course, that the invitation is actually what it seems…
    Stella Feehily's play The Lightest Element is a taut drama exploring how a challenge to social norms can be almost as difficult as overturning scientific orthodoxy. It premiered at Hampstead Theatre, London, in 2024, directed by Alice Hamilton.

    It's the last day of school, and Amber bunks off to go partying with a raggle-taggle group of friends: the geeks, the queer kids, the school dropouts.
    But even in this group, it can be a struggle to fit in.

As they tumble through time and space, will they finally find somewhere they belong?

    What is the Ghost in the Box? 
    An urban legend states that if you watch television alone late at night, you might come across the “Ghost in the Box.” It appears in the white noise when programming has ended for the night, but this is most certainly no regular program. And if you happen to see it, then you’ll only have three more days until “she” comes for you. 
    Who is this ghost? Why is she killing people who happen across her late at night? And is there any way to escape once you’ve seen her on screen…? 
    Click the buy now button to uncover the secrets behind this terrifying urban legend right now. 
    Reiwa Tanpen is a series of stand-alone Japanese horror, mystery, and thriller novellas and short stories for the new era. Featuring Japanese ghosts, curses, killers, yokai, urban legends, and much more, each story can be read independently of the rest.
