Sinopsis

In "The Dancing Faun," Florence Farr melds elements of symbolism and modernist literary techniques to explore the thematic intricacies of desire, transformation, and the quest for identity. Set against a backdrop that fluctuates between the mystical and the sensual, the narrative follows its protagonist as she encounters the transformative power of love and the allure of artistic expression. Farr's lyrical prose is imbued with rich imagery, inviting readers to probe the intricate relationships between art, nature, and the human psyche, reflective of her broader engagement with the fin-de-siècle search for meaning in a rapidly changing world. Florence Farr was an influential figure within the London literary scene and a notable member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Her involvement in mysticism and the occult greatly informed her literary work, encouraging a deep engagement with themes of spirituality and the unconscious. Having written plays and essays that often traversed the boundaries between the metaphysical and the expressive, Farr channels her expansive intellectual interests into this evocative narrative, offering a glimpse into the transformative power of both art and love. Readers drawn to literature that deftly intertwines the mystical with the everyday will find "The Dancing Faun" an essential addition to their collection. It invites contemplation on the nature of existence and creativity, all while providing a beautifully crafted narrative rich in emotional depth. This book promises to resonate with those who appreciate a blend of modernism and symbolism in an exploration of personal and artistic metamorphosis.

    Something is amiss with the world's magic. Spells don't work the way they used to—when they work at all. Only the powers of the Crystal Mages remain as they were, powers founded on the use of the mystical element adamis, the harvesting of which has enslaved the peoples of the Twilight Lands. Ravenous beasts have begun to appear, legendary creatures that seem to be proof against any magic. And Clea Stylachos, granddaughter of a great sage of the Twilight people, has reason to fear that the Crystal Mages, instead of seeking to defeat these monsters, are attempting to weaponize them in their quest for power. 
     
     
     
    Clea's only hope to save her people is a wizard who retains his power, one who will not betray her. But that wizard—Ithrazel the Cursed—wants nothing to do with saving the world, helping a hero, or unraveling the terrible secret at the heart of the Crystal Mages' plans. Clea works to untwist the deadly riddles of magic and monsters—to free her mother's disenfranchised people from slavery under her father's conquering forces. To save her mageborn brother from the Crystal Mages' power; to control a sorcerer legendary for his deed of evil; to keep her own small band of friends one step ahead of her father's troops and the Crystal Order's spells. She is the Iron Princess, and she knows she must prevail or die.

    Bodies stack when Sasquatch is on crack! 
    When a popular social media sensation and renowned bigfoot hunter goes missing, her friends pickup on an important clue as to her disappearance when one of them discovers a camera with digital proof of the existence of Bigfoot in the Appalachian Mountains where she and her cameraman went missing a few days earlier. 
    Now the hunt is on to find the illusive cryptid and hopefully bring their friend back. As the band of trackers hit the mountain on this ambitious quest, one of the team harbors a dark secret. Little do the others know that one of them is addicted to a deadly synthetically altered version of crack, known on the street as Agent Orange, because it both looks like orange candy and turns its users’ eyes a hellish orange color. 
    What makes the drug so nefarious, however is that it causes a high number of its users to become enraged; prone to fits of uncontrollable violence. These violent episodes are enhanced when consumed by animals, where they have no civilized willpower against becoming raging killers themselves, attacking anything – and anyone – in their path! 
    Consequently, this expedition to the mountains will become an expedition to hell itself once the team realizes that not only are they about to find the ever-so-sought-after and (believed to be) beloved Bigfoot, but now are dealing with a raging, psychopathic Sasquatch, who has gotten ahold of the dangerous drug. 
    Warning: this book contains language and literary depictions of scenes some readers may find offensive. It is not intended for children. Reader discretion is advised.

    Good quotes from The Man Who Sold The World 
    "The US president has met the new rulers of the Earth," said the tv. 
    On the tv was President Biden looking nervously at a mean looking grey alien. 
    "I can't believe they surrendered to the X-zeraciens," said Blake. 
    "Is this the start of world war 3?" asked Biden. 
    "I know about Putin he won't win," said The King of the Earth. 
    "Ok who are you guys!" said Biden. 
    The translator shrugged. 
    "... the Emperor of The Universe and his Judge!" 
    "Come on, man! You aren't more of them," said the president. 
    "No, they are invaders we are the owners of the Earth," Blake said. 
    The aliens translator looked nervous. 
    "You know of us what did he do?" ask The King the celestial emperor. 
    "He gave us this planet," said the alien. 
    "They kidnapped me," said the translator. 
    "You gave us this world to get back here and work with us here," said the grey. 
    "He's a conman," said Blake.

    This acclaimed fantasy classic of men, elves, and gods is at once breathtakingly exciting and heartbreakingly tragic. 
     
     
     
    Poul Anderson's novel The Broken Sword draws on similar Scandinavian and Anglo-Saxon sources as The Fellowship of the Ring. In his greed for land and power, Orm the Strong slays the family of a Saxon witch—and for his sins, the Northman must pay with his newborn son. Stolen by elves and replaced by a changeling, Skafloc is raised to manhood unaware of his true heritage and treasured for his ability to handle the iron that the elven dare not touch. Meanwhile, the being who supplanted him as Orm's son grows up angry and embittered by the humanity he has been denied. A pawn in a witch's vengeance, the creature Valgard will never know love, and consumed by rage, he will commit a murderous act of unspeakable vileness. 
     
     
      
    It is their destiny to finally meet on the field of battle—the man-elf and his dark twin, the monster—when the long-simmering war between elves and trolls finally erupts with a devastating fury. And only the mighty sword Tyrfing, broken by Thor and presented to Skafloc in infancy, can turn the tide in a terrible clashing of faerie folk that will ultimately determine the fate of the old gods.
