Journeys Into The Unknown

Jaz Bianni

Jaz was born into a life of warmth and absolute love. Cherished by her parents and fiercely protected by her two older brothers, Mashir and Alex, her life was supposed to be a fairy tale. But for Jaz, the waking world was never safe. 
 
This gripping memoir follows Jaz from her childhood in Pakistan to the United States, documenting how these mysterious encounters grow more frequent, complex, and profound. Discover "high strangeness" of her life, where nature itself speak, as owls and crows act as messengers from another realm. 
 
It started at age four - flickers in the shadows, whispers in the silence, and things that went bump in the night that no one else could hear. Her family, loving and rational, dismissed it all as a harmless childhood imagination, confident it would pass. 
 
They were wrong. As Jaz grows, the benign shadows turn into terrifying, otherworldly entities. The paranormal experiences escalate from unsettling encounters to heart-stopping, high strangeness events that defy logic. Caught between a loving home life and a secret, supernatural hell, Jaz is isolated in her fear, the only one seeing the true horror stalking her life. 
 
This is a journey into the deepest, darkest unknown. The puzzle of her existence is growing, and the stakes are far higher than anyone imagined. Jaz must piece together the clues behind these malicious entities before the final pieces fall into place - because time is running out.

The Uncommercial Traveller

Charles Dickens

The Uncommercial Traveller is a collection of literary sketches and reminiscences written by Charles Dickens. In 1859 Dickens founded a new journal called All the Year Round and the Uncommercial Traveller articles would be among his main contributions. He seems to have chosen the title and persona of the Uncommercial Traveller as a result of a speech he gave on the 22 December 1859 to the Commercial Travellers' School London in his role as honorary chairman and treasurer. The persona sits well with a writer who liked to travel, not only as a tourist, but also to research and report what he found; visiting Europe, America and giving book readings throughout Britain. He does not seem content to rest late in his career when he had attained wealth and comfort and continued travelling locally, walking the streets of London in the mould of the flâneur, a 'gentleman stroller of city streets'. He often suffered from insomnia and his night-time wanderings gave him an insight into some of the hidden aspects of Victorian London, details of which he also incorporated into his novels.
