Summary

Poetry and the Gods is a short story by horror writer and poet H.P. Lovecraft in collaboration with writer Anna Helen Crofts. The story is very different from the vast majority of Lovecraft's other work and collaborations. It does, however, bear similar themes regarding dreams as a doorway to magic realms, and slumbering gods.
The narrative follows the dream-voyage of Marcia, a young woman filled with weariness of the mundane world and all its woes. She resolves to ease her troubled soul by reading a magazine of poetry. As she does, a dream-state unfolds in which the Greek god Hermes appears and bears Marcia to the court of Zeus and the Olympians.
Available since: 05/09/2018.

    *Sometimes the people you admire most have the most to hide…* 
Loyal, lovable, (sometimes goofy) Steve is delighted to hear that reputed hero Harry Jenkins will be paying his school a visit. However, his competent but strong-willed friend Alex is not so thrilled. After Alex *mysteriously seems to run away from the town*, Steve decides to pursue her to find out what is the matter. He can barely contain his excitement when Harry “the Hero” Jenkins agrees to join him on his quest to find Alex! 
That is, until he finds out Harry Jenkins isn't the hero he is cracked up to be. Steve and Harry trek through forests and mountains in their pursuit of Alex, when they finally catch a lead – it seems she has traveled deep into the mountains. The only thing left to do is to follow in her footsteps and find her, or at least that is what Steve thinks… 
What is waiting on the other side of the mountain for Steve? Will he be able to find Alex and return safely? What is Harry Jenkins hiding underneath his hero facade? Only time will tell when you read 
“The Hero”.A story of friendship and compassion, “The Hero” will entertain the reader while keeping them on the edge of their seat – a perfect combination for your child, even if they don't like to read!

    Do you hear the beasts scratching at the door? They’ve been sleeping too long, and now they’re getting feisty. Do you ever wonder how to be wild and free again? 
Through a mash-up of poetry and comic fiction this book weaves a narrative of how we can all become wild and free again. Looking at life through the eyes of Sloth, Bear, Koala, and even Blob Fish, these animals tell the stories of the raw beauty of life on our planet, encouraging us to let go of fear, stick our fingers/paws up at societal pressure, and accept our beautifully flawed bodies and minds to empower us to love ourselves and one another with abandon.
