  Tokyo is a city of contrasts—where centuries-old temples stand in the shadow of neon skyscrapers, and serene gardens coexist with the world’s busiest crossings. From sushi breakfasts at Tsukiji Market to late-night ramen in Shinjuku, Tokyo’s food scene alone is reason enough to visit. But this metropolis offers so much more: cutting-edge design, quirky subcultures, and timeless traditions. 
  In this book, Mark Ferdinand takes you on a journey through Tokyo’s many layers—its art, its fashion, its rituals, and its boundless energy. Whether you’re drawn to the cherry blossoms of spring, the buzz of Akihabara, or the quiet charm of a tea ceremony, discover why Tokyo isn’t just a destination—it’s an experience like no other.

  Can dolls really become haunted? Can demons take possession of people’s playthings? According to many paranormal investigators, exorcists, and demonologists, the answer is yes. Not only are such phenomena possible, they happen often, with dolls among the most frequent targets of spirit attachment. Sometimes those spirits are benign or merely mischievous. But many are outright evil and dangerous.
   
  
   
  This newly revised and expanded edition of Demonic Dolls examines some of the world’s most famous haunted dolls. It includes updates on documented cases and introduces five new dolls and their disturbing histories.
   
  
   
  Here is some of what you’ll find inside:
   
  
  
  Robert, the haunted doll from Key West. Much of the information about him is wrong. Discover the truth behind the legend—and it’s no less terrifying.
  
  
  Annabelle, the demonic doll featured in The Conjuring and Annabelle. The real Annabelle is far more frightening.
  
  
  Peggy, the Internet sensation. Why you should think twice before looking at her picture.
  
  
  Elizabeth, a Victorian bridal beauty known as “England’s most haunted doll.” Be especially careful visiting her if you’re a man.
  
  
  Discover which exotic tourist attraction is a pediophobe’s worst nightmare. You won’t believe it exists.
  
  
  Clown dolls. Need more be said?
  
   
  
   
  These stories and more fill this collection of true accounts from the world of haunted, possessed, and cursed dolls. This book may raise more questions than it answers, but one thing is certain: you’ll never look at a doll the same way again.

  Even More Ketchup than Salsa -...

  A must-read reality check for anybody who has ever pondered making a new life abroad 
  "Pure enjoyment!" 
  "Another corker from Mr Cawley" 
  "Couldn't put it down. Made me happy, made me sad, made me happy some more. Really, really good book. Can't wait for the next installment!" 
  "Funny, emotional and identifiable, loved every minute..." 
  The first six months of running the Smugglers Tavern had been a baptism of fire. The subsequent years were about as much fun as bobbing for apples in a vat of acid. 
  Having swapped the tin roof of a cold British fish market for the sunny skies of Tenerife, one of Spain's holiday islands, Joe and Joy succeeded in thwarting the first wave of attacks from bungling bureaucrats, bewildered holidaymakers and their own spectacular ineptitude. 
  What they didn’t realise was that their enemies were regrouping. Not only that, but those enemies had made camp a lot closer to home, enemies that would make their encounters with exploding gas bottles, East European squatters and big-time Charlies seem like chapters from a children's picture book. 
  Dreams are shattered, relationships left in tatters and sanity is tested in this prize-winning travel and humour memoir in this revelation about what it's really like when you try to make a better life for yourself overseas.Recent reviews..."Beautifully observed, laugh-out-loud funny in parts and heartbreakingly emotional in others. If you've ever lived abroad, particularly in Spain, this book has something in it for you.""Hilarious all the way through and tinged with the slightest of sadness in parts.""The humour reminds me a lot of Deric Longden's equally poignant books and plays, especially the bits about Joe's gran and Buster the cat. Would make a great film.""Loved this book! Laughed and cried... Honest and compelling read."
