  Will this killer scare him to death or kill him? 
  Lance Alexander Sr sat singing along with his car radio as he waited to pick up his son Jr. He was totally distracted by the music. He didn't see the man jump in his car til it was too late. "What are you doing in my car," said Lance noticing him. 
  "Drive!" said the stranger coldly. 
  "I'm waiting for my son hit the road, Jack!" said Lance he hadn't time for this guy. 
  "Forget him and drive," said the stranger pulling a gun on Lance. 
  "You don't want to do this mate!" warned Lance knowingly. 
  "do you think you're a magician?" asked the carjacker. 
  "I'm worse!" said Lance smiling darkly as he stared the car and sped off. Lance was worse than a magician they were heroes he was wanted by the police as a serial killer. 
  His son saw his car speed away. 
  "Okay I'll take myself home then!" said Jr shortly and disappeared into thin air teleporting home. 
  Meanwhile, in the car, the carjacker was terrified thinking he chose the wrong car to carjack. The owner was insane and had some sort of a death wish he was all over the road like a madman and had a devil-may-care attitude with the carjacker. 
  "Let me out of here? I'll not hurt you if you let me go," pleaded the carjacker who was petrified. 
  "You said you wanted me to drive," said Lance in a mock hurt tone as he locked the doors and drove on.

Now MacLeod delivers the culmination of his epic of a human future crammed with innumerable varieties of intelligent alien life, and in which humans find themselves involved in the politics of aliens as powerful and inscrutable as gods ... and entangled in their wars. For ten thousand years, Nova Babylonia has been the greatest city of the Second Sphere, an interstellar civilization of human and other beings who have been secretly removed, throughout history, from Earth. Now humans from the far reaches of the Sphere have come to offer immortality—and to urge them to build defenses against the alien invasion they know is coming. As humans and aliens compete and conspire, the wheels of history will lathe all the players into shapes new and surprising. The alien invasion will reach New Babylon at last—led by the most alien figure of all.

  Before W.B. Yeats wrote of the mystical in his poetry, Christina Rossetti wrote Goblin Market, also the title poem within the collection Goblin Market, The Prince’s Progress and Other Poems. The title poem is about two sisters, and the lesson learned when one does not heed the warning to mingle with those at the Goblin Market.   Rossetti’s collection blurred the lines between reality and imagination. Within this collection, Rossetti also has devotional poems, influenced by Rossetti’s religious background. The poem Sweet Death focuses on the church and the beauty between life and death.   Christina Rossetti’s poetry reflects the Pre-Raphaelite Period in the arts, which was started by her brother Dante Gabriel Rossetti and a handful of poets and artists, a style and movement that featured romantic poetry, ekphrastic pieces, and intense imagery.   Within Goblin Market, The Prince’s Progress and Other Poems includes a group of pastoral poems that capture and focus on the beauty of nature. For example The Lambs of Grasmere, 1860 feature the hardships of being a shepherd in 1860 and overcoming the potential loss of his herd. With beautiful imagery, Rossetti creates a sense of empathy with the reader and also gives a glimpse of her life and view of the world.    This collection brings to life the mystical world with themes of religion, love, and mystical wonder which tie together the message and beauty of Christina Rossetti’s poetry. This edition contains a foreword by award-winning author Fran Wilde.

  From Sean Brown, the author of The Kalen Chronicles: Redemption, comes an exciting adult fantasy where men become gods. 
  REUNITE ME. 
  A simple theft, a kingdom in turmoil, a diety imprisoned. When master thief Aren Kesik pickpockets a reality-transmuting bracelet, not even death can stop the steel-masked Charodin—the Overlord's secret police—from seizing it back. 
  Thrust into a revolution he didn't want, while mourning the brutal execution of the only family he's ever known, Aren joins two clever street urchins, and an exile atoning for his late father's forbidden magic, to reunite a fractured god and rescue Aren's re-emergent adopted brother from eternal subjugation. 
  Pursued by the bloodthirsty Charodin across land and sea, unfamiliar devotion and found family become Aren's only hope in a broken world. Failure to master his newfound powers, and the guilt over his father's death gnawing at his soul, would cost Aren more than just his brother's life—it would cost everything.
