  Like Wuthering Heights, the center of this story is a dramatic love triangle, the setting is a huge English manor. Olivia Marchmont has always "done her duty." However, when she falls in love and her beloved is in love with another woman, the malice of her heart is released in full view. In this dramatic tale, the vivid description of the country is also important- as if nature has a part in it. Unlike many novels, nobody gets what they deserve at the end. Or do they? Read and decide for yourself.

  A witty compendium of musings on modern life from two of Britain’s best-loved father and son humorists. 
   
  Ever unafraid to tackle the great matters of the day—and even more at home in the company of the apparently trivial—Oliver Pritchett might lament the lost art of how to end a tedious phone conversation, report on his investigations into the world’s “superfruits,” or answer such a pressing question as, How does one spot a Bank Holiday? Why do we clap at things that don’t need applause? or, What is the correct protocol should Prince William land a helicopter in one’s garden? 
   
  Anthologized for the first time, and illustrated by his son Matt’s brilliantly witty cartoons, Oliver’s writings reflect upon just how quaint, odd and beautifully absurd life is. 
   
  So we invite you to sit back and enjoy this whimsical and comical collection of curious contemplations, which quite simply, well, “Just occured to me . . .”

  Famous for his superhuman strength, Hercules is the most popular hero in Greek mythology. The son of Zeus—king of the gods—and a mortal mother, Hercules faces the wrath of Zeus's wife Hera, who resents her illegitimate stepson and vows to bring him misery. With her magical powers, she tricks Hercules into performing a series of twelve seemingly impossible labors, each one a test of his strength, courage, cunning, and fighting skill. Is Hercules strong enough to foil her scheme? For this exciting retelling of the twelve labors, author Paul Storrie consulted the classic work The Age of Fable (1859), by American Thomas Bulfinch, and Edith Hamilton's Mythology (1942), both of which are considered the best resources about on ancient myths and legends. Artist Steve Kurth also relied on historical research to accurately bring to life the world of ancient Greece.

  On the day of the assault, I sat peacefully in the park engrossed in a book when slavers descended upon monstrous ships, snatching everyone in sight, myself included. 
  Transported to the sinister confines of Nuerva, its skyline dominated by jagged edifices, I became the possession of a man known as the Captain, enduring captivity under his cruel whims. It took me many days to summon the courage to flee. 
  Alone and terrified, I fled to the farthest reaches of the city, where a glimmer of hope awaited. Across the expanse lay another city, vibrant and colorful, promising sanctuary. All I had to do was traverse the bridge. 
  But fate intervened. At the cusp of freedom, on the threshold between light and darkness, a gunshot shattered my escape. 
  Yet, my story wasn't over. Death would not claim me yet; destiny had other plans in store. 
  Note: "The Black City of Nuerva" in print format is an intimate voyage recounted through the eyes of its protagonist in first-person narrative. Throughout the book, the main character fluidly embodies both male and female perspectives. Complementing the narrative are 60 original artworks, each meticulously crafted to reimagine key moments within the story. The creation of this book and its accompanying artwork spanned several years, reflecting the dedication and toil invested in bringing this imaginative world to life.
