And so Minty's strange adventure begins - a journey through time into the past, where she finds Tom, and Sarah . . . and the evil Miss Vole.

Описание: One of the great mysteries of the Hellboy world is revealed as Abe uncovers his connections to the monsters threatening to end the world. When monsters began to tear down civilization, suspicion fell on Abe Sapien, who resembled the frogmen plaguing mankind. The two volumes of Dark and Terrible tell the complete story of Abe's quest to prove his innocence as he went AWOL from the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense. At first he ran from the truth, but as this volume picks up he's ready to face facts about his origins and his purpose in the world--revealed in classically oblique Mignola style--all while being pursued by a mad necromancer who feels betrayed by the Devil and is eager to use Abe to gain new power amongst the creatures that have created a Hell on Earth.

Описание: **Now also available in Large Print Format** A novel of love, loneliness and loyalty. Readers are staying up all night to read this saga of a British woman and her crumbling stately home. Considered a troublesome burden, Evelyn Talbot is banished by her family to their remote country house. Tall Chimneys is hidden in a damp and gloomy hollow. It is outmoded and inconvenient but Evelyn is determined to save it from the fate of so many stately homes at the time - abandonment or demolition.Occasional echoes of tumult in the wider world reach their sequestered backwater - the strident cries of political extremists, a furore of royal scandal, rumblings of the European war machine. But their isolated spot seems largely untouched. At times life is hard - little more than survival. At times it feels enchanted, almost outside of time itself. The woman and the house shore each other up - until love comes calling, threatening to pull them asunder. Her desertion will spell its demise, but saving Tall Chimneys could mean sacrificing her hope for happiness, even sacrificing herself. A century later, a distant relative crosses the globe to find the house of his ancestors. What he finds in the strange depression of the moor could change the course of his life forever.One woman, one house, one hundred years.

Описание: Geography and language collide in Soil by Tim Cresswell. His poems delight in the strange, situated at the cusp of natural and urban. A fox climbs a London skyscraper; municipal trees are displaced from their mountain habitats; sandworts take root in abandoned mine shafts; geological time is glimpsed through the `crushed structures` of the city.

This is not a story on any preconceived ideas on how youth or adults should behave in certain circumstances but just a natural thoughtful presumption of how people would react and behave when suddenly put in situation they neither predicted or would any experience at dealing with.
This story can be likened to throwing a stone in pond everything is relatively normal and calm then suddenly there are waves coming from the middle crashing on to the sides and rebounding. Waves that gradually subside till the absolute calmness prevails again. We may not always envy Adam and Christine raising two teenage boys who can, as we know, be challenging at times, but keep to a natural response to a situation that has come of the blue. I'm not interested in creating any hero or villain in this story but would rather stick to the common sense approach to the unique problem, even though in the end it may seem more trivial than at first.
The problem not being so trivial that doesn't introduce Shane to the new world of the realities of societies darker problems. In doing so it brings about the positive outcomes that can occur when we go through difficult times. Again, I don't want a hero in this story that can single handedly save those who suffer or a troubled villain who only reacts in his or her own interests, but a saga of natural human responses we may or may not learn from but we can all appreciate.
I was motivated to form this story on the premise of asking the question just how would average teens and parents react in these circumstances. While taking satisfaction in provoking a lot thought over this story I'm glad to have avoided any kind of preaching or political correctness, something I didn't intentionally have to do. And in doing so it took on a psychological philosophical tone while at the same time it may seem rather utopic, it does little to hide the naturally human weakness's and strengths of the characters involved.
