DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The deepest secrets drive the darkest currents. Strange tides are acting upon Cass Bainbridge. Impelling her to leave London and the comfortable home she shares with her partner, to take up a lecturing job on the south coast. But Brighton isn't the natural choice for a woman with a long-standing fear of the sea. And dealing with some of the students on her course - surly, difficult or just plain odd - against the backdrop of a series of attacks on campus, means Cass is soon finding elements of her new life distinctly disturbing. Painful memories begin closing in on her; the spectre of a secret that finally tore apart her damaged childhood and changed her life for ever. And the sense she is being stalked - a series of strange phone calls, a malignant presence around her flat-build the whispering stream of disquiet into a wave that threatens to engulf her.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →In The Mermaid's Purse, Ted Hughes explores the ocean. From starfish and seagulls to mermaids and monsters, 28 poems capture the beauty, drama, and mystery of the sea and the seashore. Here is the ghostly cormorant: "Drowned fishermen come back/As famished cormorants/With bare and freezing webby toes/Instead of boots and pants." The strange and comical flounder: "The flounder sees/Through crooked eyes./Through crooked lips/The flounder cries." And the mermaid herself: "Call her a fish, /Call her a girl./Call her the pearl/Of an oyster fresh/On its pearly dish." By turns lyrical, whimsical, and robust, The Mermaid's Purse showcases the distinctive voice and appreciation of the natural world that made Ted Hughes among the most respected of late-20th-century poets. Made doubly accessible by Flora McDonnell's distinctive black-and-white art, this sea-themed collection will delight children and be welcomed by educators.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Poetry. "As if each hypothesis were a parasol which slightly changed the light, Laynie Browne's poems contain privileged messages from the spirit world that must be shielded from the direct rays of reality because such information might so easily disintegrate, remaining unrecognizable under the harsh glare and preoccupied manner of contemporary scrutiny. In their hushed, yet deliberate path, these works constitute a labyrinth, a gentle, ritual encircling of the tidal voice of alchemy; whose secrets are not offered to be revealed but to be reveled in, and then departed from, so that their unknowable nature may remain untouched, permitting us to leave transformed--and exhilarated"--Nick Piombino
