But these are also the furry characters who add that little extra spice to every sporting occasion. These are the world’s mascots. What is the point of them? To cajole, to intimidate, to inspire, to celebrate, to console, to terrify young children? Who knows, and frankly, who cares? They are here to stay and there’s nothing we can do about it, so we might as well enjoy them. Dance Like Everybody’s Watching! is a loving and hysterical celebration of the best, worst, silliest and most absurd mascots sport has to offer.

Now, as winter closes in, a tenth figure is added – a body – and a modern tragedy is added to the dark legend that surrounds the stones.There’s no shortage of suspects, each with their own guilty secret, but what DS Fry and DC Cooper lack is any kind of motive. As they search separately for answers, it seems the reasons for the strange behaviour of the moor’s inhabitants may lie somewhere in the past, in a terrible crime yet to be discovered…

Der vorliegende Thriller ist die Fortsetzung einer Trilogie, die auf „Dantes Inferno“, einer Reise durch die Unterwelt, folgt. W?hrend der Reisende mit seinem Mentor die dunklen Bilder in der Abstellkammer der menschlichen Psyche erkundet, die ihn unter anderem durch die alptraum?hnlichen Exzesse der sexuellen Folter f?hren, explodiert in seinem Hirn eine „virtuelle“ Bombe. Zukunft wird mit Vergangenheit verquirlt und in die scheinbare Gegenwart integriert, die sich aber wiederum als Alptraum einer „vergessenen“ Erinnerung herausstellt. Die Story zielt im Wesentlichen daraufhin, dass sich das Unbewusste dem Geist wie ein aufklappendes dreidimensionales Bild erschliesst, wenn der Leser nicht jeden Handlungsfaden krampfhaft „nachzudenken“ sucht. Sobald er aufgibt, die Geschichte aus Tr?umen und Erinnerungsbruchst?cken bewusst nachvollziehen zu wollen, ?ffnen sich ihm die vielschichtigen Perspektiven vor dem (inneren) Auge.

When Dr North discovers that his beloved Philippa – surely the most beautiful murderess who ever crossed the pages of fiction – has killed her abusive husband, he must decide whether to turn her in or take the law into his own hands. There are dark days ahead as he wrestles with his conscience: can a crime ever be justified? And is Philippa the villain or the victim?Combining the thrills of the Penny Dreadful with the melodrama of the Sensation Novel, Hugh Conway wrote some of the most successful Christmas crime stories ever published. Dark Days followed his enthralling Called Back as a Christmas Annual, published just before his untimely death ended a writing career of only four years, robbing the world of one of the most popular detective writers since Wilkie Collins.THIS DETECTIVE STORY CLUB CLASSIC is introduced by David Brawn, and includes Much Darker Days by Scottish writer, critic and satirist Andrew Lang, a hilarious retelling of the story which sold almost as well as the original.
