Описание: The Jackson Moores have been tilling the land of Hope House Farm on the West Coast of Cumbria for many generations, but they have been harbouring a dangerous history of dark and sinister secrets for far longer: cancerous secrets, that have slowly eaten away at their family, their sanity and their very existence. Nemesis comes in the shape of P.C. James Henderson, when he first spies Danny - youngest son of the family - on his way to commit a crime - or at least to conceal one. This pivotal moment sets Henderson on a doomed road of infatuation and addiction, ending in ruin and, ultimately, death. For Danny is no ordinary boy and he belongs to no ordinary family. Until now, the Jackson Moores have managed to keep their skeletons firmly inside the closet, but when Henderson unwittingly uncovers their twisted House of Usher, the whole rotten construct starts to sink into the mire, dragging everyone with it in a spectacular display of ruthless revenge.

Описание: Eilean Mhor is a small island off the West Coast of Scotland, surrounded by ocean and blessed with long white sandy beaches. It is here Danny sets up home with his oldest adversary, and greatest friend. At first all is wine and roses, glowing sunsets and fun on the beach, but it isn't long before old jealousies and ugly frictions start rubbing the bloom of newfound happiness off Elysium. First there is Ewan of the violet eyes and heart-shaped face, idolising Danny and hero-worshipping the dangerous Jackson Moore charisma. Then there is Morag, buxom, sweet and keen to replace her unsatisfying local boyfriend with something altogether darker. And then there is Iain - a new Iain scarily like the old one in the one way Danny fears most: a cuckoo in the nest determined to steal his life for his own. DANNY 2.2 is the most seductive and alluring volume of The DANNY Quadrilogy, and offers us a different portrait of the Jackson Moores: happy, optimistic, even secure. But how long can it last, with hungry interlopers sneaking in every door, their gaze fixed firmly on everything Danny holds dear?

Описание: Die Schwarze Engel - the mythical black angel of death, of evil, of sorrow. Or of something darker than all three... Danny has been missing for six years when one night, drunk and confused, Stephen thinks he sees him reflected in a bar mirror, like an apparition from the past. But surely he has imagined it? Danny haloed and burning above him like an avenging angel; Danny rescuing him from a midnight street in a sinister, dark car; Danny smelling of lemon and dressed all in black silk, as sharp and caustic as Lucifer himself. Those drunken visions can't be true, can they? But Rab believes they must be, Stephen fears they might be and Conley knows they are. Danny is back, and now there is one overriding question burning in all their minds: what has he been doing during those mysterious missing years - and with who? Vulnerable, lost, and deep in mourning, Danny is ripe for the picking. But that shadowy other is ever-present, like an unspoken third, a revenant determined to be at the party, ruining their fun. Is the 'Schwarze Engel' real, or just a figment of their collective imaginations? And, more importantly, can anyone finally set Danny free of it?

Описание: The Boy With the Red Hair is the emotional story of a jaded aristocratic who finds himself overcome with a paralysing infatuation for his young serving boy.Set in the 1700s, it is both a period drama and a study of the power of physical beauty to overcome that most common of common senses - self-preservation.But this unusual tale of addictive love takes a darker twist when the serving boy does not offer quite such an idyll of rosy youth as it first appears, bringing instead intrigue and jealousy into a love triangle that ultimately ends in violence and death.This novella is accompanied by Nothing But A Negro - the short story which, in turn, inspired The Boy With The Red Hair - which tells the true story of Robinson Crusoe and what really went down in that desert island paradise...
Описание: Hardcover, xvi, 211 pp. Originally published: Cambridge: At the University Press, 1915. Papal Bulls and other documents produced by the Cancellaria Apostolica comprise one of the most important bodies of western canon and ecclesiastical law. They were especially important during the early and high medieval era, the period considered in this incisive study. Poole analyzes the paleographic features of documents produced between the ninth and early thirteenth centuries and their modes of transmission. Turning to the authors, he outlines the history of the Papal Chancery and the characteristics of its literary style. He concludes with a group of useful appendixes containing sample documents and bibliographic data. Revised from Poole's Birkbeck lectures delivered at Trinity College, Cambridge in 1913. "It contains a vast amount of information very clearly arranged, and in a small compass: and an examination of the references shows that Dr. Poole has an enviable command of the widely scattered literature of his subject. There is no other work in English which deals with the machinery of the early Papal Chancery, and the diplomatic and pal ographical characteristics of its productions. Even those who have ready access to the manuals of Giry and Bresslau will find much new material here, especially in the chapter dealing with the 'cursus' and in the valuable appendices. English lawyers will take special pleasure in the chapter which relates to the criticism of documents at the Papal court, where, as in England, so much depends on the verification of seals." --32 Law Quarterly Review 226 (1916) Reginald Lane Poole 1857-1939] was a Fellow of Magdalen College, Oxford; Keeper of the University Archives, 1909-1927; Assistant editor of the English Historical Review on its foundation in 1885 and later editor until 1920. He is the author of Illustrations of the History of Medieval Thought (1884) and The Exchequer in the 12th Century (1912). With William Hunt, he edited The Political History of England, 12 volumes (1905-1910).
