In dieser Reise durch die Nacht erscheint diese nicht als angsteinflößend, sondern als Zeit der Möglichkeiten: für das Treffen von Liebenden, für das Magische, für all das, was vor dem harschen Licht des Tages zurückschreckt. Im Dunkel rücken Himmel und Erde, Mystik und Alltag, Götter und Menschen auf einmal viel näher... Wo die Aufklärung nach Klarheit und Deutlichkeit strebte, zeigt dieser sechsteilige Gedichtzyklus die vollkommen entgegengesetzten Ideale der Frühromantik: Sie schwelgt im Zwielicht des Unbekannten und verehrt die Anziehungskraft des Unergründlichen.

At once provocative and laugh-out-loud funny, Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother ignited a global parenting debate with its story of one mother’s journey in strict parenting.

Spring, 1312. At Malmaison Manor, Lord Simon is concealing a dark secret - one he arrogantly assumes will never catch up with him.

Meanwhile, ships on the Devonshire coast are being deliberately wrecked, their crews slaughtered, their cargoes plundered.

This Christian devotional book contains more than 100 thoughtful quotes and proverbs of wisdom, prayer, thanksgiving, trust, praise, and worship hymns from Old Testament’s Biblical book of Psalms that can be great for anyone interested in living wisely.

Since graduating from Whisperwood School for Boys, William has found a sense of normalcy in his life with James. He has a steady (albeit secret) relationship, a home, and a job - even if it doesn't pay the greatest. Never mind that he lacks James' reckless bravery when it comes to dealing with spirits; he does his best, and it hasn't killed him thus far. When a new client calls on their expertise in solving a grisly multiple homicide, William resists. They're spirit hunters, not detectives. But the money is too much to pass up when they don't know when their next meal will be.
