Hey,
Over here.
No, look up.
Yeah, I'm the one they talk about. The headmaster's prized possession, locked away in the bell tower of Notredame Parochial College. To most of the students I was just a myth.
An urban legend.
The girl who rings the bells up in the tower, the one who talks to gargoyles.
Frollo's secret
Then they showed up, those heathens. Outcasts, just like me. But these men aren't just dangerous, they're heartless. They won't abide or bend to the rules of this deranged school and the secrets it keeps from the world.
Now that they've found me, they may never let me go. And maybe I wouldn't want them to...

But only into horrifying revelations and greater peril, where a transformed world and expanding race of ravening creatures await.

UKIYO-E: Pictures of the floating world. The floating world - a transient realm of pleasures, horrors, and dreams. Ukiyo-e, depictions of this shadowy projection of the human mind, formed the mainstay of Japanese paintings and woodblock prints produced between the 17th and 20th centuries.
YOKAI: Ghost; apparition; phantom; spectre; demon; monster; goblin. Taking this definition to include mystic visions and mythic or monstrous beasts, this book collects more than one hundred 19th century Japanese woodblock prints whose subject matter covers the entire spectrum of the supernatural and the outlandish. The selection of works is also limited to the triptych format, which gave ukiyo-e artists the freedom to express their phantasies as narratives in a kinetic, detailed image frame. The work of over twenty different artists is featured, spread over five different categories - kaiju (strange beasts), yurei (ghosts), oni (demons), juryoku (mystic forces), and yojutsu (black magic). The book also has a special section for yakusha-e, prints directly depicting supernatural scenes from the kabuki theatre. The artists featured include Yoshitoshi, Kuniyoshi, Kunichika and many others.
New revised edition.
Anarcho-Punk: Music and Resistance in London 1977-1988 by David Insurrection is the distillation of three years work. It's the story of an oft overlooked scene. Anarcho-punk in the 1980s truly rocked the boat. Much more than music it set out to change the world and in a not insignificant way did just that. It inspired a generation of activists, artists and musicians to take up the fight for a better fairer world. They tore down the walls. The Sex Pistols may have opened the door but the Crass punks charged through it. This is their story. As we return to the embattled 1970s and 1980s David takes us on a journey where we visit some of the scene's most significant locations and hot spots, to places where change mattered and the spirit of revolt burned brightest.

Classic horror and giallo/slasher/psycho images figure in full-color, full-page images highlighting some of the world's most innovative and seductive movie poster art.

IN THE REIGN OF JUSTINIAN, THE ROMANS FOUGHT BACK.
It was an age of glory. Justinian's general, Belisarius, recovered North Africa and Italy from the barbarians. An impressive new law code was inaugurated that would endure to this day. Astonishing building projects, like the iconic Hagia Sophia, rivalled the great monuments of Old Rome.
But all that glitters is not gold. Drawing on the contemporary sources, especially those of the chronicler Procopius, Nick Holmes reveals a darker side to Justinian - a ruthless opportunist, whose costly conquests and misguided priorities drained the empire's wealth and critically weakened its army.
Rather than restoring Rome's greatness did he in fact pave the way for its catastrophic collapse less than a century after his death?
This is the fourth volume in Nick Holmes' series on the Fall of the Roman Empire. The first three books trace the empire's story from the 'crisis of the third century', through its reinvention by Constantine as a Christian state, and then onto the fall of its western half. A fifth volume will tell of its rapid demise in the seventh century AD, when the first Islamic Caliphate became the new superpower of western Eurasia.

Guitargonaut (gĭ-tär′gə-nôt)
An adventurer engaged in a quest. With a guitar. And a constantly evolving idea of how to play it.
Sluggo started rock bands and toured the world for four decades; 1980-2020.
These are stories of what he found out there.
Each chapter mostly revolves around individual gigs, with a couple notable exceptions.
Some exceptions are chapters about his friendships with:
Nirvana (1989-1990) with many previously unseen photographs
Elliott Smith (1993-2000) with unpublished photographs
During the time he toured, Sluggo and his wife lost their home.
They became parents, one child became quite ill.
Many of these stories predate GPS and cell phones.
This book contains hundreds of photos, flyers & rock ephemera embedded in every chapter.
In the end, it's a book about people, community and, well, love.
