Choking Back the Devil by Donna Lynch is an invocation, an ancient invitation that summons the darkness within and channels those lonely spirits looking for a host. It's a collection that lives in the realm of ghosts and family curses, witchcraft and urban legends, and if you're brave enough to peek behind the veil, the hauntings that permeate these pages will break seals and open doorways, cut throats and shatter mirrors. You see, these poems are small drownings, all those subtle suffocations that live in that place between our ribs that swells with panic, incubates fear. Lynch shows her readers that sometimes our shadow selves--our secrets--are our sharpest weapons, the knives that rip through flesh, suture pacts with demons, cut deals with entities looking for more than a homecoming, something better, more intimate than family. It's about the masks we wear and the reflections we choose not to look at, and what's most terrifying about the spells is these incantations show that we are the possessed, that we are our greatest monster, and if we look out of the corner of our eyes, sometimes--if we've damned ourselves enough--we can catch a glimpse of our own burnings, what monstrosities and mockeries we're to become. So cross yourselves and say your prayers. Because in this world, you are the witch and the hunter, the girl and the wolf. "Lynch mixes in childhood fables with waking nightmares, the result is electrifying; sometimes in a few razor sharp words; sometimes in longer numbered verses counting down the cycle of a damaged life. The silent cries of souls tormented to healthiness by pills and poultices, force fed by imperfect humans, echo in the silhouette of these poems. I smiled at the shadows unexpectedly delivered by her words, as will you."--Linda D. Addison, award-winning author of How to Recognize a Demon Has Become Your Friend and HWA Lifetime Achievement Award winner "This collection is not for the chronically disturbed, as fear is doled out in terse, potent portions. I got the shivers reading these unsettling poems."--Marge Simon, Bram Stoker Award winner, SFPA Grand Master Poet "Choking Back the Devil is unlike any other poetry collection you've ever read. Donna Lynch crafts beautifully terrifying worlds, packed with dense imagery and horrifying yet lush details. This collection will get your blood racing even as it breaks your heart." --Gwendolyn Kiste, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of The Rust Maidens "Some dark poets use their verse as a means to exorcise their demons. Lynch instead embraces her torment, nurtures it, and transforms it into equal parts hideous and heavenly. With a mix of wicked wit, carnal fury, and commentary that has sharpened its fangs to drain you until you're left with nothing but despair, Choking Back the Devil is essential sustenance for harrowed souls."--Chad Stroup, author of Secrets of the Weird and Sexy Leper

Masarika universitātē (Brno) mācījies reli?ijas un sociālās zinātnes, savukārt Jana?eka Mūzikas un tēlotājmākslas akadēmijā apguvis dramatur?iju. ?emeca pirmā grāmata “Pirmā dzīve” (První ?ivot) iznāca 2007.gadā. Tai sekoja “Spēlē ?etras rokas” (Hra pro ?ty?i ruce, 2009).? 2013. gadā iznākusī “Gaismas vēsture” (Dějiny světla) ir biogrāfisks romāns par slaveno ?ehu fotogrāfu Franti?eku Drtikolu.? Par ?o romānu autors sa?ēmis vairākas balvas: ?ehijas grāmata 2014, Magnesia Litera 2014 (prozas kategorija) un Josefa ?kvorecka balvu, un Eiropas Savienības Literatūras balvu.

Fotogrāfs Ainārs Mazjānis par ?o Jana ?emeca romānu saka ?ādi:?Tas, ko grāmatas varonis darīja fotomākslas jomā 20.gs. sākumā ir kas neaptverams un jebkur? eso?ais vai topo?ais fotogrāfs var daudz no vi?a mācīties. Gaismas, ēnu un formu spēle padara vi?a darbus ?oti at??irīgus no tīras fotogrāfijas un pietuvina tos mākslai - savā zi?ā tā ir kā glezno?ana ar gaismu. Lai arī cik ironiski tas būtu, pa ?iem gadiem strādājo?a fotogrāfa dzīves modelis nav nemaz tik ?oti mainījies. Tāpēc topo?ajiem fotogrāfiem būtu ?oti vērtīgi ielūkoties cita fotogrāfa dzīvē, lai sparastu, kas tas ir un vai tas ir domāts tev. ?oti interesants romāns ikvienam, kuru interesē foto un māksla. Projektu līdzfinansē Eiropas Savienības programma “Rado?ā Eiropa”. Grāmatas izdo?anu līdzfinansējusi Latvijas Republikas Kultūras ministrija un ?ehijas Kultūras ministrija.

Hold your screams and enter a world of seasonal creatures, dreams of bones, and confessions modeled from open eyes and endless insomnia. Christina Sng’s?A Collection of Nightmares?is a poetic feast of sleeplessness and shadows, an exquisite exhibition of fear and things better left unsaid. Here are ramblings at the end of the world and a path that leads to a thousand paper cuts at the hands of a skin carver. There are crawlspace whispers, and fresh sheets gently washed with sacrifice and poison, and if you’re careful in this ghost month, these poems will call upon the succubus to tend to your flesh wounds and scars.?? ?These nightmares are sweeping fantasies that electrocute the senses as much as they dull the ache of loneliness by showing you what’s hiding under your bed, in the back of your closet, and inside your head. Sng’s poems dissect and flower, her autopsies are delicate blooms dressed with blood and syntax. Her words are charcoal and cotton, safe yet dressed in an executioner’s garb.?? ?Dream carefully.?? ?You’ve already made your bed.?? ?The nightmares you have now will not be kind.?? ?And you have no one to blame but yourself.

When Patrick McGoohan first starred in “Danger Man” in 1960 and as ‘Number 6’ in cult show “The Prisoner”, industry insiders hailed the arrival of an enigmatic genius and Hollywood beckoned. But who was this man who worked as a chicken farmer and bank clerk before becoming a hugely successful actor simply by chance? In this up-to-date biography Rupert Booth reveals the true character of a man whose off-screen behaviour matched his fiery on-screen persona. Why was he so puritanical, refusing even to kiss a woman for any part he played? Why was he so controlling over his work in “The Prisoner” and other productions? A timely exploration of the man whose declaration ‘I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, de-briefed or numbered!’ continues to resonate with audiences decades after it was first uttered with such conviction.

A fascinating look into the life of King Frederick II of Prussia (also prince-elector of the Holy Roman Empire Frederick IV of Brandenburg), and the members of his court.
