Have you ever wondered what was behind a closed door? When visiting someone's home for the first time or when in a building you had never previously entered? The seemingly ordinary ligneous entryway with its peeling paint in an old house might hold secrets at which one could barely guess... Doorways to the Unseen presents six short stories to the reader that touch worlds beyond their daily reality, entering places seldom experienced. Places that are just as real but rarely visible. A deep-sea vessel on Arctic waters, entering depths in which something deathless awaits. An unfrequented moorland, embowering the site of grisly executions. A childhood home, now the deathbed of an ailing family patriarch. A looming gallows, where last rites take a strange and unexpected turn. A rented room that inexplicably becomes a gateway to sidereal realms. A sleepy seaside town troubled by a lamentable specter. So, step inside and find that which has been hidden from you all along. Where the unknown and the unimaginable meet.
Comme tout bébé, mes premières sensations dans le ventre de ma mère furent de l'ordre du calme et du bienêtre. Des bruits assourdis, un environnement chaud, liquide, mouvant, sans heurt. Un lieu apaisant que pratiquement rien ne venait troubler. Puis, je dus naître. [...] Plus qu'aucun autre nourrisson, je regrettai dans l'instant le confort douillet de l'intérieur de son ventre. Ainsi commence l'histoire de Marie-Alexandrine, une jeune femme unique par son don que peuvent résumer une empathie débordante et une sollicitude immense. Malgré sa sensibilité singulière, elle tentera de trouver sa voie, au long d'une quête à la fois périlleuse et passionnante, dans une société que la différence effraie.Dans Vos Épines, Marie-Claire Wilhelm réussit le pari de poser une réflexion sur le ressenti des nouveau-nés et des personnes âgées en fin de vie. L'auteure nous propose un roman touchant qui explore les maux du quotidien et questionne l'utilité de la douleur, comme la place de chacun en ce monde.> J'ai littéralement adoré ma lecture ! (...) Un vrai coup de coeur > Une histoire captivante et réaliste. (...) On s'attache à ce personnage singulier dont la condition nous intrigue et nous fascine. Le Pigeon Décoiffé

Christmas in space was supposed to be magical. Instead, it's going to be murder. The Raven Hill Butcher is back from the dead, and this time, he's snuck aboard the Holiday Space Station-a state-of-the-art resort orbiting the Earth, designed to bring festive cheer to the cosmos. Dressed as Santa Claus and wielding an axe, the Butcher turns a holiday celebration into an interstellar bloodbath. Among the chaos is Alex, a nerdy and awkward twelve-year-old who's more interested in comic books than Christmas carols When he crosses paths with the Butcher, an unlikely bond forms, but the trail of bodies left behind makes it clear: nobody on the station is safe. With the holly-jolly halls of the Holiday Space Station drenched in blood and panic spreading among the passengers, the survivors must find a way to escape the station before the Butcher makes it their final resting place. Santa's Space Station of Slaughter is a ridiculous, over-the-top slasher that blends gory kills, twisted humor, and pure holiday chaos.

The madness continues in Santa Claus Goes to Hell-Book 9 of The Raven Hill Butcher series.
Homicide in Hydra: George Johnston Crime Novels is about the 'forgotten' five crime novels written by the Australian novelist George Johnston (perhaps not Australia's Hemingway but an author held in very high regard nevertheless), which he wrote under the pseudonym 'Shane Martin, ' while living on Hydra in Greece between 1957 and 1962. While they are all out-of-print, they are well-written, entertaining crime novels which, surprisingly, are almost as autobiographical as his greatest book, My Brother Jack.In 1951, the acclaimed two-time Miles Franklin Prize-winning Australian author, George Johnston (1912-1970), together with his wife, the Australian author Charmian Clift (1923-1969), their son Martin (1947-1990), and their daughter Shane (1949-1973) moved from Australia to England; then, in 1954, they moved to Greece. They lived on Kalymnos for about a year before settling on Hydra, where the Johnstons' third child, Jason was born in 1956. They returned to Australia in 1964.Johnston wrote many books while living on Hydra, including five crime novels under the pseudonym Shane Marin, featuring the diminutive, sixty-something, American archaeologist and amateur sleuth Professor Ronald Challis who lives in England and does his fieldwork in Greece; as well as Johnston's break-through autobiographical novel, My Brother Jack (1964), which many argue is 'the great Australian novel' - at least of the second half of the twentieth century. Johnston's Professor Challis series of books consists of Twelve Girls in the Garden (1957), The Saracen Shadow (1957), The Man Made of Tin (1958), The Myth is Murder (1959, titled The Third Statue in the USA), and A Wake for Mourning (1962, titled Mourners' Voyage in the USA). As Australian mid-twentieth century crime fiction goes, Johnston's seven crime novels are very good and certainly deserve an audience. However, like much of what he wrote prior to the publication of My Brother Jack, they have been largely forgotten. Therefore, Homicide in Hydra: George Johnston's Crime Novels examines the Professor Challis series in depth for the first time

Benito Mussolini (July 29th, 1883-April 28th, 1945), Il Duce of Italian Fascism and the Prime Minister of Italy from 1922 to 1943, is a man of undeniable historical impact. This arrangement of his early political speeches begins in November 1914, after Mussolini is expelled from the Italian Socialist Party for advocating Italian intervention in the First World War. The speeches continue throughout the Great War, as Mussolini joins the fighting ranks of his countrymen, and advance through his political development, the creation of Italian Fascism, and the founding and rise to power of the National Fascist Party, which ruled Italy from 1922 to 1943. Originally published in 1923, Mussolini as Revealed in His Political Speeches was selected, translated, and edited by Baron Bernardo Quaranta di San Severino, who also introduces the collection and each speech with a brief overview of context. The speeches are arranged mostly chronologically, with Severino dividing his speeches into categories with overlapping timelines in the post-war period. This presentation represents the different aspects and focuses of Mussolini's speeches more clearly, whether regarding labor, the people, or policy. Antelope Hill Publishing is proud to preserve these early speeches of Benito Mussolini in a newly edited physical edition: Voce del Popolo, the voice of the people. In Il Duce's own words, "There is not a post-war phenomenon of greater interest and originality in Europe or the world than Italian Fascism."

Disponible en français: ASIN 2982153505 Best known as a garrison town with its fortifications and its citadel, the city of Quebec was first colonized and then conquered by sea. The last deep-water port on the St. Lawrence and a hub for maritime commerce, the history of Quebec is closely linked to the sea. However, it was not before three centuries after the founding of the city that a permanent naval presence was established there with the creation of a half company of the Royal Canadian Navy Volunteer Reserve in 1923. This unit, which became Her Majesty's Canadian Ship MONTCALM, is still present there, a hundred years later. Other naval units have appeared over the years. Some have disappeared while those who remain continue to perpetuate this naval presence in the Old Capital. This work relates the history of these various naval units established in Quebec over the last hundred years.
The Allied Chaplains of the American, British, Canadian and Polish armies in the battles for Northwestern Europe and in the Battle of the Atlantic are often overlooked due to their small numbers in relation to the hundreds of thousands of other men who made up the Allied armies. However, the chaplains were highly respected and appreciated by the men in the various units they served, as well as often being incredibly brave men who were (and are) forbidden by the rules of war from carrying any sort of weapon into battle, beyond their holy books and their faith. Allied chaplains suffered the second highest loss rate of killed or wounded of any group of men in World War II (second only to that of RAF Bomber Command) and were virtually irreplaceable due to the academic and religious training that took years to complete.This book looks at the Allied Chaplains who died during the Battle for France in 1940, endured the horrors of the Dunkirk evacuation, died in the battles on the North Atlantic (due to the sinking of their ships by German U-Boats), in the Battle for Normandy in 1944, during the Allied liberation of occupied Europe, and the defeat of Germany. It includes information about their lives before entering military chaplaincy, their deaths and sometimes the differing accounts of their deaths, as well as their final resting places in cemeteries across Europe andin the United States of America or where they are commemorated on Memorial Walls to the Missing.The Revd Dr Thomas Wilson has had an interest in WW II military history since he was 12 years old. Revd Wilson had a career in the business world before answering the call to ordained ministry. He was ordained in the Anglican Church of Canada, and served as the Rector of a parish in Southwestern Ontario. In 2007, he had the chance to spend a year in France, on a university exchange program that his wife, Professor Dawn Cornelio was coordinating. While there, they led some of the Canadian students on a visit to Normandy, where they all participated in graveside memorial Service for Canadian Chaplain Walter Brown. It was Padre Brown's murder that led Revd Wilson to initially explore all the Allied Chaplainskilled in the Battle for Normandy. After moving to serve as the Rector of a Scottish Episcopal (Anglican) Church for over 5 years, Revd Wilson now is the Anglican Chaplain of St Raphael and the Var in southern France where he ministers to a multi-national English-speaking congregation
