Dunning J. H., Salem Brownstone. All Along the Watchtowers — 2010

A mundane life takes a strange and magical turn in this rich gothic fantasy told with vivid black-and-white art — a graphic novel perfect for a Halloween night. As he twists the key and slowly creeps into the grand mansion left to him in his father's will, Salem Brownstone has an eerie feeling that his world is about to change. First there's the appearance of a beguiling contortionist from Dr. Kinoshita's Circus of Unearthly Delights . . . then a crystal ball . . . then an attack by the sinister Shadow Boys. It seems the father that Salem never knew was actually a powerful magician, and the son has inherited his dark legacy — and an unfinished battle for life or death. With intriguing echoes of Tim Burton, Edward Gorey, H. P. Lovecraft, and Aubrey Beardsley, this album-format, beautifully cloth-bound graphic novel forges a mesmerizing style all its own.

British Short Stories of Today — 1987

All these stories were written this century, most very recently, by talented beginners or established authors as famous as Arthur C.Clarke, Elspeth Davie, Thomas Hinde and Colin Thubron. Set in every corner of the British Isles, as well as in Kashmir, the Australian outback and a French launderette, these miniature dramas tell of a romantic, if painful, encounter at a cycle race, an obsessive tourist guide, a convent with problems and a Trotskyist bookseller. Comic or sad, exciting or thoughtful, they are deeply revealing about today's Britain and,with notes explaining the obscure words and technical terms, make a highly entertaining anthology, ideal for the serious student of life in Britain today or for anyone who simply enjoys a good read

India — 2009 (Lonely planet)

Bamboozling. There—s simply no other word that convincingly captures the enigma that is India. With its in-your-face diversity, from snow-dusted mountains to sun-washed beaches, tranquil temples to feisty festivals, lantern-lit villages to software-supremo cities, it—s hardly surprising that this country has been dubbed the world—s most multidimensional. Love it or loathe it, and most visitors see-saw between the two, India promises to jostle your entire being, and no matter where you go or what you do, it—s a place you—ll never forget.
