When fourteen-year-old Nicholas Dane's mother dies, social services sends him to a home for boys where intimidation and violence keep order. After a number of fights and brutal punishments, Nick thinks that life can't possibly get any worse . . . until he realizes that the home's respected deputy head, who has been grooming him with sweets and solace, has something more frightening in mind. Acclaimed writer and truth-teller Melvin Burgess brings us, with Dickensian scope and compelling narrative drive, his most ambitious book yet.
Melvin Burgess has made a powerful name for himself in the world of children's and young adult literature, emerging in the 1990s as the author of over twenty critically acclaimed novels. This collection of original essays by a team of established and new scholars introduces readers to the key debates surrounding Burgess's most challenging work, including controversial young adult novels Junk and Doing It. Covering a variety of critical and theoretical perspectives, the volume also presents exciting new readings of some of his less familiar fiction for children, and features an interview with the author.
After hours. Underground. Trapped. With real zombies. Humble garbageman Vance Campbell doesn't care very much for comic books, superheros, or pop culture in general, but his wife does, so he has volunteered to work at the local convention to get tickets for her and their daughter. But when a freak earthquake literally shakes things up, the festive weekend takes a turn for the worse. Now, Vance finds himself trapped by a broken elevator on the mezzanine level with a motley crew of other volunteers, vendors, and celebrities. To get out they'll have to make their way around to the other elevator—and straight through a hungry horde of undead spawned by the earthquake—before the horror envelops the rest of Comicon, and his family. If you like campy apocalyptic adventures that don't sacrifice scientific plausibility for great fun, where the characters are locked in a desperate battle against unknown forces, with neither the skills nor the equipment to handle the violent task, and you like turning blood-soaked pages as fast as you can, laughing with your heart pounding all the while, you'll love Zombies Versus Comicon. Fans of realistic, plausible, funny science fiction stories will enjoy the Con Chaos series of campy but realistic pop-culture monster novels, which can be enjoyed in any order, but which may be best without spoilers when read in order. The Con Chaos books contain graphic violence, strong language, intense situations, and frequent absurd humor. Movies based on these books would likely be rated R.
A vengeful soul. An ultimate battle. A prophecy fulfilled. Dylan McBride never imagined he’d turn to darkness until he lost everything. His hybrid powers are drawing him to a world he swore to destroy—the world of The Fallen. Anger fuels his emotions and it’s creating a monster not even his Keeper can control. His only desire is to gain custody of his daughter and disappear forever, but the one person willing to help him is a threat to his own existence. Heaven Lewis’s nightmare has just begun. Though she and Layne have accepted their roles as the reincarnated Sun King and Queen, they’re far from having their happily ever after. The Fallen have grown in numbers, and they’re planning to conquer both humans and Psi in a sadistic, post-apocalyptic world. Time is running out, but Heaven is no closer to learning how to defeat them. Still reeling over his heritage, Layne Perry fears he’ll follow his family’s same tragic path into darkness, something Heaven assures him she’ll never let happen. He and his queen hold the key to restoring the balance of good and evil. But even as the most powerful pyrokinetic, his abilities won’t help him with his toughest battle yet—facing Dylan, the man who wants Layne and Heaven dead, the man Layne also calls brother. As the final battle looms, Dylan, Heaven, and Layne have demons to face and painful choices to make, but who will be the final victor? What the Heart Keeps is a paranormal romance filled with suspense, soulmates, and supernatural twists. If you like mystical worlds, larger than life characters, and captivating stories of good versus evil, you'll enjoy this epic tale of love, light, and darkness.

This Ms. is written in the romantic adventure genre, with the various love affairs of the characters taking place against the 1960'S backdrop of South West Africa and Angola, when it declared its independence from Portugal, becoming the People's Republic of Angola in November 1975. The characters include: * Nord, the only son of the farming Nordman family. His actual mother is a Nama girl, of Dutch and Khoi-Khoi descent. He is brought up by the farmer's Dutch wife, Grietje, as her own son. * Emilie, the daughter of the wealthy neighbouring farmer, Antonin, and his wife, Gina. Emilie is born when Nord is 12 years of age (and like a member of their family). Emilie's mother dies after a snake- bite on the farm when Emilie is 6 years old. * Shaba is a young African boy who loses his family in a village massacre in Zaire. He flees with his grandfather, the only surviving family of the ruling chief, and they disappear into the highlands of neighbouring Angola. A lonely child, his grandfather looks after him, but only with a sense of duty. He finds consolation with a herd of the royal black sable, following them in the forests until he is 10 years of age, when he accompanies his grandfather, recruited by Antonin to work for him on the farm in South West Africa. When Emilie learns to walk, the 15 year-old Shaba becomes her guardian. * Ki is the Bushman who is sent to the Nordman farm when he loses his right hand in a trap. He adopts the young boy as his spiritual son, and teaches him to live in the bush. Nord adopts his values and his expertise, which stands him in good stead when he becomes a reconnaissance scout for the South West African police force on the border of South West and Angola in the 1960's and 70's. The Bushman is always in the background, and an integral part of the novel.
