How to murder a man

All histories are really murder stories ... he who murders most, wins.Written with style and a savage grace, How To Murder A Man by Irish novelist Carlo Gébler, is a gripping portrayal of a largely untold part of Irish history. Inspired by true events, the novel follows land agent Thomas French, appointed to bring order to a decaying profitless estate in County Monaghan, Ulster, following the Great Famine.When he offers the poverty-stricken farmers free passage to America in exchange for the rights to their land, French attracts the enmity of the local Ribbonmen?a brutal and merciless secret society?who sentence the land agent to execution. A battle of wills ensues between French and Isaac Marron, the leader of the Ribbonmen, whose attempts at bloody retribution only serve to drive a divided community still further apart.The unflinching depiction of casual violence and deep-rooted prejudice has strong contemporary resonance. Gébler's lack of sensationalism in describing horrific scenes of cruelty, and his refusal to oversimplify issues, ultimately increase the impact of this story.Novelist, playwright and broadcaster Carlo Gébler was born in Dublin in 1954, the son of famous Irish novelist Edna O'Brien. A graduate of York University and the National Film and Television School, Gébler has directed a number of television documentaries and contributed articles to many prominent newspapers and magazines. He now lives in Enniskillen, County Fermanagh in Northern Ireland. His other works include W9 And Other Lives, published by Marion Boyars in 1998."Gébler at his disturbing best."?The Sunday Times.

Houses and mansions, castles and abbeys: internationally acclaimed photographer Simon Marsden has left no stone unturned in his quest to capture the ghostly nature of these strange places. Accompanying the photos is his fascinating commentary on the apparitions and spirit manifestations that have been reported at each particular site - as well as the strange, often macabre real-life events said to be the cause of the hauntings. Black-and-white photographs throughout.

The Haunted Realm: Echoes from Beyond the Tomb

Herman Melville's famous novel Moby Dick immortalised the idea of a battling white sperm whale roaming the ocean - but could such a beast exist? Writer and explorer Tim Severin travels to the islands of the Pacific to find out. From Nuku Hiva to the Philippines, from Tonga to Indonesia, Severin travels on a journey of discovery. Along the way he encounters the extraordinary hook-jumpers of Pamilacan, who make their living by leaping on the backs of ten-ton whale sharks. He observes a Tongan harpooner named Samson - now a priest in the Tongan church - re-enact the mystic ballet of a kill, transporting himself to his youth like a shaman from a forgotten age. And he accompanies the fishermen of Lamalera, who still hunt sperm whale by hand from their Stone Age boats. For them the white whale is no fiction but an ancestor which must be treated with respect. The leviathan is 'Leader of the Whales', intelligent and aggressive ... and real.
