Books
This was England
This is a very personal review of some of the folk customs which had existed in England prior to World War One, arranged by month of the year. The author does not allow geography to be an impediment and samples superstitions from all over the British Isles, but the majority of his sources are southern England, particularly Somersetshire.
Brothers
Robert F. Kennedy was the first conspiracy theorist about his brother's murder. In this new account of the Kennedy years, David Talbot explains why - even on 22 November 1963 - RFK had reason to believe that dark forces were at work in Dallas.
The hill
Modern version of the Crucifixion, set in New York's Harlem, where "the Hill" is the heart of the Negro ghetto.
