This series is fantastic, and has been horridly overlooked, particularly so seeming that our current culture seems so fascinated with all things Potter. Not that The Dark Is Rising is anything like Harry Potter - not at all. It's thickly steeped in Celtic and Arthurian legend, is relentless in its exploration...

Here is a fantasy series filled with tropes... but it worked, nicely. It falls somewhere in-between what I'd consider 'High Fantasy' and 'contemporary fantasy'. If you're looking for some zany type fantasy world that you hadn't imagined, I wouldn't suggest this series. But if you like your dwarves...

An absolutely fantastic tour of America's most amazing hauntings. What I really appreciated is that each subject is treated to a fair amount of researched history before the ghostly phenomena is discussed. Some of the topics were interesting because of the history (Ocean-Born Mary, Gettysburg,...
Hauntings: True Stories of Unquiet Spirits

| ISBN | 0785824294 |
Not what I thought it was going to be when I ordered it online. I'd hoped for an analysis of hauntings, a little science, and this book -- though informative -- turned out to be a "stamp collecting" exercise where Roland collects together a wild and woolly assortment of ghost stories from around the world...

During school I recieved detentions for reading in class and not being on task. I read it during dinner and lunch and...
