How do you stay alive when everybody wants you dead? Life was full of danger for Raiko and Bojko from the moment they were born. It wasn't anything that they did. It was simply because they were gypsies. Being a gypsy in Europe in the early eighteenth century was dangerous business. Were it not for a kindly old circus owner, they would never have survived. But now, empowered by the man who led them to God, the brothers have the chance to find their mother and make a life for themselves. But a cruel priest is hot on their heels, and he has no intention of letting them escape alive. This beautiful, riveting story by Frank Lamca will bring old Europe to life all around you. You'll only be satisfied when the sequel comes out.

Pulp History brings to life extraordinary feats of bravery, violence, and redemption that history has forgotten. These stories are so dramatic and thrilling they have to be true. In DEVIL DOG, the most decorated Marine in history fights for America across the globe—and returns home to set his country straight. Smedley Butler took a Chinese bullet to the chest at age eighteen, but that did not stop him from running down rebels in Nicaragua and Haiti, or from saving the lives of his men in France. But when he learned that America was trading the blood of Marines to make Wall Street fat cats even fatter, Butler went on a crusade. He threw the gangsters out of Philadelphia, faced down Herbert Hoover to help veterans, and blew the lid off a plot to overthrow FDR.

A comprehensive A-to-Z reconstruction of the oral tradition of the Rom--gypsies--based on sources never before available in English • Presents the origin myths and magical traditions of the gypsies, including their legendary ties to Egypt, animal ancestors, and tree spirits • Examines the three major settings of gypsy folktales--the forest, the waters, and the mountain--and shows how their world is full of spirits • Shows how the religious concepts of the Rom testify to a profound syncretism of the pagan traditions and Christianity Although their own myths and their common name point to Egyptian origins for the gypsies, the Rom, as they call themselves, originated in India, as evidenced by studies of their language. They arrived in Europe in the ninth century and spread across the continent from East to West, reaching England in the 15th century and Scandinavia by the end of the 16th century. A nomadic people, these wanderers were reviled by local populaces wherever they went and regarded as misfits, intruders, foreigners, and thieves. Drawing on a number of sources never before available outside of Eastern Europe, Claude Lecouteux reconstructs the gypsy oral tradition to provide a comprehensive A-to-Z look at gypsy mythology, including their folktales, rites, songs, nursery rhymes, jokes, and magical traditions. His main source is material collected by Heinrich Adalbert von Wlislocki (1856-1907), an ethnologist who lived with gypsies in Romania, Transylvania, and Hungary in the latter half of the 19th century. He presents the origin myths of the gypsies, legends which form the ancestral memory of the gypsy tribes and often closely touch on their daily life. Lecouteux explores the full range of supernatural beings that inhabit the gypsy world, including fairies, undines, ogres, giants, dog-people, and demons, and he examines the three major settings of gypsy folktales--the forest, the waters, and the mountain, which they worshiped as a sacred being in its own right. He also reveals how coexisting with peoples of different religions led the gypsies to adapt or borrow stories and figures from these groups, and he shows how the religious concepts and sacred stories of the Rom testify to a profound syncretism of pagan traditions and Christianity. Complete with rare illustrations and information from obscure sources appearing for the first time in English, this detailed reference work represents an excellent resource for scholars and those seeking to reconnect to their forgotten gypsy heritage.

I have authored a new book; The Devil's Gipsies, this book is based on one of my granddads wonderful Gypsie tales. My granddad, Oliver Scarrott Brinkley Smith, a True Romany Gypsie, featured in my first book "Romany Gypsies" (my childhood life story) available on Amazon. This new book is titled The Devil's Gipsies, the book tells the tale of devil worship, demons, witches, Gypsies, Blood Sacrifice, Abduction. Plus, the investigation into the occult by the British Secret Intelligence Service, Mi5, just before the 2nd World War, around 1938. The book features real family members from that time. A bit of horror mystery and suspense. I have had to keep the language and any sassy bits down, as my granddaughters, grandsons, family members and friends represented characters in this book The book has over seventy photos to compliment the story, Devil, Demons and Witches. There are Photos of the characters in the story, plus image's relating to the tale. Family and friends may see a likeness to themselves and recognize other family members from these photos. Around 1948 Major Writtle, a central character in this story, had his briefcase containing the photos and documents featured in this book, forwarded to my granddad for safe keeping after his demise. My mother Kezia, who plays a pivotal role in this story, would not talk about it. She never knew, granddad had given me Major Writtle's old briefcase, containing the photos and documents. I do not claim this story to be true, it's probably, nothing more than a Gypsy tale, I hope you enjoy the photos and this Gypsie tale. Make of it as you will. Lenny Harvey

But Billy Glasheen has little time to celebrate; his black marketeer boss has disappeared, leaving Billy high and dry.

Unfortunately for Billy, he doesn't know what it is . . . but he'd better find it fast. Set in Australia in the years following World War II, Peter Doyle's novels brilliantly explore the criminal underworld, political corruption, and the postwar explosion of sex, drugs, and rock'n'roll.

Vic Reeves' vivid, enchanting, and utterly hilarious childhood memoir is a comic masterpiece. Before there was Vic Reeves, there was a boy called James Moir who was much the same as any other lad.Obsessed with owning a pet crow, a master at writing his name and terrified of his father's immense moustache. Growing up in Yorkshire and then CountyDurham, the boy who would be Reeves somehow managed to escape the attentions of 'Randy Mandy' and get a crash course in pig castration, before having encounters with Jimi Hendrix and the Yorkshire Ripper. Peopled with weird and wonderful characters, Vic Reeves' memoir is authentic, witty and inventive, and as unique as you'd expect from one of Britain's most exceptional comedy talents.
