In the enchanted Booga Dooga Land is a little Pixie Town, where Pickwick, a little Pixie lives with his delightful smiling OctoDoll. Right from the time the OcotDoll had come alive by inadvertantly breaking the "Code of Dollus", Pickwick & the OctoDoll had been repeatedly thrust into life and death situations, where they had to battle formidable adversaries to save other creatures of the Booga Dooga Land, as well as even Pixie Town, the Silver Mountains and the entire Booga Dooga Land. Pickwick and the OctoDoll, rose to the occasion each time, and valiantly entered the fray even at the cost of their own lives, and used incredible "Plans" which only they could have made, to overcome their formidable adversaries and win the day. Like other creatures such as the Wormus, the Idearoolus Blick, Harky the Shark, and Wilful the wicked flowerfish, this tale also introduces a villainous adversary endowed with evil traits and seemingly insurmountable magical powers! Pickwick and the OctoDoll who had gone for a picnic to the incredible beautiful "Valley of the Singing Grass" were frozen by the Horus into statues and were on the verge of being gobbled up by the Horus, when they were rescued in the nick of time by the Silver Dragon! While all this action was going on, and while the Horus determinedly, followed them up to the Silver Dragon's cave high up in the Silver Mountains where they had taken refuge, even more original and exciting creatures like "In" and "Quisitive" as well as "Trans" and "Lucent" emerged in the Booga Dooga Forest. Finally the Horus was overcome just a moment before he would have crushed our heroes and gobbled them up. The Horus turns into .... aha .. that would be telling .. suffice it to say that this tale is so enchanting that the entire family will be delighted and will surely want to read it all together ....

From the creator of Myths Retold comes a hilarious collection of Greek, Norse, Chinese and even Sumerian myths retold in their purest, bawdiest forms! All our lives, we’ve been fed watered-down, PC versions of the classic myths. In reality, mythology is more screwed up than a schizophrenic shaman doing hits of unidentified…wait, it all makes sense now. In Zeus Grants Stupid Wishes, Cory O’Brien, creator of Myths RETOLD!, sets the stories straight. These are rude, crude, totally sacred texts told the way they were meant to be told: loudly, and with lots of four-letter words. Did you know? Cronus liked to eat babies. Narcissus probably should have just learned to masturbate. Odin got construction discounts with bestiality. Isis had bad taste in jewelry. Ganesh was the very definition of an unplanned pregnancy. And Abraham was totally cool about stabbing his kid in the face. Still skeptical? Here are a few more gems to consider: • Zeus once stuffed an unborn fetus inside his thigh to save its life after he exploded its mother by being too good in bed. • The entire Egyptian universe was saved because Sekhmet just got too hammered to keep murdering everyone. • The Hindu universe is run by a married couple who only stop murdering in order to throw sweet dance parties…on the corpses of their enemies. • The Norse goddess Freyja once consented to a four-dwarf gangbang in exchange for one shiny necklace. And there’s more dysfunctional goodness where that came from.

The classic work on the music of Afrofuturism, from jazz to jungle More Brilliant than the Sun: Adventures in Sonic Fiction is one of the most extraordinary books on music ever written. Part manifesto for a militant posthumanism, part journey through the unacknowledged traditions of diasporic science fiction, this book finds the future shock in Afrofuturist sounds from jazz, dub and techno to funk, hip hop and jungle. By exploring the music of such musical luminaries as Sun Ra, Alice Coltrane, Lee Perry, Dr Octagon, Parliament and Underground Resistance, theorist and artist Kodwo Eshun mobilises their concepts in order to open the possibilities of sonic fiction: the hitherto unexplored intersections between science fiction and organised sound. Situated between electronic music history, media theory, science fiction and Afrodiasporic studies, More Brilliant than the Sun is one of the key works to stake a claim for the generative possibilities of Afrofuturism. Much referenced since its original publication in 1998, but long unavailable, this new edition includes an introduction by Kodwo Eshun as well as texts by filmmaker John Akomfrah and producer Steve Goodman aka kode9.

For about two decades John W. Loftus was a devout evangelical Christian, an ordained minister of the Church of Christ, and an ardent apologist for Christianity. With three degrees--in philosophy, theology, and philosophy of religion--he was adept at using rational argumentation to defend the faith. But over the years, doubts about the credibility of key Christian tenets began to creep into his thinking. By the late 1990s he experienced a full-blown crisis of faith. In this honest appraisal of his journey from believer to atheist, the author carefully explains the experiences and the reasoning process that led him to reject religious belief. The original edition of this book was published in 2006 and reissued in 2008. Since that time, Loftus has received a good deal of critical feedback from Christians and skeptics alike. In this revised and expanded edition, the author addresses criticisms of the original, adds new argumentation and references, and refines his presentation. For every issue he succinctly summarizes the various points of view and provides references for further reading. In conclusion, he describes the implications of life without belief in God, some liberating, some sobering. This frank critique of Christian belief from a former insider will interest freethinkers as well as anyone with doubts about the claims of religion.
