DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn his deservedly famous poem The Darkling Thrush Thomas Hardy looks out over a desolate landscape which seems to reflect his own forlorn sense of what the world has become. Against the gloomy backdrop he suddenly sees and then hears a decrepit bird, an old thrush, that holds forth in song. Its cheery note is so anomalous to his dark thoughts that it makes him think the bird must know something he does not. Hence my own title. Since, in a world gone to bloody hell, I find yet much to celebrate, my song is Known By the Darkling Thrush.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAn Ancient Evil Waits for Him in an Abandoned Castle Fed up with desk duty in the Imperial Arcane Library, rebellious young book hunter Colin Bliss accepts a private commission to find The Sword's Shadow, a legendary witches' grimoire. But to find the book, Colin must travel to the remote Western Isles and solve a centuries-old murder. It shouldn't be much more than an academic exercise, so why is the Societas Magicke trying so hard to interfere--even going so far as to send the austere and alarming Magister Septimus Marx to stop him? As Colin digs deeper and deeper into the Long Island's mysterious past, he begins to understand why Septimus is willing to stop him at any price--but by then, it's too late to turn back.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKPoetry. "DARKLING is a book-length sequence of elegiac fragments, obsessive ruminations on the lives of the poet's Polish-Jewish parents, grandparents, as well as her own, filtered through the eyes of an extraordinarily clear-eyed contemporary witness. It would be easy to sentimentalize the events portrayed - the childhood memory, for example, of nearly losing one's little brother because of one's own carelessness - but Rabinowitz's technical brilliance, allusive texture, verbal and rhythmic precision, and especially her self-irony give these lyrics their razor edge, their air of hard-earned authenticity. This is a deeply moving book" - Marjorie Perloff.
