From childhood, Christopher Miles was fascinated by celluloid. This love of the moving image announced itself early: he was just 17 when the BBC screened his first film in 1957. To be a filmmaker, Miles had to sidestep parental plans to enrol him in the family steelworks. He had already been filming in communist China and Argentina when he escaped to Paris where he made his first professional film. Later, working mostly in Europe and America, Miles made a string of intriguing and unusual films, two exploring his obsession with D.H. Lawrence, others bringing works by Jean Anouilh and Jean Genet to the big screen. He writes revealingly of his relationship with his father, of whether he is related to the royal family, and of the host of key figures in the film industry he worked with. Among the stars of his films are Ian McKellen, Ava Gardner, John Gielgud, Susannah York, Franco Nero and Charlotte Rampling. This compelling account goes behind the scenes, setting the films in context and giving the reader a very personal view of contemporary film-making.

Cassius is missing! A journal of his last whereabouts, called The Consulate Archipelago, was sent to his former employer. Now, Matthew Boxelder, a search and rescue volunteer, was hired to find out what happened to Cassius, using the journal as a guide. Having read the journal is one thing; understanding the truth behind it is another, especially when the society is more advanced and more mysterious than Matthew thought. Even getting to the place that Cassius had written about was far stranger than he expected. Yet Matthew arrived at the archipelago, an island chain that determines who is worthy of moving on to Leserson Island. There he finds out that he does not have enough money to continue on and must get more currency somehow. What makes things even more difficult is that these islands are off the grid, with cell and internet service being sporadic at best. Matthew starts to understand that this is a multi-layered society, with some people being sponsored by families and organizations to breeze through a variety of challenges and then travel to Leserson Island. Others, who have come from many parts of the world, have to work there until they can go on. And even within that context, some jobs are more prestigious than others. Of course, the journal did not prepare Matthew for any of this. Nor did it prepare him for finding a published version of that same journal written in a foreign language. And so, Matthew Boxelder found himself in an ever-widening mystery with a continual swirl of questions: what happened to Cassius? Why were there published copies of Cassius Journal and who created them? Why were so many people interested in going to Leserson Island? And would he find a way to get off this archipelago?

Welcome to The Wolfs Mercy, a cozy little nightmare of a collection where compassion bites back and redemption sometimes wears fur. These tales wander through mist-soaked villages and haunted valleys, where the weather has opinions and the furniture might be keeping secrets. Youll meet Annamarie, who finds mercy in a wolfs yellow eyes; Dara, who pulls a half-dead man out of a frozen river and accidentally wakes something ancient; and Emily, who hears the bell that no one else dares to ring. Each story mixes folklore, psychological suspense, and a dash of something unexplainablelike a ghost who insists on making polite conversation.This is not a book of horror so much as of reckoning: people learning that love and fear are twins in different coats. The tone is lyrical, a little gothic, and occasionally funny in that way small towns are funny when the stakes involve both tea and damnation. If you enjoy stories that glow faintly in the dark and whisper, "Dont worry, its only the truth," then youll be right at home here.
