Charlotte Chandler It's Only a Movie: Alfred Hitchcock - Biography Published March 2005 by Simon Schuster at £20.00 ISBN: 0743239709

It's Only A Movie is as close to an autobiography by Alfred Hitchcock that you could ever have. Drawn from years of interviews with her subject, his friends and the actors who worked with him on such classics as THE BIRDS, PSYCHO and REAR VIEW WINDOW, Charlotte Chandler has created a rich, complex, affectionate and honest picture of the man and his milieu. This is Hitchcock in his own voice and through the eyes of those who knew him better than anyone could.

Ian R MacLeod The House of Storms Published February 2005 by Simon Schuster at £12.99 ISBN: 0743256727 Artwork by: Jacket illustration: larry Rostsnt. Jacket design: S&S Art dept/David Mann

The age of aether still reigns; its pale glow illuminating the land. All bear the mark of aether's extraordinary influence, except the changelings, banished to Einfell, that strange land untouched by the Age of Industry, that lay at England's troubled heart. When Great Grandmistress Alice Meynell, ruthless matriarch of the Great Guild of Telegraphers, brings her son to Invercombe, west of Bristol, she expects him to die there. Though her power and grace are legendary, not even she can halt her son's disease. In desperation she travels to Einfell, to seek favour from one who once trusted her. And Ralph is cured. Far away from the filth of industrial London, he is drawn away from his family responsibilities to the world of nature and to a fisherman's daughter Marion Price. Together they plan to run away, to defy the rule of the Guilds, even to change the world and how it sees itself. But Alice will not let love stand in the way of her in her insatiable lust for power - nor the very land she professes to love - even if it means plunging England into a long and bloody civil war.

An astonishing work of imagination, Ian R. Macleod has created a truly original world, one that is strangely recognizable and yet utterly new, an England made of magic, but set amongst familiar hills and cities.

Second story by author of Decipher

When New York detective James North arrives at a hostage scene in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, he's disturbed to find the bad guy is asking for him by name. North has no idea who this man called Gene is, or why his own presence is so important. Frenzied, dangerous, and unpredictable the hostage situation quickly implodes leaving North injected with a serum that imparts hallucinations, nightmares and memories that are not his own. The hunt begins on the streets of New York, but the journey is not one of space, but of time. Gene is the story of forgotten Greek warrior Cyclades who fought against the magi Athanatos in the Trojan Wars. It is the tale of a quest for immortality and a thirst for revenge. Cyclades - feted by the gods to be reincarnated seven times - has returned. Cyclades and Athanatos. North and Gene. In this incarnation, neither knows which is which - or why each of them has the instinctive need to kill the other.
Like Decipher, Gene covers a vast scope of time and space, creating a unique and nail-biting thriller that will have readers on the edge of their seats until the very last, extraordinary page.
