Casa de Niebla se inicia con una advertencia: “No habrá asesinato ni asesino, pero sí existirá un crimen”. Ubicada en los primeros días del siglo XX, esta no vela cuenta la historia de Helga en una mansión cercada por la niebla, mientras el fantasma de Teresa aparece todas las noches rondando las aguas de la laguna. Se crea así la atmósfera de una novela llena de sombras y misterios para la protagonista, que vive el amor no correspondido e incursiona en la realidad onírica. Escrita en la década de los cuarenta, la estética gótica se elabora utilizando técnicas cinematográficas de aquella época en el estilo tan peculiar de María Luisa Bombal. El crimen descifrado a través del formato detectivesco arroja pistas sobre un adulterio que irónicamente resulta impune. Y en el contraste, lo sobrenatural -la vida más allá de la muerte- se presenta como aquello que no admite pesquisas racionales. Publicada en 1947 en inglés bajo el título House of mist y traducida hasta ahora al francés, sueco, portugués y japonés, después de sesenta y cinco años los lectores de habla hispana pueden acceder a la única obra inédita en español de una de las más grandes escritoras chilenas y latinoamericanas del siglo XX.

The fundamental work of María Luisa Bombal can be contained in a small volume, of which La amortajada (1938) constitutes, undoubtedly, a central piece. In this unique novel a dreamlike and magical universe is exhibited, in which reality and dream are confused. The narrative voice of a dead woman (the shroud) allows the author to unfold the vision of a female life tormented by love, mismatch and the impossibility of life. Representative of the most important female literature in Castilian language, the work of María Luisa Bombal is among the purest expressions of contemporary Spanish American literature.

“If you’re interested in assuring that you obtain real tangible results with your spells and are willing to put the work into doing so, this is definitely the book for you. Completely filled with some amazing insights, ideas, and tips that come from experience. [Miller’s] ideas are some that I’ve never seen in other books. This book alone completely changed how I approach giving offerings to spirits and deities.” —Mat Auryn, author of Psychic Witch   This book is about real magick, effecting real change, in a real world. There are some books on magick that teach it purely as spiritual advancement. There are others that teach it as a form of psychological self-help that affects only inner change. While magick can and should be both of these, it is something more. Real Sorcery is about success in practical magick; it is a book that aims at change in both the outer and inner worlds.   Beyond a mere spell book or training course, Real Sorcery is a field manual on successful sorcery written by a professional sorcerer. The first part of the book lays out the qualities, concepts, and exercises necessary to attempt practical magick. The second part presents clear strategies for tackling almost any type of issue with sorcery.   In this book you will learn how Attack problems from multiple angles, not just by casting a spell Blend mundane and magical action to ensure success Figure out whether what you are doing is working, and fix it if it isn’t Go beyond readings, into magical intelligence-gathering Influence the minds of other people Work most effectively on behalf of others This book was previously published as The Sorcerer’s Secrets by New Page Books in 2009.

Across the galaxy, the Clone Wars are raging. The Separatists, led by Count Dooku, the onetime Jedi and now secret Sith Lord, continue to press forward, and more and more worlds are either falling, or seceding and joining the cause.

Psyche A. Williams-Forson is one of our leading thinkers about food in America. In Eating While Black, she offers her knowledge and experience to illuminate how anti-Black racism operates in the practice and culture of eating. She shows how mass media, nutrition science, economics, and public policy drive entrenched opinions among both Black and non-Black Americans about what is healthful and right to eat. Distorted views of how and what Black people eat are pervasive, bolstering the belief that they must be corrected and regulated. What is at stake is nothing less than whether Americans can learn to embrace nonracist understandings and practices in relation to food. Sustainable culture—what keeps a community alive and thriving—is essential to Black peoples’ fight for access and equity, and food is central to this fight. Starkly exposing the rampant shaming and policing around how Black people eat, Williams-Forson contemplates food’s role in cultural transmission, belonging, homemaking, and survival. Black people’s relationships to food have historically been connected to extreme forms of control and scarcity—as well as to stunning creativity and ingenuity. In advancing dialogue about eating and race, this book urges us to think and talk about food in new ways in order to improve American society on both personal and structural levels. Psyche A. Williams-Forson, the author of Building Houses out of Chicken Legs: Black Women, Food, and Power is a professor of American studies at the University of Maryland, College Park.

A first of its kind narrative poetry in a thriller genre "Twisted and curved Its spine is intertwined Faceless, skinless, ashen teeth deflected Cries beyond the dead, carries it mimed Its soul dead, relentless, unreflected Seeking a splash of human wine Pools of blood, deeply sanguine!"
