Clive January, a black man and successful Wall Street banker. A husband, father and lover of a woman with whom he'd shared an obsessive love since before his marriage to another. And now he's dead, shot in the back at his sumptuous Long Island summer home. When the story opens we see Clive's ghost who has realized that he must work through Bob Greene, the white detective assigned to his case in order to discover his murderer. Clive is trapped in a world between heaven and hell and his only hope for peace is to find out who killed him. Bit by bit, through dreams and by taking over Bob's consciousness, he reveals his life leading up to the murder in the hope that if Bob knows what really happened, he can find Clive's murderer before it's too late. A DEAD MAN SPEAKS is the story of two men who need each other to complete their lives -- one living the other dead --- one to move forward in this life and the other to move forward in the next. It's about two men with two very different lives who are bound together by one murder that neither can escape. Clive January, a black man and brash Wall Street entrepreneur who is hated by many and understood by few and Bob Greene the white detective living in the shadow of a failed career and determined to prove that he's still got it. Bob Greene is psychic and with his gift of clairvoyance, he re-lives the bitter pieces of Clive's life, Clive January the poor boy from the South, who hated himself, never knowing why until it was too late. Clive, the husband and successful Wall street banker whose life had spiraled out of control. Told primarily through Clive's voice and then Detective Bob's, a complex story is layered from their two perspectives, until the truth is revealed in a wrenching ending that neither ever suspected.

This monumental book, first published in 1992, represents a major contribution to Sephardic and Hispanic studies as well as to comparative folklore scholarship in a worldwide perspective. After many years of fieldwork and extensive archival investigations in Spain, Israel and the United States, the author has brought together and analysed a massive body of primary sources. This is the first collection of Sephardic narratives offered to the English-speaking reader, and constitutes an important addition to the understanding of Sephardic cultural tradition.

#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A profoundly moving spiritual journey through our system of capital punishment and an unprecedented look at the human consequences of the death penalty • "Stunning moral clarity.” —The Washington Post Book World • Basis for the award-winning major motion picture starring Susan Sarandon and Sean Penn "Sister Prejean is an excellent writer, direct and honest and unsentimental. . . . She almost palpably extends a hand to her readers.” —The New York Times Book Review In 1982, Sister Helen Prejean became the spiritual advisor to Patrick Sonnier, the convicted killer of two teenagers who was sentenced to die in the electric chair of Louisiana’s Angola State Prison. In the months before Sonnier’s death, the Roman Catholic nun came to know a man who was as terrified as he had once been terrifying. She also came to know the families of the victims and the men whose job it was to execute—men who often harbored doubts about the rightness of what they were doing. Out of that dreadful intimacy comes a profoundly moving spiritual journey through our system of capital punishment. Here Sister Helen confronts both the plight of the condemned and the rage of the bereaved, the fears of a society shattered by violence and the Christian imperative of love. On its original publication in 1993, Dead Man Walking emerged as an unprecedented look at the human consequences of the death penalty. Now, some two decades later, this story—which has inspired a film, a stage play, an opera and a musical album—is more gut-wrenching than ever, stirring deep and life-changing reflection in all who encounter it.

The intimate personal journals of two occultists practising western magick to achieve “The Great Work” (also known as “awakening” or “enlightenment”). With its humour, honesty, and down-to-earth approach, extending beyond the cult following it gained after its original publication in the late noughties, The Baptist's Head Compendium has proved itself a seminal text and indispensable guide to anyone suspicious of or disillusioned by magick purely as a tool for personal power or material gain. Sharing the details of their discoveries – and mistakes – in the process of making them, Chapman and Barford demonstrate how magick is a genuine spiritual tradition leading to enlightenment. They have their minds blown and the strangest experiences of their lives! By holding nothing back, but sharing all results and methods, the reader is equipped to embark on their own exploration of magick as a path to spiritual awakening. Originally published as a trilogy, but long since out-of-print, these books are now available for the first time in a single volume, revised and updated with new introductions by the authors.
