Book Description
Do you dare set foot in Spooking? It's the terrible town on the hideous hill -- and Joy Wells is a proud resident. A fan of classic horror stories, Joy is convinced that famous author E. A. Peugeot based his spine-tingling tales on Spooking. Take the eerie similarities between the nearby swamp and the setting of his masterpiece, "The Bawl of the Bog Fiend." Could the story be true? Could the bog fiend be on the loose? Things become truly horrifying when Joy learns that Darlington, the despicable suburban city where she is forced to go to school, is planning to build a water park over her beloved bog. It is up to her to safeguard the endangered area and its secrets. Little does she know that there is someone determined to destroy not only the bog but the town of Spooking itself -- and anyone who dares stand in his way. P. J. Bracegirdle spins a yarn of delicious devilry and macabre mayhem in the very first book of The Joy of Spooking trilogy.

Book Description
Eleven-year-old Joy Wells is a literary horror fan and proud resident of Spooking, the run-down, eerie town at the top of the hill. At the bottom of the hill is Darlington, a plastic suburban 'paradise' where Joy and her brother go to school. When the mayor of Darlington announces that a water park is soon to be constructed over the Spooking Bog, Joy knows she must act quickly if she's going to save her ancient, beloved town from becoming just as cute and icky as Darlington. But the Spooking Bog holds many mysteries... Could the legend of the Bog Fiend be true? Who is the bizarre woman that lives there in the house on stilts? And what will become of it all when the bulldozers come rolling up the hill from Darlington? Joy is on a mission to find out, but someone wants to stop her, and they'll do whatever it takes...

Book Description
Today we find ourselves at a critical point in our history, looking at the myriad of problems and sins that we have committed and accumulated over the centuries. “A sinful world” explores this incredible journey, casting light on the processes and behaviours that led humanity until this crucial point. This awakening book will make the reader reflect, analysing years of human history. The consequences of our actions have an important impact on the environment and on basic human and social rights. This book scrutinizes the darker chapters of history, including slavery, colonialism, and genocides, to underscore the sins of the past that continue to shape our world today. “A sinful world” challenges us to consider our future moves, underlining the urgency in addressing some modern issues and reminding us that the choices we make today will impact future generations and will shape the world of tomorrow. Newton Phillip was born in Trinidad, West Indies and grew up in a Catholic orphanage where life wasn’t easy at all. Reaching the age of sixteen as it was with everyone else, he left the orphanage both with a job and somewhere to live which was provided by the orphanage as a start in life on one’s own. For four years the author struggled, drifting from job to job, acquiring no education, or skills. At the age of twenty he decided to join an old friend who had immigrated to England. The author started to work in a hotel before finding a job with British Telecom, where he remained until his retirement. Newton Phillip married at the age of twenty-eight and has three children.
