Book Description
The Empty Seashell explores what it is like to live in a world where cannibal witches are undeniably real, yet too ephemeral and contradictory to be an object of belief. In a book based on more than three years of fieldwork between 1991 and 2011, Nils Bubandt argues that cannibal witches for people in the coastal, and predominantly Christian, community of Buli in the Indonesian province of North Maluku are both corporeally real and fundamentally unknowable.Witches (known as gua in the Buli language or as suanggi in regional Malay) appear to be ordinary humans but sometimes, especially at night, they take other forms and attack people in order to kill them and eat their livers. They are seemingly everywhere and nowhere at the same time. The reality of gua, therefore, can never be pinned down. The title of the book comes from the empty nautilus shells that regularly drift ashore around Buli village. Convention has it that if you find a live nautilus, you are a gua. Like the empty shells, witchcraft always seems to recede from experience.Bubandt begins the book by recounting his own confusion and frustration in coming to terms with the contradictory and inaccessible nature of witchcraft realities in Buli. A detailed ethnography of the encompassing inaccessibility of Buli witchcraft leads him to the conclusion that much of the anthropological literature, which views witchcraft as a system of beliefs with genuine explanatory power, is off the mark. Witchcraft for the Buli people doesn't explain anything. In fact, it does the opposite: it confuses, obfuscates, and frustrates. Drawing upon Jacques Derrida's concept of aporia—an interminable experience that remains continuously in doubt—Bubandt suggests the need to take seriously people's experiential and epistemological doubts about witchcraft, and outlines, by extension, a novel way of thinking about witchcraft and its relation to modernity.

Book Description
When the day finally came that hardened criminal Eli Coulden could walk out of prison a free man, his first act was a vow to turn his back on the way of life that led him there in the first place. Unfortunately for him though, it quickly became clear that the time he spent in the cells wasn't enough to shake off his troubled past, and a mysterious note sent to him upon his release threatens to thwart Coulden's new start before it has even begun. Tasked to finish the job he started in order to finally be free of the sins of his past, Coulden is once again forced to deal with a side of him he never wanted to admit existed, a side of him that sent shivers down the spine of anyone who ever crossed his path, a side that he promised to never unleash again. Hot on his trail is the volatile DC Edgen, a police officer who's been waiting in the shadows to finally make sure that Coulden would never again be allowed to repeat what he started all those years ago. Having never met but with their fates almost destined to intertwine, the two men begin a bloody game of cat-and-mouse through the rainy backstreets of Britain. But when the sides of good and evil are blurred and there's no one you can trust, both Coulden and Edgen are forced to admit that they might not be so different after all. A brutal and unforgiving exploration of man's relationship with his inner demons, Wayne Catterall's debut crime novel, Empty Shells, refuses to pull any punches. An epic crime story that spans two bloody events years apart, Empty Shells promises to be one of the most unpredictable and uncompromising thrillers you've read in years.
