Book Description
Nicola von Weber is no ordinary schoolgirl. Endowed with memories of a past life as a Shinto exorcist and natural psychic abilities, she uses her exorcism skills to protect others from malevolent apparitions. Her regular client is Sieghart von Edelstein, a childhood friend and a ravishingly beautiful marquess. Ever since Nicola saved him as a small boy, he's been smitten with her, but she is less enthusiastic about him. In this first installment, Nicola clashes with ghosts, doppelgangers, and more than one ill-fated romance. Most spooky apparitions seem to spawn around the school, where the students' propensity for gossip provides ample sustenance for their existence. Here, the more vividly one imagines something, the more likely it is to come true. However, as first-year student Nicola ventures beyond her schoolgirl life at The Royal Academy, she finds that the tenacity of spirits (and grudges) means that they can turn up in the strangest of places.

Book Description
In their search for Alois, Nicola and Sieghart have found themselves trapped in a ruined manor by a supernatural presence. As they work to extricate themselves from the domain of a being more powerful than any they’ve faced so far, Nicola finds clues that will lead her closer to the truth behind the grisly death she faced in her past life—and her surprise reincarnation. But these revelations unfold in tandem with a series of dastardly curses... In this emotional conclusion, new suspicions arise as bonds are strengthened. Trust and sacrifice will be needed to overcome malice and deception—even the most skeptical of Nicola’s friends will need to keep an open mind, and even the most timid will need to find courage.

Book Description
After an untimely death, a Shinto exorcist finds herself reincarnated into another world as Miss Nicola von Weber. And that’s just the start of her troubles. On Nicola’s first day at a new school, she’s reunited with her childhood friend Sieghart. He’s now a handsome marquess who acts like a spoiled child around her, and wherever he goes, strange incidents follow. You see, Sieghart’s beauty attracts both people and...otherworldly admirers. Nicola thus has to put her homework aside and use her skills as an exorcist to save him—all while trying to avoid his inevitable proposal, for Sieghart once swore he’d never marry anyone but her. And so Nicola’s hectic, haunted life continues with a splash of romance, which she almost finds more annoying than the ghosts. All Nicola wants is normalcy, and this is the story of how she’ll (try to) get it.

Book Description
Father Damien Karras: 'Where is Regan?' Regan MacNeil: 'In here. With us.' The terror begins unobtrusively. Noises in the attic. In the child's room, an odd smell, the displacement of furniture, an icy chill. At first, easy explanations are offered. Then frightening changes begin to appear in eleven-year-old Regan. Medical tests fail to shed any light on her symptoms, but it is as if a different personality has invaded her body. Father Damien Karras, a Jesuit priest, is called in. Is it possible that a demonic presence has possessed the child? Exorcism seems to be the only answer... First published in 1971, The Exorcist became a literary phenomenon and inspired one of the most shocking films ever made. This edition, polished and expanded by the author, includes new dialogue, a new character and a chilling new extended scene, provides an unforgettable reading experience that has lost none of its power to shock and continues to thrill and terrify new readers.

Book Description
"The Mafia? What is the Mafia? Something you eat? Something you drink? I don't know the Mafia. I have never seen it." So said Mommo Piromalli, a 'Ndrangheta crime boss, to a journalist in the seventies. In Mafiacraft, Deborah Puccio-Den explores the Mafia's reliance on the force of silence, and undertakes a new form of ethnographic inquiry that focuses on the questions, rather than the answers. For Puccio-Den, the Mafia is not a stable social fact, but a cognitive event shaped by actions of silence. Rather than inquiring about what has previously been written or said, she explores the imaginative power of silence and how it gives consistency to special kinds of social ties that draw their strength from a state of indetermination. What methods might anthropologists use to investigate silence and to understand the life of the denied, the unspeakable, and the unspoken? How do they resist, fight, or capitulate to the strength of words, or to the force of law? In Mafiacraft, Puccio-Den's addresses these questions with a fascinating anthropology of silence that opens up new ground for the study of the world's most famous criminal organization.
