![]() ![]() The city is plagued by unexplained and gruesome deaths, and the police themselves are subjugated under the power of the three witches - and a mysterious fourth witch who follows them (and what about ‘the 5th witch’?). Each of the three major crime bosses in Los Angeles now has a mysterious woman accompanying him, using sinister powers to further his goals. ![]() Detective Dan Fisher quickly realizes that their deaths were no accident - and not even a natural death. While trying to gain incriminating evidence about one of the city’s crime bosses, they are burned to death in their car - but only after spitting up a stomach full of cockroaches each. The tale begins with the bizarre deaths of 3 undercover police officers. I finally got a chance to read one of Graham Masterton’s most recent novels, The 5th Witch, and I thought I’d share some thoughts about it! (In fact, there’s an even more recent novel, House of Bones, which I’m going to get ASAP.) ![]()

What is it that you picture when you think of the sea? Add in a picnic on the sand with a French baguette and some brie cheese on a weekend afternoon and it’s like my mind is guiding me on my own mediation through imagination. I can’t help envisioning myself staring out at the ocean on a summer day and smelling the sea salt while my hair blows back and forth in the sea breeze. There is something about the word ‘sea’ that allows an immediate sense of calm to wash over me. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() To serial slayer Andrew Compton, murder is an art, the most intimate art.

The Revolutionaries' victory at Cowpens was one of the brightest American tactical moments in the War for Independence and a contributing factor toward the eventual British surrender at Yorktown. Babits, an associate professor of maritime history and nautical archaeology at East Carolina State University, painstakingly combed through pension records, participants' accounts, and contemporary maps in order to produce this sophisticated and deftly written examination of one of the American Revolution's key battles.
