Mark Mirabello sa špecializuje na históriu psancov a okrajových oblastí ľudskej civilizácie. Jeho rozsiahle dielo sa zaoberá nadprirodzenými javmi, podivnými aspektmi ľudskej povahy aj obyčajným svetom, často z perspektívy rebelstva a odporu voči autoritám. Mirabello skúma alternatívne náboženstvá, tajné spoločnosti a intelektuálnu históriu, pričom jeho prístup je charakterizovaný ako spochybňujúci oficiálne naratívy. Jeho práce ponúka čitateľom prenikavý pohľad na skryté a často zabudnuté aspekty ľudskej skúsenosti a histórie.
This is a book about freedom. Written for intellectual swashbucklers -- men and women who are radicals in politics and infidels in religion -- warriors who hammer the stake of fear into the heart of tyranny -- this volume belongs in select book collections, between the black magic and the pornography texts.
In this engaging and original book Abel explains the rise to prominence in Western Music of a new rhythm: Groove.
"They raped me and ate my friend alive." Thus starts this work of erotic horror fiction filled with 'sacrilege, blasphemy, and crime' -- written in a style that is part H P Lovecraft, part Marquis de Sade, and part Octave Mirbeau -- "The Cannibal Within" is literally 'wet with sin, slippery with blood, and slimy with fornication.' The novel's central character is part Lara Croft part Sarah Connor. She/We has a choice: the evil may be patiently borne or savagely resisted. We may think we are special -- holy, honoured, valued -- God's chosen primates -- but that is a fraud. The dupes of superhuman forces, we are misfits and abominations. We have no higher purpose -- no saviour god died for our sins--we exist, only because our masters are infatuated with our meat.
A grand survey of the world's death and afterlife traditions throughout history.
