The idea for this design comes from Berserk episode 303 Gyakko (Backlighting). When the Skull Knight brandished his sword, his cape was fluttering in the wind. You can see how the cape and the horse's tail are well-sculpted. This artwork is more dynamic and powerful than our previous Skull Knight statue which was released in 2007. The fantastic imagery is just like we see it in the manga. When it comes to color, we used iron-gray, metallic purple and dark green to represent the horse armor. And we added white gold to the decoration on the horse. The Skull Knight is just like a beacon of light in the darkness. The red Beherit sword is being made in great detail, and a normal sword is also attached. Furthermore, the vivid red base matches that of the Gyakko statue's diorama. You can enjoy this horse riding statue from all sides. There are over 80 parts for this new Skull Knight, so the sculpture and paint application on this item are much more difficult than on other statues. In order to provide high-quality statues, our artists devote a lot of time to carefully craft every item in our studio, instead of mass producing them in a factory. Minimize

Sculpted of cold cast resin with a chilling attention to detail, this skull statue is the perfect ornament for the dark at heart and those who favor such arcane decoration. Depicting a small, fanged skull, few details have been left unnoticed. From darkened patches within the eye sockets that seem slick with decay to the perforated surface that seems carved from a spinal column, it is grim in its realism even as the fangs jutting from an upper row of teeth and the silvery, metallic-looking tribal tattoos that bedeck the crown of the skull lend to it an aura of mysticism and fantasy. Measuring approximately 7 1/2" in length and 5" wide and 5 1/2" high, it can easily fit upon a desk or book shelf, as well as an altar. Use it to decorate your sacred space and lend to it the ancient feel of the laboratory and study of the alchemists, scientists, and occultists of old. Minimize

Blending style and function, this letter opener set makes a fantastic decoration for any desk. Standing 8 3/4" high and 5" wide, the letter opener's is a detailed statue of a fallen angel. With deceptively innocent eyes, she gazes outward with her chin rested upon the back of one hand while she kneels down upon a knee amid scattered roses and skulls. Her fiery red hair falls down her back, spilling around the black feathered wings folded close to her body. With one arm raised, she holds a black and red snake-the serpent of temptation-which coils around a wicked looking sword, holding it aloft for the black-winged angel. The sword itself is 7" long and removable; a solid and functioning letter opener that, until removed, seems but a delightful accent to this statue. Minimize

The bones of a garden refers to its skeletal structure, the basic organizational form of a garden's plantings and permanent structures. The poems collected here are "the bones" of my life's garden, beginning the faith stories I was raised on and have re-read through the years in the Old and New Testaments of the Bible. Included also are "the bones" of family. Since I know that all of our children and grandchildren will immediately calculate whether or not they have equal space, I have made certain that each one is the subject of one poem. There are others in my files for my next publication, but for now I am satisfied that no one member of the family has the spotlight. People and nature are prominent themes in this book of poetry that moves through America as I travel. A view across Central Park from East to West spreads the dawn of early morning: "A celestial match/ scrapes its head along concrete ledges/ until golden flames ignite behind black glass." The Oklahoma plains appear as "wind-cleansed land/ sighing between two oceans." People are observed from birth to death: a new-born who "mews like a kitten," and nursing home patients in "rooms occupied by slumping ghosts." A homeless man from somewhere and everywhere ". . . kneels/ as if in prayer beside one bag/ ripped open with a rusty key" at the same time an apartment tenant chooses colors that "unroll hope into living/ camouflage impermanence/ celebrate spaces/ storing renter's dreams." My wish for the readers of these "bones" is that they will walk in their own gardens of discovery and perhaps enjoy what Anna Quindlen exquisitely defines as the poetic experience: ". . . the heart coming around the corner and unexpectedly running into the mind."

The massacre at Haun’s Mill is a defining moment in the his ... Read more

The massacre at Haun’s Mill is a defining moment in the history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints or Mormon Church. The Mormons were at war in 1838. They had come to Missouri at the urging of their prophet, Joseph Smith, but after a short time found themselves at odds with the original settlers. Armed militia, both Mormon and gentile, roamed the country. On October 7, 1838, Governor Lillburn Boggs issued his infamous order: “The Mormons must be treated as enemies, and must be exterminated or driven from the state.”Gathered in this new work are eyewitness testimonies of the massacre and its aftermath by those who were on the scene. The accounts of Joseph Young, Amanda Smith, Willard Gilbert Smith, Austin Hammer, Artemisia Sidnie Meyers, Nathan Kinsman Knight, Thomas McBride, Isaac Laney, Olive Ames, and others are heart-rending and vivid.On October 30, 1838, a group of Missouri militia attacked the small Mormon settlement at Haun’s Mill on Shoal Creek, killing seventeen men and boys and wounding eleven men, one woman, and one child. The conflict between the Missourians and the Mormons was in many ways inevitable. The Mormons had their own business and economic system. Clannish people, they voted in a bloc, thus tipping elections in their favor. They had a “different” religion and considered their faith superior to all others. Unlike most of their neighbors, they were friendly to the Indians and were thought to be abolitionists. The Missourians saw them as interlopers to be driven out.Set in context by the author, these documentary accounts dramatically portray the suffering of the Saints during and after the episode. An important event in Latter-day Saints history that helped mold Mormon attitudes and posturing toward the outside world in following decades, the Haun’s Mill Massacre still resonates today in the hearts and minds of Mormons as a manifestation of religious persecution.The book has a bibliography and index. It is bound in wine linen cloth and has a foil stamped spine and front cover. Minimize

It's a bright and beautiful spring day, and Pearl, a pig, is dawdling on her way home from school. Most unexpectedly, she strikes up an acquaintance with a small bone. "You talk?" says Pearl. "In any language," says the bone. "And I can imitate any sound there is." (Its former owner was a witch.) Pearl and the bone immediately take a liking to each other, and before you know it she is on her way home with the bone in her purse, left open so they can continue their conversation. Won't her parents be surprised when she introduces her talking bone!But before that happy moment comes, the resourceful bone must deal with a band of highway robbers in Halloween masks and, worse, a fox who decides that Pearl will be his main course at dinner that night.

In 2001, Tim Booth unexpectedly walked away from his former band James, shortly after selling over 1-million copies of a greatest hits album and landing the theme song to the film "American Pie" with "Laid." It takes a brave man to know when to call it quits in this business. It takes a braver man to start again. Is it any wonder Booth's solo debut radiates confidence, from the topless photo of his significant other on the cover to "Redneck," a song slamming old friends who lost his number after he lost his fan base. 'Bone is loose and fun, slapping Mediterranean rhythms and electronic burps over the songwriter's trademark arena melodies while delivering at least one or two new songs that will surely find a place on his next 'Best Of' collection. --Aidin Vaziri Minimize

These short pieces, are, like The King and Other Stories, a collection of easy to read stories and articles that are designed to be treats for my readers. Nothing to hurt the head, but perhaps something to make you smile, or even think a little--but not too much.The stories in The King were all pretty much pulp and absurdist pieces. This collection contains a few stories of weight, even though they are short.The bottom line is they are designed for immediate consumption, the perfect kind of story for the busy day. Because, if you're like me, even on my busiest day, I like to find a few moments to read, even if it's only a chapter from a novel, a scene I've enjoyed reading before, a short story, or, what we used to call short-shorts. The articles though a little less flash like, are still quick reads and are probably best appreciated by those who like to read about writing and writers.Again, I thank all of you who have bought my short story collections and novels and comic books. Stay with me. I keep having new stories come to visit all the time. They're friendly, and they like to meet other readers other than me. Here are a few of the friendlier ones. They aren't complex friends, but you couldn't find any more well meaning than these.Read on. Minimize

Monkey Holding Skull (Affe mit Schadel, 1892-93): The small, bronze sculpture 'Monkey with skull' or also known as 'Philosophizing Monkey' attracted a great deal of attention at the Berlin Art Exhibition in 1893. It was Rheinhold's first sculpture as a professional sculptor and was an immediate commercial success. The Berlin bronze foundry H. Gladenbeck & Sohn marketed various versions of the adorable monkey. A copy even graced Nikolai Lenin's desk at the Kremlin from 1922 onwards. One of the books the monkey is seated on bears the Biblical quote: Eritis Sicut Deus (Genesis III, 5). 'Thou shalt be as God' which paraphrases the words the serpent spoke to Eve to entice her to taste the apple. Another of the books has the name Darwin, presumably referencing the legendary study by Charles Darwin "On the Origins of Species". Minimize

Fina is a big girl with a big mouth. She's the neighborhood bruja, or spirit worker as she likes to call herself, casting spells for her neighbors in Manhattan's Upper West Side. She can't believe it, though, when she puts an accidental fufu or spell on Chico, the irresistible trumpet player who lives upstairs. "With so many scraps of his clothing . . . sprinkled with blood, gunpowder, sugar, spit, and God knows what else, poor Chico's body didn't know if it was being cursed or blessed." Chico recovers just as two women from his past turn up: his former beauty-queen lover and an attractive young woman claiming to be his long-dead daughter. Fina is not pleased. So she visits her mentor, Tata Victor Tumba Fuego, Master of Fire. He specializes in Palo Monte, the Afro-Caribbean magical art of controlling and manipulating spirits housed in cauldrons. The Ancient One, the oldest spirit working for Victor, wants a blood sacrifice from Fina, something she has managed to avoid. "We ain't on the island no more, we don't sacrifice in the mountains of Africa or Cuba; we do it in our apartments." But she needs help, so she'll do what it takes. All too soon she finds herself involved with a spirit whose quest for revenge can't be stopped. Weaving Afro-Caribbean witchcraft rituals with the sixteen-year-old mystery of a woman's disappearance, Outside the Bones is an erotically charged ghost story set in both present-day New York and Puerto Rico. Following in the tradition of Anne Rice, Lyn Di Iorio s brilliant debut novel takes a mesmerizing look at issues of race, class, power and greed. Minimize
