1st Edition - 1st printing.

By David Icke.

Who are the Children of the Matrix? We are. All of us.

How an interdimensional race has controlled the world for thousands of years - and still does.

We are born into a world controlled by unseen forces that have plagued and manipulated humanity for thousands of years.

No, this is no script from a Hollywood movie. It is happening to you NOW. You may look around and think that what you see is real. But in truth you are living in an illusion - an illusion designed to keep you in a mental, emotional, and spiritual prison cell. David Icke exposes these forces and their methods of human control and he reveals a fantastic web of global manipulation, orchestrated by forces beyond this physical realm. He exposes the hidden bloodlines, through which other-dimensional entities live and operate unseen among us; and he shows how the bloodlines of the royal, political, and economic rulers of today are the same as those who ruled as the kings and queens of ancient times. Icke takes the story on from his highly acclaimed And The Truth Shall Set You Free and The Biggest Secret, and he lifts still further the veil of secrecy that has maintained humanity in manipulated ignorance for so long.

The truth is not only out there. Much of it is right here. Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 450 pages, Text.

By Sarah Rees Brennan.

From the creator of Riverdale, this prequel YA novel tells an all-new, original story based on The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, the hit Netflix series based on the recent Archie Comics horror title!

It's the summer before her sixteenth birthday, and Sabrina Spellman knows her world is about to change. She's always studied magic and spells with her aunts, Hilda and Zelda. But she's also lived a normal mortal life - attending Baxter High, hanging out with her friends Susie and Roz, and going to the movies with her boyfriend, Harvey Kinkle. Now time is running out on her everyday, normal world, and leaving behind Roz and Susie and Harvey is a lot harder than she thought it would be. Especially because Sabrina isn't sure how Harvey feels about her. Her cousin Ambrose suggests performing a spell to discover Harvey's true feelings. But when a mysterious wood spirit interferes, the spell backfires... in a big way.

Sabrina has always been attracted to the power of being a witch. But now she can't help wondering if that power is leading her down the wrong path. Will she choose to forsake the path of light and follow the path of night?

By Stephen King.

Arnold "Arnie" Cunningham is an unassuming teen. He's not good in sports. He's not good with the girls. He lives in the shadow of overbearing parents, and under the constant threat of bullies. And, he's not going anywhere fast. Then one day he meet Christine, a fixer-upper that could become the car of his dreams.

He pours all his love into Christine and turns into the beautiful red and white 1958 Plymouth Fury she was always meant to be. Christine gives Arnie all the confidence to make changes in his life. However, Arnie's best friend, Dennis, and his new girlfriend, Leigh, are beginning to notice changes in Arnie, dark changes. And when certain kids start turning up dead, all eyes begin to turn toward Arnie and his new dark demeanor.

Popular Culture and Philosophy: Book 15 - 1st printing. "The Lion, the Witch, and the Worldview!" Edited by Gregory Bassham and Jerry L. Walls. Pushing through some mothballed fur coats in a wardrobe in a disused room of an old London house, Lucy and the other Pevensie children found themselves in a strange and wonderful country, populated by creatures unknown in our world. Philosophy, too, can take us into a magical new place with its own peculiar delights and dangers. Here twenty-four philosophers and Narnia fans relate some of the things they have witnessed in the weird world of Narnia and the even weirder world of philosophy. Philosophy, it turns out, can be as addictive as the White Witchs turkish delight, though hopefully not always so frustrating. Under what conditions should we believe a story that runs counter to all our experience? Does might make right or are there objective moral rules? Would Albert Einstein have made any sense of the claim that time can flow at different rates in different worlds? If a boy is turned into a dragon, is the dragon still the same person as the boy? Can salvation be found in many religions or only in one? Do animals—even the ones that dont talk—have souls? Softcover, 288 pages, Text Only Cover price $17.95.
