'Every page is illuminating' Philippa Gregory Praise for Malcolm Gaskill: 'The best and most enjoyable history writing ... Gaskill goes to meet the past on its own terms and in its own place ... Thought-provoking and absorbing' Hilary Mantel The supernatural has always been part of human experience. Divine and diabolical forces were as dangerous and mundane as rotten harvests and sweeping sicknesses. Miracles abounded. During the First World War, soldiers put faith in visions and protective charms, and Spiritualists were still believed to reach beyond the veil. When we understand the supernatural as a feeling, not an idea, we can grasp the truth behind our ancestors' fears and passions. In this thought-provoking book, Gaskill examines our haunted past from alchemical dens to witchcraft trials, and in uncanny encounters with mediums, vampires and flying nuns. Searching hearts as well as minds, he unlocks the secrets of the unseen world, opening a new perspective on the magical and marvellous.

THE UPLIFTING KOREAN BESTSELLER 'Do you like cats? Or do you know cats well? I never once imagined that I would raise one with my own hands in the mountains. And yet, quite unexpectedly, something unbelievable happened: a cat walked into my arms.' After more than a decade at a bustling city temple in Seoul, Bokyeong Sunim - the Venerable Bokyeong - moves to a rural mountain temple where, in the depths of winter, an unexpected guest appears on his doorstep: a ginger-and-white cat. Their everyday interactions unfold into generous and life-affirming meditations on cats, companionship, patience, the fleetingness of time, and the satisfactions and challenges of different ways of seeing the world. Drawing on years of learning, reflection and the Venerable Bokyeong's own practice, One Day a Cat Came to Me blends philosophy, mindfulness and connection with nature, powerfully capturing the essence of life in the company of others.
