comatose May, Brock will set in motion a plan that will either redeem all his
past wrongs or damn him to everlasting suffering. Which will he choose? Also,

TAMARA DREWE GN
Tamara Drewe has transformed herself. Plastic surgery, a different wardrobe and

mother lived Tamara arrives to clear up the house. Here she becomes an object of
lust, of envy, the focus of unrequited love, a seductress. To the village
teenagers she is “plastic-fantastic”, a role model. Ultimately, when her hot and
indiscriminate glances lead to tragedy, she is seen as a man-eater, a heartless
marriage wrecker, a slut. First appearing as a serial in The Guardian, in book
form, Tamara Drewe has been enlarged, embellished and lovingly improved by the
author. (9780224078177)

by Jake & Dinos Chapman
In their new book Bedtime Tales for Sleepless Nights, Jake and Dinos Chapman
re-imagine the Victorian morality tale. While their immorality tales are wrought
from the innocent language of the children’s colouring book, the messages they
sagely pass on to our younger folk are far from the saccharine-coated yarns
familiar to the genre. This is a beautiful, large-scale art book, packed with
images that have been made specifically for this project and have not been

RUSSIAN CRIMINAL TATTOO ENCYCLOPEDIA HC VOLUME 1
The photographs, drawings and texts published in the reprint of this book are
part of a collection of more than 3,000 tattoos accumulated over a lifetime by
prison attendant Danzig Baldaev. Tattoos were his gateway into a secret world in
which he acted as ethnographer, recording the rituals of a closed society. The
icons and tribal languages he documented are artful, distasteful, sexually
explicit and sometimes just strange, reflecting as they do the lives and
traditions of Russian convicts. Skulls, swastikas, harems of naked women, a
smiling Al Capone, medieval knights in armour, daggers sheathed in blood, benign
images of Christ, sweet-faced mothers and their babies, armies of tanks, and a
horned Lenin – these are the signs by which the people of this hidden world mark
and identify themselves. (9780955862076)

GREEN PORNO: A BOOK AND SHORT FILMS BY ISABELLA ROSSELLINI HC
When Isabella Rossellini and The Sundance Channel set out to make a series of
short films for the internet about the sex lives of animals, they had no idea
