A Journey on Board a Timecraft

The Time Engine Reversed

By: Karl Hesper

While still a little boy Delham Yorg loses both his parents in a rail accident. His unscrupulous aunt avails herself of the opportunity and manages to inherit the whole of his grandfather’s wealth, leaving him without a penny to live on. Being fond of sports cars and speed driving he is delighted to see on T.V. a science-fiction ‘time craft’ that can go faster than light. While apprenticed as a mechanic in a garage, he is fired for damaging a client’s car by driving faster than normal in trying it. He works as a salesman in a bookshop, becomes a self-taught philosopher among books, but soon has to lose his new job because he makes love to a female client inside the shop during the absence of his employer. Meanwhile his aunt falls and dies on the steps of the grandfather’s house she has usurped. Being the next of kin and the only relative of the old woman he inherits all the fortune she has stolen. Some of her servants charge him with killing her. Also he is suspected of having committed a number of crimes, including the use of carbombs to blow up schools and hospitals. His girl friend, too, is in trouble: she is accused by her brother-in-law of having murdered her husband. Both lovers take to flight on what his imagination saw as a ‘time craft’. The outcome: a tragedy he could neither forecast nor help.

A Manifestation of Monsters: Examining the (Un)Usual Suspects

By: Karl P. N. Shuker

The spectacular front-cover painting by American artist Michael J. Smith, depicting 17 astonishing mystery beasts and other controversial entities, was the inspiration for this latest book by leading cryptozoologist Dr. Karl Shuker. Ever since first seeing it in 2012, Shuker has wanted to prepare a book incorporating this painting's eclectic company of creatures, but the fundamental problem that he faced was how to categorize them collectively. What single term could be used that would encompass this exceedingly diverse array of forms, plus the many additional creatures also to be included in the book? "Cryptid" was not sufficiently comprehensive, nor was "mystery creature" or "unknown animal," because some of the depicted beasts seemingly exist beyond the perimeters-and parameters-of cryptozoology's traditional confines. Eventually, Shuker concluded that only one such term could satisfy all those requirements. Indeed, it was tailor-made for this purpose. The term? What else could it be? "Monster" Derived from the Latin noun "monstrum" and the Old French "monstre," "monster" has many different definitions-a very strange, frightening, possibly evil/ugly mythical creature; something huge and/or threatening; a mutant, or abnormal animal; even something extraordinary, astonishing, incredible, unnatural, inexplicable. These definitions collectively cover all of this book's subjects-and so too, therefore, does the single word "monster" from which the definitions derive. Consequently, this book is a manifestation of monsters-a unique exhibition, a singular gathering, an exceptional congregation of some of the strangest, most mystifying, and sometimes truly terrifying creatures ever reported.

Dragons in Zoology, Cryptozoology, and Culture

By: Karl P. N. Shuker

Of all the countless legendary beasts that have been conjured forth from the seemingly limitless capacity of the human imagination, none can remotely compare with the dragon for its sheer diversity of form, its symbolic significance, and its cross-cultural presence. Dragons are everywhere-still glimpsed in the living, breathing beasts around us that inspired and engendered their birth in our far-distant ancestors' dreams, and nightmares; perennially encountered in the myriad of traditional myths and folklore woven into the fabric of every creed and culture around the world; and ever-visible within the innumerable outpourings of artistic creation that have graced and enhanced our species' existence across all temporal, political, social, and geographical boundaries. So from where, and from what, has such widespread-indeed, worldwide-belief in these creatures stemmed? There can be no doubt that a major factor influencing the origin of the dragon is early humanity's observations and interactions with various distinctive and potentially inimical creatures of reality sharing our world. Equally thought-provoking is how and why the dragon has become so intimately associated with our own species. This multi-faceted monster of mythology is more than amply represented visually, for example, by artwork of every conceivable style, age, and category. And the dragon's status in religion, dreams, alchemy, psychology, astrology, literature, movies, and music is as compelling as it is complex. These many diverse but equally captivating themes are all fully explored in this spellbinding book's uniquely comprehensive coverage, and provide ample confirmation that there is no sign whatsoever of waning interest for what must surely be the most vibrant, tenacious, and fascinating creature that has never existed-the dragon.
