- A brief guide to Celtic myths & legends / by Whittock, Martyn,1958-(CARDINAL)188983;
"In this wide-ranging and very readable introduction to the myths and legends of the Celts--a world of giants, tumultuous storms, magic cauldrons, fierce warriors, and severed heads that talk--Whittock draws extensively on up-to-date archeological evidence, Greek and Roman inscriptions, and medieval Irish and Welsh manuscripts. He also examines the later Breton literature--and, where written evidence is scarce, enduring oral traditions. Such recourse to recent research enables an interpretation that is both fresh and authentic of characters such as the Irish gods before gods, the Fomorians; the children of Lr̕, the sea diety; the hunter-warrior Finn mac Cumhaill, whose exploits are chronicled in the Fenian Cycle; C C͠hulainn, the Hound of Ulster; the Welsh heroes of the Mabinogion; and the mythical Welsh Arthur, who predates the medieval legends. In addition to examining the myths of the Irish and the Welsh, this account also explores the related mythologies of Scotland, Cornwall, the Isle of Man, and Brittany."--from cover, p.

- Poems dead and undead / by Barnstone, Tony,editor.(CARDINAL)363816; Mitchell-Foust, Michelle,editor.(CARDINAL)651040;
"An anthology of poems about ghosts, vampires, zombies, and demons, from ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia up to the present"--"In time for Halloween: a one-of-a-kind hardcover collection of poems from ancient times to the present about ghosts, zombies, and vampires. EVERYMAN'S LIBRARY POCKET POETS. This selection of poems from across the ages brings to life a staggering array of zombies, ghosts, vampires, and devils. Our culture's current obsession with zombies and vampires is only the latest form of a fascination with crossing the boundary between the living and the dead that has haunted humans since we first began writing. The poetic evidence gathered here ranges from ancient Egyptian inscriptions and the Mesopotamian epic Gilgamesh to the Greek bard Homer, and from Shakespeare and Milton and Keats to Emily Dickinson and Edgar Allan Poe. Here too are terrifying apparitions from a host of more recent poets, from T. S. Eliot and Sylvia Plath to Rita Dove and Billy Collins, from Allen Ginsberg and H. P. Lovecraft to Mick Jagger and Shel Silverstein. The result is a delightfully entertaining volume of spine-tingling poems for fans of horror and poetry both"--- Subjects: Paranormal poetry.; Horror poetry.; Poetry.; Ghosts; Vampires; Zombies; Demonology;

- What to expect when you're dead : an ancient tour of death and the afterlife / by Garland, Robert,1947-author.(CARDINAL)293045;
Includes bibliographical references and index.How humans came to believe in an afterlife -- How to achieve a good death -- Between two worlds -- Postmortem judgment -- Heaven and hell -- Things to do when you're dead -- How to dispose of the body -- Where to deposit the remains -- Living with the dead -- What if...?"A lively story of death, What to Expect When You're Dead explores the fascinating death-related beliefs and practices of a wide range of ancient cultures and traditions--Mesopotamian, Egyptian, Hindu, Jewish, Zoroastrian, Etruscan, Greek, Roman, Early Christian, and Islamic. By drawing on the latest scholarship on ancient archaeology, art, literature, and funerary inscriptions, Robert Garland invites readers to put themselves in the sandals of ancient peoples and to imagine their mental state moment by moment as they sought--in ways that turn out to be remarkably similar to ours--to assist the dead on their journey to the next world and to understand life's greatest mystery. What to Expect When You're Dead chronicles the ways ancient peoples answered questions such as: How to achieve a good death and afterlife? What's the best way to dispose of a body? Do the dead face a postmortem judgement--and where do they end up? Do the dead have bodies in the afterlife--and can they eat, drink, and have sex? And what can the living do to stay on good terms with the nonliving? Filled with intriguing stories and frequent humor, What to Expect When You're Dead will be a morbidly delicious treat for every reader alive. "--- Subjects: Informational works.; Death; Future life;
