If Videodrome and Taxi Driver had a bastard child... this would be it. Welcome to the Video Store, where once you've seen what is on one of their videos, you will never be able to un-see it. Past the neon, and that strange plastic smell, works a man on the edge of self destruction. Because he can't un-see it.

One group of violent felons... One innocent child... One violent death film... One extremely violent detective... All coming together in a city ready to erupt in a relentless summer's heat. There is only one possible result - bullets fly furiously, blood pours copiously and bodies tumble lifelessly. Detective Reid Hollow becomes a hunter in a sea of human scum, acting as lawlessly and more aggressively than the criminals he stalks through alleys, warehouses and cheap hotels. Fueled by an obsession with death and the mental scars of a life of violence Hollow takes this case personally and will stop at nothing to destroy the people who murdered this poor child for their own debased pleasures. Not for readers under 18 years of age, this book takes the noir genre and grinds it mercilessly into a new direction: HARD CORE NOIR. This is a raw, sweaty fistful of a crime story, filled with contemptible creeps and believable, nasty action. Reid Hollow is a relentless, violent and lawless character... and he's the "good guy!" This gory noir would have scared all of the other books out of the wire rack in a 1930s smoke shop. Mike Howlett, The Weird World of Eerie Publications

Over the last decade, the worldwide church has seen a reawakening around prayer and fasting, but how does an individual believer or a local church engage with this in such a way that is full of grace and sustainable?Invitation to a Fast is a follow up to This Chosen Fast (Ark House) and will give you all the tools to answer that question. It presents a survey of all of the major biblical texts. It has a multitude of personal stories and tips to make fasting accessible. And it is all wrapped in a grace covered, invitational framework that can be missing from so many works-orientated fasting discussions.Invitation to a Fast is an opportunity to delve deeply in scripture, engage with an author who has fasted for multiple 3 day, 7 day, 21 day and 40 days fasts, and throw off guilt around prayer and fasting and respond to the heavenly invitation to change the history of the world.
