HERE BE DRAGONS! Behold the ultimate "Book of the Dragon" for modern magick-users and fantasy enthusiasts alike--now completely revised and expanded for its 25th anniversary. This underground cult-classic "Draconomicon" offers powerful teachings and lore of ancient "dragon magick" and its legacy. Discovering true knowledge, wisdom and power of the Dragon has never been easier! Joshua Free--a leading member of the occult underground for the past twenty-five years--provides seekers with a unique and remarkable treasury of esoteric knowledge in this new amazing collector's edition of what is sure to be the perfect addition to your library and/or "dragon collection." Come and initiate yourself to the Ancient Mystery School and venture on a progressive journey through the Dragon Legacy--beginning in the depths of the Primordial Abyss and primeval birth of the "Great Cosmic Dragon" and following through the many millennium of secret knowledge carried to the present age...and the future! Whether you are simply curious, or seeking to explore deep teachings that may incorporate "dragons" into your spiritual and magical systems, the Draconomicon is unparalleled research and testimony to a quarter-of-a-century modern occult evolution, sparking hundreds of traditions. The Dragon Legacy is an important and integral part of the history and traditions of all cultures, and subsequently underlies all cultural magical traditions--not to mention symbols and motifs that lie beneath the development of human civilization as a whole. Nothing is separate. And this is one of the lessons we learn from The Dragon--that everything is connected together and we cannot see things in exclusion to other things if we are to see things, with Self-honesty, for how they truly are--another gift of The Dragon. Hidden in the depths of the Dragon's Lair is an untold legacy of knowledge and power, secret societies and bloodlines, cults and symbols encompassing our entire material existence--and the means by which it can be controlled. It is quite possible this is among the best kept secrets in the history of occultism, even enshrouded in a cacophony of grand conspiracies. And in its most ancient forms, it is the undefiled, raw and primordial Truth of things--just as we would expect the Druids, wizards and sages of old to understand them. And with understanding comes wisdom.

From debut fantasy author Josh VanBrakle comes an epic new trilogy of friendship, betrayal, and explosive magic inspired by Japanese mythology. Lodia's history declares lefthanded people dangerous and devil-spawned. For teenager Iren Saitosan, the kingdom's only known Left, that's meant a life of social isolation. To pass the time and get a little attention, he plays pranks on the residents of Haldessa Castle. They're harmless fun, until one of his stunts almost kills Lodia's charismatic heir to the throne. Now to avoid execution for his crime, Iren must join a covert team and assassinate a bandit lord. It's a suicide mission, and Iren's chances aren't helped when he learns that his new katana contains a dragon's spirit, one with a magic so powerful it can sink continents and transform Iren into a raging beast. Adding to his problems, someone on Iren's team is plotting treason. When a former ally launches a brutal plan to avenge the Lefts, a vengeance one thousand years in the making, Iren finds himself trapped between competing loyalties. He needs to figure out who - and how - to trust, and the fates of two nations depend on his choice. "A fast-paced adventure...led by a compelling cast of characters. Josh VanBrakle keeps the mysteries going." - ForeWord Reviews

Debut author Joshua McCune's gritty and heart-pounding novel is a masterful reimagining of popular dragon fantasy set in a militant future reminiscent of Paolo Bacigalupi's Ship Breaker and Ann Aguirre's Outpost. The Horn Book called it "absolutely gripping and absolutely horrifying." It's a high-school prank gone horribly wrong—sneaking onto the rez to pose next to a sleeping dragon—and now senior Melissa Callahan has become an unsuspecting pawn in a war between Man and Monster, between family and friends and the dragons she has despised her whole life. Chilling, epic, and wholly original, this debut novel imagines a North America where dragons are kept on reservations, where strict blackout rules are obeyed no matter the cost, where the highly weaponized military operates in secret, and where a gruesome television show called Kissing Dragons unites the population. Joshua McCune's debut novel offers action, adventure, fantasy, and a reimagining of popular dragon lore. "The story packs significant punch."—Publishers Weekly

The Fourth Book of Slack Wyrm! This is a collection from Slack Wyrm #281 to #352, the strange, bizarre yet oddly entertaining webcomic by Joshua Wright. First seen at joshuawright.net and dubious social media sites, Slack Wyrm is the continuing, confused story of an indifferent dragon in an unfeeling world. Ferragus Slackwyrm is a slothful, sluggish, self-absorbed creature who lives in an exotic fantasy realm with only a shaky grasp on reality. Along with Ferragus himself, in Book 4 you'll see the epic conclusion of Zizok's quest to recover the Giant Magical Black Forest Cake, you'll read about the adventures of Sookmoor the Sorcerer and his infiltration of Slackwyrm Keep, and be terrified at the sight of Rascal, the mischievous, murderous monkey. Plus there's the tragedy of Lord Edgelord, the knight too edgy for his own good. If you already have Slack Wyrm Books 1, 2, and 3 you NEED Book 4 to complete your collection! If you don't have them, get Book 4 anyway. It's the best one yet!

Professional magician Joshua Jay's (author of Magic: The Complete Course) brief and fascinating essays offer an inside look at how the very best magicians think about magic, how they practice and put together a show, what inspires them, and the psychology behind creating wonder and being tricked when we expect both, as well as why we seek magic in the first place.

A thoughtful analysis of how our world's borders came to be and why we may be emerging from a lengthy period of "cartographical stasis" What is a country? While certain basic criteria--borders, a government, and recognition from other countries--seem obvious, journalist Joshua Keating's book explores exceptions to these rules, including self-proclaimed countries such as Abkhazia, Kurdistan, and Somaliland, a Mohawk reservation straddling the U.S.-Canada border, and an island nation whose very existence is threatened by climate change. Through stories about these would-be countries' efforts at self-determination, as well as their respective challenges, Keating shows that there is no universal legal authority determining what a country is. He argues that although our current world map appears fairly static, economic, cultural, and environmental forces in the places he describes may spark change. Keating ably ties history to incisive and sympathetic observations drawn from his travels and personal interviews with residents, political leaders, and scholars in each of these "invisible countries."
