Myths of Magical Native American Women Including Salt Woman Stories
Myths allow us to experience and find a meaning for life through different cultures. Myths resonate within us, bringing an experience of existing within a dissimilar reality. The Native American storytellers who shared their myths with the author were taught by their Elders who lived in a place and culture altered from that of today. These myths were told and recorded by the author with the understanding they would not be lost. Some of these myths were found to be almost lost, some to be very old, almost forgotten. The Salt Woman stories are difficult to find. They are very old and come from several cultures and diverse tellers. Other myths are from New Mexican Pueblos, Southeastern Creek, Lakota, Cheyenne, Hopi and Guiana cultures.

Boy with Goldfish
Back in the early 1970s author/composer Tanner joined an artist and Hawaiian singing duo to create "Boy with Goldfish," a unique collaboration of visual art and symphonic music taken from Hawaiian and other world mythologies. The premiere was part of the Honolulu Symphony's 1976 National Bicentennial observance. Three years later the music was recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra. Among the first digital recordings, its wide dynamic range and epic bass drum bashes attracted audiophiles, establishing it as a sonic benchmark. Jump forward forty years to now and author Tanner, working in the wee hours of the night, suddenly brings forth this novel. Boy with Goldfish is a classic Hero's Journey set on an island much like Hawai'i Island, on a fantasy ocean planet, but without a history of colonization or overthrow of its monarchy. Boy, our hero, finds himself enthralled with golden fish discovered in a magical grotto deep in the upland forest. He is unaware of spirit-forces luring him into a dangerous quest that could lead to glory, or death. Along the way he is met with a host of fantastic creatures from Hawaiian mythology. And what is our hero's fate? Well, one must take the journey with him to find out.

Shadows In Green
Don't walk after dark because that thing you can't quite see is really there. You'll never look at Kudzu the same way again. "Dansky gives us a haunting story of rural horror minus all the cliches. No hillbillies, no cannibals...but rest assured these woods are no place to be after dark." - Everette Bell, author of The Mourning Edge Of Iron "Richard E. Dansky has written a creepy, atmospheric story in the best tradition of Steven King, Clive Barker, or Poppy E. Brite; yet with a unique voice distinctly his own. The characters are just bizarre enough to have stepped out of a Dilbert cartoon and yet have enough depth to make them believable. After reading this story, you may never be able to take a moonlight stroll in the woods again." - Linda Dunn

Yoo-ni-korn
Counterfeit Books Limited proudly presents: Yoo-ni-korn the debut novella by Andy Blood. Unicorn is pronounced yoo-ni-korn and its collective noun is a blessing of unicorns. Which raises the question: Is it a blessing to be born a unicorn? It's a little-known fact that one in a billion people is born a unicorn. It happens entirely at random, and a unicorn is just as likely to be born into a family that lives in a slum, a tenement or a project as they are to be born into a privileged middle-class family. We can't be certain - because the family will often go to great lengths to hide their precious baby unicorn - but right now, there are probably about half a dozen real live unicorns on the planet. Yoo-ni-korn tells their tales. Which are anything but fairy tales. However, at its heart, Yoo-ni-korn is a meditation on otherness and examines what it's like to be born different. With a very visible 'impediment'. Stigmatised by some and fetishised by others. Objectified, patronised, worshipped, exploited, cherished, or despised. Ostracised and celebrated in equal measure. Stared at and shunned. The subject of suspicion. The object of much finger pointing. Part of one tribe, and very clearly part of another. Yoo-ni-korn was conceived to celebrate others. Other people, and other cultures not normally celebrated by the mainstream. It will suit people with a thirst for something different and a fascination for stories that play out off the beaten track. It begins in Greenland then unfolds across Siberia, Mongolia, and the near and far east where the old silk road meets the new silk road via the online dark web and the onionlands of TOR (the onion router) populated by anonymous traders who will buy and sell any body part imaginable. Yoo-ni-korn weaves its magic by weaving all of this together.

The Prose Edda
The Prose Edda, first systemized and captured as a coherent document by the Icelandic scholar Snorri Sturluson in the year 1220, contain the collection of traditional stories and legends handed down since the age of the Vikings, and has become the main source for all subsequent iterations of Norse mythology.Based on the earlier, and untitled "Poetic Edda," the Prose Edda covers the entire spectrum of Norse mythology from the creation to the prophesized destruction of the world.The work consists of three major parts: The Prologue, which is an euhemerized Christian account of the origins of Nordic mythology: the Nordic gods are described as human Trojan warriors who left Troy after the fall of that city and who settled in northern Europe, where they were accepted as divine kings because of their superior culture and technology.The second part, The Fooling of Gylfe, tells of the creation and destruction of the Nordic gods' world, and deals with many other aspects of Norse mythology.The third part, The Sk獺ldskaparm獺l, consists of a dialogue between ?gir, a god associated with the sea, and Bragi, a skaldic god, in which both Nordic mythology and discourse on the nature of poetry are intertwined.This edition also contains an important introduction, a full set of explanatory notes, a vocabulary list, and an index.
