Description: Charlie Asher is a pretty normal guy. A little hapless, somewhat neurotic, sort of a hypochondriac. He`s what`s known as a Beta Male: the kind of fellow who makes his way through life by being careful and constant -- you know, the one who`s always there to pick up the pieces when the girl gets dumped by the bigger/taller/stronger Alpha Male. But Charlie`s been lucky. He owns a building in the heart of San Francisco, and runs a secondhand store with the help of a couple of loyal, if marginally insane, employees. He`s married to a bright and pretty woman who actually loves him for his normalcy. And she, Rachel, is about to have their first child. Yes, Charlie`s doing okay for a Beta. That is, until the day his daughter, Sophie, is born. Just as Charlie -- exhausted from the birth -- turns to go home, he sees a strange man in mint-green golf wear at Rachel`s hospital bedside, a man who claims that no one should be able to see him.

As Charlie prepares to go home after the birth, he sees a strange man in mint-green golf wear at his wife`s hospital bedside - a man who claims that no one should be able to see him. But see him Charlie does, and from here on out, things get really weird… People start dropping dead around him, giant ravens perch on his building and it seems that everywhere he goes, a dark presence whispers to him from under the streets. Strange names start appearing on his nightstand notepad and before he knows it, those people end up dead, too.

Barbara W. Tuchman
A Distant Mirror: The Calamitous 14th Century

1987 y.
Publisher: Ballantine Books
Description: In this sweeping historical narrative, Barbara Tuchman writes of the cataclysmic 14th century, when the energies of medieval Europe were devoted to fighting internecine wars and warding off the plague. Some medieval thinkers viewed these disasters as divine punishment for mortal wrongs, others, more practically, viewed them as opportunities to accumulate wealth and power. One of the latter, whose life informs much of Tuchman`s book, was the French nobleman Enguerrand de Coucy, who enjoyed the opulence and elegance of the courtly tradition while ruthlessly exploiting the peasants under his thrall. Tuchman looks into such events as the Hundred Years War, the collapse of the medieval church, and the rise of various heresies, pogroms, and other events that caused medieval Europeans to wonder what they had done to deserve such horrors.
