Cult Film 
Haunts of the Black Masseur is a dazzling introduction to the great swimming heroes: Byron leaping into the surf at Shelley’s beach funeral, Hart Crane, swallow-diving to his death in the Bay of Mexico, Ulysses, Leander, Weismuller and many more. In lively prose bursting with anecdote, Charles Sprawson leads us into a watery world populated by lithe demi-Gods – one that has obsessed humans from the ancient Greeks and Romans, to Yeats, Virginia Woolf, F. Scott Fitzgerald and David Hockney. Original, enticing and dripping with references to literature, film, art and Olympic history, this cult swimming classic pays sparkling tribute to water and the cultural meanings we attach to it.
Price : £ 6.99

Gothic 
Each of these four Gothic stories reveals a psychological tale of isolation and monomania. H. Walpole’s ‘The Castle of Otranto’ is filled with terror and ghostly interventions. William Beckford’s ‘Vathek’ alternates grotesque comedy with scenes of exotic magnificence. ‘The Monk’, by Matthew Lewis and M. Shelley’s ‘Frankenstein’ are also included.
