Following Germania and Danubia, the third installment in Simon Winder's personal history of Europe. In 843 AD, the three surviving grandsons of the great emperor Charlemagne met at Verdun. After years of bitter squabbles over who would inherit the family land, they finally decided to divide the territory and go their separate ways. In a moment of staggering significance, one grandson inherited the area we now know as France, another Germany and the third received the piece in between: Lotharingia. Lotharingia is a history of in-between Europe. It is the story of a place between places. In this beguiling, hilarious and compelling book, Simon Winder retraces the various powers that have tried to overtake the land that stretches from the mouth of the Rhine to the Alps and the might of the peoples who have lived there for centuries.

For Dracula lovers and fans of Diana Urban’s All Your Twisted Secrets, this spine-tingling thriller follows seven horror buffs as their dream trip to a remote Romanian castle turns into a nightmare when they begin to be killed one by one. Alex Rush is ready for the trip of a lifetime. She and her friends have made some creepily awesome films together throughout high school, so with only a few months left before they go their separate ways for college, they’re determined to make the best one yet: an epic short film that reimagines the story of Dracula, filmed on location at a remote castle in Romania. But when they get there, it’s not quite the majestic setting they planned for. Menacing weapons line the walls, the twisted halls are easy to get lost in, and with no connection to the outside world, the group is unexpectedly off the grid. After just a few hours spent under its roof, Alex and her friends have no trouble imagining how this dark, terrifying castle inspired one of the most enduring horror novels of all time. Only soon they no longer have to use their imaginations to understand the location’s terrifying history—just as they get the film's first shot rolling, one of Alex’s friends disappears, and she’s nearly certain she saw a cloaked stranger lurking in the shadows. As more members of the group begin to meet an untimely demise, Alex is desperate to stop the bloodshed, even if it means facing a monster she never thought would be let loose.

That's what the nurse told me when I arrived at St. Constantin's. But still. Every time the wheels of the hospital cart squeak on the freshly mopped tile floor. Each time the orderlies whisper to each other in the hallways. When someone drops a lunch tray or coughs or clears their throat. I flinch and the heart monitor beside my bed beeps frantically. I can't sleep. Can't close my eyes for a second. Every time I do, I see Jax's face. It's the details that give me nightmares. The castle turrets that were the same scarlet color as the dried specks of blood I can't pry out from underneath my fingernails. The thin branches of the gray alder trees that twisted around my limbs like endless tentacles. The rustling leaves that concealed a conspiracy of whispers. I can't stand to be in the dark. For the dead travel fast. When they found out where I'd been picked up, a look of understanding crossed their faces. They'd heard stories about Castle Prahova. The doctor who spent all morning digging shards of glass out of my scalp told me the private estate about fifty kilometers north of Braov was a place that inspired legends. It had been the home of medieval warmonger Vlad Dracul, the real-life inspiration of the fictional character Dracula. The locals believed that the monsters of Prahova were more terrifying than what made it onto the pages of Bram Stoker's novel. Of course, I already knew that. It was Dracula and his legends that drew us to Romania in the first place. But we didn't know that the castle had a more recent history of unsolved crimes and unexplained accidents. People went missing. Bodies washed up on the bank of the river that cut across the countryside and ran along the base of the sharp cliffs that bracketed the castle. For years, the place was owned by a drug dealer who used it for storage and operations. The Romanian police spent the better part of two decades relentlessly chasing a cartel across the always foggy, dense forest. But even the farmers who knew the castle by reputation were shocked when our flaming utility cart crashed into the wooden fence outside of Rupea and I dragged Reagan's bloody body out into the wet, muddy road. Six dead American tourists. The Poliia Rom‰n sent a team to recover the remains. I don't know what there will be left to find. Anything left of my friends. My hand always feels empty. As if it will always be trying to reach out and pull Hazel from a pool of dark black water. I force my eyes open and stare at the greenish hospital lights. You're safe here. Dr. Fieraru says that my mother caught the red-eye from Phoenix. The police will send a car to the airport and she'll come to take me home. When I'm able to check my phone, I see all the alerts about Justin Bloom. In LA, the police are hunting for the famous film director. Wanted for questioning. A while later, as I am reading the same page of the hospital magazine for the hundredth time, a short woman wearing a floral-print dress and with her long, dark hair in a neat braid knocks lightly on the open door of my room. "Alexandra Rush?" she says in a calm, pleasant voice. The chirps of my heart monitor increase in pace. I nod. She enters with soft footsteps and says, "Please do not be alarmed. I am Police Inspector Ana Skutnik. I understand you already spoke to the police yesterday after you arrived at the hospital. Do you feel up to answering some additional questions?" Truthfully, I do not feel up to it. I'm not sure I will ever feel up to it. But everyone will want to know the story of what happened, and I am the only one who can tell them. Our families deserve answers. From me. Again, I nod. Inspector Skutnik offers a comforting smile and takes the beige leather guest chair to my right. She leans forward, placing a small device in front of me on the overbed table. "If it is all right with you, I will be recording this interview. May I call you Alexandra?" she asks. "Alex," I croak out. "My name is Alex." I pick at the cast covering my broken arm and try to avoid scratching at the jagged, crisscrossed black stitches that bind the cuts all over my legs. She nods. "I have a copy of your statement here. But I am hoping to get a fuller, more detailed picture of what happened. Particularly to gather information that might help the team at Prahova as they search for . . ." Her smile falters. As they search for bodies. Don't close your eyes. I shiver. "Okay," I whisper. My heartbeat slows. I'm so cold. So almost dead inside. She smiles again. It's a motherly expression. "Let us start at the beginning." I notice that the policewoman has a soft leather case she rests on her lap as she pulls out a handful of papers. For a minute her eyes glide over the printed pages. "What do you want to know?" I ask. Her eyes linger on the marks around my neck. "Only the truth." "The truth is messy," I say with a sigh. Inspector Skutnik reaches for the water pitcher on my table and refills my Styrofoam cup. "Okay, Alex. Tell me. What brought you to Romania?" 153 days ago EXT. PARADISE VALLEY-NIGHT-ALMOST HALLOWEEN Mummy Mountain was silent and still and dark. I was late. Nothing new about that. Since Dad got sick, I was late all the time. For everything. The enormous silver punch bowl on the seat next to me vibrated and bounced up and down as I took the turn from Lincoln Avenue onto the single-lane Hummingbird Road. I had to drive slow in the old Ford Taurus to take the tight turns. Once I passed the country club, I had only the sliver of a moon to light my way. The tip of a white crescent rose slowly above the rock formation that was said to look like the head of an Egyptian mummy. It always struck me as odd that these narrow, poorly lit mountain roads were the access point to the houses of the richest people in Arizona. But Kenna McKee told me, "We can't make it easy. We don't want just anyone to get up here." During the day, delivery drivers and landscapers and construction crews created a flurry of activity. But after dark, the one-percenters stayed out of sight, hidden behind their private gates and dense landscaping. Me and Kenna and the rest of our friends were supposed to be setting up for the McKees' epic Halloween party. But helping my dad had taken longer than I thought, so it was almost ten when I crept along, alone on a Friday night, my phone no longer buzzing with messages from Jax and Reagan checking up on me. I should have been focused on my application to film school. USC's Cinematic Arts program admitted around 2 percent of its applicants. I had script pages to polish, a personal statement to write, a short film to make, and reference letters to beg for. Plus, since my family was out of money, not only did I need to be better than 98 percent of the thousands of applicants who wanted to walk in the footsteps of George Lucas, Shonda Rhimes, and Jon Chu, but I also had to find some combination of grants, scholarships, and loans to get me to California. But tomorrow was Halloween. Of senior year. It was the last time that all my friends would celebrate our favorite holiday. Together. I didn't know what the future held, but it probably wasn't too many more parties with Paradise Valley Catering's famous ravioli and Mrs. McKee's epic skeleton-themed charcuterie boards. Hopefully someday I'd be a famous director, but that Halloween might be my final chance to sneak a Diplom‡tico rum cocktail and steal sips while gazing at all the twinkling lights of Phoenix's sprawling suburbs. Halloween. The one day of the year when you got to choose who or what you wanted to be. When you weren't at the mercy of the hand life had dealt you. A prince

What is a ‘Witch’? A Witch (a gender neutral term – if you prefer enchanter / enchantress ) is someone who uses his/her will in order to bend reality. Etymologically the word ‘witch’ comes from the germanic word: weik which means to curve, to bend. We are all born with Magical Powers. There are however some […]
With the start of school, boys and girls begin to spend much of their day in the classroom, a place where pressures and relationships with other children can be quite stressful. While some youngsters with Asperger’s (AS) and High-Functioning Autism (HFA) naturally greet new situations with enthusiasm, others tend to retreat to the familiarity of their home. For some children on the autism spectrum, merely the thought of going at school – away from home and apart from parents – causes great anxiety. Such children, especially when faced with situations they fear or with which they believe they can’t cope, may try to keep from returning to school. It's natural for your AS or HFA youngster to feel anxious when you say goodbye to him or her in the morning. Separation anxiety is a normal stage of development. However, if anxieties intensify or are persistent enough to get in the way of school or other activities, your youngster may have Separation Anxiety Disorder (SAD). This disorder may require professional treatment, but there is also a lot that you, as a mother or father, can do to help. Many children with AS and HFA experience separation anxiety that doesn’t go away, even with mom’s best efforts. These kids experience a reoccurrence of intense separation anxiety during their elementary school years or beyond. If you see any of the “red flags” listed below, and your interventions don’t seem to be enough, it may be necessary to “take the bull by the horns” and help your son or daughter by implementing a different set of interventions listed later in this article: Withdrawal from friends, family, or peers Refusing to go to school for weeks Constant complaints of physical sickness Excessive fear of leaving the house Preoccupation with intense fear or guilt Age-inappropriate clinginess or tantrums SAD is not a normal stage of development, but a serious emotional problem characterized by extreme distress when a youngster is away from the parent. However, since normal separation anxiety and SAD share many of the same symptoms, it can be confusing to try to figure out if your youngster just needs time and understanding – or has a more serious problem. The main differences between healthy separation anxiety and SAD are the intensity of your youngster’s fears, and whether these fears keep her from normal activities. Kids with SAD may become agitated when away from the parent, and may complain of sickness to avoid attending school. When symptoms are extreme enough, these anxieties can add up to a disorder. Children with SAD feel constantly worried or fearful about separation. Many are overwhelmed with one or more of the following: Worry that an unpredicted event will lead to permanent separation: Children with SAD may fear that once separated from a mother or father, something will happen to keep the separation (e.g., worry about being kidnapped or getting lost). Nightmares about separation: Kids with SAD often have scary dreams about their fears. Fear that something terrible will happen to a parent or sibling: The most common fear a youngster with SAD experiences is the worry that harm will come to a family member in the youngster's absence (e.g., may constantly worry about his mother becoming sick or getting hurt). SAD can get in the way of normal activities. Kids with this disorder often: Cling to the parent: Kids with SAD may shadow the parent around the house or cling to her arm or leg if the parent attempts to step out. Complain of physical sickness (e.g., headache, stomachache): At the time of separation, or before, kids with SAD often complain they feel ill. Display reluctance to go to sleep: SAD may make these kids insomniacs, either because of the fear of being alone or due to nightmares about separation. Refuse to go to school: A youngster with SAD may have an unreasonable fear of school, and will do almost anything to stay home. SAD occurs because a youngster feels unsafe in some way. Take a look at anything that may have thrown your youngster’s world off balance, or made her feel threatened or could have upset her normal routine. If you can pinpoint the root cause(s), you’ll be one step closer to helping your youngster through her fears. The following are common causes of SAD in kids: Anxiety: Stressful situations (e.g., switching schools, loss of a family member, loss of a pet, divorce, etc.) can trigger SAD. Over-protective parent: In some cases, SAD may be the manifestation of the mother’s or father’s own anxiety—moms and dads and kids can feed one another’s anxieties. Change in environment: Changes in surroundings (e.g., a new house, school, or daycare situation) can trigger SAD. For AS and HFA kids with Separation Anxiety Disorder, there are steps parents can take to make the process of separation easier: 1. Be ready for transition points that can cause anxiety for your youngster (e.g., going to school, meeting with friends to play). If your youngster separates from one parent more easily than the other, have that parent handle the drop off. 2. At times of stress at school, a brief phone call (e.g., a minute or two) with a parent may reduce separation anxiety. 3. Develop a “goodbye” ritual. Rituals are reassuring and can be as simple as a special wave through the window or a goodbye kiss. 4. Educate yourself about SAD. If you learn about how your youngster experiences this disorder, you can more easily sympathize with his or her struggles. 5. If a school-related problem (e.g., a bully, an unreasonable teacher, disgust of school cafeteria lunches) is the cause of your youngster's anxiety, become an advocate for your child and discuss these problems with the school staff. The teacher or principal may need to make some adjustments to relieve the pressure on your youngster in the classroom, cafeteria, or on the playground. 6. Remember that every good effort, or a small step in the right direction, deserves to be praised. Use the smallest of accomplishments (e.g., going to bed without a fuss, a good report from school) as reason to give your youngster positive reinforcement. 7. Help your youngster develop independence by encouraging activities with other kids outside the home (e.g., clubs, sports activities, overnights with friends, etc.). 8. Find a place at school where your youngster can go to reduce anxiety during stressful periods. Develop guidelines for appropriate use of the “safe place.” 9. If the school can be lenient about late arrival at first, it can give you and your youngster a little wiggle room to talk and separate at your youngster’s slower pace. 10. If your child has missed several days of school due to separation anxiety, initiate a plan for him to return to school immediately. This may include gradual reintroduction with partial days at first. The longer he stays home, the more difficult his eventual return will be. Explain that he is in good health and his physical symptoms are probably due to concerns he has expressed to you (e.g., grades, homework, relationships with educators, anxiety over social pressure, legitimate fears of violence at school, etc.). Let him know that school attendance is required by law. He will continue to exert some pressure on you to let him stay home, but remain determined to get him back in school. Recruit school staff (e.g., school nurse) to help with this. 11. Keep calm during separation. If your youngster sees that you can stay cool, he is more likely to be calm, too. 12. If you allow your youngster to stay home, be sure he is safe and comfortable, but he should not receive any special treatment. His symptoms should be treated with consideration and understanding. If his complaints warrant it, he should stay in bed. However, his day should not be a holiday. There should be no special snacks and no visitors, and he should be supervised. 13. Keep familiar surroundings when possible, and make new surroundings familiar (e.g., have the sitter come to your house; when your youngster is away from home, let her bring a familiar object). 14. Leave without fanfare. Tell your youngster you are leaving and that you will return, then go – don’t hang around. 15. Make a commitment to be extra firm on school mornings whenever your child begins to complain about her symptoms. Keep discussions about physical symptoms or anxiety to a minimum. For example, do not ask her how she feels. If she is well enough to be up and moving around the house, then she is well enough to attend school. When in doubt, err on the side of sending your youngster to school. 16. Listen to and respect your youngster’s feelings. For kids who might already feel isolated by their disorder, the experience of being listened to can have a powerful healing effect. 17. Minimize scary television shows and movies. Your youngster is less likely to be fearful if the shows you watch are not frightening. 18. Offer choices as much as possible. If your youngster is given a choice or some element of control in an activity or interaction with a grown-up, she may feel more safe and comfortable. 19. Place a note for your youngster in his lunch box or locker. A quick “I love you!” on a napkin can reassure a SAD youngster. 20. Practice separation. Leave your youngster with a caregiver for brief periods and short distances at first. 21. Provide a consistent routine for the day. Don’t underestimate the importance of predictability for kids with separation anxiety. If your family’s schedule is going to change, discuss it ahead of time with your AS or HFA youngster. 22. While you may try to manage separation anxiety on your own, if your child's fretfulness lasts more than a few weeks, you and your child may need professional assistance to deal with it. First, he should be examined by your doctor. If his anxiety persists, or if he has chronic or intermittent signs of separation difficulties when going to school (in combination with physical symptoms that are interfering with his functioning), your doctor may recommend a consultation with a psychiatrist or psychologist. Even if your youngster denies having negative experiences at school or with other kids, his unexplainable physical symptoms should motivate you to schedule a medical evaluation. 23. Schedule separations after naps or meals. AS and HFA kids are more susceptible to separation anxiety when they’re tired or hungry. 24. Set limits in a compassionate way. Let your youngster know that although you understand his feelings, there are rules in your household that need to be followed. 25. Support your youngster's participation in activities. Encourage him to participate in healthy social and physical activities. 26. Talk about the problem. It’s very healthy for kids to talk about their feelings. They don’t benefit from “not thinking about it.” Be empathetic, but also gently remind your youngster that she survived the last separation. 27. Try not to give in. Reassure your youngster that he will be just fine. Setting some healthy limits will help the adjustment to separation. 28. If your youngster's anxiety is severe, she might benefit from a step-wise return to school. For example: On day one, she could get up in the morning and get dressed, and then you could drive her by the school so she can get some feel for it before you return home with her. On day two, she could go to school for just half a day, or for only a favorite class or two. On day three, she could return for one full day of school within that week. The following week, she could attend school for three of the five days. The week after that, she could attend on all five days. Moms and dads should be concerned if their AS or HFA youngster regularly complains about feeling sick or often asks to stay home from school with minor physical complaints. Not wanting to go to school may occur at any time, but is most common in kids 5-7 and 11-14 (times when they are dealing with the new challenges of elementary and middle school). AS and HFA kids may suffer from a paralyzing fear of leaving the safety of their home. Their panic and refusal to go to school is very difficult for moms and dads to cope with, but these fears and behavior can be successfully managed by using the steps listed above.
