This large-scale fold-out map explores the folk horror phenomenon from its beginnings in a trilogy of films - Michael Reeves' Witchfinder General (1968), Piers Haggard's Blood On Satan's Claw (1971) and Robin Hardy's The Wicker Man (1973) - through to the genre's revival over the last decade. An exploration into horror cinema's folkways leads one into many strange corners all over the world. This map depicts a concentrated cluster of 36 locations where the films are set or staged - and where their core ideas sometimes spring from, from Scotland to Serbia. More often than not these places are separate from complex urban societies, and tucked away in the rural, in insular hamlets and villages. Places where the pull of the old ways can still be felt. This map accompanies the documentary feature Woodlands Dark And Days Bewitched (2021) from Severin Films.

For more than 50 years, heavy metal has endured. During that time it's topped the charts and languished in cutout bins, mutated into myriad outlandish strains, created cultural icons and moral panics. It's taken root on every continent and steadfastly refused to leave, adapting to the times and its surroundings. Death Metal, Black Metal, Hair Metal, Thrash or NWOBHM - it's all identifiably metal. In this fold-out guide we chart heavy metal's evolution by genre and geography, from its progenitors in the British steel towns to church-burning Norwegians and Australian Christian metallers. Iran, Nepal, China and Japan are all represented, along with the US and UK's many monsters of rock. This is the Metal Mappa Mundi; it's a metal world, we just live in it.

Lisbon is a hot destination. Tourists love it and so do escapees from other cities, enticed by the light, the sea, the quality of life. Such popularity means change, but it's to Lisbon's credit that older businesses exist in harmony with modish new arrivals. In Lisbon traditional businesses are not preserved as monuments but as essential parts of everyday life. How To Find Old Lisbon is a large-format map charting 40 examples of this Old Lisbon. There are grand cafes and humble tascas, places to buy flowers and seeds, hats and gloves, to have shoes mended -- or even dolls. These places are not mere curiosities, they have survived because of their excellence. They are addresses familiar to generations of Lisboans, we suggest you get to know them too. In addition to the map, How To Find Old Lisbon comes in its own die-cut folder which also contains two postcards.

It also locates those heartening spots where man has lost the battle with nature and wild plants have taken root amid concrete and brick. From the ancient forests of north London to the east's abandoned sewage works, south London's commons and the west's roaming deer, Wild London is your handy guide to finding green among the grey.
