The wild coast / by Anderson, Lin,author.;
"When forensic scientist Rhona MacLeod is brought in to analyse a shallow grave on Scotland's west coast, she is disturbed by a bundle of twigs crafted into a stickman and left in the victim's mouth. Then, when a young woman is reported missing from a nearby campsite with another sinister figurine left in her van, it seems that someone is targeting wild campers.

Nightmare fuel : the science of horror films / by Nesseth, Nina,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and filmography."A pop-science look at fear, how and why horror films get under our skin, and why we keep coming back for more ... Nesseth explores the strange and often unexpected science of fear through the lenses of psychology and physiology. How do horror films get under our skin? What about them keeps us up at night, even days later? And why do we keep coming back for more? Horror films promise an experience: fear. From monsters that hide in plain sight to tension-building scores, every aspect of a horror film is crafted to make your skin crawl. But how exactly do filmmakers pull this off? The truth is, there's more to it than just loud noises and creepy images. With the affection of a true horror fan and the critical analysis of a scientist, Nesseth explains how audiences engage horror with both their brains and bodies, and teases apart the elements that make horror films tick"--

The dolphin who saved me : how an extraordinary friendship helped me overcome trauma and find hope / by Horrill, Melody,author.;
"When Melody Horrill arrived at university she was a troubled and lost young woman, hiding behind a carefully crafted exterior. She had experienced a childhood of emotional and physical trauma mainly at the hands of her violent father that was as damaging as it was brutal. One day Melody volunteered to help her lecturer monitor pods of river nearby dolphins. There for the first time she encountered Jock, a solitary dolphin with a maimed fin, who lived apart from the highly social pods. Melody was to form a bond with Jock that gave her the key to freeing herself from the demons of her own past, and their extraordinary friendship was the start of a long-term mission to try to save the river dolphins. Beautifully written and filled with insight and compassion, Melody's memoir details her life-changing friendship with the river dolphins, and how Jock helped her to heal."--

This Eden / by O'Loughlin, Ed,author.;
"Alice and Michael meet at university: she is a young computer prodigy, he is a hapless engineer. First love is followed by a rift, and then Alice disappears -- suicide is suspected. Soon after, Michael is recruited by Campbell Fess, founder of the San Francisco tech firm Alice had been doing work for. But upon arrival he finds himself at the centre of a con managed by a spy named Aoife, who leads him to her handler, the shape-shifting government war-gamer Towse. Michael and Aoife are plunged into an urgent struggle that neither of them understands -- one that will take them by air and sea from California to New Jersey, the Ugandan rainforest, Jordan, Jerusalem, Paris, and finally Dublin, where Fess's crowning achievement will be unveiled. With This Eden, Ed O'Loughlin has crafted the spy novel into a sharp and engrossing narrative of a world overrun by cyber-warfare, moral bankruptcy, and the assassination of identity."--Provided by publisher.
