Triskaidekaphobia: fear of the number 13 If thirteen people sit down at a table, will one die within a year? Why did five U.S. presidents join the Thirteen Club? What is the only major New York hotel that has a thirteenth floor? In 13, a fascinating cultural history-cum-detective story, Nathaniel Lachenmeyer gets to the root of how one superstition—the fear of the number 13—developed among wildly divergent societies. A book about mythmaking, 13 explores why people believe what they believe, and the real reason Friday the 13th is the most unlucky day in the world.
The Archangel Gabriel has quite enough on his plate with a murderous vampire on the loose, the enigmatic Lord Hallam’s return to parliament after a ten-year absence, and the near riots at London’s notorious Thirteen Club. But when Gabriel and his faithful sidekick, Jelly, investigate the murder of a woman found in a cemetery with a sooty stain spreading beneath her body, and a curious note impaled on a stake beside her, they find the most troubling omen of all. The woman has the mark of Selene—a long-dead vampire-hunting guild—tattooed on her wrist, marking her as both a witch and a werewolf. Selene’s grimoires were destroyed decades ago, along with the guild itself, so how did they come back from extinction, and why? When thirteen witches infiltrate a fantastical show at the Thirteen Club, their new purpose becomes clear. Selene is out for revenge. And tonight, there are thirteen werewolves straining at the leash of a full moon, their fury aimed at just one man. *** Told with Inka York’s usual humour and British charm, this book features Uriel and Bel being their best dramatic selves, Gabriel expressing his disdain at not being an only child through the medium of huffing, a bonded wraith that will give you the heebie-jeebies, absolutely zero horse appendages, and an overflowing decanter of gay angst. This is a standalone set in the Cascade Apocrypha storyworld, which becomes immeasurably richer the more you read, with returning immortals, top-notch banter, and twisted villains across three series so far.
Lucky 13?! by Franz Kratschmer This book begins with a short journey through the meaning of the number "13" in human societies, religions, and cultures. Then this is followed by some historic dates on which certain things happened on the thirteenth day. As the number "13" has played an important role in Franz Kratschmer's life, he decided to start his personal history with his grandfather, who sailed the world in the late nineteenth century. Some of the countries his grandfather visited would later be part of Franz's journeys. This included Brazil, Africa, Indonesia, and Australia. The reader will be taken on a voyage that started off during the Austro-Hungarian Empire, passing both World Wars, the liberation of the Austrian capital of Vienna on April 13, 1945, and the author's birth four years later. His career in the Austrian military was followed by becoming a civilian peacekeeper of the United Nations in the Middle East and East Timor (Timor-Leste) for more than twenty-three years. About the Author The author is married and has two sons. His wife, Vera Lucia Ataide, and youngest son, Karl, were born in Brazil. Franz and his firstborn son, Francisco, are Viennese (Austrians). The latter is also an Australian citizen. Mr. Kratschmer's main areas of interest are the Chinese economic expansion and the European Union. As a former peacekeeper of the United Nations, he believes that the traditional peacekeeping operations need to be reviewed and redesigned, with a view to enforcing humanitarian missions under the protection of UN forces.
