By turns absurd, hilarious, and terrifying, this outrageous collection features the best writings of the high priest of Texan weirdness. Horny steam-shovels, odd-ball detectives, malicious rocks, spectral prehistoric fish, and vampire hunters permeate these vividly detailed stories. Featuring cult-classic award-winning tales such as “The Night They Missed the Horror Show,” “Mad Dog Summer,” and “Dog,” along with non-fiction forays into drive-in theatres and low budget films, this dynamic retrospective represents the broad spectrum of Lansdale’s career. “Bubba Hotep” — the tale of Elvis, John F. Kennedy, and a soul-sucking mummy, which was made into an award-winning film — is included along with the acclaimed novella, “On the Far Side of the Cadillac Desert with Dead Folks,” and never before collected works. Original, compelling, and downright odd, this unforgettable compilation is essential reading for fans of horror, mystery, and southern gothic.

You never can tell when the sun’s going to decide to pop its face out from behind the clouds so make sure you’re always prepared with the Tailgater. It’s the portable speaker and amp with a dock designed for your iPod and despite its size (it’s 40% smaller than the iPod Party Speaker) it packs a mighty 22W punch. The in-built battery is good for eight hours once fully charged so you can forget about lugging that 2km extension cable all the way to the park (frankly we’re staggered you managed to find one that long in the first place) and enjoy some pumping tunage well into the evening. The Tailgater isn’t just for iPods – anything with a headphone socket can be hooked up to the speaker so if you’re not an iPod fan you won’t feel left out. What’s even more impressive is that you can use the unit as an amp for your guitar keyboard or microphone – so if you fancy a bit of a busk (and who doesn’t from time to time?) you can serenade your friends with your take on Led Zep. You may want to consider investing in some guitar lessons beforehand though or you might have to fish the Tailgater out of the nearest pond. The casing is remarkably heavy duty so the speaker can take some mild abuse without falling to pieces and there’s even a convenient carry handle making it even easier for you to lug it around from party to party. It’s the ultimate summer sound system for the party animal.

Fly Fishing Experience Enjoy personal tuition from a professional instructor on one of the UK’s beautiful trout lakes and rivers.

After a warm welcome on arrival you’ll first learn a little about the theory behind the art of fly fishing and have the opportunity to get to grips with casting before you go down to the water. With a fly attached to your line you try your luck, with the instructor always on hand to advise on fishing techniques.
