  • THE TONGUE OF SHADOWS

    de ASIF SHAH ...
    Can the dead speak?Almost every civilization that has ever existed answered yes. Almost every civilization developed a class of professionals to handle the conversation. The professionals were called by different names — *goēs* in Greek, *baalat ob* in Hebrew, *itako* in Japanese, *babalawo* in Yoruba — but the job description was the same: the person who stands at the membrane between the living ...

  • THE GENERAL

    The Man the Mongols Feared

    de ASIF SHAH ...
    The Mongol Empire killed forty million people. They erased civilizations so thoroughly that forests reclaimed the dead's farmland and the planet's carbon dioxide dropped. Their conquests are visible in the ice cores of Greenland and Antarctica. No force in history matched their efficiency at ending human life.They feared one man.Not an empire. One general, on one frontier, who fought with a ... Leer más

  • The Incarcerated Gods

    The Devil You Buried

    de ASIF SHAH ...
    Every civilization on earth tells the same story: something powerful existed before us, and we locked it up. The Babylonians split a goddess in half. The Greeks threw titans into a pit. The Hebrews chained an angel under a desert. The Japanese tied ropes around rocks and prayed. These stories span every continent and era with no evidence of cross-contamination — yet they describe the same prison ... Leer más

    de Asif Shah ...

She is ten thousand years old, and she remembers the forge where the stone was made, ... Leer más

    The Dark History and Darker Future of Artificial Intelligence

    de ASIF SHAH ...
    Twelve thousand years ago, someone buried a temple under hundreds of tons of earth. They couldn't write. They hadn't invented agriculture. But they carved ten-ton pillars with precision we can barely match today, arranged them in astronomical alignments, and sealed the whole thing shut. Like a hard drive being stored for later retrieval.We dug it up. We stared at it. We argued about it on the ... Leer más

    de Asif Shah ...
    Series Libro 1 - The Thread That Would Not Break
    Kasim was taught to count his breaths before he was taught to read. One, and one, and one: the discipline that keeps a Hashashin's hand steady, and his fear silent. For seventeen years it has never failed him.It fails him at Hold Vael.The job should have been simple. A lord who sold his own household to something that does not deal in gold. A debt that needs collecting before dawn. But the house ... Leer más

The hunger has not.This is a speculative history of the world's most dangerous idea — that matter hides powers invisible to ordinary sight, and that the right ... Leer más

  • WITCHCRAFT

    History, Mystery, and the Space Between

    de Asif Shah ...
    In the twenty-first century, people are still being murdered for witchcraft.Not in some metaphorical sense. Not in the sanitized, Halloween-costume, crystal-shop sense. Murdered. Burned. Stoned. Drowned. Children, in some cases. Old women, in most. At the same time, millions of educated, internet-connected adults describe themselves as witches — they cast spells, read tarot, gather under full ... Leer más

    A History of the Wisewomen, Hedge Witches, and the Folk Magic the Trials Tried to Bury

    de Asif Shah ...
    CUNNING tells the buried history of the cunning folk — the village healers, midwives, charmers, and folk magicians who served as the world's unlicensed medical and spiritual system for over a thousand years, and traces how witch trials, medical guilds, and the Reformation erased them almost entirely.Opening with the 1576 trial and execution of Bessie Dunlop in Scotland, the book uses her ...

  • What Answers When Called

    A Speculative History of Pacts, Demons, and the Price of Calling Them

    de Asif Shah ...
    A room. A circle drawn in chalk, in salt, in flour, in ash, in blood. A name spoken aloud. A list of things wanted, and a list, in slightly less confident handwriting, of things the speaker is willing to give in return.The room is in fifth-century Athens. It is in Roman Britain. It is in seventeenth-century France. It is in Mississippi in 1930, in Connecticut in 1981, in California last Tuesday on ... Leer más

    A Speculative Journey Through Interdimensional Realities

    de Asif Shah ...

Solid.It is the most ordinary lie you will ever be told — and you tell it to yourself every waking minute.Right now, particles from the sun are passing through your body and out the other side. The same dark matter that holds the galaxies together is drifting through your chair, unfelt. By our best physics, the ... Leer más
