Not since Antonia Fraser's major biography (1975) has there been a life of Cromwell so sympathetic to its subject and based on so many years of scholarship and research. As General Editor for Oxford University Press of the five-volume edition of all the recorded words (writings and recorded speech acts) of Oliver Cromwell, Professor Morrill is perfectly equipped to write this biography. He argues that Cromwell has been seriously misinterpreted by historians, not least by left-wing thinkers such as Tony Benn, who claim Cromwell as their own and thus misunderstand the nature of Cromwell's political thought. This was a product of his religious ideas, and, argues the author, in this Cromwell was entirely sincere. After the Siege of Drogheda he murdered 3,000 people and Catholic clergy and the religious were killed on sight. He cast a long shadow over Irish history which appears to many to verge on genocide, but with this and the signing of the act of execution of Charles I, Cromwell never doubted that he was doing God's will. Morrill's book sheds exciting new light on Cromwell, both political and religious, and is based on the latest scholarship of the highest quality. Morrill argues against contemporary critics and claims that Cromwell was a man of fundamental sincerity and devotion to high Puritan principles.

Oliver Cromwell is one of the most significant figures in British history - and one of the most misinterpreted. 

In this major new biography, John Morrill argues that Cromwell has been seriously misinterpreted by historians, not least by left-wing thinkers such as Tony Benn, who claim Cromwell as their own and thus misunderstand the nature of Cromwell's political thought, which was in fact a product of his religious ideas. And in this, asserts Morrill, Cromwell was entirely sincere.

With new research and insight, this exploration of his life reveals a man who never doubted that he was doing God's will - which included murdering over 3,000 people, among them Catholic clergy, after the Siege of Drogheda, ordering the religious killed on sight, and signing Charles I's execution order. Morrill also looks at the long shadow Cromwell cast over Irish history, with policies that have been accused of verging on genocide. 

He sheds exciting new light on Cromwell, both political and religious, with analysis that is based on the latest scholarship of the highest quality, arguing against contemporary critics and claiming that Cromwell was a man of fundamental sincerity and devotion to high Puritan principles.

The brave, bad man of British history

Oliver Cromwell

The Hill in the Dark Grove

When Monsters Wake

A thrilling, spine-chilling YA graphic novel from debut author Victoria Setian and Bloom artist Savanna Ganucheau-a modern spin on the classic horror novel Dracula Mina Murray is followed by death-at least, that's the rumor in her small town of New Whitby. An aspiring photojournalist, she has a knack for finding herself in unsettling situations to find interesting shots, like on the deck of the recently crashed boat the Demeter. While exploring the wreckage, Mina comes across large cases of dirt and debris-and the decaying body of the ship's captain. Intrigued by the ghastly scene, Mina tries to unearth more information about the abandoned ship, the captain, and the missing crew. Instead, she finds herself roped into her high school's newspaper club covering the big school dance her BFF, Lucy, is coordinating. It's a major bummer, but all might not be too bad if it gets her closer to Jon, her crush and guitarist for the local punk band the Romeros. But instead of catching Jon's eye, Mina enters the orbit of Raf, the brooding (and frankly, hot) transfer student who has everyone under his thrall. As Raf's popularity grows and the dance draws near, sinister events begin to shake the core of the school: The head of the newspaper club gains an unseemly appetite for flies. Jon is getting close to Raf. And Lucy falls ill . . . with strange puncture wounds on her neck. Mina starts to suspect that new student is hiding a dark and terrible secret . . . but will she be able to figure it out before it's too late?

The most chilling and compelling ghost story of the year

Thin Air

'Tense, chilling' MARIANA ENRIQUEZ, author of Our Share of Night'Lays bare intergenerational horror, feminine rage and the taking back of power' STYLIST'Incredible' FINANCIAL TIMESThe house breathes. The house contains bodies and secrets. The house is visited by ghosts, by angels that line the roof like insects, and by saints that burn the bedsheets with their haloes. It was built by a small-time hustler as a means of controlling his wife, and even after so many years, their daughter and her granddaughter can't leave. They may be witches or they may just be angry, but when the mysterious disappearance of a young boy draws unwanted attention, the two isolated women, already subjects of public scorn, combine forces with the spirits that haunt them in pursuit of something that resembles justice. Layla Martínez's eerie debut novel Woodworm is class-conscious horror that drags generations of monsters into the sun. Translated by Sophie Hughes and Annie McDermott**Readers love Woodworm**'It draws you in and slams the door behind you''A monstrous debut''I want to read this book again and again''Biting and inventive''Shirley Jackson by way of Lina Wolff''Deeply, and wonderfully, unsettling''Evokes horrific imagery with a poetic, gnashing tongue''Extraordinary!'
