HELLHOUNDS, THE ANTHOLOGY: meet a variety of pickpockets, ghost hunters, and robots hellbent on murder. They hail from Outer Space, Heaven, Hell, Earth, and the inside of a taxidermied dog. There are guest appearances by the Hackney Hellhounds of London, Ralphie Boy of Iwo Jima, and Sherlock Hound of the Yorkshire Dales. Rebels spin their shaggy dog tales, the Greek gods wreak havoc, and a little dog waits the other side of the veil, loyal to the end. We have fantasy, horror, sci-fi, romance, and much more. But--as with HELLCATS, THE ANTHOLOGY--what all these stories have in common is heart. The good guy wins, the bad guy is punished, the best dog gets a bone. Heart. Because HELLHOUNDS, THE ANTHOLOGY is such a brilliant mash-up of styles we've added blurbs before each story so you can choose what you'd like to read. Not every story is for everyone, but I warrant you'll find more than one tale that tickles your funny bone, or scratches an itch you didn't know you had, in here. Revenge, reckoning, and redemption: HELLHOUNDS, THE ANTHOLOGY has it all.

This book provokes the open-minded reader to see the world through new eyes. It is perfect for those interested in studying mankind outside of what is shared with us in textbooks. Allen Scott Huff reveals how hypocritical we are in our views about religion, science, and race. He boldly describes how black is similar to white, how man is similar to animals, and how Christians are similar to Buddhists. Huff has delivered his viewpoint in a way that is both refreshing and witty. “I know I'm a little strange.... I want to be understandable, but I'm not interested in being like everybody else,” states this bold author. In this book, he speaks to people interested in hearing the “other side” of the story.

Are We Exactly the Same, But Different?

In 1999 the Blair government introduced British devolution as part of a major programme of constitutional reform. This development posed major questions concerning how relations with the European Union would be affected. Previously, policymaking in the UK had been centralized on Whitehall and Westminster. However, devolution to Scotland and Wales introduced new actors; the Scottish Executive and Parliament, and the National Assembly for Wales. This study explores the institutional changes designed to accommodate these devolved authorities, whilst maintaining a central role for the UK government.
