Sub Rosa Supporters I4

A few more props to our advertisers in Sub Rosa Issue 4, who via their support help keep TDG running:

  • New Page Books have a number of books which would interest TDG readers, including The Templar Papers, The Atlantis Encyclopedia and Discovering the Mysteries of Ancient America.
  • One of our good friends, Karen Ralls, has a book titled The Templars and the Grail, and also hosts a travel experience to Malta (“Chivalry, Knights and the Grail: A Quest for Malta“).
  • Art of Illumination has “esoteric art to illuminate your heart”.
  • New Dawn (who we already post updates about each issue) is a magazine which questions consensus reality, investigating topics from ancient mysteries to secret societies and conspiracies.
  • The Ahriman Gate by Thomas and Nita Horn is a paranormal thriller novel which has been getting a lot of very good reviews.
  • Another great resource which I’ve mentioned on TDG before is the Broadband Learning Channel (which has just been renamed ‘The Conscious Media Network’), which provides free video interviews of researchers such as Graham Hancock, Walter Cruttenden and Stuart Hameroff.
  • CircleSpeak is a truly excellent DVD on the crop circle phenomenon, one of the first to investigate the topic without taking sides or having an agenda. I was so impressed by this DVD that we are going to feature it further in Issue 5 of Sub Rosa.
  • The Midnight Sun, a book on the mysteries of ancient Egypt by well-known author Alan Alford, is available from the Eridu Bookshop.

As I mentioned last week, some great content amongst those links, so take the time to check ’em out.

  1. The Ahriman Gate
    This book may have gotten many good reviews, but it is probably the worst most disgusting book that I ever read. I posted what I thought of it on Amazon US and then threw the book in the garbage.

        1. Mystery
          From what I can gather on Amazon, there are graphic descriptions of violent scenes in the book. Or maybe violent fantasies. The one review that mentions it is a bit vague about it. Maybe it’s Clive Barker violent, or it’s just blasphemous to Christians, I don’t know.

          Violent fantasies and the Christian Church … this book should be right up your alley, Shadows. 😉

          1. The real ‘Master’
            It is even Stephen King who described Clive Barker as the real master of the horror genre.

            I read a few of his books, like weave world (if I remember the title correctly) and it was pretty heavy indeed although quite imaginative.

      1. The Ahriman Gate
        I picked up the name of this book on a previous posting of The Daily Grail and I thought the name looked interesting not realizing that what it means is the Gate to Hell. This is my review on Amazon:
        This is without a doubt the most disgusting book that I have ever had the misfortune to buy. I think that there is nothing put forth by pseudoscience that the writers neglected to add to their book such as the supposed “face” on Mars. They have shown that they know little or nothing about genetics except for misinformation given in the newspapers. In fact, one of the characters in the book was described on page 87 as a physicist and on page 134, as a genetical engineer. There is quite a bit of difference between these two professions and I don’t think one person could be both.
        One thing that struck me as most interesting was not so much the trash in the book as the tributes on the back cover of the paper back edition. “Forget the Da Vinci Code! The Ahriman Gate shows us that the `Genetic Code’ will soon unleash the mother of all conspiracies.”-National Book Review. I wonder if the person who wrote this knows what the genetic code (the genes on our DNA that gives us the color of our eyes and all of the rest of our characteristics) is. Besides that this book can in no way be compared to the Da Vinci Code, which is extremely well written and not full of nasty images.
        Another one of the tributes is: “Absolutely over the top! Should be read and used by Christian educators to begin a serious debate on the ethics of genetic medication.”…publisher of Christian Parenting Today Magazine. I feel sorry for anyone who couldn’t find another more scientifically correct book to start such a debate.
        Worst of all, this is classified as inspirational Christian Fiction. This book is about as far from meeting this classification that any book could be.

          1. Some novels have plenty to complain about
            To me, it sounds like Pauline is complaining about it being poorly researched and poorly written Christian propaganda. From what I’ve seen, people who have a preachy agenda, even one that’s not religious in nature, tend to make very poor fiction authors. They’re so hot-and-bothered to get their message across that they forget that a good novel actually needs a well-thought-out plot and well-developed characters, not to mention such ‘subtleties‘ as structural coherence, pacing, foreshadowing, running bits, set-ups and payoffs, etc.

          2. OK OK
            But why has it got such good reviews?

            I didn’t realise it carried a Christian message.I don’t read things with Christian messages.

            Sorry Pauline.Thanks for the warning.

          3. Potty
            I think there was a glitch in the Amazon software, and the reviews should’ve been for Harry Potter. I’d give my left arm for Clive Barker to rewrite Harry potter! Imagine Weasly getting his comeuppance from the Nightbreed gang! Muahahaha. I have rats in my roof.

          4. Christian propaganda
            Kat
            That is exactly what I was trying to say. I guess I need more practice.

            Nah, no practice needed. I’m glad you posted, I’ll give the Ahriman Gate a miss now (unless I don’t have to pay for it). I don’t like fiction with an ulterior motive (which is why I couldn’t get into Narnia … or even Lord of the Rings, well the third preachy party anyway). Maybe I should give Harry Potter a go …
