Simon Magus: A magical and uplifting tale set in 19th Century Europe. Believing him to be possessed by the Devil, Simon's fellow villagers taunt and persecute him. The community is in a state of crisis; all the through-trade has been taken away by the newly constructed railroad. Hase, a ruthless merchant, and Dovid, an earnest young Scholar, have had the same idea, to build a railway station that will safeguard their future. But Hase is determined to prevent his competitor from controlling the new railway trade. Taking advantage of Simon's vulnerability, he enlists him as a spy against the village and in doing so places everyone's future into the bewildered young man's hands. The Nine Livers Of Tomas Katz: As a solar eclipse plunges London into darkness, the populace descends into madness. From the sewers comes the shape-shifting Tomas Katz who is the cause of the insanity gripping the capital and who has designs for even greater chaos. Only a blind police officer, with links to the spirit world, can save the mysterious "astral child", who represents life and nature, from Katz's evil clutches...
