Lucas Buck's Library

Welcome! I have compiled a list of items that may be of interest to you. Is Lucas a fallen angel, or the devil himself? Perhaps only a mere mortal with an interest in the black arts? We'll probably never know, but there are still interesting books on these subjects.

There are also other items, such as movies by AG cast members.

* Toyer : A Novel
by Gardner McKay
In "The Buck Stops Here", Lucas Buck is attacked by someone using a TROCAR. In "Toyer", a trocar is again used for evil means. It's a small reminder of our beloved AG, anyway, and it's been getting some good reviews!
There's never been a serial criminal like him. He charms his way into the home of any woman he chooses. He uses a weapon the police have never seen before -- a hideous thing called a "trocar". And he does worse than kill his victims: He leaves them dead *and* alive, at the same time. His name is Toyer. Your mind is his toy.
In the city of Los Angeles, Toyer attracts victims with his exceptional good looks, boyish letter jacket, and disarming love for chess and other games. But in a hospital ward, neurologist Maude Garance tends to the victims whose brains he has mutilated. Her outrage turns into determination to stop the maniac the police can't catch. And her loneliness puts her at risk. For Toyer is still out there, beside his latest lover: "He watches her dream, he would like to crush her head like an egg."

Angels, Demons, Devils & Fallen Angels:


* 99 Answers to Questions About Angels, Demons & Spiritual Warfare
by B. J. Oropeza
B.J. Oropeza responds to today's rampant curiosity about supernatural phenomena by giving solid responses to 99 of the most basic questions about the spirit world.

* A Dictionary of Angels : Including the Fallen Angels
by Gustav Davidson
The result of sixteen years of research in Talmudic, gnostic, cabalistic, apocalyptic, patristic, and legendary texts, the classic reference work on angels is beautifully illustrated and its reissue coincides with the resurgence of belief in angels in America.

* A Field Guide to Demons, Fairies, Fallen Angels, and Other Subversive Spirits
by Carol K. MacK, Dinah MacK (Contributor)
The Macks divert our gaze from our contemporary red-faced, cloven-hoofed misrepresentation of demons to remind us of the ancient roles demons were originally assigned to play. From the Tommyknockers of North American mountain mines to the South African Mbulu that waits in the river for lone travelers, A Field Guide to Demons classifies these creatures by their domains--water, mountain, forest--rather than in alphabetical or cultural order, dishing out antique and contemporary lore on these most misunderstood of spirits. A Field Guide to Demons melds folklore and mythology; maintains a surprisingly evenhanded view of demons; and reveals their role as the necessary challenger to established order, the antagonist--without which there could be no hero--and the darkness through which goodness shines brightest.

* The Complete Book of Devils and Demons
by Leonard R. N. Ashley

* The Devil : A Visual Guide to the Demonic, Evil, Scurrilous, and Bad
by Genevieve Morgan (Contributor), Tom Morgan
Good and evil are endlessly intertwined - but evil has always been more fun. In The Devil: A Visual Guide to the Demonic, Evil, Scurrilous, and Bad, authors Genevieve Morgan and Tom Morgan present the stories, speculation, history, and theology of the dark side, complete with sumptuous illustrations, all collected in one gorgeous volume. Included in this handy compendium is information on the Devil and his various names and incarnations; demons; Hell and other abodes of the Devil damnation; heretics, witches, warlocks, diabolical signs and familiars; and protection against the Devil. Whether you call him Lucifer, Satan, Leviathan, Beelzebub or the Prince of Darkness, the Devil gets his due in this wickedly entertaining and informative almanac.

* Fallen Angels...and Spirits of the Dark
by Robert Masello
Delving into the unexplored territory of infamous angels and evil beings, gripping accounts of the exploits of fallen angels, demons, werewolves, witches and warlocks, vampires, poltergeists, and ghosts are highlighted with spells and incantations, legends, and verse.

* Forbidden Mysteries of Enoch : Fallen Angels and the Origins of Evil
by Gustave Dore (Illustrator), Elizabeth Claire Prophet, Louis C. Tiffany (Illustrator)
Enoch's encounter with the "fallen angels" known as "Watchers" prompted a daring expose on their true identity. But, why was the Book of Enoch lost for 1500 years? Contains all the Enoch text and research parallels. (Philosophy/Metaphysics)

Audio Book, Narrated by Gary Cole:


* Unspeakable [ABRIDGED]
by Sandra Brown, Gary Cole (Narrator)
In Unspeakable, actor Gary Cole (In the Line of Fire, American Gothic) effectively drawls his way through Sandra Brown's sultry suspense. Using his natural voice throughout the story, Gary's exceptional acting skills and creative inflection bring an enlivened clarity to the characters. Recently escaped from prison, Carl Herbold heads for Texas to take his revenge on his stepfather, Delray Corbett, who had a hand in convicting him. Corbett fears Carl's reprisal will endanger the lives of his widowed daughter-in-law, Anna, and her small son David. The aging rancher finds an ally in Jack Sawyer, a mysterious drifter all too familiar with Carl's devious capabilities. Jack is drawn to Anna, and the deaf woman's silence speaks to his heart--a heart burdened with a painful secret that may keep the two apart.
