The Ring of Thoth

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

The Ring of Thoth is a tale of Fantasy, mystery, the supernatural and horror by the creator of Sherlock Holmes. Author Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle was born on May 22, 1859, in Edinburgh, Scotland. The Doyles were a prosperous Irish-Catholic family, who had a prominent position in the world of Art. Charles Altamont Doyle, Arthur's father, a chronic alcoholic, was the only member of his family, who apart from fathering a brilliant son, never accomplished anything of note. Charles had married Mary Foley, a vivacious and very well-educated young woman of seventeen. Mary had a passion for books and was a master storyteller. Her son Arthur wrote of his mother's gift of "sinking her voice to a horror-stricken whisper" when she reached the culminating point of a story. There was little money in the family and even less harmony on account of his father's excesses and erratic behavior After Arthur reached his ninth birthday, the wealthy members of the Doyle family offered to pay for his studies. He was in tears all the way to England, where for seven years he had to go to a Jesuit boarding school. It was during these difficult years at boarding school that Arthur realized he also had a talent for storytelling. He was often found, surrounded by a bevy of totally enraptured younger students, listening to the amazing stories he would make up to amuse them. Doyle died on July 7th, 1930, from heart disease. Besides the Sherlock Holmes stories, his other publications include non-fiction, plays, verse, memoirs, short stories, and several historical novels and supernatural and speculative fiction. The Lost World is perhaps the best known of his other fictional works.

Conspiracy - History’s Greatest...

Charlotte Greig

22 November 1963: Dallas, Texas. US President John F Kennedy is assassinated as his motorcade passes through the city's streets. The assassin is soon captured, and revealed to be disaffected Communist sympathizer Lee Harvey Oswald. Did Oswald act alone, or did he have help? Is the Bilderberg Group simply a group of international financiers concerned with promoting democracy throughout the world, or is there a more sinister power at work? And what really happened to Princess Diana's Mercedes one warm August night in a Paris underpass? 
 
Conspiracy looks at a range of the most interesting theories of this nature, from the risibly far-fetched, such as the belief that the world is run by the lizard people, to the only-too-true and tragic such as the overthrow and murder of Chilean President Salvador Allende.

Urban Crime and Safety -...

Lyric Vale

Urban crime is a complex and pervasive issue that affects millions of people across the globe. As cities continue to grow and evolve, the challenges of maintaining safety and reducing criminal activity become more pressing. Urban areas, often characterized by dense populations, diverse social dynamics, and limited resources, can create an environment where crime thrives. These cities face a unique set of circumstances that contribute to the rise of criminal activities, ranging from petty theft to violent crimes. The relationship between urban crime and safety is multifaceted and requires a comprehensive understanding of its causes, impact, and the strategies necessary for effective crime prevention.
The rise in urban crime can be attributed to several factors, including social inequality, economic disparity, inadequate law enforcement, and environmental design issues. High levels of poverty, unemployment, and lack of education in certain neighborhoods often serve as breeding grounds for criminal behavior. In many urban centers, individuals with limited opportunities turn to crime as a means of survival or social mobility. The breakdown of social networks and a lack of community cohesion further exacerbate these challenges, making it difficult to foster a sense of security and mutual trust among residents.
Urban crime also places a significant strain on local law enforcement and public resources. Police departments are often overwhelmed by the volume and diversity of crimes that occur in cities. Additionally, urban environments may present logistical challenges for law enforcement agencies, such as limited manpower, insufficient technology, and high crime concentrations in certain areas. This can lead to delayed responses, reduced effectiveness, and strained relations between law enforcement and the communities they serve.

Underwater - The Greed-Soaked...

Irvin Muchnick

“Horrifying stuff that we desperately need to know.” — Scott Ostler, sports columnist, San Francisco Chronicle
		 
Backed by hundreds of interviews and thousands of pages of USA Swimming files subpoenaed by the FBI, Irvin Muchnick uncovers a generation of cover-ups involving some of the sport’s biggest names
		 
The hundreds of millions who watch the thrilling spectacle of the Olympics are unaware of the extent to which their entertainment is undergirded by the systematic abuse by coaches of the underage athletes they develop. Many flag-waving fans gained some sense of the problem from the USA Gymnastics scandals, but for generations, the crimes in swimming have caused a much wider tsunami of pain and trauma around the world.
		 
Backed by thousands of pages of FBI files and the author’s independent investigations, Underwater is the first comprehensive account of this ongoing and unacceptable phenomenon. Irvin Muchnick, a well-known chronicler of the dark side of sports, pulls together shocking stories involving some of the most iconic coaches in swimming history and some of the sport’s most celebrated programs — including Michael Phelps’s. The book lays the blame not just at the feet of individual villains but also at a system that casually commodifies and sexualizes the vulnerable and non-consenting, prioritizing the pursuit of athletic scholarships, Olympic medals, glory, and riches.
		 
Underwater arrives just as a congressional commission has called for the first fundamental changes in the U.S. youth sports system in half a century. In the author’s estimation, this reform is the only real way to protect kids from the predation of the money-first stewards of professionalized sports.

Several submitted stories found in this volume, including the story of five-year-old Stephanie Hebert, who walked only three houses down her quiet suburban sidewalk and disappeared forever.

In this volume, you’ll find 12 assorted true crime stories ranging in date from the 1950s to 2020.
There’s the story of the sadistic mother who viewed her children only as the spawn of their demon father, torturing them for their entire short lives.

Another story tells the disheartening tale of a toddler’s skeleton found in a suitcase on the side of the road. Motorcyclists discovered her mother’s skeleton more than 600 miles away. Five years had passed, with no one even realizing they were missing.
