    Jaz was born into a life of warmth and absolute love. Cherished by her parents and fiercely protected by her two older brothers, Mashir and Alex, her life was supposed to be a fairy tale. But for Jaz, the waking world was never safe. 
     
    This gripping memoir follows Jaz from her childhood in Pakistan to the United States, documenting how these mysterious encounters grow more frequent, complex, and profound. Discover "high strangeness" of her life, where nature itself speak, as owls and crows act as messengers from another realm. 
     
    It started at age four - flickers in the shadows, whispers in the silence, and things that went bump in the night that no one else could hear. Her family, loving and rational, dismissed it all as a harmless childhood imagination, confident it would pass. 
     
    They were wrong. As Jaz grows, the benign shadows turn into terrifying, otherworldly entities. The paranormal experiences escalate from unsettling encounters to heart-stopping, high strangeness events that defy logic. Caught between a loving home life and a secret, supernatural hell, Jaz is isolated in her fear, the only one seeing the true horror stalking her life. 
     
    This is a journey into the deepest, darkest unknown. The puzzle of her existence is growing, and the stakes are far higher than anyone imagined. Jaz must piece together the clues behind these malicious entities before the final pieces fall into place - because time is running out.

    This program includes an epilogue and acknowledgements read by the author“A fascinating tale of poisons and poisonous deeds which both educates and entertains.” --Kathy ReichsAs any reader or listener of murder mysteries can tell you, poison is one of the most enduring—and popular—weapons of choice for a scheming murderer. It can be slipped into a drink, smeared onto the tip of an arrow or the handle of a door, even filtered through the air we breathe. But how exactly do these poisons work to break our bodies down, and what can we learn from the damage they inflict?In a fascinating blend of popular science, medical history, and true crime, Dr. Neil Bradbury explores this most morbidly captivating method of murder from a cellular level. Alongside real-life accounts of murderers and their crimes—some notorious, some forgotten, some still unsolved—are the equally compelling stories of the poisons involved: eleven molecules of death that work their way through the human body and, paradoxically, illuminate the way in which our bodies function.Drawn from historical records and current news headlines, A Taste for Poison weaves together the tales of spurned lovers, shady scientists, medical professionals and political assassins to show how the precise systems of the body can be impaired to lethal effect through the use of poison. From the deadly origins of the gin & tonic cocktail to the arsenic-laced wallpaper in Napoleon’s bedroom, A Taste for Poison leads listeners on a fascinating tour of the intricate, complex systems that keep us alive—or don’t.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin's Press
