  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  n 2010, a shocking video stunned the digital world—an unknown individual brutally killing cats in an unimaginable manner. This wasn't just animal cruelty; it was the beginning of one of the most bizarre and disturbing criminal cases in modern history. 
  "Hunting the Cat Killer: The Strangest Case History Has Ever Known" unveils the extraordinary true story of Luka Magnotta, a narcissistic psychopath who manipulated the internet for fame and terror. When outraged viewers formed an unofficial investigation team on Facebook, they unknowingly entered a deadly game of cat-and-mouse with a killer who thrived on attention. 
  Author Walid Saleh meticulously reconstructs this digital-age thriller, following amateur sleuths Deanna Thompson and John Green as they analyzed video clues, tracked false identities, and uncovered a web of manufactured celebrity. From Toronto to London to Paris, the investigation reveals a disturbing portrait of modern evil—a man who created hundreds of fake profiles, fabricated his own fame, and used social media as both weapon and stage. 
  The case escalated terrifyingly when Luka's violence turned toward humans, culminating in the brutal murder of Jun Lin and an international manhunt that exposed the dark intersection of narcissism, digital manipulation, and serial killer psychology. Drawing inspiration from films like "Basic Instinct" and "American Psycho," Luka orchestrated his crimes as performances, leaving investigators to decipher reality from his carefully constructed fiction.

  My Sort of Philosophy by Christian Santiago 
  What begins as a meditation on photography evolves into something much deeper—a journey through art, memory, and self-discovery. In My Sort of Philosophy, Christian Santiago invites listeners into his world of storytelling, where images, words, and life experiences blur into one evolving narrative. 
  This audiobook isn’t a traditional “how-to” or a step-by-step manual. Instead, it unfolds naturally—like a photograph developing in the darkroom—capturing the beauty of imperfection, the uncertainty of time, and the ways art shapes the way we see ourselves and the world around us. 
  Part memoir, part creative reflection, and part philosophy, Santiago explores what it means to create, to be inspired, and to keep moving forward when time itself feels scarce. Honest, personal, and unfiltered, this work is for anyone searching for meaning in their craft—or simply looking for a reminder that art, in all its forms, is a living thing. 
  Whether you’re an artist, a dreamer, or someone navigating your own creative path, My Sort of Philosophy offers perspective, inspiration, and the raw truth of an idea allowed to grow into something more.

  Fortune and Folly - The Weird...

  Briarcliff Mansion and the land it occupies are owned by Emory University, which refers to it as its "Briarcliff Campus." Fortune and Folly, in part, illuminates the largely lost story of how the mansion, and the entire surrounding neighborhood, got its name. But in order to understand the mansion, we have to understand the man who built it. 
   
   
   
  Briarcliff Mansion once belonged to a man named Asa Candler, Jr.—also known as Buddie. The second son and namesake of Coca-Cola founder Asa Griggs Candler, Buddie was a wealthy real estate developer of great successes and greater failures. A man of big vision and bigger adventures, and a socialite whose boisterous, unapologetic personality made him both beloved and reviled in the Atlanta community. But after he passed away in 1953, his stories faded from memory, either tangled up with or overshadowed by his father. 
   
   
   
  It's no mystery why Briarcliff garners attention. It's self-consciously grandiose, built to display maximum grandeur to the neighborhood. It towers over the landscape, set far back from the road behind a filled-in, overgrown pool. Its face is stitched together where a music hall was added two years after the main house was completed, and the bricks don't quite match up. This book offers a deep-dive into the life of Asa Candler, Jr. to excavate a piece—and place—of Atlanta history.

  Mainline Mama - A Memoir

  Keeonna Harris

  A powerful exploration of self-resilience, family, and community from activist and prison abolitionist Keeonna Harris. 
  Keeonna and Jason met as young teens. Only fourteen, Keeonna had never had a boyfriend before, dreamed of attending Spelman to become an obstetrician, and thought she was “grown.” Within a year she was pregnant and Jason was in prison, convicted of a carjacking and sentenced to twenty-two years. Overnight Keeonna had become a “mainline mama,” a parent facing the task of raising a child—while still growing up herself—with an incarcerated partner.  
  In this triumphant memoir, Keeonna recalls her challenging journey as a mainline mama, from learning to overcome the exhausting difficulties of navigating the carceral system in the United States to transforming herself into an advocate for women like her—the predominantly Black and Brown women left behind to pick up the pieces of their families and fractured lives.  
  Keeonna speaks frankly about the forces that threatened to defeat her, how she learned to re - build her broken relationship with a mother who had lost trust in her, and how time eased the shame, guilt, and stigma of being a young Black teen mom with a partner behind bars. She offers inspiration and solace, showing how to create moments of beauty, humanity, and love—such as picking the perfect wedding dress for a ceremony in a state prison visiting room—in a place de - signed to break spirits.  
  Mainline Mama is about creating self-love and community—crucial acts of radical resistance against a prison industrial complex designed to dehumanize and to separate and shut away incarcerated individuals and their loved ones from the world.
