  A taxidermied monkey named Mr. Peepers. A rare collection of anatomical wax figures for sale in Munich. A Tibetan Kapala skull decorated with bits of coral. Two Charlie McCarthy dolls that may (or may not) be haunted. The incredible memento mori collection of Richard Harris. An actual witch's door. That's all just for starters. 
   
   
   
  Welcome to a world of oddities curated by Regina and Ryan Cohn, trendsetters and tastemakers who have reinvented what the artifact collectors market looks like. Together, they are the founders of Oddities Flea Market, artfully curating a selection of the best artists and collectors at several events across the US throughout the year, with an eye towards expanding globally. In The Witch's Door, Ryan, who starred in the reality television show Oddities, and Regina, who comes from the world of fashion, give us a rare peek behind the curtain into the business of collecting the strange and unusual and the cast of eccentric characters they meet along the way. 
   
   
   
  Ryan and Regina take listeners all over the world, from Brooklyn to Bavaria, giving them the inside scoop on how they purchase artifacts to sell and those they want to keep. Perfect for fans of Oddities, Atlas Obscura, and Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities, this collectible book is a must-listen for those happily inclined toward the dark side.

  Tough Crowd - How I made and...

  Having cut his teeth in music journalism, Graham Linehan became the finest sitcom writer of his generation. He captured the comedy zeitgeist not just as the co-creator of Father Ted but also with The IT Crowd and Black Books, winning five Baftas and a lifetime achievement award. Then his life took an unexpected turn. When he championed an unfashionable cause, TV commissioners no longer returned his emails, showbiz pals lost his number and his marriage collapsed. In an emotionally charged memoir that is by turns hilarious and harrowing, he lets us into the secrets of the writing room and colourfully describes the high-octane atmosphere of a sitcom set. But he also berates an industry where there was no one to stand by his side when he needed help. Bruised but not beaten, he explains why he chose the hill of women and girls' rights to die on - and why, despite the hardship of cancellation, he's not coming down from it any time soon.

  Yet Will I Trust Him is more than just a statement said by an ancient Biblical character. It is a statement that must be true in everyone who names the name of Jesus. It is easy to look at a statement like that and be inspired, but it takes on a whole different meaning when you have to live it. I want to share my story with you and explain exactly what I mean. I pray this book you hold in your hands will help you if you ever have to live out this most powerful statement of faith. 
  What if I told you it was my frustrations and disappointments that strengthened my relationship and faith in God? What if I told you it was not the blessings that made me love God more but his sustaining power in my trials that fueled my confidence in him? What if I told you that you can be happy and flourish without the things you thought you couldn’t live without? 
  In Yet Will I Trust Him, I will discuss the things God showed me in the midst of my greatest tragedies. This is not a normal story, but it is my story. It is full of priceless revelation that came out of costly experiences. I pray that as you read this book, possibly from your fiery furnace or your lion’s den, you experience Jesus in a way that will change your life and encourage you forever. Everything may be going great for you now. I pray this book helps you if at any moment a storm rises up and threatens to shake your faith. 
  If you question if God is good all the time, this book is for you. God is always at work and is always speaking. Are we watching and listening?

  Tired of toxic celebrity culture distorting your habits, mental health, and self-esteem? Have you fallen prey to the manipulation of a narcissist or sociopath? Or perhaps you're a creative whose work was exploited by someone more influential. It’s time to expose the gaslighting tactics used by modern day manipulators - including celebrities and corporations - strategies meticulously crafted to capture your attention and line their pockets, all while they knock off creators, sell illusions, and embody hypocrisy. 
  In this compelling and transformative memoir, Alanna Zabel bravely reveals some of the posers, abusers, and knock-offs she has personally experienced while navigating a spiritual life in a superficial world — one where the wealthy and powerful often turn a blind eye to injustice to ensure their own personal interests. 
  Alongside her personal journey, interwoven with profound stories of synchronicity and spirituality, Alanna highlights the evolution of morality, the growing influence of corporate greed, and the healing power of our interconnected world. Through her life as a celebrity yoga instructor, entrepreneur, and spiritual realist, Alanna shares empowering lessons to help you navigate through the smoke and mirrors of our media-saturated and excessively filtered world, while confronting manipulation and betrayal in the elite's shark-infested pool - where the waters are far more dangerous than they appear on the surface. 
  Knock It Off! is your guide to recognizing common predatory and abusive personalities in our world today. Alanna’s resilience, humor, and insightful spirituality shine through each shocking share, closing each chapter with helpful prompts and thoughtful considerations for you to live free from common deceptions.

  For the fiftieth anniversary of his murder, this gritty, engrossing, definitive biography of the legendary Black writer Donald Goines—the Godfather of Urban Street Lit and "one of hip hop's greatest inspirations" (The Source Magazine)—is back. 
   
   
   
  Addict, thief, pimp, pusher, player—and most notably, groundbreaking writer. Donald Goines was all of these. 
   
   
   
  As a kid, Donald Goines was the product of a middle-class family. After high school, he joined the Air Force—and discovered the heroin that would rule the remainder of his life. On the streets, he turned to writing when he was straight enough to keep at it. He used the language of the streets and he wrote of its people. Goines's success was immediate and exciting. But eventually those same streets claimed him. He was murdered as he sat writing a new book. Yet his legacy continues, as a revolutionary in the literary world and also in music, with major hip-hop artists including 50 Cent, Nas, and Jay-Z all crediting Goines's novels as influences. Here is his complete story.
