  What if the artist wasn’t a master of his craft—but a mouthpiece for something divine? 
  In Ion, Plato explores the nature of poetic inspiration in a lively exchange between Socrates and the rhapsode Ion. Ion claims mastery over Homer’s verses, but Socrates questions whether such talent comes from knowledge or from divine possession. 
  This modern translation brings Plato’s insight into the modern era, opening a timeless discussion about where creativity truly comes from—and what that means for artists, performers, and thinkers alike. 
  What you'll discover inside: 
  •	The Origins of Artistic Inspiration – Explore Plato’s view of creativity as divine madness 
  •	Socrates’ Challenge to Poetic Pride – Ion’s mastery is questioned by reason itself 
  •	Art, Prophecy, and the Irrational – Connect poetry to prophecy and the mysteries of the human mind 
  •	A Modern, Engaging Translation – Clear and accessible, with Plato’s irony and brilliance intact 
  Whether you’re a poet, philosopher, or curious mind, Ion will challenge how you understand genius—and where it comes from.

  On the day she was murdered, Myrtle Underwood Cook boasted to local authorities about new evidence of a major bootlegging ring operating out of the Rock Island train depot behind her house in a small town in eastern Iowa. Then, as she sat at her window sewing, she took a single slug through the heart. She was president of the local temperance union; her killing made the front page of the New York Times. The next day her funeral made national news due to the eerie presence of a small army from the Ku Klux Klan, its members, donned in full regalia, drawn from three surrounding states. 
   
   
   
  It was September 1925, and Al Capone had just taken over the Chicago Outfit, evangelist Billy Sunday was converting thousands to temperance, and the KKK had marched on Washington, DC. During its first half century of statehood, Iowa lurched from wet to dry and back eight times before Prohibition was ratified in 1919. And when Iowa was still a territory, its Black Codes imprinted generations with a legacy of intolerance and racism. 
   
   
   
  Mrs. Cook and the Klan is a true crime investigation that not only sheds new light on Myrtle Underwood Cook's unsolved killing but also explores the confluence of the social, political, and economic forces that brought the Klan, street gangs, a local mob boss, and the temperance movement together in a small American town.

She cares about her patients, trying to connect with their grief and loss—but it's hard when she's fighting her own battle against sleep deprivation and corporate indifference. The one patient she is able to truly connect with is Nathaniel. Tisha and Nathaniel couldn't be more different, except they both know what it's like to be born a size too big for this world. Too angry, too large, and too inconvenient to ever truly fit in with the rest of society. 
   
  As Nathaniel rages against the slow decay of his life, Tisha begins to see a monster stalking the dismal halls of the Harmony nursing home. Worse than death, the monster wants to take from the patients while they're still alive until they're nothing but husks of their former selves. Tisha must overcome her own slow decay at the hands of apathy and bureaucracy before the monster can take everything she has left.

  Under an August Moon

  Humans often gravitate toward toxicity, dazed by love and familiarity. This blind compliance traps them, demonstrating how easily attachment can obscure clarity and affix them to unhealthy environments. James Douglas's book Under an August Moon is a coarse and intimate memoir that outlines the severe undermining of a toxic relationship. Beginning with the heartache of personal loss and moving through the rough stages of an abusive marriage, Douglas incorporates a story that is as emotionally engrossing as it is brutally honest. Furthermore, the book grasps the sophistications of love, betrayal, and self-discovery in a setting of small-town life and societal intimidations. One quality that makes this account distinctive is its analysis of the psychological toll of manipulation and gaslighting. Here, Douglas shares the subtle early warning signs that many overlook, presenting a stimulating consideration of how easily love can morph into control. His unrestrained narrative urges readers into the emotional delicacies of his journey—from moments of transient happiness to the suffocating hold of abuse. Fundamentally, this book attests to stability and the intrepidity required to reframe one's identity. Douglas's journey proposes hope to anyone entangled in the shadows of toxic relationships, illustrating that freedom, though messy, is always within reach.
