Sinossi

A New England community is rocked by a serial killer, a mass shooter, and a sexual predator—all in a single day—in this true crime chronicle. On January 7, 1994, residents of Berkshire Hills woke up to a typical winter day in the majestic woods of Western Massachusetts. But as that fateful day unfolded, three separate crimes—each unsettling in its own way—would converge in this quaint corner of New England. That day, a trial began for college student, Wayne Lo, who celebrated his 18th birthday by purchasing an assault rifle and opening fire on campus—killing two and wounding four others. Elsewhere, two young girls were accosted in the changing room at the local pool. And another young girl narrowly escaped being abducted at gunpoint on her way to school. Her quick thinking later resulted in profound repercussions regarding another case—that of a young boy who vanished from a strip mall. Though these events appeared unrelated, it seemed as though the world had suddenly gone mad. In Hidden Demons, Margery B. Metzger details these events and reveals a savage serial killer, Lewis Lent, Jr., who lurked in the shadows. It was the bravery of a father and daughter, and the remarkable work of law enforcement officers, that would see justice done.

    Best known as a leader of the Indian takeover of Alcatraz Island in 1969, Adam Fortunate Eagle now offers an unforgettable memoir of his years as a young student at Pipestone Indian Boarding School in Minnesota. In this rare firsthand account, Fortunate Eagle lives up to his reputation as a "contrary warrior" by disproving the popular view of Indian boarding schools as bleak and prisonlike. 
     
     
     
    Fortunate Eagle attended Pipestone between 1935 and 1945, just as Commissioner of Indian Affairs John Collier's pluralist vision was reshaping the federal boarding school system to promote greater respect for Native cultures and traditions. But this book is hardly a dry history of the late boarding school era. Telling this story in the voice of his younger self, the author takes us on a delightful journey into his childhood and the inner world of the boarding school. Along the way, he shares anecdotes of dormitory culture, student pranks, and warrior games. Although Fortunate Eagle recognizes Pipestone's shortcomings, he describes his time there as nothing less than "a little bit of heaven." 
     
     
     
    Were all Indian boarding schools the dispiriting places that history has suggested? This book allows listeners to decide for themselves.

    Seattle band, The Gits and their charismatic front person Mia Zapata were on the verge of international rock stardom but on  July 7, 1993, days before their third United States tour, Mia Zapata, The Gits twenty-seven-year-old singer-songwriter, was brutally assaulted and murdered by a stranger. Zapata's death sent chilling ripples through progressive communities throughout the United States. She became a cause-celebre for women's rights activists outraged by the brutal killing and lack of law enforcement support. This book reclaims Zapata's story to focus on the art she and The Gits created and not her tragic end. 
     
     
     
    Much has been written and said about her murder, yet Zapata's life and work remain overshadowed by the circumstances of her death. Zapata's friend and bandmate, Steve Moriarty, tells her story—and the story of their band, The Gits—from their first meeting in 1985 to their last goodbye. 
     
     
     
    The Gits's story is more than a biography; it's a testament to the ability of artists and musicians to challenge the status quo and the power of friendship to change the world. Moriarty reframes the sensationalist story as he shares his personal narrative and presents, with intimacy, grit, and humor, the lived experience of The Gits and his dear friend, Mia Zapata.

    Not all heroes wear capes. Some wear glitter. 
    Frankie Grande always knew he was different. He just didn't know it was his superpower. Growing up glittery in a grayscale world, he found refuge in the fantasy realms of rainbow belts, telepathic mutants, and intergalactic girlbosses. (Looking at you, Rainbow Brite.) But behind the show tunes and sparkles was a lonely little boy fighting big, scary feelings―about identity, addiction, abandonment, and belonging. 
    In Supergay!, Frankie turns his hot mess history into comic-book canon, reframing every heartbreak and hard moment as part of a campy, chaotic, deeply human hero's journey. With outrageous honesty and unapologetic humor, he tells the story of how a fabulous queer nerd learned to stop hiding, start healing, and fully embrace the power of being too much. 
    This isn't just a memoir. It's a technicolor call to arms for anyone who's ever felt weird, othered, or alone. Because in a world that wants you to tone it down, the bravest thing you can do is turn the volume all the way up.

    THE BOLD NEW MEMOIR FROM SOUTH AFRICA'S DOUBLE WORLD CUP-WINNING COACH RASSIE ERASMUSRassie Erasmus has been called a genius. He’s been called reckless. All his life, he’s done things differently. Now, with his trademark candour, Rassie talks openly about his adventures and misadventures at the pinnacle of world rugby, both as player and coach.From his role in Nick Mallett's record-breaking Springbok team of the late 1990s, to the devastating injuries that cut short his playing career, to his revolutionary coaching career, Rassie is an essential window into one of the most successful figures of modern rugby.When his teammates relaxed, Rassie preferred to watch hours of video and devise winning strategies. His coaching methods were initially laughed off – before being eagerly adopted when their success proved undeniable. He fought the rugby establishment at the Stormers, and later earned the grudging respect of Irish fans at Munster.Most crucially, Rassie talks about his greatest contribution to South African rugby: appointing its first black captain, Siya Kolisi, without much fanfare or controversy. As his bold plans for effective racial transformation of the national team achieved immediate success, they culminated in glory at the 2019 Rugby World Cup. Here, that monumental period is recounted in vivid, insightful detail.Entertaining and eye-opening, Rassie is full of behind-the-scenes revelations, telling the story of a towering figure in world rugby.

    Friends and family knew Henry Louis Aaron as quick-witted, hilarious, and fiercely opinionated beyond what was shown in public. With the encouragement of Aaron’s family, Terence Moore now reveals this heartfelt portrait of Hank Aaron,  
    featuring nearly 40 years of stories plus never-before-told insights from the home run king. 
     
    You’ll see his wisdom. You’ll see his foresight. You’ll see his humor. You’ll see his anger. You’ll see his humanity. You’ll see Aaron as you’ve never seen him before. 
     
    Aaron not only battled racism during his playing days, but also during his days as a front office executive. The Hall of Famer shared this with Moore, who experienced his own strife at The Atlanta Journal-Constitution as the first Black sports  
    columnist ever in the Deep South. The two leaned on each other while developing a tight relationship, and Moore became The Hank Aaron Whisperer whenever the baseball great wanted to convey messages to the public. 
     
    The Real Hank Aaron captures the icon’s contagious laugh and pointed views, from the depth of his admiration for Jackie Robinson to his true thoughts on Barry Bonds and the steroid era. Featuring Aaron’s views on race, politics, media, and  
    sports fandom, this is a charming and illuminating glimpse at the man outside the spotlight. It’s an intimate perspective on the baseball legend, the culmination of decades of friendship and correspondence.
