  Since the murder of Sharon Tate in 1969, the names Charles Manson and Roman Polanski have been brutally linked. But new analysis of the parallel and intertwining stories of these two men reveals a connection that preceded that fateful day.In their early years Manson and Polanski both developed a hatred of the establishment and of authority—Manson, from being abused by relatives, school staff, and jailors, and Polanski from living under the Nazi regime and then Polish Communists in the 1950s.Manson was released from prison and promptly went to the wildest place in North America (San Francisco's Haight Ashbury) at around the same time as Polanski headed for the wildest place in Europe (swinging London). Their paths crossed in Hollywood in the late 1960s, where Polanski had wild success, Manson utter failure. Then on August 8, 1969, Manson orchestrated the murder of Polanski's wife, actress Sharon Tate, and her unborn son.Combining celebrity biography, analysis of a high-profile murder, and in-depth consideration of the lasting legacy of the crime in Polanski's directorial work, Blood and Fame is a riveting investigation that will appeal to both film lovers and true crime listeners alike.

  Every serial killer is a “nice guy”—until he’s found out. The shocking, true account of a Southern charmer who left a trail of victims in his wake.

  After Marcus was caught and sentenced to life in prison in the late ’70s, author Linda Lou Long spent years corresponding with him. The Tuskegee Strangler gives an inside look into the workings of a man who is not your typical serial killer.

  The Port Arthur Massacre: Forensic Gaps, Media Silence, and a Nation Misled 
  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. 
  On 28 April 1996, Australia was shaken by one of the deadliest mass shootings in modern history. Within hours, Martin Bryant was branded guilty, and within weeks, sweeping gun laws were pushed through. But behind the headlines lies a darker truth—one of forensic gaps, sealed witness statements, and a story that was never tested in open court. 
  Why were over 800 witness statements withheld? Why was there no coronial inquest? And how could a man with an IQ of just 66 carry out a massacre with military precision? 
  This audiobook asks the questions the government and media never wanted answered. It exposes contradictions, examines the evidence that was buried, and shines light on what may be the greatest unresolved mystery in Australian history. 
  If you value truth over silence, if you believe facts matter even when uncomfortable, this book will challenge everything you thought you knew about Port Arthur. 
  Prepare to be enlightened. Prepare to question the narrative. And prepare to discover why, nearly 30 years later, the questions just won’t die.
