  Edward Everett Hale’s The Man Without a Country is a poignant and patriotic short story that explores the devastating consequences of exile and the importance of national identity. The story follows Philip Nolan, a young army officer who, in a moment of reckless defiance, renounces his country during a treason trial. As punishment, he is sentenced to spend the rest of his life at sea, never again hearing mention of the United States. Over the years, Nolan comes to deeply regret his actions, realizing the true meaning of belonging and patriotism as he drifts from one ship to another, forever a man without a home. 
  Narrated by Burt Glendower, this audiobook brings to life Hale’s moving and thought-provoking tale, which remains a powerful meditation on loyalty, identity, and the profound connection between an individual and their homeland. Originally published in 1863, The Man Without a Country was written during the American Civil War, serving as a cautionary tale meant to inspire national unity and devotion.

  Fresh from the cutting room floor, The Silver Scream exposes the bloodiest behind-the-scenes details of the most gruesome, shocking, true-crime tragedy of our time. Part autopsy, part grisly director’s “cut,” this is the only book with a comprehensive exploration inside the mind of America’s notorious, celluloid-obsessed, rock star turned cinema-copycat murderer, Spencer Charnas. Bayonet Award–winning television reporter Roy Merkin is the only storyteller in possession of the journals scrawled by disgraced psychotherapist Dr. Ian Black. The Silver Scream reconstructs, with unflinching detail, how fiction became fact, art imitated death, and the most horrific movie murders by the likes of Jason, Leatherface, Freddy, Michael, and the rest became real. Merkin courageously slashes open the ghoulish mind and tortured nightmares of Spencer himself, probing deeply, with razor-sharp precision. Learn how the box office created so many oblong boxes.  
   
  Understand why this rock n’ roll heartthrob chose to stop so many human hearts.
