  This bundle has the following titles:  
  One of the big lords of the drug cartels in Colombia is Pablo Escobar, a criminal who became a leader and expanded his influence on organized crime throughout the North and South American continents. With billions in his bank account, in cash, and in other assents, it’s not easy to ignore his name and the power he gained. In 1976, Escobar established the Medellín Cartel, which dispersed powder cocaine, and developed the first smuggling paths into the United States. In the 1982 Colombian parliamentary election, Escobar was chosen as an alternate member of the Chamber of Representatives as part of the Liberal Alternative movement. 
  Initially diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, and after a separation of his parents, Edmund Kemper already showed his twisted mind at 15 years old, when he murdered both his grandparents, who were taking care of him. Whether through nature or nurture, this man didn’t show a promising future from the get-go. But perhaps nobody could have suspected the horrors he would inflict on his many victims later in his life. Edmund Kemper, born in 1948, has become a notorious serial killer. He is known for having raped, mutilated, and murdered young women and especially hitchhikers. Being labelled with being a necrophile and a cannibal, his crimes have been exposed, partially by himself, and even though he has requested the death penalty, he is still locked up for life.

  Netflix’s Monster: The Ed Gein Story — Actors and Their Real-Life Counterparts 
  How True Horror Inspired Netflix’s Darkest Transformation 
  By Vivian Brightwell 
  Behind every monster lies a man — and behind every performance, a mirror. 
  In this chilling and deeply reflective audiobook, Vivian Brightwell dissects Netflix’s Monster: The Ed Gein Story — exploring how real horror, cinematic artistry, and moral ambiguity collide. Through compelling comparisons between the actors and the real people they portray, this book examines what it truly means to become the monster. 
  From Charlie Hunnam’s unnervingly quiet interpretation of Ed Gein to Tom Hollander’s calculated Alfred Hitchcock, each performance reveals more than imitation — it exposes the uneasy relationship between fact and fiction, empathy and disgust, art and exploitation. 
  Blending historical accuracy, psychological insight, and cultural critique, Brightwell invites listeners to confront an uncomfortable truth: horror endures not because of violence, but because it reflects who we are. 
  Why do we keep watching monsters? 
  Perhaps because, in the end, we’re searching for our own reflection in the dark.

  Yet, incredibly, through it all the Cardy family found comfort in God. They discovered that God's love is greater than even the worst tragedy that can befall us and can be our strength through even the darkest of days.
