  Buried beneath the sands of Ancient Egypt lies a secret history far darker than the pyramids, pharaohs, and golden treasures we think we know… 
  For centuries, whispers of a forbidden ritual have haunted archaeologists and historians, a chilling practice woven into the rise and fall of Egypt’s most powerful rulers. In The Pharaoh’s Kill List: Inside the Ancient Egyptian Tradition of Human Sacrifice, bestselling researcher Davis Truman pulls back the curtain on a world where divine kingship demanded blood, loyalty was enforced through death, and every royal tomb carried secrets meant to stay hidden forever. 
  What Truman uncovers is not the Egypt of school textbooks. This is the Egypt of ritual executions, buried servants, silenced enemies, and elite corpses chosen to accompany the pharaoh into the afterlife. Through newly analyzed evidence, forgotten stelae, and translations of long-overlooked texts, this book dives deep into: 
  •	The origins of human sacrifice in early dynastic Egypt—and why it suddenly disappeared 
  •	Shocking archaeological finds that reveal entire retinues killed to serve their king beyond death 
  •	The political assassinations buried behind royal propaganda 
  •	The Pharaohs who expanded, concealed, or weaponized sacrificial rituals 
  •	How religion, fear, and absolute power shaped one of the most secretive traditions in the ancient world 
  Perfect for fans of ancient history, true crime, Egyptology, anthropology, and dark historical mysteries, this book delivers a gripping blend of scholarship and narrative storytelling. Every chapter pulls you deeper into the ritual logic of a civilization where gods walked among men—and where appeasing them required unthinkable acts. 
  If you believe you already know Ancient Egypt…Prepare to be proven wrong. 
  Enter the tomb. Face the truth. Discover what—and who—the Pharaohs were willing to sacrifice.

  Forest is a celebration of the diverse ways in which trees and forests are as magnificent, economically relevant and profoundly enchanting today as they ever have been. 
  Journeying across the continents, writer Matt Collins and photographer Roo Lewis tie together both the historical context and modern-day applications of some of the world's most fascinating and iconic trees. They explore the heritage of woodlands from around the world and meet those whose lives are inexplicably bound to them. 
  The book is divided into 10 main chapters, each of which explores a tree from a particular genus – Pine, Juniper, Oak, Hornbeam, Cherry, Beech, Birch, Chestnut, Douglas-fir and Poplar. Each chapter provides the reader with a short introduction to the tree, followed by a journalistic account of its relevance to modern day-life (from gin making on Isle of Islay to a truffle farm in Spain), and concludes with an account of the tree in its native forest (from hornbeams in the Ironwoods of Ontario to firs on Vancouver Island). 
  Captured on medium-format film, Roo’s stunning, rich colour images are the perfect companion to Matt’s engaging storytelling and botanical knowledge. Forest crafts a captivating interpretation of the story of the forest through the trees. 
  Matt Collins Forest is a non-fiction exploration of conservation, botany, and the protection of our ecosystems. Pre-order this up-coming book to learn about the latest themes and subjects in earth sciences and geography. 
  For fans of Richard Irvine (Forest School For Grown-Ups), Fiona Danks (Run Wild!), Jo Schofield (Go Wild!), and Bear Grylls (Never Give Up).

  Landis - The Story of a Real Man...

  Preston Fassel

  • 0

  At the dawn of the 1980s, there was one serious name in horror and exploitation film criticism: Bill Landis. While other magazines were concerned with behind-the-scenes information, tributes, and SFX tutorials, Landis' Sleazoid Express was one part film journal and one part anthropological study, seriously critiquing the grindhouse movies that played the theaters of 42nd Street while also documenting the dying subculture that had grown up around them. 
  Profiled in Rolling Stone for his pioneering work, Landis' over-the-top "Mr. Sleazoid" persona and double-life as an adult film star masked the pain behind a child genius whose intellect alienated him from his peers; a consummate outcast who only felt at home among other outcasts. 
  After settling into life as a husband, father, and author in the 90s, it seemed that Landis had turned a corner-but the ghosts of Times Square were never far behind him. Dead at the age of 49 on the eve of what should have been a successful comeback, his legacy has nominally been forgotten. Award-winning author and journalist Preston Fassel pieces together the full story of his life for the first time, from his turbulent childhood, to his meteoric rise in the New York vice scene, to his tragic demise on the streets of Chicago. 
  Featuring exclusive interviews with Kurt Loder (MTV; Rolling Stone), Michael J. Weldon (Psychotronic Video), Art Ettinger (Ultra Violent Magazine), Carl Abrahamsson, Mike McPadden (Heavy Metal Movies; Teen Movie Hell), and others, plus excerpts from Landis' unpublished autobiographical novella Last Exit in Manattan and a reprint of Landis' seminal Fangoria interview with Andy Milligan, Landis at last pulls back the curtain on one of genre writing's most influential-yet unknown-figures. In that lost, damned, golden age called the 80s, there was a movie star named Bobby Spector, and a writer named Mr. Sleazoid. Most importantly, there was a man named Bill Landis. This is his story.
