  Following her Oscar nomination, tabloid cover girl Jackie Gold has been offered the role of a lifetime. At the height of her career, her equally famous boyfriend and current People’s “Sexiest Man of the Year” has a proposal of his own. It’s enough to make a pack of bloodthirsty paparazzi push her over the edge. 
  The year is 1999, and Jackie fights for her life while the press and public speculate on everything from whether “Jackie’s Jump!” was a suicide attempt to whether or not her breasts are real. Visitors circle her hospital bed, sharing regrets and spilling secrets when they think she can’t hear from her comatose state. 
  While drama unfolds at her bedside confessional, Jackie’s life replays like a movie in her mind. In a narrative both hilarious and heartbreaking, she recounts her improbable Malibu upbringing, her California coming of age, and the fat-free, drug-fueled, “glamorous” Hollywood career that led to her notorious jump. 
  Award-winning actor and director Dinah Manoff offers an honest, fictional glimpse behind the red carpet in her new novel about a Hollywood star, the remarkable journey that got her there, and her walk-in closet full of tabloid-worthy secrets. Best known for her roles in Grease and Empty Nest, Dinah Manoff has used her own experiences to craft an engrossing story both exciting and wise, posing the ultimate starry-eyed question: Does fame really matter in the end? 
  Performed by a full cast.

  "Frankenstein" by Mary Shelley, published in 1818, is a landmark Gothic novel that explores themes of ambition, creation, responsibility, and the consequences of playing God. Victor Frankenstein, a young man from Geneva, grows up in a loving and supportive family. He is deeply interested in science and becomes obsessed with understanding the secrets of life. After studying at the University of Ingolstadt, Victor discovers the method for creating life and becomes consumed with the idea of building a living being. However, when he finally brings the creature to life, he is horrified by its monstrous appearance. Overwhelmed by fear and disgust, Victor abandons the creature and flees, leaving it to fend for itself. Victor's ambition leads to his downfall, and the novel explores the consequences of overreaching human limits. The novel raises questions about the inherent nature of beings and whether the creature was born evil or became that way due to its treatment by society. The quest for forbidden knowledge and the consequences of scientific hubris are central to the narrative. In our times of Artificial Intelligence, the theme is of striking actuality.

  The Small Bears

  The Small Bears by Gene L. Henderson - The aliens looked cute as Koalas. But there was a little matter of a graveyard of dead space-ships. 
  Billowy white clouds hid the entire surface of the mystery planet and the space-cruiser cautiously searched, seeking an opening. A wind disturbance momentarily split the misty blanket and like an arrow the ship darted through. 
  The sudden movement had caught some of the men unprepared and Dr. Dick Boyette hurried past fully-manned battle stations to answer a call from the control-room. It required but a couple of minutes to revive a technician who had stumbled into a panel and afterward Boyette stood in the background, watching. 
  Everywhere, as far as the eye could see, the terrain was dotted by patches of woods and green meadows. The perpetual cloud blanket was two miles high, thin enough so that it barely diffused the sunlight. Enough, Boyette thought, so that the planet would have been a mystery even without the disappearance of all ships that had visited it. 
  "No sign of life," growled Commander Kellews, breaking the silence. 
  "I don't like it," the gunnery officer added uneasily. "There must be life or what could have happened to all the other ships that vanished here?" 
  "That's what we're here to find out," said Commander Kellews. He gazed around with a fighting man's pride in the finest weapons that Earth science had been able to devise. This one ship itself could destroy the entire planet that lay so peacefully beneath them. 
  As Boyette knew, the mystery planet was necessary for further expansion from the solar system, lying as it did between their system and the nearest one. Yet, it had swallowed all ships that had landed. 
  "Look!" shouted the lookout, "that plateau's covered with ships."

  It’s not gay to admire another guy’s physique…right? 
  “Go ahead, bro—it’s ok to touch.” 
  I extend my hands, resting my palms atop his hard, golden-tan pecs. My fingertips glide over his sunbaked hide as I stare in awe at the flawless curvature. There’s something about touching another guy’s chest that feels incredibly emasculating…but it also feels good? I don’t understand… 
  He says he’ll help me get fit if I follow his instructions, but lately, that’s meant giving him a lot of money. I’ve been obeying though. I can’t explain why, but it just feels like the right thing to do. 
  We’ve even been doing his “special” exercises every day after the gym. I was hesitant at first, but he assures me it gets the blood flowing and promotes muscle growth. 
  He’s just trying to help me improve myself… 
  …right?
