Silent Night Bloody Night - The Christmas Eve Massacre

Sophia Patel

Sinopse

From the haunting true events... comes a story of terror, survival, and the unspeakable things that refuse to stay dead.

Some escaped. Some didn’t. But none were ever truly free

Every door they opened led to a darker nightmare. Every answer they found raised new, horrifying questions. 

It’s not the house. It’s what’s in it...

There are places where the past refuses to die. Shadows that cling to the walls. Whispers that drift through the trees. Some secrets... are buried in the Snow. 

What begins as an ordinary winter’s night unravels into a web of violence, fear, and the unexplainable. Families disappear without a trace. Survivors whisper of figures in the snow and unseen forces pulling them into darkness. The community that prided itself on safety and serenity is left to question its very foundation—was this evil always here, waiting?

From the eerie calm before the storm to the blood-curdling final screams, this book will immerse you in a harrowing tale of survival and the sinister forces that linger in the dark. Silent Night, Bloody Night will make you question every creak in the floorboards, every shadow that dances on the wall, and every flake of snow that falls outside your window.
 

Enter if you dare. But beware—what lurks within these pages might never let you go.

*CAUTION: This book contains descriptive accounts of abuse and or violence. If you are especially sensitive to this material, it might be advisable not to read any further

The Golden Needle - The...

Gillian Bickley

Frederick Stewart, born in Buchan, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, was the first headmaster of the HK Govt Central School for Boys (now Queen's College) and second Inspector of Schools. He was considered by contemporaries as the Founder of Hong Kong Government Education. At the Central School, his consistent policy was to educate pupils in Western knowledge, while preserving their Chinese identity, and he insisted on equal time for Chinese and English studies. A career change was forced by the intervention of Governor John Pope Hennessy who wished the teaching of English to be given prominence. Subsequently, Stewart, a modest and unassuming man, popular within Hong Kong and also at the Colonial Office, became Police Magistrate, Registrar General, then Colonial Secretary, acting as Governor of Hong Kong on several occasions. By the end of his life, Stewart’s intimate knowledge of Hong Kong was considered unequalled among non-Chinese in Hong Kong at the time. 
"Dr Bickley's life of Frederick Stewart is beautifully written, eminently readable, and at times moving." — Lady Saltoun. 
"To all intents and purposes, Stewart's life and work was lost to posterity until the publication of this biography — the product of some eight years of devoted research which spanned the globe. The end product is certainly worth the effort. We need more studies of this type if we are to understand fully the complexities of colonial rule. The life stories of men like Stewart highlight both the high and low points of colonial service, the personal sacrifices that were often made and the legacies left behind.[I] thoroughly enjoyed this book." — Clive Whitehead, University of Western Australia, Int. J. of Lifelong Education. 
"Surely few will dispute her contention that Stewart's legacy to modern Hong Kong has become something of enduring value and interest." University of Edinburgh T. J. BARRON

2bits - Fragmented Memories

Tim Welch

2Bits is a raw and deeply personal memoir that explores the fragmented journey of self-discovery, addiction, and resilience. Through a series of interconnected moments, the book delves into the author's struggles with alcohol—not as the central issue, but as a symptom of deeper disconnection, anxiety, and self-doubt. Each chapter presents a "bit" of wisdom gained through hardship, reflecting on the internal battles that fueled destructive patterns and the slow, unsteady process of rebuilding. 
This is not a glorification of addiction or a traditional recovery narrative—it is a deeply introspective look at the complexities of human struggle. The author challenges conventional notions of healing, emphasizing that recovery is not about following a single path but about reclaiming personal strength, authenticity, and purpose. 
For those who have ever questioned their place in the world, wrestled with self-doubt, or sought solace in unhealthy escapes, 2Bits offers an unfiltered glimpse into the process of facing one’s demons and forging a path toward self-acceptance. Bit by bit, it reveals that even the smallest fragments of insight can shape a meaningful journey forward.

Awop Bop Aloo Mop - Little...

Tina Andrews

As much music history as biography, Awop Bop Aloo Mop celebrates "Little" Richard Wayne Penniman, who burst onto the American scene in 1955 with his mega-hit "Tutti Frutti." Almost by himself, Little Richard wrote the anti-rules and poured the concrete for the foundation of a new musical art form he created. Alan Freed would call it "Rock & Roll." Dubbing himself "The Architect of Rock & Roll," Little Richard was known for his wild, flamboyant performances and outrageous costumes. He was one of the first artists to make the androgynous look popular, and his influence could be experienced in the music and performances of Mick Jagger, The Beatles, Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis Presley, James Brown, and David Bowie. But Little Richard also had demons he struggled with throughout his career—his complicated relationship with his sexual orientation, and its effect on his faith. 
 
 
 
He helped solidify The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Billy Preston, and The Beatles as major acts who used his onstage antics for their success. A terrible car crash sidelined Little Richard for months, causing him to miss his own induction into the first Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1986 for his contribution to music. But he later appeared in movies, television shows, and tours, showing everyone why he remains the "Originator, the Innovator, and the Architect of Rock & Roll."

Devil in the Belfry - Another...

Edgar Allan Poe

Edgar Poe was born in Boston Massachusetts on 19th January 1809. His father abandoned his family the following year and within a year his mother had died leaving him an orphan.
He was taken in by the Allan family but never formally adopted although he now referred to himself as Edgar Allan Poe. His father alternatively spoiled or chastised him and tension was frequent over gambling debts and monies for his education. His university years to study ancient and modern languages was cut short by lack of money and he enlisted as a private in the army claiming he was 22, it is more probable he was 18. After 2 years he obtained a discharge in order to take up an appointment at the military academy, West Point, where he failed to become an officer.
Poe had released his 1st poetry volume in 1827 and after his 3rd turned to prose and placing short stories in several magazines and journals. At age 26 he obtained a licence to marry his cousin. She was a mere 13 but they stayed together until her death from tuberculosis 11 years after.
In January 1845 ‘The Raven’ was published and became an instant classic. Thereafter followed the prose works for which he is now so rightly famed as a master of the mysterious and the macabre.
Edgar Allan Poe died at the tragically early age of 40 on 7th October 1849 in Baltimore, Maryland. Newspapers at the time reported Poe's death as ‘congestion of the brain’ or ‘cerebral inflammation’, common euphemisms for death from disreputable causes such as alcoholism but the actual cause of death remains a mystery.

Mafia Boss Sam Giancana - The...

Susan McNicoll

Sent to Reformatory at the age of 10, Sicilian-American Sam Giancana lived a gilded life as mobster and mob boss at a pivotal point in history when the mafia decided who ruled America, who lived and who died. 
 
 
Born in 1908, in The Patch, Chicago, Giancana joined the Forty-Two gang of lawless juvenile punks in 1921 and quickly proved himself as a skilled 'wheel man' (or getaway driver), extortionist and vicious killer. Called up to the ranks of the Outfit, he reputedly held talks with the CIA about assassinating Fidel Castro, shared a girlfriend with John F. Kennedy and had friends in high places, including Sammy Davis Jr., Frank Sinatra, Shirley MacLaine, Marilyn Monroe and, some say, the Kennedys, although he fell out with them. 
 
The story of Sam Giancana will overturn many of your beliefs about America during the Kennedy era. If you want to know Giancana's role in the brother's deaths, and more of the intrigue surrounding that of Marilyn Monroe, this book will fill you in on the murky lives of many shady characters who really ruled the day, both in Chicago and elsewhere.
