  Step into the fog-shrouded streets of 16th-century London. 
  A Haunted Walk Through Tudor London is a 30-minute immersive audio experience that guides listeners through the city as it existed during the Tudor era, from the Tower of London to Smithfield Market, from the witches’ quarter at Bishopsgate to the execution ground at Tyburn, and along the shadowed banks of the River Thames. 
  This is not a ghost story in the modern sense. Instead, it is a historically grounded, atmospheric walk through the places where Tudor Londoners lived, feared, believed, and died, told by candlelight, with subtle sound design and careful attention to historical detail. 
  Along the way, you’ll encounter:The restless spirits of queens and traitors at the Tower of LondonThe vanished bells and bookstalls of old St Paul’sThe fires of faith at Smithfield MarketTudor beliefs about witchcraft, cunning women, and familiar spiritsThe theatres and sins of BanksideThe grim spectacle of Tyburn TreeAnd the river that carried London’s memory, the Thames 
  The walk is narrated by Heather Teysko, host of the long-running Renaissance English History Podcast, the original Tudor history podcast, with millions of downloads worldwide. Heather has been sharing Tudor history since 2009 and is known for bringing the period to life through vivid storytelling, deep research, and an accessible, conversational style. 
  Whether listened to at Halloween or on a quiet winter evening, this audio experience invites you to slow down, imagine the city as the Tudors knew it, and walk through history in a way that feels intimate, reflective, and unforgettable.

  “This engrossing collection of historical Midwest murders reads like a thriller. True crime at its best. I couldn’t put it down.” —Susan Furlong, author of the Bone Gap Travellers novels 
   
  A modern retelling of 20 sensational true crimes, No Place Like Murder reveals the inside details behind nefarious acts that shocked the Midwest between 1869 and 1950. The stories chronicle the misdeeds, examining the perpetrators’ mindsets, motives, lives, apprehensions, and trials, as well as what became of them long after. 
   
  True crime author Janis Thornton profiles notorious murderers such as Frankie Miller, who was fed up when her fiancé stood her up for another woman. As fans of the song “Frankie and Johnny” already know, Frankie met her former lover at the door with a shotgun. 
   
  Thornton’s tales reveal the darker side of life in the Midwest, including the account of Isabelle Messmer, a plucky young woman who dreamed of escaping her quiet farm-town life. After she nearly took down two tough Pittsburgh policemen in 1933, she was dubbed “Gun Girl” and went on to make headlines from coast to coast. In 1942, however, after a murder conviction in Texas, she vowed to do her time and go straight. Full of intrigue and revelations, No Place Like Murder also features such folks as Chirka and Rasico, the first two Hoosier men to die in the electric chair after they brutally murdered their wives in 1913. The two didn’t meet until their fateful last night. 
   
  An enthralling and chilling collection, No Place Like Murder is sure to thrill true crime lovers. 
   
  “Thornton wittily describes heretofore unheralded true crime stories from Indiana’s small towns.” —Keven McQueen, author of Horror in the Heartland

  This book contains the following four titles: 
  - The Cereal Killer: The invention of breakfast cereal marked a turning point in modern eating habits, blending health-conscious innovation with industrial progress. During the late 19th century, many Americans consumed heavy, meat-based breakfasts, which were criticized by health reformers for contributing to widespread digestive issues and lethargy. It was against this backdrop that breakfast cereal was born—a light, convenient, and nutritious alternative that would revolutionize morning meals. 
  - The Millennial Methuselah: The story of the woman destined for a millennium begins in an unassuming town, far removed from the glare of the modern world. Born in an era where tradition met the dawn of technological innovation, her arrival into the world was marked by a profound sense of wonder. Family and friends often recalled the unusual calmness that surrounded her birth, as if the universe had whispered its secrets into her soul. 
  - Perplexing Passings: Unsolved mysteries hold a unique and enduring fascination, inviting us into a world where questions linger and definitive answers seem perpetually out of reach. These enigmas, spanning unexplained deaths, puzzling disappearances, and baffling phenomena, captivate our imagination by defying the order and logic we strive to impose on life. Each unresolved case becomes more than a story; it transforms into a puzzle that teases the intellect and stirs the emotions. 
  - The Unreachable Riches: Throughout history, the allure of hidden treasure has captured the human imagination like few other pursuits. Tales of vast riches buried beneath shifting sands, concealed within uncharted jungles, or locked away in remote mountain fortresses have been passed down through generations.
