They come in many forms: charming and seductive; ghastly and terrible. Join us as we explore a number of classic yarns concerning the various guises of the vampire, from Aleksey Tolstoy’s horrifying description of a vampiric family to Robert E. Howard’s tale of a creature loosed from bondage after having been buried for over three centuries. Thank the gods these creatures are fictitious…aren’t they?

From wireless energy to earthquake machines, from communing with pigeons to decoding the structure of reality itself—Tesla wasn’t a man of his time. He was tuned to something else.

Everyone knows Einstein. The hair. The tongue. The equation. But who was the man behind the myth? This isn’t a physics textbook. It’s a human story — of a boy who asked strange questions, a thinker who bent time, and a refugee who watched the world weaponize his mind. Told in plain language with wit and clarity, Einstein: The Man Who Asked Why follows the journey of the quiet clockmaker’s son who reimagined space, challenged war, rejected authority, and spent his final days chasing an unfinished theory.

They churn butter by hand, shun electricity, and ride in buggies — but is that the whole story? In a world obsessed with progress, the Amish chose pause.

From Rumspringa rites of passage to the silent power of tradition, this book traces the line between devotion and control, community and conformity, faith and fear.

You’ll meet the man who started it, the machine that runs it, and the people trying to survive it.

He wasn’t just famous. He was mythic. Michael Jackson lived in the spotlight but never stepped fully into the world. From child prodigy to cultural phenomenon, his life was one of performance, projection, and impossible expectations. This isn’t a tribute. It’s not a takedown. It’s the story of a boy who flew too far, gave too much, and never really landed. A mirror. A myth. A man the world never truly saw.

So we drank the Diet Coke. Bought the zero sugar snacks. Trusted the label. What if the label was the problem? The Sweet Lie pulls back the curtain on the illusion of "healthy" sweetness — tracing the rise of artificial sweeteners, the cultural brainwashing of diet products, and the subtle, billion-dollar system built to keep us coming back for more. This isn’t just about what’s in your drink. It’s about how that drink became normal.

Julius Caesar was not just a general. He was not just a dictator. He was the rupture point between republic and empire, between mortal and myth. This is not a dry biography.

We all learned the story. Now it’s time to hear what actually happened. 1776: The Revolution is a piercing, unfiltered journey into the founding of the United States. What really happened in the meeting rooms, the battlefields, and the parchment scrolls of the so-called land of the free? What was written in ink—and what was left out by design? This is a time capsule. A mirror. A warning label. Because the revolution never ended. We just stopped asking who it was for.

We laughed at the rat who cooked. We cried when the old man floated away with his house. We felt weird things when a red panda exploded out of a teenage girl. But somehow, through all the animated chaos, these movies ended up saying something real. This book is a collection of short, heartfelt reflections on Pixar’s biggest hits — from Inside Out to Ratatouille, The Incredibles to Soul. It’s not a film analysis. It’s not a self-help book.
