Hey you guys, it's Leslie. I'm excited to share my story with you.

Now, I'm gonna be honest: Some of the details might be vague because a b*tch is fifty-five and she's smoked a ton of weed. But while bits might be a touch hazy, I can promise you the underlying truth is REAL. Whether I'm talking about my childhood growing up in the South, my early stand-up days driving from gig to gig through the darkest parts of our country and praying I wouldn't get murdered, what Chris Rock told Lorne Michaels, that time I wanted to shoot Whoopi Goldberg on SNL, and yeah, I'll tell you all about Ghostbusters and the nudes and Supermarket Sweep and The Daily Show . . . I'm sharing it all in these pages. It's not easy being a woman in comedy, especially when you're a tall-*ss Black woman with a trumpet voice. I have to fight so that no one takes me for granted, and no one takes advantage. These are the stories that explain why. (Cue the Law & Order theme.)

Newly reimagined edition of Alex Webb's now-classic and long out-of-print Dislocations

Dislocations presents a contemporary update of Alex Webb's long out-of-print and highly sought title, first published in 1998 as an experiment in alternative book making. This newly reimagined edition brings together pictures from the many disparate locations over Webb's oeuvre, meditating on the act of photography as a form of dislocation in itself.

Webb returned to the idea of dislocation during the pandemic, looking at images produced in the twenty years since the original publication--as well as looking back at that first edition. Dislocations expands a prized limited edition with unpublished images that speak to today's sense of displacement. As a series of pictures that would have been impossible to create in a world dominated by closed borders and disrupted travel, it continues to resonate as the world resets.

Totally original and utterly compelling, with a voice all of its own, this is the outstanding new thriller from the no.1 internationally bestselling author of The Silent Patient, Alex Michaelides.

"A proper, grown-up thriller that exudes class from every page... A very special book" JANICE HALLETT

'There were seven of us in all, trapped on the island.One of us was a murderer . . .'
On a small private Greek island, former movie star Lana Farrar - an old friend - invites a select group of us to stay.
It'll be hot, sunny, perfect. A chance to relax and reconnect - and maybe for a few hidden truths to come out.
Because nothing on this island is quite what it seems.
Not Lana. Not her guests.

But who am I?
My name is Elliot Chase, and I'm going to tell you a story unlike any you've ever heard.

-----

Six friends gather at a country house for a birthday weekend. They decide to play a game.

All six names go in a hat. Choose two, and imagine one murdering the other.

Write it down. Type it up. Read it out.

Points are given for making the murders sound convincing.

Of course, when given such a task, it's only natural to use what you know.

Secrets. Grudges. Affairs.

So with each fictional murder, someone gets a motive for a real one.

Toy Story meets Traction Man Is Here! in this picture book that offers a fresh spin on a universal premise: the secret action-adventure story of a toy.

When Red, a game piece, is accidentally left out of the game box, nothing--not a hungry robot nor ferocious Lady Flufferton--will stop Red from reaching home.

The unthinkable has happened! Red is alone on the living room floor, far from the safety of the game closet and best pal, Yellow. After almost being devoured by a ravenous robot (a.k.a. the vacuum cleaner), Red embarks on the dangerous journey home. There will be perils--a transparent cliffside to climb, hanging forests to conquer, and the beastly Lady Flufferton (a.k.a. the family dog) to escape. And there will be setbacks--as when Red is found and carelessly tossed into the junk drawer. But in this action-packed, humorous story, Red learns from mistakes and discovers that with perseverance and resourcefulness nothing is impossible.

There are rules for murder mysteries. There must be a victim. A suspect. A detective.

Grant McAllister, an author of crime fiction and professor of mathematics, once sat down and worked them all out publishing seven perfect detective stories to demonstrate the rules of murder. But that was thirty years ago. Now he's living a life of seclusion on a quiet Mediterranean island - until Julia Hart, a sharp, ambitious editor, knocks on his door. His early work is being republished and together the two of them must revisit those old stories. An author, hiding from his past, and an editor, keen to understand it.

But as she reads the stories, Julia is unsettled to realize that there are parts that don't make sense. Intricate clues that seem to reference a real murder. One that's remained unsolved for thirty years...

If Julia wants answers, she must triumph in a battle of wits with a dangerously clever adversary. Alex Pavesi's The Eighth Detective is a love letter to classic detective stories with a modern twist, where nothing is as it seems, and proof that the best mysteries break all the rules.

A Pitchfork Best Book of 2024
A Saveur Best Narrative Food Book of 2024

In this unique and deeply thoughtful collection, musician Alex Bleeker (Real Estate) and food and travel journalist Luke Pyenson (formerly of Frankie Cosmos) take readers on tour with a diverse lineup of inspiring indie musicians from around the world, sharing meals and travel experiences, peeking behind the curtain at this singular and singularly misunderstood way of life.

Through original essays and engaging conversations with dozens of indie musicians representing several subgenres, scenes, and eras, food takes center stage in stories about being on tour and eating on tour and how this basic human necessity can create a sense of community and interconnectedness in one of the most mobile industries in the world. Based broadly on the subject of eating on tour, these entries each spin off into their own focused and exciting behind-the-scenes story, but all confirm what Pyenson and Bleeker suspected all along--food looms large in the lives of touring musicians, and it can be used as a gateway into understanding what going on tour is really like.

Featured contributors include:

• Robin Pecknold (Fleet Foxes)
• Chris Frantz (Talking Heads)
• Natalie Mering (Weyes Blood)
• Mark Ibold (Pavement)
• John Gourley (Portugal. The Man)
• Lily Chait (touring chef to boygenius and Phoebe Bridgers)
• Amelia Meath (Sylvan Esso)
• Greta Kline (Frankie Cosmos)
• Devendra Banhart
• Bob Mould (Hüsker Dü)
• Brian "Geologist" Weitz (Animal Collective)
• Dawn Richard
• Sasami Ashworth (SASAMI)
• Sadie Dupuis (Speedy Ortiz)
• The Beths

In addition to wide-angle meditations about eating on tour, Pyenson and Bleeker have gathered stories that take place on five continents, in private homes and street-side stalls, in temples of fine dining and in actual temples, backstage and in the van, early morning and late at night. Stories that deal with the best parts of touring: meaningful cultural exchange, hospitality-induced euphoria, and the opportunity to build relationships around the world. And the worst: loneliness, exhaustion, estrangement from family and friends, struggles with disordered eating, and unsteady access to medical care.

So the question isn't, "How was tour?" It's, "What do you eat on tour?" Like the best songs or meals, these conversations and essays evoke something central about the human experience. They show us all the ways that music and food bring us together, break us down, lift us up, and add color to our lives.

NOTABLE AUTHORS: With over twenty years of experience in the music industry, Alex Bleeker and Luke Pyenson are your perfect guides into the world of touring. Having toured with their own bands--Real Estate and Frankie Cosmos, respectively--they're asking all the right questions, shedding light and understanding on the lives of touring musicians and the people feeding them.

FOOD ANTHOLOGY & MUSIC SCENE DEEP CUT: With interviews and essays from about forty different musicians, chefs, and promoters--ranging from Chris Frantz from Talking Heads to boygenius's private chef Lily Chait--not only is this book a treasure trove of knowledge and insider information, it also offers something for foodies and music enthusiasts alike.

ARMCHAIR TRAVEL: Go behind the curtain all around the world, from America to Russia, Japan to Italy, and dozens of places in between. Read about your favorite musicians' experiences abroad, all from the comfort of your home.

Perfect for:

• Musicians and fans of indie music
• Foodies, chefs, restaurant owners, and home cooks
• Anyone interested in the music business
• Travel enthusiasts
• Readers who enjoyed Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner, Our Band Could Be Your Life by Michael Azerrad, and Mixtape Potluck Cookbook by Questlove

Thirteen stories of monsters, murder, and mayhem from a master of horror, the New York Times-bestselling author of I Was a Teenage Slasher.

Stephen Graham Jones takes familiar horror tropes--zombies, camping mishaps, damaged children--and intertwines them with the dark forces of human nature to create unique and unforgettable short fiction. These thirteen tales run the gamut, immersing you in worlds you think you've seen before, but with outcomes you'll never see coming.

In "Father, Son, Holy Rabbit," a dad and his child are lost in a snowstorm and learn what the true cost of survival is. A snake-oil salesman makes his way across Arizona territory, peddling his wares to unsuspecting customers--and leaving ghost towns in his wake--in "Lonegan's Luck." While in "Raphael," four twelve-year-old outcasts, seemingly invisible to everyone around them, make up a "scare" club, pushing themselves further and further into the unthinkable.

As Laird Barron says in his introduction, "The Ones Who Got Away is a slippery collection; it resists and gnaws at the bonds of genre, yet may be the most pure horror book I've come across."

Jump in and hold on for your life . . .

"The twisty endings, villainous characters, and truly shocking scenarios make several of these disturbing stories truly unforgettable." --Publishers Weekly

"Readers looking for horror can't go wrong with Stephen Graham Jones and diving into these thirteen collected short stories is the perfect way to countdown to Halloween night." --Bookish

"The Ones Who Got Away is the perfect showcase for [Jones's] wide-array of literary acrobatics." --Dark Scribe Magazine

Are You Following Someone Else's Dream?
Or Is It Finally Time to Start Building Your Own?

In a world where anxiety, burnout, and uncertainty define the transition from school to adulthood, it's no wonder so many young people feel lost. With the pressure to 'succeed' building before we've even defined what success truly means to us, the path forward can feel like walking a tightrope without a safety net.

Combining personal reflection with research-informed insight, What to Do if You Don't Know What to Do is an exploration into why so many people feel lost in the modern-day workplace-and offers a perspective shifting framework for reclaiming a stronger sense of self and direction.

Drawn from personal experience, deep reflection, and timeless wisdom, this guide is for the daydreamers, the late bloomers, and the eternally restless. Whether you read cover-to-cover or one section at a time, this is a practical guide for anyone seeking to move forward with intention.

Read it in bites. Reflect deeply. Come back often.

Blaming, shaming and flimsy evidence: welcome to the ugly world of Good Mother myths

When Alex Bollen had her first baby, the fear of being a bad mother made her guilty and anxious. A researcher with twenty years' experience, she went looking for answers. To her surprise the studies she looked at were exaggerated and misrepresented in the media, forming the foundation for what she calls Good Mother myths. These myths are an assortment of narratives, ideologies and stereotypes, deployed to censure mothers and blame them for every societal ill.

Incensed by the way bad science is used to shame mothers, Alex Bollen decided to set the record straight. With meticulous research and keen insight, Motherdom exposes both the shaky science and unjustified prescriptions about how mothers should 'naturally' behave. Competing visions of birth - 'natural' versus 'medical' - mean women can be criticised whatever happens, raising the odds that birth will be a damaging, even deadly, experience. Mothers are judged and belittled whether they breast- or bottle-feed their babies. Bogus claims about brain development and dodgy attachment theories mean that whatever mothers do, it is never enough.

This has to stop. We must replace Good Mother myths with a realistic approach to parenting. Alex Bollen proposes 'motherdom', a more expansive conception of motherhood, which values and respects the different ways people raise their children. Instead of finding fault with mothers, Motherdom shifts our focus to the relationships and resources children need to flourish.

From the Author of the Record-Breaking $100M Series (OVER 5,000,000 Copies Sold in the series)

This isn't a book. It's a collection of chapters containing proven tactics I withheld from the $100M Series because they were "too advanced," "too niche," or "too much math."

Translation: They work too well for specific situations.

What's Inside The Vault:

Advanced Money Math of Acquisition - The math chapter everyone was too scared to read. Shows exactly how cash flowed my growth at scale across multiple companies using my customers to finance the growth (legally).

Advanced Offer Stacking - Money models that were "too complicated" for the main book. 7 more deadly effective Money Models you can tear out and instantly use in your business to get more customers, make more from them, faster.

The Expanded Employee Chapter - Twice the length of the original. How to turn employees into lead-getting machines using the 3Ds system (Document, Demonstrate, Duplicate) and the Performance Diamond diagnostic that actually works.

Who This Is For:

• You've read the $100M books and want to go deeper
• You're making money but know you're leaving cash on the table
• You like understanding WHY things work, not just copying tactics

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

In this intimate and open account--nothing like any rock-and-roll memoir you've ever read--Alex Van Halen shares his personal story of family, friendship, music and brotherly love in a remarkable tribute to his beloved brother and band mate.

Told with acclaimed New Yorker writer Ariel Levy Brothers is seventy-year-old drummer Alex Van Halen's love letter to his younger brother, Edward, (Maybe "Ed," but never "Eddie"), written while still mourning his untimely death.

In his rough yet sweet voice, Alex recounts the brothers' childhood, first in the Netherlands and then in working class Pasadena, California, with an itinerant musician father and a very proper Indonesian-born mother--the kind of mom who admonished her boys to "always wear a suit" no matter how famous they became--a woman who was both proud and practical, nonchalant about taking a doggie bag from a star-studded dinner. He also shares tales of musical politics, infighting, and plenty of bad-boy behavior. But mostly his is a story of brotherhood, music, and enduring love.

"I was with him from day one," Alex writes. "We shared the experience of coming to this country and figuring out how to fit in. We shared a record player, an 800 square foot house, a mom and dad, and a work ethic. Later, we shared the back of a tour bus, alcoholism, the experience of becoming successful, of becoming fathers and uncles, and of spending more hours in the studio than I've spent doing anything else in this life. We shared a depth of understanding that most people can only hope to achieve in a lifetime."

There has never been an accurate account of them or the band, and Alex wants to set the record straight on Edward's life and death.

Brothers includes never-before-seen photos from the author's private archives.

From scorching deserts to frozen seabeds, from the highest peaks of the Himalaya to the hadal depths of the oceans, there are habitats on this Earth that appear hostile to life--yet where, nevertheless, life flourishes. In North American forests, wood frogs awaken each spring from solid blocks of ice. Under the Saharan sun, shielded by silvery hairs, desert ants sprint through the midday heat that is lethal to any other animal. At the bottom of ice-covered lakes, painted turtles pass months without breathing oxygen. Transporting readers to far-flung environments we could never call home, in Super Natural, award-winning science writer Alex Riley paints an awe-inspiring portrait of life's remarkable resilience even under the harshest circumstances.

Riley illuminates ecosystems on every continent to tell the stories of creatures exquisitely adapted to endure unimaginable deprivations--of water, oxygen, food, sunlight--and extremes of heat and cold, of pressure and altitude. To survive half a year without food on barren islands, snakes will shrink and regrow their digestive systems--even their hearts. At the site of the Chernobyl disaster, fungi harness radiation to thrive. Evolution, we see, can and will carve out a niche just about anywhere.

Super Natural shows us how, at nature's furthest limits, the rules of biology as we know them are rewritten--and how, in life's astonishing ingenuity and persistence even in the face of calamity and change, we can find hope for the future of life on Earth.

'I'll never understand the fucking Army.'

Prew won't conform. He could have been the best boxer and the best bugler in his division, but he chooses the life of a straight soldier in Hawaii under the fierce tutelage of Sergeant Milt Warden. When he refuses to box for his company for mysterious reasons, he is given 'The Treatment', a relentless campaign of physical and mental abuse. Meanwhile, Warden wages his own campaign against authority by seducing the Captain's wife Karen - just because he can. Both men are bound to the Army, even though it may destroy them.

Published here in its uncensored, original version, From Here to Eternity is a raw, electrifying account of the soldier's life in the months leading up to Pearl Harbor-of men who are trained to fight the enemy, but cannot resist fighting each other.

A legal case over ownership in 2017 tipped him over the edge of the cliff into alcoholism, triggering years of mental health issues until, aged 34, he was diagnosed with ADHD.

Now it all makes sense.

In his chart-topping podcast, ADHD Chatter, Alex has spoken to dozens of experts on ADHD and related conditions in a bid to understand and improve outcomes for the neurodiverse population - and this groundbreaking book brings them all together, for the first time, in one place.

A blend of lived experience and expert insight, this deep dive into ADHD has the power to change your life. If you've ever wondered why you can't remember those critical appointments, how you can be hyper-focused one minute and down a YouTube rabbit-hole 30 seconds later, or why do people walk so slowly? then this relatable and unashamedly honest book is for you.

Written with Alex's trademark raw vulnerability, Now It All Makes Sense distils the essence of all the most important need-to-knows, from parenting with (and for) ADHD, to managing your mental health, your finances and even your shopping list. Most importantly it celebrates the opportunities and strengths, unique skillsets and positive traits of ADHD to remind you that you are NOT broken - and you are enough.

In the first authoritative biography of Alexander the Great written for a general audience in a generation, classicist and historian Philip Freeman tells the remarkable life of the great conqueror.

The celebrated Macedonian king has been one of the most enduring figures in history. He was a general of such skill and renown that for two thousand years other great leaders studied his strategy and tactics, from Hannibal to Napoleon, with countless more in between. He flashed across the sky of history like a comet, glowing brightly and burning out quickly: crowned at age nineteen, dead by thirty-two. He established the greatest empire of the ancient world; Greek coins and statues are found as far east as Afghanistan. Our interest in him has never faded.

Alexander was born into the royal family of Macedonia, the kingdom that would soon rule over Greece. Tutored as a boy by Aristotle, Alexander had an inquisitive mind that would serve him well when he faced formidable obstacles during his military campaigns. Shortly after taking command of the army, he launched an invasion of the Persian empire, and continued his conquests as far south as the deserts of Egypt and as far east as the mountains of present-day Pakistan and the plains of India. Alexander spent nearly all his adult life away from his homeland, and he and his men helped spread the Greek language throughout western Asia, where it would become the lingua franca of the ancient world. Within a short time after Alexander's death in Baghdad, his empire began to fracture. Best known among his successors are the Ptolemies of Egypt, whose empire lasted until Cleopatra.

In his lively and authoritative biography of Alexander, classical scholar and historian Philip Freeman describes Alexander's astonishing achievements and provides insight into the mercurial character of the great conqueror. Alexander could be petty and magnanimous, cruel and merciful, impulsive and farsighted. Above all, he was ferociously, intensely competitive and could not tolerate losing--which he rarely did. As Freeman explains, without Alexander, the influence of Greece on the ancient world would surely not have been as great as it was, even if his motivation was not to spread Greek culture for beneficial purposes but instead to unify his empire. Only a handful of people have influenced history as Alexander did, which is why he continues to fascinate us.
