In this collection, including two never-before-published essays, Nussbaum writes about her passion for television, beginning with Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the show that set her on a fresh intellectual path.

Story
Chris Bathum was a respected therapist, addiction specialist, and founder of one of the fastest-growing rehabilitation chains in America. But Bathum was a total fraud: he was a homicidal meth-head with a history of sexually abusing his patients, scamming insurance companies, and eliminating whistle-blowers. Like Rose Stahl. But this intended victim would be his last. Stahl would risk her life to bring down the monster she and so many other people in need had once trusted for their salvation.

Story
Growing up on the Navajo Indian Reservation, David Crow and his siblings idolized their dad. Tall, strong, smart, and brave, the self-taught Cherokee regaled his family with stories of his World War II feats. But as time passed, David discovered the other side of Thurston Crow, the ex-con with his own code of ethics that justified cruelty, violence, lies - even murder. A shrewd con artist with a genius IQ, Thurston intimidated David with beatings to coerce him into doing his criminal bidding. David's mom, too mentally ill to care for her children, couldn't protect him.

Story
Celeste Price is an eighth-grade English teacher in suburban Tampa. But Celeste's devotion lies elsewhere. She has a singular sexual obsession: 14-year-old boys. In slaking her sexual thirst, Celeste Price is remorseless and deviously free of hesitation, a monstress driven by pure motivation. She deceives everyone, and cares nothing for anyone or anything but her own pleasure. With crackling, rampantly unadulterated prose, Tampa is a grand, uncompromising, seriocomic examination of want and a scorching literary debut.

In this powerful true crime memoir, an award-winning identity theft expert tells the shocking story of the duplicity and betrayal that inspired her career and nearly destroyed her family. Axton Betz-Hamilton grew up in small-town Indiana in the early '90s. When she was 11 years old, her parents both had their identities stolen. Their credit ratings were ruined, and they were constantly fighting over money. This was before the age of the Internet, when identity theft became more commonplace, so authorities and banks were clueless and reluctant to help Axton's parents.

In the Dream House is Carmen Maria Machado's engrossing and wildly innovative account of a relationship gone bad, and a bold dissection of the mechanisms and cultural representations of psychological abuse. Tracing the full arc of a harrowing relationship with a charismatic but volatile woman, Machado struggles to make sense of how what happened to her shaped the person she was becoming. And it's that struggle that gives the book its original structure: each chapter is driven by its own narrative trope - the haunted house, erotica, the bildungsroman....

Publisher's Summary
At 23, Isa Mazzei was just like any other college graduate: broke, lacking purpose, and searching for an identity. She was also a compulsive seductress with a reputation as a slut and heartbreaker. One day, while working a low-paying retail job, she had a revelation: why not embrace her salacious image and make some money off of it?
She began stripping, dancing, masturbating, playing games, making art - and broadcasting it all online for money as a camgirl. In her first month, she racked up hundreds of nightly viewers, and within a year she ranked in the top 50 girls on a site featuring tens of thousands of performers. Over the course of her career, Isa built her own business, explored BDSM, attended a porn convention, slept with a fan, and pushed herself further than she thought possible. And yet, despite her success, she struggled to fit into the community she so desperately wanted to belong to.
Camgirl is a relatable look at confronting our past traumas and accepting ourselves for who we are. It masterfully explores the complexities of digital life, sexuality, and the tensions between our private and public selves. Mazzei's biting humor and raw vulnerability ensure you'll never think about sex work - or sex - the same way again.

The subject matter of the book made it an automatic page turner. Isa is sooo authenticly herself in this book and humanizes topics that are typically awkward or just boorishly comic.

Small sound editing issues
This book has inspired me to write a novel. one of the thing that gets brought out or did you brought up for me. Is that even though you can do camming as an artistic Endeavor in the Foley consenting and I haven't seen your job and have it be straight-up legitimate. culturally any sex work it's so looked down upon but no one would get into it without underlying trauma. the author made a bold choice to be super unsympathetic. and personally I think her editors did her a disservice. at the end of the book she explained that choice, i think it came from overestimating her readers. There was a lot of show don't tell, and I was in need of some thoughtful after the fact introspection throughout. This book was accurate and captured my experience. I am 5 star glad it exists.

Introspective, mature and honest look at the world of camming and the people who share these interesting communities that seem as individual as the women who host them. Isa is strong and vulnerable and willing to share insights that most would not. Excellent book.

Isa's book resonates with me in so many ways. The 9.5 hours of audio flew by and threw me through an enormous spectrum of emotions. She does a great job narrating the book, and I find it especially interesting to hear an author narrate her own story. I highly recommend.

Scarily relatable
I really enjoyed it, on some fronts it made me cry with how I related and how deep into my fears and experiences it went into. On the other hand she had her own story that brought me in reacting to everything as if I was in her shoes or next to her. It’s enjoyable to the modern person looking for a story of self discovery with a bit of sexual discovery of desire but also a bit of trauma and accepting it. I’m so glad I picked up this book. It always made me want to read more and it never bored me. I loved it. Being 16 almost 17, I was completely into this book. I wish I picked it up sooner.
