Burned alive and reborn worse: a predator who slips past locks, laws and every last stitch of waking safety. Freddy Krueger lives in the one place you cannot bolt—sleep—and he comes with a bladed glove, a laugh like broken glass, and a talent for turning private fear into fatal geometry. You can beat him only by waking; you cannot stay awake forever. Freddy Krueger: Dreamkiller is part case file, part field guide, part myth—an anatomy of a nightmare and the small, brutal rules that make dreams lethal. Read survivor testimonies, forensic scraps (a charred glove, a nursery rhyme), lucid...

She is a weight, not a face: something that settles between heartbeat and breath and will not be shrugged off. The Night Hag: Terror in Sleep follows that pressure around the world — from Scandinavia’s mare to Japan’s kanashibari, Turkey’s karabasan to Newfoundland’s Old Hag — and asks why a universal physiological limbo became a rider, a witch, a demon, and sometimes a crime. Part detective work, part folklore, part bedside neuroscience, this book moves from sharpened tales and archival finds to the labs and temples that try to explain them. Expect bruises that people read as ...

Reach for the cloud and expect a rope burn: it's not mist, it's metal. The Cloud Isn’t in the Sky pulls back the curtain on racks of servers, humming warehouses, and the clever plumbing that moves your photos, videos, and homework across the planet. No jargon, no hype—just clear analogies, quick experiments you can try, and crisp explanations that make buffering, backups, and "where my data lives" click. Written for curious teens and adults, this book turns the intimidating into the everyday. You’ll learn why streaming hiccups happen, how data is copied and protected, and what ...

Robots aren’t coming—they’re already here, quietly stacking cars, sweeping kitchens, delivering packages, and assisting surgeons. Robots Among Us strips away the shiny hype and shows, in plain language and sharp examples, how real robots work (sensors, motors, software), what tasks they actually do well, where they fail, and why those limits matter for jobs, safety, and daily life. You’ll get clear, classroom-ready explanations and no-nonsense reality checks—factory arms vs. Roombas, teleoperated surgery, warehouse fleets, and the privacy trade-offs in smart homes. Read this to ...

A tailored suit over a predator’s heart: Hannibal Lecter as refinement weaponized. He is a man who “eats the rude,” who turns grief into ritual and courtesy into camouflage. This is not a catalog of crimes but a forensic study of taste—how a cultivated mind learns to curate pain, build a memory palace, and make violence an aesthetic. From Mischa’s ruined streets to Baltimore parlors and Florentine galleries, the book follows the slow, surgical education of a monster who prefers dinner conversation to confession. Witty, razor-sharp, and uncomfortably civil, it asks why civility can...

He is hunger given thought — an ancient psychic predator that does not lurk under beds but lives where flesh cannot go: the mind. The Shadow King slips into people like gloves, wears charisma as a mask, and turns private wishes into public chains. This is not a ghost story; it is a forensic map of appetite: origin myths and early hosts, the doorway opened by Amahl Farouk, the ideological collision with Charles Xavier, and the quiet mechanics the parasite uses to make whole lives yield without a scream. Sharp, spare, and unsettling, The Shadow King: Sovereign of Darkness reads like ...

He sets a table in a world that remembers how to count losses. In a town hollowed by famine, a feast appears on a stump—and an iron rule follows it: do not wake him, do not look. The Pale Man has an eyeless face and lifts living eyes from the hollows of his palms; he hunts by temptation, swallowing children whole and leaving only shoes as punctuation. Slowness is his strategy, appetite his law. A small, ragged coalition—parents who barter favors for bread, a reluctant guardian, a child who sees too clearly—must decide what hunger asks of them. JD Arden threads folklore and moral ...

What does your phone actually ride on when you stream, text, or tap to pay? The Signal That Rules Us pulls back the curtain on the invisible empire of Wi‑Fi, 5G and satellites, showing how radio waves are generated, routed and regulated — and why they sometimes drop, slow or disappear. Clear, spare explanations and sharp metaphors turn electromagnetic theory into practical sense: think of bands as lanes, routers as toll booths, and satellites as long, slow conveyor belts across the sky. You’ll learn how home networks and cell towers really work, how to read coverage maps, basic ...

We’re told that real cures come in bottles and blister packs, prescribed by white coats with years of training. But what if the most powerful medicine is nothing at all—just a sugar pill and a whisper of hope? In Placebo: When Nothing Works, JD Arden peels back the curtain on one of science’s strangest, most astonishing phenomena: the placebo effect. Why do some people get better after taking “fake” pills, undergoing sham surgeries, or hearing soothing words from someone they trust? Is healing just in our heads, or is the mind the secret master switch for the whole body? From ...

The future isn’t a lab coat or a press release — it’s the little plastic thing on your desk, the speaker in your hallway, and the phone in your pocket. This brisk, witty guide shows how everyday devices collect data, make decisions, and change how we live: from smart homes and voice assistants to self-driving cars, 3D printing, and AR. Readable examples, clear plumbing diagrams (sensors → data → networks → models → actions), and a few myth-busters keep the tech real and useful, not mystical. You’ll leave able to spot where power and risk hide in plain sight, run simple tests...

He lived in lightning—brilliant, eccentric, often misunderstood. From a Croatian farm to Manhattan’s electric glow, Nikola Tesla carried visions so audacious they read like prophecy: wireless power, radio waves, machines that felt like magic. This is the story of a mind that lit the modern world and the ruthless currents that tried to drown it out. Sharp, unsentimental, and fast-paced, JD Arden cuts through myth to reveal the human logic behind invention: the equations, the obsessions, and the theater. The War of Currents—AC versus DC—becomes more than a technical quarrel; it’s a ...

Who decides what counts as true on the internet? Search Engines and the Gatekeepers of Truth pulls back the curtain on the tiny army of crawlers, the giant indexes, and the ranking rules that turn billions of pages into the single list most people trust. Clear, concise, and a little bit sly, it explains crawling, indexing, ranking, and the ad-driven forces that make “page one” feel like fact. Read this to learn how results are found, why some sites dominate, how ads and optimization bend what you see, and how to spot manipulation and misinformation. Technical without tech-speak and full...

Every swipe is a tiny command. Every recommendation is a nudge. The Algorithm Is Watching pulls the curtain on the tech that decides what you see, buy, and believe—without turning it into mystical code. JD Arden uses plain metaphors, sharp examples, and classroom-ready demos to show how algorithms are built, fed, and tuned—and why that matters for fairness, privacy, and everyday choice. Readable for curious teens and adults, this book explains recommendation engines, risk scores, social feeds, and where they go wrong—fast. More important: it gives practical moves you can use now (...

“If a lion could talk, we could not understand him.” Imagine that, sharpened, and no larger than your thumb. I do not chase. I wait—head turning twice, sight folding the world into distances you don't see, forelegs cocked not as limbs but as death's trigger. Heat and shadow choose when I move; hunger is a ledger, not a grief. If I could speak, I'd hand you a different grammar of being: precise, impatient, economical. This is my translation. A first‑person mantis narrates vision, strike, thermals, hunger, and the grim bookkeeping that makes cannibalism a practical choice. Natural ...

On a raw October morning in 1517 a professor slid inked propositions into an archbishop’s hand—and the humming presses of northern Europe did the rest. What began as a procedural disputation became public argument: shorthand slogans in taverns, printed broadsides in market squares, and a moral question that threatened money, office, and conscience. The Day of the Theses follows that sliver of time when a scholar’s provocation met an information network hungry for controversy. Witty, incisive, and sharply reported, JD Arden tracks the mechanics as much as the motives—printing houses ...

On a single July day in 1969, a cramped machine, three men, and a tangle of decisions were asked to do something the world had only dared imagine. The Day of the Moon Landing looks past the postcard—beyond the boot print and the famous line—to the alarms, the arguments, and the tiny improvisations that turned rivalry into a shared, televised miracle. It’s an hour-by-hour, sometimes wry close-up of how teams made impossible choices and how spectacle and procedure braided into meaning. JD Arden follows the descent from mission control to the ladder, tracing the practical work (guidance ...
