For a young man newly arrived in Berlin, a chance encounter with a mysterious Lebanese singer offers the excitement he craves. But after just one intoxicating date she disappears. Undeterred, he tries to track her down – a search that draws him into the city’s alternative scene, an exotic world of communes, artist collectives, politicised flash mobs, transvestite cabaret acts and shisha dens.Instead of him finding her, she finds him and a faltering relationship begins – but with it comes a startling revelation. And when those close to her start to die or disappear, he realises that her love might come at a terrible cost. This narrative dovetails with two unearthed voices from the city’s past. One is presented in a series of letters written twenty years ago by an East German border guard to his lover on the other side of the Wall. The second is in the form of diary entries written by a teenage girl, soon after the fall of Nazi Berlin, living in daily fear of discovery by Soviet troops wreaking revenge on the city.The Killing Strip paints a vivid portrait of a city and the disparate people who inhabit it, while exploring the notions of love, sacrifice, freedom and the walls that exist inside us all.

An investigative journalist’s true crime account of the murder of the gambling executive and the trial of his accused girlfriend and her new boyfriend. The reckless heir to the Horseshoe Club fortune, fifty-five-year-old Vegas casino boss Ted Binion lived the high life constantly teetering on the edge—surrounding himself with guns, heroin, cash, babes and mobsters. But it was a beautiful ex-stripper and her new lover who gave him the final, fatal push over the side. The gripping true story of the fall of a powerful man that culminated in the most publicized murder in Las Vegas history—an almost perfect crime undone by the unbelievable greed of its perpetrators—Jeff German’s Murder in Sin City is a stunning account of human deterioration and depravity, a neon-tinged view of the poisonous rot that festers beneath the Vegas glitter. Now a Lifetime original movie, Sex and Lies in Sin City.

A savage journey into the heart of Hunter S. Thompson's Las Vegas with the Good Doctor as tour guide. A Lord-of-the-Rings-like adventure in the city's underground flood channels. A seven-day stay at a seedy motel on East Fremont Street. The stories in My Week at the Blue Angel aren't about Steve Wynn, Cirque du Soleil, or how to play poker, and they aren't set in Caesars Palace, XS Nightclub, or a 2,000-seat showroom. They're about prostitutes, ex-cons, and the homeless, and they're set under Caesars Palace and in trailer parks and weekly motels. In this creative nonfiction collection, Matthew O'Brien--author of Beneath the Neon: Life and Death in the Tunnels of Las Vegas--and veteran photographer Bill Hughes show a side of the city rarely seen. A side beyond the neon lights, themed facades, and motel-room doors. A side beyond the barbwire fences, No Trespassing signs, and midnight shadows.

This book examines how modern medicine’s mechanistic conception of the body has become a defense mechanism to cope with death anxiety. Robbins draws from research on the phenomenology of the body, the history of cadaver dissection, and empirical research in terror management theory to highlight how medical culture operates as an agent which promotes anesthetic consciousness as a habit of perception. In short, modern medicine’s comportment toward the cadaver promotes the suppression of the memory of the person who donated their body. This suppression of the memorial body comes at the price of concealing the lived, experiential body of patients in medical practice. Robbins argues that this style of coping has influenced Western culture and has helped to foster maladaptive patterns of perception associated with experiential avoidance, diminished empathy, death denial, and the dysregulation of emotion.
