In the opulent world of Beverly Hills, the Menéndez family seemed to have it all—wealth, power, and prestige. But behind the towering gates of their mansion lay dark and twisted secrets that would eventually erupt in one of the most shocking crimes in American history. Sins of the Father: The True Horror of the Menéndez Murders delves deep into the infamous case of Lyle and Erik Menéndez, the brothers who brutally murdered their parents, José and Kitty, in cold blood.

Through gripping accounts of the courtroom drama, disturbing testimonies, and the chilling dynamics within the Menéndez household, Sins of the Father explores the harrowing truth behind the murders that shook a nation. Blurring the lines between victim and villain, this haunting true crime tale forces readers to confront the darker side of family, power, and the terrifying consequences of secrets long buried. Prepare to question everything you thought you knew about the case, and uncover the horrifying truth that still haunts the Menéndez legacy.

When Edgar Allan Poe set down the tale of the accursed House of Usher in 1839, he also laid the foundation for a literary tradition that has assumed a lasting role in American culture. “The House of Usher” and its literary progeny have not lacked for tenants in the century and a half since: writers from Nathaniel Hawthorne to Stephen King have taken rooms in the haunted houses of American fiction. Dale Bailey traces the haunted house tale from its origins in English gothic fiction to the paperback potboilers of the present, highlighting the unique significance of the house in the domestic, economic, and social ideologies of our nation. The author concludes that the haunted house has become a powerful and profoundly subversive symbol of everything that has gone nightmarishly awry in the American Dream.

Zach Darlington saved the world and hardly anyone knows about it. Aside from his best friend, Sandra; his annoying little sister, Naomi; and his friend Ash (who, by the way, is the King of Demons). Somehow, they’ve all managed to keep last summer’s fights against the Behemoth, the Leviathan, and the evil Knights of Apocalypse cult a secret for almost a whole year. Zach and Sandra have their hands full practicing with the archangel Uriel’s flaming sword (in case they ever need to fight monsters again), dodging bully Jeffrey and his sidekicks at school, and doing typical seventh-grade things like homework and watching their favorite horror movies. But when Naomi starts blabbing their secrets—and then disappears during their family’s Passover seder—Zach’s parents are worried and mad. At Zach! Since the sword went missing along with Naomi, Ash is sure that Uriel is to blame. Which means that Zach, Sandra, and Ash are off to Eden—the actual Garden of Eden—to save Naomi and bring her home. The Garden is no paradise. It’s full of scary angels, monsters, and tricksters ready to lay traps, not to mention the Knights of Apocalypse, who still hold a grudge against Zach for interfering with their apocalypse plans last summer. Can Zach make it through the overgrown, dangerous Garden to save his sister and bring her home? And will he still be grounded for life if he does? No one said being a seventh-grade hero was going to be easy.
