"In this wickedly entertaining and thoroughly informed homage to one of rock music's towering pinnacles, Erik Davis investigates the magic—black or otherwise—that surrounds this album. Carefully peeling the layers from each song, Davis reveals their dark and often mystical roots—and leaves the reader to decide whether [FOUR SYMBOLS] is some form of occult induction or just an inspired, brilliantly played rock album.
Excerpt:
Stripping Led Zeppelin's famous name off the fourth record was an almost petulant attempt to let their Great Work symbolically stand on its own two feet. But the wordless jacket also lent the album charisma. Fans hunted for hidden meanings, or, in failing to find them, sensed a strange reflection of their own mute refusal to communicate with the outside world. This helped to create one of the supreme paradoxes of rock history: an esoteric megahit, a blockbuster arcanum. Stripped of words and numbers, the album no longer referred to anything but itself: a concrete talisman that drew you into its world, into the frame. All the stopgap titles we throw at the thing are lame: Led Zeppelin IV, [Untitled], Runes, Zoso, Four Symbols. In an almost Lovecraftian sense, the album was nameless, a thing from beyond, charged with manna. And yet this uncanny fetish was about as easy to buy as a jockstrap."
"Sexual fantasies. Everyone has them, but no one knows what they mean. People are curious about and often confused by the things that arouse them, yet they are often too ashamed to reveal their most private fantasies to their partners or even their therapists. In this fascinating and provocative book, Dr. Michael J. Bader offers a groundbreaking new theory of sexual desire, one that will liberate men and women and enable them to better understand their sexual preferences.
Drawing on his twenty-five years as a psychotherapist and psychoanalyst, Dr. Bader demonstrates that rather than being programmed by biology or society, sexual fantasies and preferences are really psychological antidotes to unconscious dangers. Dr. Bader sensitively tells the stories of his patients and explains the meaning of their sexual fantasies. In terms refreshingly free of jargon, he reveals how his profound new theory can be used to decipher a wide variety of sexual fantasies and behavior. And yet, Dr. Bader's exciting new theory transcends the realm of individual psychology. Listeners will come away with a new understanding of such issues as sexual chemistry and boredom, cybersex, pornography, and the differences in how men and women get excited.
Contains mature themes."
"They were promised a simple job. Now they’re fighting for their lives.
When a so-called “easy op” to protect business tycoon Drake Cryer on a shady deal goes horribly wrong, former Delta Force operative Shepherd and his top-notch partner Lucky are faced with a situation that’s quickly spiraling into chaos. The pair are catapulted into a deadly mission to escape the clutches of a vicious Russian warlord.
Forced to team up with the infamous Darcy Brothers—a legendary mercenary duo with an uncanny ability to cheat death—Shepherd and Lucky must push their skills to the brink if they want to get out alive.
But they’re stranded deep in hostile territory. With a sinister extortion plot hanging over the head of the CEO they swore to protect, Shepherd and his team will need to dance with the devil as they carry out a cunning plan to escape the country in one piece.

"A boy running from the past. A girl who can’t escape it.
Dev Landry has a mundane life; runner-up on the track team, a nerdy best friend, and a job at his overbearing parents’ failing motel. He’s also in love with his former best friend, Hadlee Renee Morgan; the girl that never speaks, unless it's through her dark, disturbing, and taboo photography.
He’s loved her since the day he kissed her at the clearing in the woods three years ago, and then woke up from a coma with scars and no memory of what happened after. Now plagued by blackouts, migraines, and sleepwalking in the woods, his only solace is running, to keep the darkness at bay.
Dev’s life turns upside down when Hadlee shows up seeking refuge, promising answers about that day in the woods, the lies that entrap him, and why she stopped being his friend.
As Dev and Hadlee embark on their journey to rediscover the truth and each other, Dev realizes some secrets refuse to stay buried, and the cost of the truth may not be worth what he loses to find it.
Keep You is a dark, upper-YA coming-of-age mystery sprinkled with romance, quirky humor, and suspense uncovering the lies we tell, the secrets we keep, and the truths we hide."

But taking him down requires more than just cunning. She needs brawn. And for that, she turns to Adam Shepherd, a battle-hardened ex-Delta Force mercenary with a propensity for violence.
Their tumultuous past complicates matters, but nothing motivates cooperation quite like a common enemy. Together, Lucky and Shepherd navigate a dangerous world of crime and corruption, from daring bank heists to high-stakes border runs, each step bringing them closer to Orozco.
But as they begin to close in, it becomes clear that Orozco's ambitions reach far beyond the confines of the criminal underworld—he aims to infiltrate the highest echelons of power and place the free world under his control. Orozco’s grand vision: the American President as his personal puppet.
The task ahead is formidable. Lucky and Shepherd must bury their past, manage their mistrust, and unite in their attempt to outwit and overpower a rapidly ascending wolf…or fall prey to his deadly designs.

"A feel-good, enemies-to-lovers romantic comedy.
Tall, dark, and handsome. That’s what I think the first time I see Rupert Evans in the library.
But then I find out he is the developer who just sent my community garden a cease-and-desist letter because he plans to raze the garden and construct some towering monstrosity there.
The only one who is going to cease and desist is him. That community garden is my found family.
But then he asks me out at book club night.
Suspicious, right?
I’m attractive, but I’m not the type hot bachelors are lining up around the block to ask out. Let’s be real. I’m still in the brunch date spot with my next-door neighbor after a year of my pursuing him.
Rupert is trying to butter me up and lead me down the garden path so I'll concede. Never.
He has no idea what we’re planning to do to stop him. Our little community group may look like a bunch of frail roses, but we’ve got thorns. As long as I weed out these pesky feelings for him, I know we can win. But will I lose my heart?
*The romcom books in this series are interconnected closed door romantic comedy standalones set in the same world in New York City. Each can be read as a pure standalone with a guaranteed happily ever after."
"Humanity's endless war and a crew of outcasts on a decommissioned warship who could change the future.
First contact with the alien 'Clicks' led to a generations' long war. The Terran Federation still knows very little about the enemy.
Captain Konrad Bradley commands the decommissioned battleship Oberon, the last remaining Titan of the fleet. Mocked as a flying museum—too expensive, too cumbersome, too old—Bradley and his crew of outcasts from a long-vanished colony lead a dull life on the farthest edge of human hegemony.
Bradley's hope to go quietly into the night ends with the arrival of the legendary Strike Group 2 and the delivery of a secret so great it could end the war. That's why Lagunia was chosen for its construction.
Getting the system operational doesn't go as expected leaving Bradley and the Oberon to clean up the mess that has drawn the attention of those they hoped would never find them."
"The transition through the experimental teleporter on Al'Antis was successful. James and his team have found the original teleporter of the elders. But what awaits them on the other side is not what they expected. They find the answers they so ardently desire, but none of them makes their future any easier. On the contrary, they suddenly find themselves facing a final, great danger to their home planet that seemed unreachable: Earth.
But the place where James, Mila, Mette, Adrian, Meeks, and Justus find themselves turns everything they have believed upside down—including time itself. Can they make it back to Earth? Or will they remain trapped among the stars? And if they succeed, will their home still exist?"
"James and his team are stranded on Prime. Their way back is blocked, and they face a world taking its last breaths. Only a small area of forest seems to defy the radiation and storms, and its nature puzzles the explorers. But on the horizon, they see the remains of a city and gain new hope—until they find out what really happened on this dark planet."
