"¡Bienvenidas, bienvenides y bienvenidos al Mictlán de las Morras Malditas! A partir de este momento abrimos la puerta a historias de vivos y muertos. Quédense con nosotras, apaguemos la luz y entremos a la noche." Mucho más que leyendas, las historias que aquí narran Janis y Maldo hacen resonar las voces de personas que han experimentado el miedo, el misterio y lo inexplicable, a lo largo de un viaje delirante por sus lugares de origen: la sierra de la mixteca, en Oaxaca y el desierto de Sonora, dos latitudes dispares y complementarias, cargadas de memoria, simbolismo y de ese chicloso sobrenatural que ellas nos han hecho sentir en cada uno de sus programas.", Ave Barrera. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "Welcome to Mictlán de las Morras Malditas!
As of this moment, we'll be opening the door to stories about the living and the dead. Join us as we turn off the lights and embrace the night."

They take us on a mind-bending journey to the lands of their birth: the mountains of the Sierra Mixteca in Oaxaca and the Sonoran Desert. These two very different geographies complement each other with their rich legacies of memory, symbolism and supernatural thrills that come through in every episode of their podcast." - Ave Barrera.Sold out -

Call and Response
In these deftly written stories of the fantastic, Christopher Caldwell unravels the complicities of personhood and gender, slavery and war. Winner of the Crawford Award.
Saints and sailors, scoundrels and surfers.
Caldwell's characters appear in contrasting duets-first notes during the initial half, and then again in counterpoint, when the dominoes fall in the second half.
In addition to collecting incredible stories previously published in venues like FIYAH, Strange Horizons, and Uncanny, Call and Response also features the original short story "The Lonesome Sea."
advance praise forCALL AND RESPONSE"Throughout, Caldwell brings his all-Black, mostly queer protagonists to vivid life while exploring the collision of the natural and the supernatural. This stuns."
-Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Call and Response is a great showcase for Christopher's particular gift: his sophisticated prose, so changeable from story to story, but always distinctive in voice, playful and masterful in style!"
-Kai Ashante Wilson, author of A Taste of Honey
"I am so glad I get to live in the time-space where Christopher Caldwell is creating. And so happy to see these horny, heartbreaking, world-changing stories gathered together in one truly staggering collection."
-Sam J. Miller, author of Boys, Beasts & Men
"Christopher Caldwell's stories are lyrical and wondrous, his gaze unflinching and kind. Here are visions of doomed whaling voyages, bank robbers on the run from arcane enforcers, desperate characters confronting the world's evils, gods and saints, betrayals and joys. Caldwell calls us to witness the world as it is and as it could be. The tales in Call and Response are magic: they'll transform you."
-Izzy Wasserstein, author of These Fragile Graces, This Fugitive Heart
"Call and Response is one of the most honest, brutal and beautiful collections of short work I've ever read. It is full of love and pain and a will to not just endure, but thrive. Caldwell's rich characterization and voice infuses every story with a flesh and blood heart-a heart that will leap from the page and beat in time with your own. I am in awe of this collection. Thank you for writing it."

After 1177 B.C.: The Survival of Civilizations
In this gripping sequel to his bestselling 1177 B.C., Eric Cline tells the story of what happened after the Bronze Age collapsed--why some civilizations endured, why some gave way to new ones, and why some disappeared forever
"A landmark book: lucid, deep, and insightful. . . . You cannot understand human civilization and self-organization without studying what happened on, before, and after 1177 B.C."--Nassim Nicholas Taleb, bestselling author of The Black Swan At the end of the acclaimed history 1177 B.C., many of the Late Bronze Age civilizations of the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean lay in ruins, undone by invasion, revolt, natural disasters, famine, and the demise of international trade. An interconnected world that had boasted major empires and societies, relative peace, robust commerce, and monumental architecture was lost and the so-called First Dark Age had begun. Now, in After 1177 B.C., Eric Cline tells the compelling story of what happened next, over four centuries, across the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean world. It is a story of resilience, transformation, and success, as well as failures, in an age of chaos and reconfiguration. After 1177 B.C. tells how the collapse of powerful Late Bronze Age civilizations created new circumstances to which people and societies had to adapt. Those that failed to adjust disappeared from the world stage, while others transformed themselves, resulting in a new world order that included Phoenicians, Philistines, Israelites, Neo-Hittites, Neo-Assyrians, and Neo-Babylonians. Taking the story up to the resurgence of Greece marked by the first Olympic Games in 776 B.C., the book also describes how world-changing innovations such as the use of iron and the alphabet emerged amid the chaos. Filled with lessons for today's world about why some societies survive massive shocks while others do not, After 1177 B.C. reveals why this period, far from being the First Dark Age, was a new age with new inventions and new opportunities. -
"You've Got Michael": Living through HIStory

While detailing the inner workings of the music business at its mega-platinum peak, "You've Got Michael" is also a gripping drama about working with a global talent through the most difficult time in his career.In 1991, Dan Beck -- a senior marketing executive at Epic Records in New York -- became Michael Jackson's product manager, with direct responsibility for the artist's record packaging, publicity, videos, retail strategy and contact with the label. The story he tells here is of the five years in that role, dealing with Jackson's unchecked ambition, surprising need for reassurance and increasing challenges to his career, many of them self-induced. Beck recounts his often surprising (if sometimes dismaying) experiences with clear-eyed objectivity, seeing Jackson as both a superstar and a real person.

Dreamland: An Autobiography
Bob Lazar is the reason Area 51 became infamous in the 1980s and his recent appearance on Joe Rogan's podcast with 7 million listeners is credited with inspiring the Storm Area 51 phenomenon. In his DREAMLAND autobiography, Lazar reveals every detail of his highly controversial story about being an insider within the world's most legendary military research base. Bob Lazar was a brilliant young physicist that found himself employed at a top secret facility in the middle of the desert outside Las Vegas. Under the watchful eye of the government elite, he is tasked with understanding an exotic propulsion system being used by an advanced aerospace vehicle he is told came from outer space. The stressful work and long, odd hours start to wear on Bob and he becomes concerned for his safety. He tells his wife and a couple close friends about what he's doing in the desert, and his employers find out and are furious. When they station goons outside his house, Bob seeks help from wealthy UFOlogist, John Lear, who encourages Bob to take his story to award-winning investigative journalist George Knapp at KLAS-TV, a CBS affiliate. To prove he's telling the truth, Bob takes a group of people out into the desert to watch a test flight of the "flying saucer." On the way home, they are stopped by the police, who notify the base, and Bob loses his job. In a series of interviews with CBS TV, Bob Lazar then blows the lid off "Area 51," blows the whistle on the effort to conceal this craft from the American people, and blows up his career as a top physicist. Bob Lazar's reports have been the subject of intense controversy for decades. He has been interviewed numerous times and his story has been corroborated by other individuals he worked with and who were present when these events happened. But until now, Bob Lazar has never told his own story, in every detail in his own words, about those exciting days in the desert outside of Las Vegas and how the world came to learn about the experiments being conducted at Area 51. -
