Unbelievable Crimes Volume Six
Join me in exploring some of the most heinous crimes known to man in Unbelievable Crimes Volume Six. In this installment, I'll cover the story of a female spree killer, whose lust for blood saw her take the lives of three men - and try to murder two more unsuspecting victims. The purpose of her crimes? In her own words, it was for "fun." I'll also delve into a most frustrating crime - a cold case dating back to 1968 - where a teen girl was mercilessly murdered by an unknown assailant. While I find cold cases frustrating due to the lack of closure they bring, crimes as horrific as this ought to be dredged up from the archives of true crime. To forget them is to abandon hope of the killer being brought to justice. Come with me to 1970s Texas to learn about the shocking serial killer known as "The Pied Piper." This criminal sought teenage boys to carry out his wicked crimes and even enlisted the help of a teenager to lure youngsters to his home. What would then occur in his house of horrors is nothing short of nightmarish. The ending to this case is compatible with a twisted horror movie. Then there's the disturbing case of the Welsh cannibal. The man lured his victim back to a hotel room with him before barbarically attacking her. The hotel owner heard the screams coming from room seven, so she unlocked the door only to be greeted with an awfully bloody sight. She raced to call the police, screaming down the phone, "He's eating her." Join me in understanding more about these crimes, as well as six more lesser-known cases, in Unbelievable Crimes Volume Six. As with all content covering true crime, this book contains descriptions of violence, assaults, and murder.

American Masculinities in Contemporary Documentary Film
Most documentaries deal with men, but what do they actually say about masculinity? In this groundbreaking volume Sara Martín analyses more than forty 21st-century documentaries to explore how they represent American men and masculinity. From Jennifer Siebel Newsom’s The Mask You Live In to Raoul Peck’s I Am Not Your Negro, this volume explores sixteen different faces of American masculinity: the good man, the activist, the politician, the whistleblower, the criminal, the sexual abuser, the wrongly accused, the dependent man, the soldier, the capitalist, the adventurer, the sportsman, the architect, the photographer, the musician, and the writer. The collective portrait drawn by the documentaries discloses a firm critical stance against the contradictions inherent in patriarchy, which makes American men promises of empowerment it cannot fulfill. The filmmakers’ view of American masculinity emphasizes the vulnerability of disempowered men before the abuses of the patriarchal system run by hegemonic men and a loss of bearings about how to be a man after the impact of feminism, accompanied nonetheless by a celebration of resilient masculinity and of the good American man. Firmly positioning documentaries as an immensely flexible, relevant tool to understand 21st-century American men and masculinity, their past, present, and future, this book will interest students and scholars of film studies, documentary film, American cultural studies, gender, and masculinity.
