The Kill Jar
Now the subject of the Discovery+ series Children of the Snow, a cold case murder investigation is cracked open by “a powerful, confident voice in the new true crime memoir genre” (James Renner, author of True Crime Addict). Four children were abducted and murdered outside of Detroit during the winters of 1976 and 1977, their bodies eventually dumped in snow banks around the city. J. Reuben Appelman was only six years old when the murders began and even evaded an abduction attempt during that same period, fueling a lifelong obsession with what became known as the Oakland County Child Killings. Autopsies showed that the victims had been fed while in captivity, reportedly held with care. A...

The Snow Killings
Over 13 months in 1976-1977, four children were abducted in the Detroit suburbs, each of them held for days before their still-warm bodies were dumped in the snow near public roadsides. The Oakland County Child Murders spawned panic across southeast Michigan, triggering the most extensive manhunt in U.S. history. Yet after less than two years, the task force created to find the killer was shut down without naming a suspect. The case "went cold" for more than 30 years, until a chance discovery by one victim's family pointed to the son of a wealthy General Motors executive: Christopher Brian Busch, a convicted pedophile, was freed weeks before the fourth child disappeared. Veteran Detroit News reporter Marney Rich Keenan takes the reader inside the investigation of the still-unsolved murders--seen through the eyes of the lead detective in the case and the family who cracked it open--revealing evidence of a decades-long coverup of malfeasance and obstruction that denied justice for the victims.

And the statistics are just as bad in Canada. As a sought-after global expert and former detective, Arntfield has devoted his career to helping solve cold cases and serial ...

Make Loneliness
Poetry. From the Graduate Writing Program at Otis College of Art and Design comes MAKE LONELINESS, a collection of new poetry by poet and screenwriter J. Reuben Appelman. Poems siphoned through a Wasteland lens juxtaposing violence, politically driven sex in public, the unrequited urge toward proper parenting, and an often abysmal undertow of post-televised American pop complexity: "On Judge Joe Brown today, there was a man who wanted his bamboo steamer back. He was considered the plaintiff, and his girlfriend was counter-suing for lack of affection in the amount of $6,000. Once I dyed my hair to match my computer. Is this the same? Somebody threw a key party and everyone went home with a tumor and a vehicle. My favorite time of year became those weeks when my roots were growing in. I was always happy, and on the verge of something awful. This after I drew her face on an orange, and cut it in half. My father as X under pending. He told me, Go into the universe and make loneliness, Son, make more loneliness."
A Purpose to Our Savagery
A mother struggles with what it means to be Chicana as she searches for her son at a powwow. A delivery driver has a fateful encounter with a voracious customer at the end of the world. A grieving father learns the true identity of the hummingbird that hovers outside his kitchen window. A Mexican cowboy— who might or might not be the Messiah— orders a pepperoni pizza on a Friday night. And a troubled young man develops an unexpected bond with his neighbor' s racist yard ornament. In his debut collection, Tom&á s Hulick Baiza explores the poetic and mythic spaces between light and dark, where Aztec gods and more contemporary obsessions fight for dominance. With characters who jump off the page, A Purpose to Our Savagery takes readers on a journey through tragi-comic, hallucinatory, and even nightmarish landscapes where he exalts the resilience of outsiders in a world inclined to leave them behind. In the end, Baiza' s stories highlight the extraordinary and mundane challenges that we overcome to make it to the next day.
