In a career spanning four decades, Charles Band has perfected the art of the B-movie: vampires, aliens, mayhem, evil puppets, zombies, and everything else you might hope to find on T.V. at 2:30 AM. Nobody has kept the spirit of the Grindhouse alive, nobody has touched more Hollywood careers, nobody has spattered more blood or manifested more monsters than Band. In this revealing tell-all, Band details the dizzying heights and catastrophic depths of his decades in showbiz. Filled with revealing cameos from Hollywood's A-list, B-list, and Z-list, Confessions of a Puppetmaster is a wild romp through Hollywood's decidedly un-Oscar-worthy underbelly.

Most of us can recall 'Four score and seven years ago', but much of what we know about Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, and what it has to say about the Civil War itself, has been lost since we left school. Using Lincoln's words as a keystone the book shows us the events through the eyes of those who lived these dramatic events, drawing from first hand accounts from everyone from soldiers to slaves, as well as through dramatizations with key figures during pivotal events.

Celebrated actor, personality, and all-around nerd, Wil Wheaton updates his memoir of collected blog posts with all new material and annotations as he reexamines one of the most interesting lives in Hollywood and fandom-and now for the first time in audio, narrated by Wil himself! From starring in Stand by Me to playing Wesley Crusher on Star Trek: The Next Generation to playing himself in his second (third?) iconic role of Evil Wil Wheaton in The Big Bang Theory, to becoming a social media supernova, Wil Wheaton has charted a career course unlike anyone else, and has emerged as one of the most popular and well-respected names in science fiction, fantasy, and pop culture. Back in 2001, Wil began blogging on wilwheaton.net. Believing himself to have fallen victim to the curse of the child actor, Wil felt relegated to the convention circuit, and didn't expect many would want to read about his random experiences and personal philosophies. Yet, much to his surprise, people were reading. He still blogs, and has an enormous presence on-line. In Still Just a Geek, Wil revisits his 2004 collection of blog posts, Just a Geek, filled with insightful and often laugh-out-loud annotated comments, additional later writings, and all new material written for this publication. The result is an incredibly raw and honest memoir, in which Wil opens up about his life, about falling love, coming to grips with a stagnant career he did not choose, overcoming and healing childhood abuse, and the search for creative and emotional fulfillment as a storyteller. From his times on the Enterprise, to his struggles with anxiety, depression, and PTSD, to his starting a family and embracing his passion-writing-Wil Wheaton's journey is an inspiring and empowering tale, a story of finding one's true purpose that should resonate with fans and aspiring artists alike.
