    The Rajneesh Chronicles: The True Story of the Cult that Unleashed the First Act of Bioterrorism on U.S. Soil
    Edited by Win McCormack
    September 2010

    In India, Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh incited his followers to unrestrained sexual license and encouraged them to engage in prostitution and drugsmuggling to feed his endless appetite for money . . . In Oregon, members of his cult launched the first campaign of bio-terrorism in U.S. history and a deranged nurse attempted to create a live AIDS virus . . . The Rajneesh Chronicles tells the frightening story from beginning to end.

    “Win McCormack has put a penetrating spotlight on Indian guru Bhagwan Rajneesh and his bizarre and very dangerous cult.  An utterly fascinating work.”
    —Vincent Bugliosi, author of Helter Skelter

    Your Wildest Dreams, Within Reason
    By Mike Sacks
    March 2011

    Your Wildest Dreams, Within Reason collects Mike Sacks’s unique humor pieces into one handsome, convenient volume. Originally published in The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, Esquire, and McSweeney’s, among other venerable publications, Sacks’s writing is original and sharp, yet broadly funny. Whether it’s a groom tweeting his wedding and honeymoon in real time, or a publisher offering editorial suggestions for The Diary of Anne Frank, Sacks’s work tangles contemporary social satire with his absurdist sensibilities.

    “I loved everything . . . When I wasn’t laughing I was admiring. I super-enjoyed it.”
    —David Sedaris
