										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>THE BOOK THAT BROUGHT DOWN RUPERT MURDOCH &#8211; AND A <i>NEW YORK TIMES</i> BESTSELLER</b></p>
<p>Meet the Murdochs and the disastrously dysfunctional family of Fox News. Until recently, they formed the most powerful media and political force in America. Now their empire is cracking up and crashing down.</p>
<p> In his irresistible trilogy on the chaotic Trump presidency &#8211; <i>Fire and Fury</i>, <i>Siege</i>, and <i>Landslide </i>&#8211; the journalist Michael Wolff led readers deep into the twisted corridors of the White House. Drawing on years of unprecedented access to the Murdoch family and key players, he plunges us behind the scenes of another empire of influence, and the result is astonishing and unforgettable.</p>
<p> Here is Rupert Murdoch, the ninety-two-year-old billionaire &#8211; concerned about his legacy, but more concerned about profits. Here are his contentious children, jockeying to take over when the old man is gone. Here is star anchor Tucker Carlson considering a run for the presidency while his bosses have other plans for him. Sean Hannity, the richest man in television, has his own plans: to put Trump back in office. While presenter Laura Ingraham is just trying to survive in a man&#8217;s world.</p>
<p> As the fallout from the 2020 election and the Dominion lawsuit pummels the reputation of the network, the battling Murdoch heirs position themselves for the final act in this riveting drama.</p>
<p>&#8220;Michael Wolff&#8217;s books were my foundation and port of entry for working on <i>Succession</i>.&#8221; Jeremy Strong (&#8220;Kendall Roy&#8221;)</p>
<p><b>Praise for <i>Fire and Fury</i>:</b></p>
<p><b>#1 <i>New York Times</i> bestseller, a Book of the Year in the <i>Guardian</i>, <i>Sunday Times</i>, <i>Observer</i>, <i>Financial Times</i></b></p>
<p>&#8216;The pages of Wolff&#8217;s book are littered with insults and intrigue, backstabbing and dysfunction&#8217; <i>Washington Post</i></p>
<p>&#8216;What makes the book significant is its sly, hilarious portrait of a hollow man, into the black hole of whose needy, greedy ego the whole world has virtually vanished&#8217; <i>Guardian</i></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8216;You never knew what you were going to be confronted with when you went on Later?&#8217; Nick Cave</p>
<p>&#8216;Later? is a voyage of discovery for us as well as the viewers&#8217; Dave Grohl</p>
<p>Dave Grohl and Alicia Keys loved it, Björk treasured it, Ed Sheeran&#8217;s life was changed by it, Kano felt at home while Nick Cave was horrified but inspired, and they all kept coming back.</p>
<p>This first-hand account of the BBC&#8217;s Later? with Jools Holland takes you behind the scenes of one of the world&#8217;s great musical meeting places. Legends including Sir Paul McCartney, Mary J. Blige and David Bowie found a regular welcome, alongside the next generation of superstars including Adele, Ed Sheeran and Amy Winehouse. Part of what has made the show so special is the format &#8211; all those bands, singers, stars and newbies brought together to listen as well as to perform in Jools&#8217; circle of dreams. But there&#8217;s always been plenty of mayhem alongside the magic of convening a room full of musicians hosted by one of their own.</p>
<p>Written by the show&#8217;s co-creator and 26-year showrunner, music journalist Mark Cooper, this is the story of how Later? grew into a musical and TV institution. It was Mark who had to explain to Jay-Z why he couldn&#8217;t just do his numbers and split, who told Seasick Steve why he had to play &#8216;Dog House Boogie&#8217; on the Hootenanny and persuaded Johnny Cash that he simply had to come in, even when The Man in Black wasn&#8217;t feeling well.</p>
<p>From Stormzy to Björk, from Smokey Robinson to Norah Jones, from Britpop to trip hop, here is the word on how Later? began, evolved and has endured, accompanied by exclusive interviews with some of the show&#8217;s regular stars as well as the unique pictorial record of Andre Csillag who photographed the show for over 20 years. A must-read for music fans everywhere, Later? with Jools Hollandpulls back the curtain on classic performances to reveal that the show is just as magical, if even more chaotic, than you imagined.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Four o&#8217;clock in the morning, and the lights are on and still there&#8217;s no way we&#8217;re going to sleep, not after the film we just saw. The book we just read. Fear is one of the most primal human emotions, and one of the hardest to reason with and dispel. So why do we scare ourselves? It seems almost mad that we would frighten ourselves for fun, and yet there are thousands of books, films, games, and other forms of entertainment designed to do exactly that.As Darryl Jones shows, the horror genre is huge. Ranging from vampires, ghosts, and werewolves to mad scientists, Satanists, and deranged serial killers, the cathartic release of scaring ourselves has made its appearance in everything from Shakespearean tragedies to internet memes. Exploring the key tropes of the genre, including its monsters, its psychological chills, and its love affair with the macabre, Darryl Jones discusses why horror stories disturb us, and how society responds toliterary and film representations of the gruesome and taboo. Should the enjoyment of horror be regarded with suspicion? Are there different levels of the horrific, and should we distinguish between the commonly reviled carnage of contemporary torture porn and the culturally acceptable bloodbaths of ancientGreek tragedies?Analysing the way in which horror manifests multiple personalities, and has been used throughout history to articulate the fears and taboos of the current generation, Jones considers the continuing evolution of the genre today. As horror is mass marketed to mainstream society in the form of romantic vampires and blockbuster hits, it also continues to maintain its former shadowy presence on the edges of respectability, as banned films and violent internet phenomena push us to question both ourown preconceptions and the terrifying capacity of human nature.</p>
