Kathleen Hanna’s band Bikini Kill embodied the punk scene of the 90s, and today her personal yet feminist lyrics on anthems like “Rebel Girl” and “Double Dare Ya” are more powerful than ever. But where did this transformative voice come from? In Rebel Girl, Hanna’s raw and insightful new memoir, she takes us from her tumultuous childhood to her formative college years and her first shows. As Hanna makes clear, being in a punk “girl band” in those years was not a simple or safe prospect.

Shalom Auslander was raised like a veal in a dysfunctional family in the Orthodox community of Monsey, New York: the son of an alcoholic father; a guilt-wielding mother; and an overbearing God. Now, as he reaches middle age, Auslander begins to suspect that what plagues him is something worse, something he can't so easily escape: a story. The story. One implanted in him at an early age, a story that told him he is fallen, broken, shameful, disgusting, a story we have all been told for thousands of years, and continue to be told by the religious and secular alike, a story called "Feh."

Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band explodes. When he arrives in January 1966 Robyn Hitchcock is still a boy pining for the comforts of home and his family’s loving au pair, Teresa. By December 1967 he’s mutated into a 6'2 tall rabid Bob Dylan fan, whose two ambitions in life are to get really stoned and move to Nashville.

Publisher's summary
From Moon Unit Zappa, the daughter of musical visionary Frank Zappa, comes a memoir of growing up in her unconventional household in 1970s Los Angeles, coming of age in the Hollywood Hills in the 1980s as the “Valley Girl,” gaining momentum as an accidental VJ on a new network called MTV, and finding herself after losing her father, then her mother, and the testing of her most important relationships.
How can you navigate life as the “normal” child of an extraordinary creative? What is it like to live in a hothouse of individuality that on one hand fosters freedom of expression, and on the other tamps down the basic desires of a child for boundaries and affection? Should you call your parents Frank and Gail from birth?
For Moon Unit Zappa, processing a life so punctuated by the whims of genius, the tastes of popular culture, the calculus of celebrity, and the nature of love, was at times eviscerating, at times illuminating—but mostly deeply confusing. Yes, this is a book about growing up in the shadow of Frank Zappa. Moon and her family were a source of constant curiosity, for their unique names and for their father’s reputation as a musical savant and fierce protector of the First Amendment, even though he was never a commercial success.
Searching for her own path, first as her father’s inadvertent musical collaborator and public sidekick with their surprise mega radio hit, then as an actress, an artist, a spiritual person, a wife and mother, Moon Unit calculates ever-changing equations of fame, family, death and ultimately legacy when dealt the shocking news that Gail’s will established an unequal distribution among the remaining, tight-knit Zappas, catalyzing a quest for meaning and redemption.
With love, humor, and humility, Earth to Moon reminds us that every family is faced with problems that are unique to their particular makeup, but the journey to growing into yourself with grace is as universal as it gets.

Best-selling author Bryan Burrough recently made a shocking discovery: The small town of Temple, Texas, where he had grown up, had harbored a dark secret. One of his high school classmates, Danny Corwin, was a vicious serial killer. In this chilling tale, Burrough raises important questions of whether serial killers can be recognized before they kill or rehabilitated after they do. It is also a story of Texas politics and power that led the good citizens of the town of Temple to enable a demon who was their worst nightmare.

Monster stories aren’t just meant to entertain. They’re meant to inform, even educate. Above all, they ask us to question our own humanity. Nowhere is this truer than in stories of serial killers. What are the origins of this monstrous archetype? Why are we so fascinated with such gruesome terror? What do they reveal about our fears and anxieties? Explore these and other questions in Serial Killers: Real and Imagined, where public scholar Emily Zarka looks at the serial-killer trope across history, from murky 17th-century legends to 21st-century true-crime obsessions.

At the height of World War II, Oak Ridge, Tennessee, was home to 75,000 residents, consuming more electricity than New York City. But to most of the world, the town did not exist. Thousands of civilians - many of them young women from small towns across the South - were recruited to this secret city, enticed by solid wages and the promise of war-ending work. Kept very much in the dark, few would ever guess the true nature of the tasks they performed each day in the hulking factories in the middle of the Appalachian Mountains.

For his victims, for their families and for the investigators tasked with finding him, the senselessness and brutality of the Golden State Killer's acts were matched only by the powerlessness they felt at failing to uncover his identity. Then, on April 24, 2018, authorities arrested 72-year-old Joseph James DeAngelo at his home in Citrus Heights, Calif., based on DNA evidence linked to the crimes. Amazingly, it seemed, evil finally had a name. Please note: This work contains descriptions of violent crime and sexual assault and may not be suitable for all listeners.

Perfect. Brilliant. Hilarious. (&made me cry in a good way)
Earth to Moon is officially the greatest audiobook that I've ever experienced. Beautifully written, excellent story-telling, and the author reading her own words is such a joy. Honestly could not put this down, and will be buying a hard copy so that I can read it again & again.
Moon Zappa's joyously dark memoirs are full of weirdo celebrities, obnoxious family members, and dates from hell. She takes us along for the ride, as our besty tour guide, navigating us through the good &the horrific, leading us safely with a clear, honest, and loving voice.
I can't wait to hear more from her in the future!

Devastatingly Beautiful
Midway through the book, as a teen living at home, she is on a talk show describing an incident at home that she thinks will be perceived by the television audience as quirky and funny. At the commercial break, the host says to her, in horror, "This is child abuse." Something we readers have been hoping the author will realize since Chapter One.
Raw and devastating and honest and funny. As with so many Audible books, hearing the author read her story adds such richness. Highly recommended for anyone. But teenage girls in particular may discover a kindred spirit in Moon Zappa. Very highly recommended.

Good story/annoying narration
Her story is very well written. I usually enjoy listening to memoirs read by the author, but I could barely abide how often she went into an almost crying voice that seemed like bad acting. She would go into this voice for only one sentence sometimes, so it was distracting and seemed disingenuous. Highly annoying. Read the book. It’s good. Don’t listen. Her narration would have been great (she sounds a lot like Molly Shannon) if she had just read it normally and let her words do the talking rather than trying hard to emote so much. Frankly, it made me question the veracity of the entire narrative.

You Were and Are a Lovely Person and This Book Will Help Many!
Thank you, Moon for this book! Any man who has his wits about him would be incredibly proud to have you as a daughter! Your strength of heart to wind your way through all of that trauma and emerge the way you are makes me happy for you and for many women, young women and men too- who need to learn to parent themselves and mother themselves to seek what Karen Horney calls the real self. I have been a therapist who has sat with many suicidal adolescents and I will be recommending your book to many alone with A Gift of Therapy by Yalom. It may help to realize that you are showing many a way! be well!! c

Holy moly what a thing to go through as a child. The internal struggles Moon went through. She handled everything amazingly well.

Honesty Honesty Honesty!
Talk about digging deep! Way to go Moon Unit!
I’m experiencing much the same in my family and a Mother who is hellbent on showing me how much I really mean to her! She’s “Loving” me to death! Lol!
I too will get nothing in the day she dies and she’ll be leaving everything to my sister, proving her selfish and insolent behavior.
The entire book had me feeling your pain!

Beautiful work Moon
I felt like you not only told your story and owned your truth and your self awareness and heart that in some way you reflected my own truth and heart back to me. Thank you for sharing and having the courage to be you. Beautiful
