In the year 1612, the gloomy fortress of Cobweb Castle cast an ominous shadow over the surrounding lands. Its master, Lord Reginald Winslow, was a cruel and tyrannical ruler who governed his subjects with an iron fist. The people lived in constant fear of his wrath, suffering under his oppressive regime of taxation and punishment. Within the castle walls, Lord Winslow's family – his wife Mary and children Kate and Johnny – existed in a gilded cage, prisoners to his domineering ways. "Father, must you tax the peasants so heavily?" young Kate once dared to ask during a tense family dinner. "They have so little to begin with." Lord Winslow slammed his fist on the table, causing the silver platters to rattle. "Mind your tongue, girl! It is by my iron rule alone that this land knows any order. The rabble should be grateful for my leadership, however harsh it may be." His wife Mary shrank back, trembling. "P-Please, my lord... The child means no offense." "See that it does not happen again," Winslow growled, his eyes smoldering with cruelty. As the years dragged on, the oppression only worsened. Mothers wept as their sons were arrested and hanged for the most trivial of crimes. Farmers had their crops seized to pay exorbitant taxes, leaving their families to starve.

Considered one of the finest performers in world cinema, Japanese actor Takashi Shimura (1905-1982) appeared in more than 300 stage, film and television roles during his five-decade career. He is best known for his frequent collaborations with Akira Kurosawa, including major roles in the landmark classics Rashomon (1950), Ikiru (1952) and Seven Samurai (1954), and for his memorable characterizations in Ishiro Honda's Godzilla (1954) and several Kaiju sequels. This is the first complete English-language account of Shimura's work. In addition to historical and critical coverage of Shimura's life and career, it includes an extensive filmography.

From Chicago historian Adam Selzer, expert on all of the Windy City’s quirks and oddities, comes a compelling heavily researched anthology of the stories behind its most fascinating unsolved mysteries. To create this unique volume, Selzer has collected forty unsolved mysteries from the 1800s to modern day. He has poured through all newspaper, magazine, and book references to them, and consulted expert historians. Topics covered include who really started the great Chicago fire, who was the first “automobile murderer,” and even if there was actually a vampire slaying at Rose Hill cemetery. The result is both a colorful read to get lost in, a window to a world of curiosity and wonder, as well as a volume that separates fact from fiction—true crime from urban legend. Complementing the gripping stories Selzer presents are original images of the crime and its suspects as developed by its original investigators. Readers will marvel at how each character and crime were presented, and happily journey with Selzer as he presents all facts and theories presented at the time of the “crime” and uses modern hindsight to assemble the pieces.
