When Delilah Marlow visits a famous traveling carnival, Metzger's Menagerie, she is an ordinary woman in a not-quite-ordinary world. But under the macabre circus black-top, she discovers a fierce, sharp-clawed creature lurking just beneath her human veneer.

But there is breathtaking beauty behind the seamy and grotesque reality of the carnival.

In a court ruled by the dangerous whims of King Augustus the Strong, two lives—separated by decades—are drawn into the grip of a monarch obsessed with beauty, power, and porcelain.

As Johann navigates the court’s shifting alliances, he finds unlikely support in a former royal mistress, Maria, and her daughter, Katharina. His talent could secure his future—or destroy it.

Amelia usually loves Christmas. But this year, it's her first one alone since losing her husband. Well... not quite alone. Thanks to the infuriatingly handsome new village vet, who's shut down the local kennels, Amelia finds herself playing reluctant host to a chaotic parade of pets: a parrot with attitude, two sulky tortoises, and a mysterious swarm of baby mice. As her home turns into a festive menagerie, Amelia ends up spending far more time with Jules the vet than she ever intended. And despite the villagers being up in arms, she's starting to enjoy his company far too much.

« La Ménagerie du Vatican », de Jean de Bonnefon, est une satire mordante et irrévérencieuse qui soulève le voile sur la cour pontificale, dépeinte comme un zoo doré de vanités ecclésiastiques. À travers une plume acérée, l'auteur dresse un inventaire des titres de noblesse pontificaux accordés à des Français, souvent contre paiement : princes, ducs, marquis, comtes, vicontes et barons fraîchement anoblis, dont les origines modestes contrastent avec leurs parchemins latins pompeux.

In 1986, humanity experienced the Reaping - a nationwide slaughter of six-year-old children by their parents - one of the country's most horrific tragedies. From that day forward, the world would never trust another cryptid. Now, Delilah Marlow and a rogue group of cryptids are on the run. One morning, Delilah wakes up with dried blood all over her hands. Though she has no memory of it, she obviously went somewhere - and possibly killed someone - in her sleep. More killings follow, and there is something connecting her victims - perhaps something as dangerous as another Reaping.

Based on the card game and TV show The Misery Index, this is a podcast about communication. While talking with your mom (if you're a teenager) and your teen (if you're a mom) can feel like misery sometimes, Ericka and Jay Hardwick have figured it out: nothing is off limits.
