The Devil at Genesee Junction

The Devil at Genesee Junction

Today you’d call Ballantyne suburban, but back then, at the start of the summer of 1966, it was country — just a cluster of houses, some of them shacks, on or near Ballantyne Road, in the Town of Chili, NY. And while June 25 started like any other day it would end in a nightmare. In The Devil at Genesee Junction, veteran crime writer, Michael Benson, returns to his formerly rural hometown to take on the double homicide of his friends Kathy Bernhard and George-Ann Formiciola that took place that night. The two girls were missing for a month and then found in the bushes horribly mutilated. The double homicide changed the author’s childhood suddenly, and drastically. He went from living in a rural playland, to being encased in fear, wondering who among them was the werewolf who cut up Kathy and George-Ann. This heinous crime was never resolved, and didn’t go away. In recent years, the author has teamed up with a victim’s mom, and a local private investigator to delve deep into the 6/66 murders, developing along the way some strong new leads and shocking details. Together they have heated up this icy cold case, and their investigation has led them in a startling new direction.

Betrayal In Blood

Betrayal In Blood

Her Cheating Heart"Mommy...won't be with us anymore." That's what attorney Kevin C. Bryant, 45, told his two young sons in the spring of 2003. At the time, blonde, pretty, 26-year-old Tabatha Bryant was alive and well in an upscale suburb of Rochester, New York. But that was about to change--because Bryant knew his wife was cheating--and he intended to end the affair by ending her life. On June 14, 2003, he called 911 to report Tabatha slain by an unknown intruder who'd shot her in the eye with a .22 and repeatedly stabbed her in the neck and upper body. His Evil Plan A drug bust led to Cassidy Green's confession that she'd driven the getaway car. She fingered boyfriend Cyril Winebrenner as the killer. He and Kevin Bryant were buddies who'd regularly gone on cocaine-fueled sex binges with hookers. Astoundingly, Winebrenner was also Tabatha's half-brother--but Bryant's $5,000 had convinced him that money is thicker than blood. In a trial that shook "Country Club Row," prosecutors would present evidence and testimonies that revealed ever more sordid details, leading to final justice for the lawyer who tried to get away with murder...

Wisdom of the Bodos

Wisdom of the Bodos

In an era dominated by rapid technological advancement, globalization, and an overwhelming focus on individual achievement, many of us—especially Gen Z—find ourselves yearning for a sense of balance and purpose. While modern conveniences bring undeniable benefits, they often come at the cost of diminishing connections to community, culture, and the natural world. In this context, the wisdom of indigenous communities, such as the Bodo tribe of Assam, offers a treasure trove of lessons on how to live a life that is not only productive but also healthy, social, creative, and deeply fulfilling. This book, "Wisdom of the Bodos: Life Lessons for Gen Z to Thrive in Modern Times," is an attempt to bridge the gap between traditional knowledge and modern challenges. The Bodos, one of the oldest and most vibrant communities in India, exemplify a harmonious existence rooted in culture, sustainability, and mutual respect. From their wholesome diets to their creative expressions in art and dance, from their sustainable practices to their emphasis on social harmony, the Bodo way of life serves as a beacon of hope for those seeking holistic solutions to the complexities of modern living. The idea for this book was born from my desire to explore how ancient traditions can inform and transform contemporary lifestyles. As I delved into the culture and practices of the Bodo tribe, I was struck by their ability to balance tradition and adaptability, spirituality and practicality, individuality and community. These qualities resonate deeply with the aspirations and struggles of Gen Z, who often find themselves torn between preserving their roots and embracing the future.This book is not just an exploration of the Bodo way of life; it is a call to action. It invites readers to reflect on their own lives and consider how they can incorporate lessons from the Bodos into their daily routines. Whether it is embracing a healthier diet, fostering creative expression, or building stronger relationships, the insights shared in this book are both timeless and transformative. It is my hope that this book will not only enlighten readers about the Bodo culture but also inspire them to rethink their approaches to health, happiness, and personal growth. As we stand at the crossroads of tradition and modernity, let us look to the Bodos as guides, reminding us that the path to a fulfilling life lies in balance, respect, and creativity.

Space Odyssey

Space Odyssey

The definitive story of the making of 2001: A Space Odyssey, acclaimed today as one of the greatest films ever made, and of director Stanley Kubrick and writer Arthur C. Clarke—“a tremendous explication of a tremendous film….Breathtaking” (The Washington Post).Fifty years ago a strikingly original film had its premiere. Still acclaimed as one of the most remarkable and important motion pictures ever made, 2001: A Space Odyssey depicted the first contacts between humanity and extraterrestrial intelligence. The movie was the product of a singular collaboration between Stanley Kubrick and science fiction visionary Arthur C. Clarke. Fresh off the success of his cold war satire Dr. Strangelove, Kubrick wanted to make the first truly first-rate science fiction film. Drawing from Clarke’s ideas and with one of the author’s short stories as the initial inspiration, their bold vision benefited from pioneering special effects that still look extraordinary today, even in an age of computer-generated images. In Space Odyssey, author, artist, and award-winning filmmaker Michael Benson “delivers expert inside stuff” (San Francisco Chronicle) from his extensive research of Kubrick’s and Clarke’s archives. He has had the cooperation of Kubrick’s widow, Christiane, and interviewed most of the key people still alive who worked on the film. Drawing also from other previously unpublished interviews, Space Odyssey provides a 360-degree view of the film from its genesis to its legacy, including many previously untold stories. And it features dozens of photos from the making of the film, most never previously published. “At last! The dense, intense, detailed, and authoritative saga of the making of the greatest motion picture I’ve ever seen…Michael Benson has done the Cosmos a great service” (Academy Award-winning actor Tom Hanks).
