Each story is narrated very well, the collection of narrators bring the right level of light and dark into the story. The stories that play out, however, are quite chilling, often bizarre and uncomfortable and always captivating. These stories are often set against the the hum drum of every day life over a coffee in the kitchen, cooking for a neighbour, moving to a new neighbourhood. Some are short sharp shocks delivered in a couple of pages others are a longer burn which draw you deeper down as the layers of the characters begin to unfold to show their public and private selves, their interactions with each other, their communities, households and neighbours. I was delighted to find this anthology on Audible and loved each of the stories.

When we don’t eat, then insulin goes down, signaling the body to burn this stored energy (body fat). When we eat, insulin goes up, signaling the body to store some food energy as body fat. There’s nothing wrong with that – that is simply its job. And the main hormone we need to know about is insulin. So, the main problem of obesity is not necessarily the calories we eat, but how our bodies use them. Whether the calories we eat are burned as energy or stored as body fat is also tightly controlled by hormones. Whether we urinate a lot or a little is tightly controlled by hormones. Whether our heart beats faster or slower is tightly controlled by hormones. Every single physiologic process is a tight orchestration of hormonal signals. ![]() In your body, nothing happens by accident.

TM involves repeating a mantra chosen specifically for each person by their guru. One way that Lutz says his stepfather invited negative spirits into the house is through Transcendental Meditation, a widely used form of meditation that spread to the West in the 1960s and ’70s. ![]() In the docuseries, Lutz says he believes that any house would have become haunted if it was the site of occult rituals like the ones he believes his stepfather performed. “But I think that’s part of what gives Christopher credibility, is that he’s willing to kind of call out his stepfather for things that he feels were embellished.” “He was very angry at his stepfather George Lutz because he felt that George ultimately embellished the story in press accounts and in subsequent books that he wrote, and kind of turned what was a real experience for Christopher into something that he was clearly trying to monetize and turn into a business,” director Riccobono says. ![]() |
