This book examines true life mysteries with an unusual twist . . . in each one, the dead victim is also a prime suspect. Each of the thirty one chapters takes a person whose death was officially ruled a suicide, presents evidence that they may have been murdered instead, and lets the readers decide for themselves which side to believe. Perhaps you are curious as to what mysteries await you when you read this book. 31 Suspicious Suicides covers celebrity deaths such as Marilyn Monroe and Mindy McCready and historical figures ranging from Cleopatra to Adolf Hitler. Also included are the people who stood up to powerful forces, be it exposing CIA secrets or opposing the Iraq War, and ended up dead shortly thereafter. Finally, there are deaths that can only be described as truly bizarre, such as the death metal singer whose fresh corpse was featured on his band's album cover. Also featured is a never-before-seen theory of Kurt Cobain's death. If you are the type of person with the courage to look past the official story and examine the details for yourself, this is the perfect book for you!

Did the noble order of the Knights Templar guard a secret about Jesus’ birth? Was the moon landing faked in a Hollywood movie studio? Is the government keeping the remains of an alien spacecraft in the top-secret Area 51? Monte Cook takes a look at conspiracy theories—ranging from the historically complex to the seriously whacked out. With a disbelieving eye, he traces the history of some of the world's weirdest ideas and even includes a chart showing readers how to make up conspiracy theories for themselves. Scattered through the book are the paranoid "notes" of an anonymous reader who claims to know what's really going on. You can make up your own mind as to who's telling the truth!

Conspiracy theories seem to be proliferating today. Long relegated to a niche existence, conspiracy theories are now pervasive, and older conspiracy theories have been joined by a constant stream of new ones – that the USA carried out the 9/11 attacks itself, that the Ukrainian crisis was orchestrated by NATO, that we are being secretly controlled by a New World Order that keep us docile via chemtrails and vaccinations. Not to mention the moon landing that never happened. But what are conspiracy theories and why do people believe them? Have they always existed or are they something new, a feature of our modern world? In this book Michael Butter provides a clear and comprehensive introduction to the nature and development of conspiracy theories. Contrary to popular belief, he shows that conspiracy theories are less popular and influential today than they were in the past. Up to the 1950s, the Western world regarded conspiracy theories as a legitimate form of knowledge and it was therefore normal to believe in them. It was only after the Second World War that this knowledge was delegitimized, causing conspiracy theories to be banished from public discourse and relegated to subcultures. The recent renaissance of conspiracy theories is linked to internet which gives them wider exposure and contributes to the fragmentation of the public sphere. Conspiracy theories are still stigmatized today in many sections of mainstream culture but are being accepted once again as legitimate knowledge in others. It is the clash between these domains and their different conceptions of truth that is fuelling the current debate over conspiracy theories.
