Sunny Palm Springs Is A Perfect Setting for Noir

"On a steamy summer day, the residential streets are absent of people and can possess an unsettling quiet. Where is everyone?"

How Voltaire Helped Spread the Legend of Europe's Most Famous Prisoner, The Man in the Iron Mask

In 18th century Europe, there was no greater conspiracy theory than the one surrounding "L'homme au masque de fer"

Inside the Fiction Group in a Maximum-Security Psychiatric Hospital
