Criminal Theory: A General Introduction

This book provides a thorough, multidisciplinary exploration of criminal behavior, moving beyond simplistic or single-factor explanations. It integrates biological, psychological, and sociological perspectives to offer a nuanced understanding of why individuals commit crimes, how crime is defined, and how society responds to criminal acts.

The Idealism of Arthur Schopenhauer

Discover the profound and challenging world of Arthur Schopenhauer, one of the 19th century’s most influential and controversial philosophers. This book offers a comprehensive and accessible exploration of Schopenhauer’s philosophical idealism, tracing its roots in Kant’s transcendental idealism and illuminating the radical departures that define Schopenhauer’s unique metaphysical system.

At the heart of Schopenhauer’s thought lies the concept of the “Will”—a blind, irrational force driving all existence—and the subjective nature of “Representation.” Through clear explanations and systematic analysis, this work unpacks Schopenhauer’s pessimistic worldview, his critique of traditional morality, and his belief in the power of aesthetic contemplation and compassion as paths to temporary liberation from suffering.

Engaging with Schopenhauer’s legacy, the book examines his impact on Nietzsche, existentialism, psychology, and the arts, revealing how his ideas continue to shape contemporary debates on meaning, suffering, ethics, and the human condition.

Ideal for both newcomers and seasoned philosophers, The Idealism of Arthur Schopenhauer invites readers into a continuing conversation about the complexities of existence, the limits of reason, and the enduring relevance of Schopenhauer’s vision in the 21st century.

On the Run

On the Run is a deeply introspective and philosophical novel that follows the journey of Elias Thorne, a solitary and contemplative protagonist, as he traverses cities, landscapes, and the inner terrain of his own consciousness. The narrative is structured as a series of thematic chapters, each exploring a different facet of the human condition, such as memory, ideology, love, mortality, and the search for meaning.

The Mandible Killer

The Mandible Killer is a chilling, atmospheric thriller that plunges readers into the heart of a decaying metropolis haunted by a series of grotesque murders. When the mutilated body of an unassuming accountant is discovered by sanitation engineer Sigmund Fields, the city’s fragile sense of order is shattered. The only clue: a meticulously preserved, impossibly large insectoid mandible left at the scene.

Detective Miles Corbin, a brilliant but troubled investigator recently reinstated after a career-derailing scandal, is drawn into the case. As Corbin and his partner Isabella Rossi unravel the killer’s pattern, they confront a predator whose methods defy logic and whose motives seem almost inhuman. The killer, soon dubbed “The Mandible,” leaves no DNA, no witnesses, and no trace—only victims whose faces have been surgically excised, their voices forever silenced.

As panic grips the city and the media frenzy grows, Corbin’s pursuit becomes an obsession. The investigation spirals into a psychological duel, forcing Corbin to confront not only the darkness stalking the streets, but the shadows within himself. Each new clue reveals a chilling intelligence behind the murders, suggesting a force that is both ancient and utterly alien.

With a cast of deeply human characters—grieving families, weary detectives, and a city teetering on the edge—The Mandible Killer is a masterful blend of procedural suspense, psychological horror, and existential dread. Nicholas Tibbetts crafts a story where the city itself becomes a character, its rot and secrets as dangerous as the killer lurking in its shadows.

Will Corbin catch the Mandible before the city succumbs to fear? Or will the hunter become the hunted in a game where the rules are written in blood?
