I’m No Superman! Antiheroes in Popular Culture: Exploring Sports in America (Volume 3) by Dr. Joseph D. Di Lella

About I’m No Superman! Antiheroes in Popular Culture: Exploring Sports in America (Volume 3) by Dr. Joseph D. Di Lella

In this book, I’m No Superman! Antiheroes in Popular Culture: Examining Sports in America (Volume Three), we will examine prominent sports figures from America (plus a select few from Canada, Argentina and Pakistan) over the past 125 years – particularly in the MLB, the NBA and WNBA, the NFL, college basketball, the professional boxing world, the PGA, the WTA, the Olympics and World Cup soccer. Commissioners, presidents, owners general manager and organizational leaders will also looked at as well to determine if their roles with their league or teams have enhanced their own pocketbooks rather than make the game more enjoyable for the fans. Too many non-athletes have taken bribes to boost particular men and women in sports – and that alone is unethical and illegal, and makes them as well, antiheroes as well as athletes who play the game.

Although you may believe an antihero as an irredeemable person, this is not true in real life. Human beings make mistakes, some of which happen early or later in life, but there is always a chance that he/she can change the direction in life for the better.

For example, look at Ron LeFlore – a 3-time MLB All-Star back in the early 1970’s who needed to prove to Billy Martin and others with the Detroit Tigers that he was not merely a young man who should spend 5-10 years in a prison cell. Ron was given a chance (and an early parole, kept his nose clean, and never looked back at the world of crime.

Yet when we look at O.J. Simpson, a once celebrated NFL running back, sports commentator and actor, we see a man who blew up his entire world by ‘allegedly’ (civilly libel) committing a double murder of his former wife and her male friend. And Oscar Pistorius – a Paraolympian who was as fast as an able-bodied male and participated in the summer Olympic Games – but like O.J., was found guilty of manslaughter of his girlfriend.

Both men are more like villains than antiheroes without an opportunity of redemption.

From his admission of ‘bad judgement’ in a press conference in 2003, Kobe Bryant admitted to the world of his sexual misadventure with a young Colorado woman. What of Tiger Woods, the G.O.A.T of the PGA? Tiger admitted his cheating ways to the world as well – even though it may him look ‘weak’, it brought out the humanity of the man as well.

Both Mohammed Ali and Howard Cosell were antiheroes and the sports world embraced both the boxer and the broadcaster. Ali was hated by many Americans for his anti-Vietnam stance, but the Supreme Court backed his decision not to fight in a meaningless war overseas. And backing him was his ally Howard Cosell, who had also supported Tommy Smith and John Carlos for their Black Power salute in the 1968 Mexican Olympic Games.

It is hoped that this book will bring perspective on the men and women of professional sports, who are not ‘perfect’ but also are not ‘hopeless’ either in their political views or personal choices, but still have had memorable lives and careers that are worth reviewing.

Kyle Benjamin Kesselman: A Story Told in One Room

About Kyle Benjamin Kesselman: A Story Told in One Room

In a stark police interview room, Jake Diamond recounts a decade-long nightmare that began innocently enough at a Jewish youth group camp in 2011. What starts as a fleeting encounter with the quirky, younger Kyle Benjamin Kesselman evolves into a harrowing tale of obsession, threats, and self-destruction, all documented through Kyle’s own unhinged social media posts.

As Kyle spirals from aspiring influencer—dancing in backyards and auditioning for reality TV—to a volatile menace, Jake becomes an unwilling witness. Kyle’s life unravels: kicked out by his mother, homeless under bridges, fighting shelter kids, and landing on house arrest after assaulting his mother’s boyfriend and threatening a childhood bully with medieval revenge. Jake, haunted by Kyle’s escalating rants about “society’s puppets” and fantasies of violence, takes anonymous action—tipping off employers, camps, and authorities—to avert disaster.
Framed as Jake’s confession to detectives Moretti and Patel, the narrative builds tension through Kyle’s own words: stunt-driving at 170 km/h, “full Negan” murder daydreams, and suicidal rampage threats. Jake’s interventions—cancelling Kyle’s driving test, getting him fired from kids’ parties—only fuel the fire, culminating in Kyle’s final, fatal act: plowing his red Civic into a protest crowd, killing two before being lynched by the mob.
Kyle Benjamin Kesselman: A Story Told in One Room is a taut psychological thriller exploring digital obsession, failed systems, and the thin line between vigilance and vengeance. At 80 pages, it’s a raw, dialogue-driven descent into madness, where the real horror is how predictable—and preventable—it all was.

Enslaved A Necessary Evil by Ann Lee

About Enslaved A Necessary Evil by Ann Lee

Vice President John C. Calhoun’s dark obsession with enslaved Liza, threatens to unravel his carefully built legacy. Yet betrayal left bloodstains that history could never erase, stains that no speech, monument, or polished memory could conceal. Enslaved: A Necessary Evil is a haunting tale set against the backdrop of antebellum America—a time when shadows clung to the walls of grand estates and secrets whispered relentlessly through the corridors of power.
Liza, a young Black Cherokee girl, is captured and sold into slavery, her childhood stolen in an instant. Torn from her people and stripped of freedom, she is forced into a world where her body becomes property, and her voice is silenced. Within the household of Calhoun, Liza is his sexual possession—an unspoken truth hidden beneath the grandeur of political power and the veneer of Southern gentility.
Calhoun is remembered as one of America’s most controversial political figures—a man of towering intellect, unrelenting ambition, and ruthless conviction. He carved his legacy into the nation with his defense of slavery, declaring it not just a “necessary evil” but a “positive good.” Yet even as his speeches thundered in Congress and his portrait was hung in halls of power, another truth remained unspoken. A truth carried in enslaved bodies, pulsing through generations forced into silence. To open these pages is to ask difficult questions: How do we remember? Whose stories matter? And how do the shadows of the past shape the legacies of the present? To look beyond the statues and speeches and confront the blood that built them. To ask not only what happened but who was silenced when history was written.
This is the story that history forgot. This is the story America was never meant to hear.

The Elf Who Knows A Guy

About The Elf Who Knows A Guy

After almost twenty years as a math professor, Archie Dauphine was ready for something new—and perhaps a little strange.

Enter the Curiousium: a sprawling space that’s equal parts library and magical warehouse, filled with everything from ancient scrolls to dwarven novels to magical artifacts. Long used exclusively by the Faekind, the mystical beings who live alongside the mortal world, the Curiousium is now opening its doors to everyone. As the first human employee, Archie’s new role as a library associate is to help bridge the gap between the magical and the mortal.

His coworkers? An elf who always “knows a guy,” a dwarf who expects a good insult every chance you get, a lederhosen-loving Sasquatch, and a relentlessly cheerful pixie. Their boss? A tiny book dragon with an insatiable need to hoard books.

When human detective Rowan Blake arrives to seek help with a cold case she’s been assigned, what begins as a consultation soon pulls Archie into a mystery involving a missing person and a dangerous group long thought gone. And if his matchmaking teenage daughter has her way, Archie and Rowan might end up doing more than solving the case.
