Vietnamkrigen er blevet vendt og drejet mange gange, men der er stadig hovedrystende historier at finde. Vi taler om Tiger Squad, My Lai og om, hvorvidt krig finder eller skaber psykopater.Derefter tager vi til Canada, hvor en unge pige møder The Weird World, og slutter i Papua Ny Guinea, hvor befolkningen er udsat for en sær lidelse.‘På Stribe - din seriemorderpodcast’ er en podcast, der i hver episode dykker ned i én specifik seriemorders liv, gerninger og mentale tilstand for at give et billede af, hvorfor det gik så galt, som det gjorde. Andre dele af serien inkluderer underserierne "Uforståelig ondskab" og "Uskyldigt dømt".Mord har altid skræmt og fascineret os. Hvad får én person til at tage en andens liv? De fleste af os kan på ingen måde sætte os ind i, hvad der skal til for at trykke på aftrækkeren eller stramme løkken om halsen på et uskyldigt offer. Alligevel sker det dagligt verden over. Endnu mere uforståeligt og uhyggeligt er det, når det går op for os, at vi står overfor en seriemorder, der gang på gang tager andres liv for at tilfredsstille sine egne lyster og udleve ustoppelige mørke fantasier. Christoffer Greenfort og Andreas Illum tager lytterne med ind i disse personers skyggeverden og fortæller historierne om virkelighedens monstre, der går uset rundt iblandt os.

‘To Build a Fire’ is one of Jack London’s (‘White Fang, ‘The Call of the Wild’) most cherished short stories. Drawn from London’s personal experiences, we follow an unnamed narrator taking his first steps into the untamed wilds of the Yukon. With only a native dog as his companion, our protagonist must contest with the hostile climate of the Yukon, as he surges ahead on a journey against nature that will shake him to his very core.‘To Build a Fire’ challenges readers to consider what survival means to them, and the lengths they would go to carry on in the most unforgiving territory in the world. Fans of London’s previous works will be enthralled with this story of man versus nature.Jack London (1876 – 1916) was an American journalist, social activist, and author of over 20 novels. From a working-class upbringing, London became one of the highest-paid authors of his time and a world-renowned celebrity. He is best remembered for his classic novels ‘The Call of the Wild’ (1903) and ‘White Fang’ (1906), and his short stories including ‘To Build a Fire’ (1902) and ‘An Odyssey of the North' (1900). Several of his works have found homes on the silver screen such as ‘The Call of the Wild’, which was recently adapted into a live-action film with ‘Star Wars’ and ‘Indiana Jones’ star Harrison Ford.

A tale of literal and proverbial gold diggers.Not the incel manifesto you might expect, "Scorn of Women" is one of Jack London's rare attempts at playwriting, being a three-act adaptation of his short story of the same name. It is available in London’s 1901 collection "The God of His Fathers".Floyd Vanderlip has made it big in the Klondike Gold Rush and has, in unrelated news, caught the eye of the local womenfolk. Promiscuous dancers, married women and Floyd's actual fiancée all want the 'lip' treatment and so he becomes spolied for choice on the ladies front.A comedy of class, manners and manipulation, "Scorn of Women" takes the reader to the golden age of Yukon Territory, Canada (1896-1899) where London – ever the socialist, brings together all layers of society under one roof in the hunt for that noblest of metals. And while it has been long excavated, nobody will leave the ball with their hands clean.Jack London (1876–1916) was an American writer and social activist. He grew up in the working class, but became a worldwide celebrity and one of the highest paid authors of his time.

‘Lost Face’ is a collection of seven brilliant short stories by acclaimed author Jack London. The eponymous opening story ‘Lost Face’ follows a cruel fur trapper named Subienkow in the frosty Yukon in the Canadian north.

First published in 1887, ‘The Big Otter’ by prolific author R.M. Ballantyne is one of many of his stories which draws on his own experiences of living and working in remote parts of Canada as a young man while working for the Hudson’s Bay Company. In an inhospitable part of Canada, a group of British hunters and explorers are living and working together. When two of their number, George Maxby and Jack Lumley, are instructed to set out on their own to establish a new trading post they are helped in their endeavour by a Native American named Big Otter. The trio will encounter plenty of danger and adventure along the way, as well as plenty of wonder as they explore this harsh but beautiful part of the world.R.M. Ballantyne (1825-1894) was a Scottish artist and prolific author of mostly children’s fiction. Born in Edinburgh, Ballantyne was the ninth of ten children. At the age of 16 Ballantyne moved to Canada, where he worked for the Hudson’s Bay Company, travelling all over the country to trade for fur. He returned to Scotland in 1847 following the death of his father, and it was then that he began his literary career in earnest, writing over 100 children’s adventure books over the course of his life. Stories such as ‘The Coral Island’ and ‘The Young Fur Traders’ were hugely popular, and many of them drew on his own experiences of travelling throughout Canada. A stickler for detail, Ballantyne continued to travel widely to research the backgrounds and settings for his exciting stories. His tales became an inspiration for authors of the future, including ‘Treasure Island’ novelist Robert Louis Stevenson. Ballantyne spent the latter period of his life living in London and Italy for the sake of his health. He died in Rome in 1894 at the age of 68.
