The Green Season
Summary
A dynamic collection of essays and reportage, The Green Season illustrates daily life in Costa Rica, a tiny Central American nation dedicated to peace and teeming with tropical life. With his trademark humor and observation, Robert Isenberg describes the people, culture, and biodiversity that make Costa Rica so unique, from a centuries-old indigenous ceremony to a remote jungle crisscrossed by crocodile-filled canals. Isenberg explores the country head-on, fighting his way through San Jose traffic, mingling with venomous snakes, and even making a cameo in an epic soccer film at the height of World Cup fever. Richly detailed and tenderly written, The Green Season is one expat's love letter to his adoptive homeland.

The Iron Mountain
Summary
In 1226 a young German noble plotted the unthinkable: to kidnap the archbishop of Cologne. What followed was a cavalcade of murder, exile, torture, and vengeance. The noble was named Friedrich von Isenberg. Eight centuries later writer Robert Isenberg traveled to Germany to explore Friedrich's legacy. Picking through the ruins of Castle Isenberg and surveying scant documentation, he began to reassemble Friedrich's tragic tale. Part travelogue, part historical mystery, The Iron Mountain explores the bloody landscape of medieval Europe and its ghostly echoes in a small German town.

The Mysterious Tongue of Dr. Vermillion
Summary
It’s 1921, and the Jazz Age is in full swing. But behind the boisterous veneer, malevolence lurks: An airship overrun by seductive killers. An asylum filled with living dead. A mysterious doctor with a secret language. Only one hero has the guts and gusto to face these horrors - Elizabeth Crowne, Uncannologist. Based on the hit podcast, The Mysterious Tongue of Dr. Vermilion collects five Elizabeth Crowne stories, plunging the listener into kaleidoscopic mystery and Radium Age adventure. From the sultry nightclubs of Cuba to the cobblestone streets of Pittsburgh, Elizabeth probes the paranormal - and gives death a run for its money.
