Douglas Preston’s Lost
City of the Monkey God reads like a suspenseful fictional adventure, but
many readers will be surprised to find that this colorful story is actually a
true account of Preston’s involvement in one of the great archeological
discoveries of the last century. Preston’s new book details the story of the
mysterious, lost city known as the “White City”, beginning with its desertion
in the 16th century, when its
citizens believed it had become cursed, all the way to its re-discovery in 2015
deep in the remote Honduran rainforest.

biography of Jackson sheds light on the underrated genius of Shirley Jackson,
