Goodbye, Eyeball Fall; hello, Cannibal-tober!(?) We'll workshop it. Special guest J.H. Markert (aka James Markert) joins the Squad to revisit 1991's The Silence of the Lambs and talk about his latest novel, Sleep Tight! We talk about why Hannibal is so iconic (“the late, great Hannibal Lecter,” anyone?), the interplay between trauma and horror, getting inside the mind of a killer, and LGBTQ+ representation in the early 90s. Next we pepper James with questions about his new novel, Sleep Tight (a September Book of the Month pick!), in a spoiler-free interview. Speaking of scary things, Spooktober is back on the Book Squad Blog! Go check that out for more spooky season content.

Immunotherapy is the most promising avenue of research for treating deadly brain tumors. M. R. Chambers, DVM, MD, and James Markert, MD, MPH, are leading clinical trial research on therapies using oncolytic viruses and checkpoint inhibitors as part of an ongoing NIH-awarded UAB Specialized Program of Research. They discuss the promising immune system responses they have seen in humans and dogs via RNA-seq and NanoString analyses, as well as how results may translate from one species to the other in the form of expanded clinical trials.

Procedures for brain tumors, epilepsy, and movement disorders require a precise and conservative approach so as not to damage functioning brain tissue. UAB Hospital neurosurgeons can now check their work as they operate in a new intraoperative MRI suite—the first in Alabama. James Markert, MD, MPH, chair of the Department of Neurosurgery in the Heersink School of Medicine, discusses how surgeons respond to real-time MRIs at crucial moments. Because of this technology, UAB surgeons can now target the margins of glioma tumors; confirm proper placement of deep brain stimulators for Parkinson's disease; and use laser interstitial thermal therapy more precisely to eliminate seizures. Dr. Markert discusses the logistics of using an MRI in the operating suite and the vast potential of this suite for other surgical units.

Today our episode feels a little bit like show and tell or career day at school. We are finding out all about what a literary agent does. Our guest this week is Alice Speilburg, the founder of and one of the literary agents at Speilburg Literary Agency in Louisville, Kentucky. She learned her trade working with both publishers and a literary agency in New York City and then Hurricane Sandy happened. Her home in New Jersey was destroyed and she decided it was time to come home to Kentucky. She founded her agency in 2013, and she represents authors like Angela Jackson-Browne and James Markert. Alice gives us a 101 crash course in how it all works and what a writer should know before sending their work to an agent. And she gives us a sneak peak into what book trends we may see in the next few years. Books Mentioned in this Episode: 1- The Enemies of Versailles by Sally Christie 2- Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell 3- Little House on the Prairie books 4- American Girl books 5- Alanna the Knight series by Tamora Pierce 6- His Dark Materials series by Philip Pullman 7- Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett 8- Heresy by Melissa Lenhardt 9- The Love & Lies of Rukhsana Ali by Sabina Khan 10- The Vine that Ate the South by J.D.

Our guest this week, James Markert, is a Renaissance man. He was a tennis pro for over 20 years, a bookstore owner, a screenwriter, and the author of 5 historical fiction novels. His first novel, A White Wind Blew, focused on some local Louisville history with the story of the Waverly Hills Sanatorium, one of the largest facilities in the country for tuberculosis patients during the TB epidemic in the early 1900s. Now Waverly Hills is known internationally for being the home of the haunted but James' imagines what life was like for doctors and patients inside its walls. With the success of that book, James went on to write novels about Oklahoma during the Dust Bowl, a chapel in the woods of South Carolina during World War 1, a bourbon distillery after the end of Prohibition, and a hotel for Alzheimer's patients in California after World War 2. His books are known for combining history with magical realism. Markert has also written multiple screenplays with one being made into a movie and has recently given writing TV shows a try. James talks to us about the downfalls of doing too much research before writing historical fiction, strange things that happen on the movie set of indie films when you are the screenwriter, what books his high school English teacher introduced him to which turned him into a voracious reader, and what genre he originally wanted to write. Books Discussed In This Episode: Midnight at the Tuscany Hotel by James Markert What Blooms From Dust by James Markert All Things Bright and Strange by James Markert Angel's Share by James Markert A White Wind Blew by James Markert The Fireman by Joe Hill Strange Weather by Joe Hill Locke and Key by Joe Hill The Body by Stephen King Watership Down by Richard Adams The Power of the Dog by Don Winslow The Cartel by Don Winslow The Outsider by Stephen King Mr. Mercedes by Stephen King If It Bleeds by Stephen King Fire in the Hole by Elmore Leonard (short story) TV Shows mentioned Justified (Hulu) Locke and Key (Netflix)   You can find us on FB, instagram (@perksofbeingabookloverpod) and on our blog site at www.perksofbeingabooklover.com Perks airs on Forward Radio 106.5 FM and forwardradio.org every Wednesday at 6 pm, Thursdays at 6 am and 12 pm.

People share many things with the dogs in their lives. Unfortunately, that can include a tendency to develop brain tumors. Dogs and humans are among the few species that spontaneously develop naturally occurring brain tumors. Those tumors have a lot in common, too, which has led scientists at the University of Alabama at Birmingham to wonder whether studying tumors in dogs will help treat humans, and whether studying tumors in humans will help treat man's best friend.Dr. James Markert, Dr. Gregory Friedman,and Dr. M.R. Chambers, discuss the latest in brain tumor therapy and when to refer to the specialists at UAB Medicine.
