the bitter truth

Die TIKI LOVERS Dark Rum Special Edition ist eine exklusive Kreation, die von den Machern von THE BITTER TRUTH für die Dauerausstellung „Tikimania“ im Museum Fünf Kontinente in München veredelt wurde. Dieses besondere Design stammt von Michael Uhlenkott aus Los Angeles und unterstreicht die Einzigartigkeit des Rums. Diese edle Mischung vereint auf meisterhafte Weise junge Rums, die im traditionellen Pot-Still-Verfahren auf Jamaika hergestellt werden, speziell aus der renommierten Hampden Estate Distillery, die bekannt für ihre schweren Pot-Still-Rums ist. Hinzu kommt Rum aus Barbados, destilliert in der renommierten Foursquare Distillery, der nach einer Reifung von 2 bis 3 Jahren sein volles Aroma entfaltet. Beide Rumsorten stammen von Karibikinseln, auf denen seit dem 18. Jahrhundert Rum destilliert wird. Die Fässer des Barbados-Rums reifen in tropischem Klima, beeinflusst von Meeresbrisen, was zu einer höheren Verdunstungsrate und dadurch einer besonders komplexen und ausgewogenen Spirituose führt. Ergänzt wird die Komposition durch eine kleine Menge frischer Column-Still-Rums aus Trinidad und Guyana sowie einen 3 bis 5 Jahre alten Rum aus Trinidad, der dem Blend eine zusätzliche Dimension von Tiefe verleiht. Der TIKI LOVERS Dark Rum Special Edition besticht durch seine komplexe, reichhaltige und maskuline Struktur. Aromen von Vanille, dunklen Früchten, Melasse und Gewürzen vermitteln den Geschmack der Karibik und verleihen klassischen Cocktails wie Mai Tai, Rum Punch, Fog Cutter oder Zombie das gewisse Etwas.

AIDS and Me | Surviving the Death Zone | A True Biography Volume 1 This is the true story of Sterling, told in the name of a victim. To protect against discrimination and hatred, the victim’s name will remain undisclosed. One moment. One tiny instant that turns your whole life upside down. What if one day you wake up and nothing is as it once was? When your own body suddenly becomes your greatest threat? When everything you thought you knew about a disease violently and mercilessly collides with brutal reality? No one expects life to suddenly pull the ground out from under them. An AIDS diagnosis isn’t just a shock—it’s a death sentence in a world full of prejudice, ignorance, and coldness. But this is more than a fight against a disease. It’s a fight to survive. A fight against a body that slowly destroys itself. A fight against a society that would rather look away than face a bitter truth. This book is more than just a story—it’s a piece of lived reality. In his darkest hours, the person affected began to write down his thoughts and experiences. His journal entries—raw memories, deepest fears, flickering hopes, agonizing despair, and the unbreakable will to never give up—are all captured on these pages. Sterling tells the story as it was lived: honest, unfiltered, and real. Straight from the hell of hospitals where the battle for life raged, into a world that had changed forever. The memories lead through sleepless nights, where the hunger for life was stronger than any pain; through endless, lonely hallways, where every step felt like a small victory—and to moments where even a piece of chocolate or a hot bowl of soup became a feast for the soul. But AIDS and HIV – So Close to Death, Yet So Far Away is not just a story of suffering. It’s a story of courage. Of endurance. Of a person who refused to be ruled by fear.

YOUR SINS WON'T SAVE YOU. 'DARK, BONE-CHILLING AND UTTERLY TWISTED' Deena Helm Trapped in an underwater cave, a group of academics must face a series of deadly, supernatural trials - each one demanding they confront their darkest sins - in this chilling aquatic cult horror debut from Megan Bontrager. Grad student Caro has no idea what she wants to do with her life, but when an opportunity arises to act as a research assistant on an anthropological expedition for her professor and lover, Edward Beck, she doesn't hesitate. Beck assembles a team of academics and professionals to study the ancient sea-based Cult of the Leviathan, and the expedition descends into the sea caves where the cult are said to have dwelt. But when the cave entrance collapses, trapping them inside, the expedition will find they are not alone in the darkness. Surrounded by strange artefacts and scattered bones, an ancient trial has been set in motion. One by one, the members of the expedition will be tested and forced to atone for their greatest sin. . . or die. Praise for The Sea Hides its Dead: 'A thrilling cosmic horror adventure where the monsters are as much within us as without . . . I was thoroughly obsessed - consider me an acolyte!' Jennifer Thorne, author of Diavola 'A captivating, Lovecraftian horror that examines friendships and love and the dark parts of ourselves' Daisy Pearce, author of Something in the Walls 'Bontrager's propulsive novel is a claustrophobic nightmare of wet, squelchy terrors and unflinching truths. Proof that no matter where you go, even in the cavernous depths of a mysterious sea monolith, there you are. You'll be glad to read this on dry land and wrapped in a warm blanket' E.L. Chen, author of One Of Us Is Already Dead 'Dark, bone-chilling, and utterly twisted, The Sea Hides its Dead will drag you into its depths with only a flare to light your way' Deena Helm, author of Our Cut of Salt 'A briny tale of cosmic horror at sea and a harrowing dark academic treatise about the cost of obsession and the wages of guilt. Weird, wild, and unpredictable' Bitter Karella, author of Moonflow 'Dark academia meets survival horror - with a cosmic twist. Megan Bontrager's captivating novel is full of psychological tension and heartbreak, along with truly nightmarish body horror' Ally Wilkes, author of All the White Spaces 'Cursed sea cults and vengeful angels come together in this blood and brine drenched tale. It's probably ill-advised to descend into inexplicable caves seeking eldritch horrors, but Bontrager's atmospheric writing makes the jaunt perilously twisty and terrifyingly entertaining' Tori Bovalino, author of My Throat an Open Grave 'Narrow passageways, hellish trials, eldritch horrors and worst of all - terrible academic men. The Sea Hides its Dead sparks the kind of awe and panic that the best horror delivers. Bontrager doesn't pull any punches' Hester Steel, author of The Faceless Thing We Adore

A USA TODAY BESTSELLER AND A MARIE CLAIRE BEST BOOK OF 2025 For fans of Survivor and Less , this fast-paced debut novel shines an unflinching light on the drama of reality TV when a gay man returns to the cut-throat show he won in his youth after his adult life begins to unravel. "An addictive, immersive love story set against the backdrop of an insane reality show!" -Andy Cohen Following the car accident that ended his football career and left his body scarred, twenty-two-year-old Luke Griffin joins the cast of Endeavor, a new competition-based reality show that pits the tabloids' darlings against one another in tasks of endurance and problem solving. At first, he thrives, effortlessly forming friendships and even a romantic relationship that he thinks will last a lifetime. But Luke has aspirations far bigger than the show's million-dollar prize, and soon a series of betrayals leads to irreversible tragedy, changing the course of his and his fellow contestants' lives forever. Ten years later, Luke's world looks very different: He is now a father of two and the stay-at-home husband to America's only openly gay senator. When his husband's serial cheating is exposed, Luke impulsively joins the cast of Endeavor's latest season in a desperate bid to earn some fast cash. Back on set, he is confronted with everything he tried to leave in the past: bitter rivalries, shattered friendships, and crushing guilt, all of which threaten to tear down the walls he's spent a decade building. As Season 20 of Endeavor kicks off, Luke must give everything to the game, even as he finally learns what it means--and what it costs--to face the truth. Combining the fabulous rivalries of The Traitors with the epic physical stunts of The Challenge, The Book of Luke offers a grounded portrait of what it means to reinvent yourself when no one will let you forget your past-especially if it's immortalized on streaming services. "Bold and provocative, The Book of Luke is equal parts satire and drama, told through the lens of a reality television contestant in the midst of a divorce from his husband. Holder writes with both wit and frankness as he navigates queer identity, reality television, and love." -Lauren Ling Brown, USA Today Bestselling author of Society of Lies

Tiki Lovers White Rum 50% Von der Firma The Bitter Truth mit den gleichnamigen Spirituosen gibt es auch die Marke Tiki Lovers zu entdecken. Bei ihr ist der Name Befehl: Sie richtet sich an alle Fans von Tiki Drinks und ist passenderweise dem Rum gewidmet, den man für solche Drinks braucht. Der leckere Tiki Lovers White Rum und ein brauner Rum / Aged Rum, der lagern durfte, machen bisher das beliebte Sortiment aus. Kennzeichnend für den weißen Rum ist, dass er schon mit seiner Optik auf den Genuss einstimmt. Er greift den Namen auf und präsentiert sich im Tiki-Holzstatuen-Look der Karibikinseln und verströmt damit Exotik und Urlaubsstimmung. Das greift das Trinkerlebnis gekonnt auf. Der unwiderstehlich leckere Tiki Lovers White Rum ist zwar ein weißer, also farbloser, Rum, aber sein Erfolgsgeheimnis liegt in den Details der Herstellung. Für gewöhnlich wird Blanco Rum ohne eine Reifelagerung im Fass abgefüllt. Es gibt aber einige Ausnahmen, bei denen eine kurze Ruhephase in Eichenholz ansteht und denen hinterher durch eine Filterung der blasse Farbton der Flüssigkeit entzogen wird. Genau dies trifft auf den rundum gelungenen Tiki Lovers White Rum aus der Karibik zu. Er umfasst jamaikanischen Rum aus Melasse, der traditionell im pot still destilliert und danach zwischen drei und fünf Jahren gelagert wurde. Eine Holzkohle-Filterung macht ihn kristallklar. Interessanterweise gab man dem Blend noch column still Rum aus Trinidad bei. Produktinformationen zum Tiki Lovers White Rum: Im Aroma punktet der Tiki Lovers White Rum mit Noten von Früchten und Zuckerrohr. Etwas Florales schwingt mit. Der leichte, kräftige, frische Blanco besitzt auch ein bisschen alkoholischen Biss wie ein Overproof Rum, ohne es damit zu übertreiben. Im Geschmack kommen dieselben blumigen, süßen und fruchtigen Töne zum Ausdruck. Der gehaltvolle Tiki Lovers White Rum will dem Genießer gefallen, verzichtet jedoch nicht auf Charakter und Qualität. Die kurze Ruhephase hat dem für Tiki Drinks konzipierten Blended Rum aus Jamaika und Trinidad sichtlich gut getan.
