Sons of Sorrow (eBook, ePUB)
SOME THINGS ARE BETTER LEFT ALONE Henk has been living a relatively carefree life in the city since fleeing the horrors of the town of Sorrow with his brother, Dave. Never would he have dreamt of returning. Not even for her.But time and banality have a funny way of eroding the memory of even the worst experiences, bringing only the better times to the forefront of recall, so when he receives a wedding invitation from the third part of their old monster-fighting trio, he finds himself unable to turn it down.Sorrow has changed drastically from the place it once was, with the murders and suicides that once plagued the town being used as a selling point by wealthy investors to turn it into a morbid attraction for dark tourists.Beneath the costumed mascots and smiling families, is all really as it seems? Or by returning, have Henk and Dave inadvertently awoken an ancient evil far deadlier than anything they've faced before?Sons of Sorrow is the latest bizarre horror from the mind of Matthew A. Clarke.- Shop: buecher

The Dark Obliterator: A Novelette , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 52min
Homicide detective Jack Walsh and his new partner Thomas Harrington are tasked with solving the city's most difficult murders. Yet their most recent case - the shooting of a young, black male named Jordan Smith - has already been solved by a costumed vigilante named The Dark Obliterator. Fearing a sudden wave of impulse vigilantism, Jack and Thomas are tasked with stopping the self-proclaimed superhero, but The Dark Obliterator won't be the only force that Jack has to deal with. There are those in the force and in the community that agree with the actions of the masked man. And to make matters worse, it appears that The Dark Obliterator is rather selective in who he arrests. Does he selectively target certain races, or does he, like Thomas claims, goes after anyone who breaks the law? The Dark Obliterator is a gritty crime novelette about vigilantism as well as racial injustice. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Chris Chappell.

Six Geese a-Slaying , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 442min
Meg Langslow and Michael's house is serving as the marshalling point for the annual Caerphilly holiday parade. The theme is the 12 Days of Christmas, and it features 12 drummers from the school's marching band, 11 bagpipers, 10 leaping lords costumed in medieval finery from the college's drama department, and so on. There are also assorted floats, a live nativity scene on a flatbed truck, the three wise men on Caerphilly Zoo camels, and Santa in a bright-red horse-drawn sleigh. As the organizer, Meg's job is already hard enough, but when her nephew Eric, wide-eyed and ashen-faced, whispers, "Something's wrong with Santa...", things take a tragic turn. It turns out that the local curmudgeon, whose beard and belly made him a natural for the role, has been murdered. Now it's up to Meg and Chief Burke, who is playing one of the wise men, to tackle a twofold mission: solve the murder and save Christmas. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bernadette Dunne.

Meet Phil Snyder: new father, nursing assistant at a cutting-edge biotech facility on Staten Island, and all-around decent guy. Trouble is, his life is falling apart. His wife has betrayed him, his job involves experimental surgeries with strange side effects, and his father is hiding early onset dementia.
