    Zombie Island: Still Alive, Book Two , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 306min
    Being the hero of a zombie apocalypse ain’t easy. People expect you to defeat lunatics, save survivors, and recover treasure when you would rather just make time with your girl. Mo Collins can’t avoid his scripted destiny; his personal oracle, Smokes, won’t let him. He can still bitch about it, though.The crew of the replica pirate ship, the Viva Ancora, is growing, and the characters of this cast are fulfilling their roles toward destiny. As the group swells, the need to clear the town of the infected and secure Guntersville Island becomes paramount. Isolation from the world will protect them from the naked, blue, undead cannibals - or will it?Something’s not right with these “zombies”; the script is verging into the unwritten. The more contact the team has with their predatory enemies, the less certain they are of their actions. Are they wiping out a plague...or murdering a new order?Follow Mo and his crew as they try to skew fate and carve out their own society on an Alabama lake where the fish bite, the Zombies bite...and sometimes life bites.

    Swell: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 452min
    Thirty years after From Rockaway ["A great first novel" (Harper's Bazaar)], Jill Eisenstadt returns with a darkly funny new work of fiction that exposes a city and a family at their most vulnerable. When Sue Glassman's family needs a new home, Sue relents, after years of resisting, and agrees to convert to Judaism. In return Sue's father-in-law, Sy, buys the family - Sue, Dan, and their two daughters - a capacious but ramshackle beachfront house in Rockaway, Queens, a world away from the Glassmans' cramped Tribeca apartment. The catch? Sy is moving in, too. And the house is haunted. On the weekend of Sue's conversion party, 90-year-old Rose, who (literally) got away with murder on the premises years earlier, shows up uninvited. Towing a suitcase-size pocketbook, having escaped an assisted living facility in Forest Hills, Rose seems intent on moving back in. Enter neighbor Tim - formerly Timmy (see From Rockaway), a former lifeguard, former firefighter, and reformed alcoholic - who feels, for reasons even he can't explain, inordinately protective of the Glassmans. The collective nervous breakdown occasioned by Rose's return swells to operatic heights in a novel that charms and surprises as it unflinchingly addresses the perils of living in a world rife with uncertainty. ungekürzt.

I rake the backs of my red-painted nails across my silk stockings, leaving brief swells to entice. There - more lady thigh you don’t get. Tight satin skirt fabric rides up, shimmering across my lap, announcing my next released button. I amuse myself, recrossing my legs, flexing and lifting the top knee high, rotating one ankle, picturing his tortured anatomy. I wonder how long and thick I’ve made him. I don’t even need to look down - I know there’s a stark white strip of thigh bared proud above my stocking top - oh, my fine lady-flesh, punished under my quivering black garter straps. He drums his fingers on the table. No, you bad little boy. Oh, you want it, but it's all mine. And I’ll never let you near me.I trust once immersed, you'll savour every sizzling second.

    Walk Me to the Corner (eBook, PDF)
    Stability withers where passion blossoms in this cool-toned meditation on mid-life relationships. A loving home and husband; two grown sons; a lakeside cabin with a picnic table where their initials are carved; and the chance encounter at a party that destabilizes it all. Elise is in her mid-fifties and is satisfied with life. But the moment she sees Dagmar, she's entranced. What begins as eye contact transitions to harmless texting, and quickly swells into the type of lust and yearning Elise did not know her life was lacking. Both are happily married and there's trepidation, but they can't resist. The two arrange to meet, changing the course of Elise's stable and consistent life forever. Though Elise's husband attempts to support her exploration, he also begins an affair with a much younger woman-a postgraduate student in her thirties. The cliche of it all is too much for Elise to bear. As her marriage unravels, Elise's love for Dagmar grows stronger. But with Dagmar content to stay in her marriage, Elise is stranded, adrift, completely alone for the first time in her adult life, and searching for someone to blame-the other woman. In the blur of a breakdown, she's left facing the reality that, after all, she started it. In lush watercolor washes and pencil crayons, Anneli Furmark's Walk Me to the Corner is a gorgeous portrait of desire and heartbreak, and the painful gamble the heart sometimes choses in spite of the mind. Translated by Hanna Strömberg.

Mariella, a beautiful woman with great strength and an appreciation for all of the things Nunzio cares about, enters his life, and he calls his holy vows into question.Although their love is pure and strong, Nunzio is married to the church, and Mariella is wedded to Paolo, a man with a violent temper who is capable of heinous abuses. Amidst the romantic scandal, a string of children go missing, and when their bodies are discovered, they are horribly maimed. The townspeople begin to suspect that their young priest, from out of town, could be responsible for the grotesque deaths.When a witch hunt, organized by Paolo, turns the parish against the priest, Mariella discovers an even greater secret is growing inside of her. In their clandestine hours together, Nunzio and Mariella marvel at nature’s resilience to the harshest of conditions, but the shadow’s secrets proves that no creature suffers quite like a man and a woman in love. ungekürzt.

    Inflammation Simplified: Understanding the Basics of the Inflammation Syndrome , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 102min
    When some wound swells up, reddens, and hurts, it may be a sign of inflammation. But generally speaking, inflammation is the response of your body's immune system to an irritant. The offending irritant could be a germ as well as a foreign object like a splinter in your finger. This means that an inflammation does not only start when, for example, a wound has been infected by bacteria, isn't healing properly, or is oozing pus. It starts when your body is already battling the harmful irritant. Many different factors can cause inflammation. The most common include: Pathogens like viruses, fungi, or bacteria External injuries like damage or scrapes through foreign objects. Effects of radiation or chemicals. When a part of your body is inflamed, many different immune cells may be involved. These cells release inflammatory mediators, such as histamine and bradykinin. They cause dilation of the small blood vessels in the tissues, allowing more blood to reach the injured tissues. This explains why inflamed areas turn red and feel hot. Just as the title implies, Inflammation Simplified explains briefly, and in simple words, the basics of inflammation in the human body. Highlights include: The inflammation-disease connection The anti-inflammatory diet plan Steps to fight the inflammation syndrome The anti-inflammatory supplement plan Your honest reviews, criticisms, and recommendations are welcome. Wishing you good health! ungekürzt.

    Special Problems , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 95min
    Over the last few years I've started writing a number of stories that, for various reasons, I never finished writing... So begins Special Problems, the comic tale of Christie Hodges, a writer who can't seem to finish a story. The problem isn't that Hodges has nothing to write about - there's her recent divorce, her paralyzed foot, trouble with her daughter and job - it's that once she starts writing, she can't stop. One problem leads to another, and another. A story that begins with a disastrous Thanksgiving play at her daughter's school swells to hundreds of pages, straining to accommodate the history of every atrocity one set of people has committed against another. Her desk covered with failed drafts, Hodges faces her biggest problem of all: if she doesn't stop trying to say everything, she will end up saying nothing. Desperate for advice, Hodges turns to her mother, a Project Manager at a software company who speaks almost exclusively in corporate lingo: "I'm putting you on a PIP," my mother said. "I don't know what that means," I said. "You know, a PIP," she said. "A Performance Improvement Plan." "Oh God," I said. "I'm giving you a two-week deadline," she said. "I want a finished story on my desk two weeks from today. That's the long and the short of your PIP." All I could think of was the Dickens character. "Sounds like you have great expectations for me," I said. "I do!" she said. "I always have." Part memoir, part fiction, Special Problems is the story of the troubles that carry us away, and the people who guide us home again. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dina Pearlman.
