    The Sound of Fear (Radio 4), Hörbuch, Digital, 27min
    A door creaks, footsteps echo, someone's breathing - and we are terrified. But why? Sean Street investigates the psychology of fear, so potently sensitive to sound. Talking to musicians, writers, film-makers, neuroscientists, and sound researchers, he investigates how sounds trigger fear. He discovers the importance of context, asks whether sound and fear are culturally specific, and hears how scary sounds are created. He also experiences what might be the most frightening sound of all - absolute silence. An array of scary sounds, noises, and music are woven throughout the programme, from foxes fighting in the north London night to cicadas in the jungle, from the voices of the Daleks to the music from the film Psycho, and from a tiger to a rain drop. The Sound of Fear was produced by Julian May. Language: English. Narrator: Sean Street. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/bbcw/005777/bk_bbcw_005777_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Love on Mars , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 38min
    Honored in the Best American Short Stories 2014, the hilarious and dreamy "Love on Mars" takes us to that melancholy place where even though we desire intimacy, we're too afraid to show our real selves. In Louisville, Kentucky, Dylan, a down-and-out substitute teacher, goes to Craigslist to make a connection and meets a woman who whisks him away to her imaginary life on Mars. Dylan plays along with the ruse; online he's a Sanskrit scholar and penguin hunter in Antarctica. The pair play make believe until they meet in person and continue their imaginary antics in the real world, where they hole up in Dylan's apartment while an enormous mass of breeding cicadas whirl and hum outside. Teeming with paranoia and disconnection, Love on Mars tackles love in a world where it has become easier and easier to lie to each other - and to believe those lies. ungekürzt. Language: English.
