    How to Do Things with Dead People (eBook, ePUB)
    How to Do Things with Dead People studies human contrivances for representing and relating to the dead. Alice Dailey takes as her principal objects of inquiry Shakespeare's English history plays, describing them as reproductive mechanisms by which living replicas of dead historical figures are regenerated in the present and re-killed. Considering the plays in these terms exposes their affinity with a transhistorical array of technologies for producing, reproducing, and interacting with dead things-technologies such as literary doppelgängers, photography, ventriloquist puppetry, X-ray imaging, glitch art, capital punishment machines, and cloning. By situating Shakespeare's historical drama in this intermedial conversation, Dailey challenges conventional assumptions about what constitutes the context of a work of art and contests foundational models of linear temporality that inform long-standing conceptions of historical periodization and teleological order. Working from an eclectic body of theories, pictures, and machines that transcend time and media, Dailey composes a searching exploration of how the living use the dead to think back and look forward, to rule, to love, to wish and create.

    Will Sophie find a way to resist the sheer force of Jared’s presence and keep to her task of filming the investigation? And what will happen when Jared’s past comes back to haunt him and Sophie? Sophie Lauren has achieved a whole lot of success in life. Her achievements as a young videographer have turned into owning her own film studio - the Lauren Studio. And part of owning her own studio means that she’s able to pick the jobs she takes on. So when Jared Beltran - creator and host of the famous ghost-hunting television show - gets in touch with her, her initial impulse is to pass. She’s never been much of a believer in all that hocus-pocus anyway. Still, she agrees to take a meeting with him. After all, from what she’s seen on television, he’s nothing close to hard on the eyes. In person, Jared turns out to be even more gorgeous than Sophie had imagined. She’s instantly, and intensely, attracted to him and the way he composes himself - with charm, with confidence, with dominant, sexual energy. The instant attraction is mutual, and by the end of their meeting, Sophie will agree to much more than just filming Jared’s investigation. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Vanessa Kitchens.

    10 Things I Can See From Here , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 413min
    Perfect for fans of Finding Audrey and Everything, Everything, this is the poignant and uplifting story of Maeve, who is dealing with anxiety while falling in love with a girl who is not afraid of anything. Think positive. Don't worry; be happy. Keep calm and carry on. Maeve has heard it all before. She's been struggling with severe anxiety for a long time, and as much as she wishes it was something she could just talk herself out of, it's not. She constantly imagines the worst, composes obituaries in her head, and is always ready for things to fall apart. To add to her troubles, her mom - the only one who really gets what Maeve goes through - is leaving for six months, so Maeve will be sent to live with her dad in Vancouver. Vancouver brings a slew of new worries, but Maeve finds brief moments of calm (as well as even more worries) with Salix, a local girl who doesn't seem to worry about anything. Between her dad's wavering sobriety, her very pregnant stepmom insisting on a home birth, and her bumbling courtship with Salix, this summer brings more catastrophes than even Maeve could have foreseen. Will she be able to navigate through all the chaos to be there for the people she loves? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Susannah Jones.

    Felonious Jazz , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 397min
    Jeff Davis Swaine digs up evidence for a Raleigh, North Carolina, trial law firm. When a client comes home to find his McMansion burglarized - and his new wife's dog dead in the kitchen - the man suspects his ex-wife. But this is someone far more dangerous. From a stolen minivan, washed-up jazz bassist Leonard Noblac is performing his "perfect jazz album of felonies" to punish the zeros in the soulless suburb of Rocky Falls. He composes a series of musical compositions and meticulously plans out symbolic crimes to go along with each one, believing the notoriety from his crimes will finally make him famous for his music. Used to working from the shadow at the back of the stage, and bitter from his failure to make it in the New York jazz world and his move to the suburbs, Leonard puts down a throbbing beat of crime and destruction. As Leonard’s crimes give voice to his rage, he finds himself able to improvise like never before, with terrifying results. Jeff must find Leonard and save the teenager and newborn he has kidnapped before the musician can write them into the fiery crescendo of Leonard’s album. Author Bryan Gilmer teaches news writing at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. A former newspaper reporter and radio newsreader, he is also the author of the mystery Kill the Story. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bryan Gilmer.
