    Driehoek: Li & Lu, Book 5 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 80min
    Li and Lu are back.They’ve been busy: moving to Holland, enrolling in new schools, gathering paranormal powers, new basketball teams. Apparently, Lu has been working on his paranormal abilities (who knew!?...that’s a paranormal joke) while Li has been studying...math. I know. I know. Both seem preposterous. But which one sounds more feasible? Both defy conventional wisdom, and I personally have no idea. Remember: I’m just the messenger. I wish I could say that I came up with the storylines and weaved them into the perilous suspense thrillers that they have become. But alas, I just “download” the information, and it comes through my fingers and onto the page. A few words from Lu.  ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bradley Charbonneau.

    Hitler's Monsters
    The definitive history of the supernatural in Nazi Germany, exploring the occult ideas, esoteric sciences, and pagan religions touted by the Third Reich in the service of powerThe Nazi fascination with the occult is legendary, yet today it is often dismissed as Himmler's personal obsession or wildly overstated for its novelty. Preposterous though it was, however, supernatural thinking was inextricable from the Nazi project. The regime enlisted astrology and the paranormal, paganism, Indo-Aryan mythology, witchcraft, miracle weapons, and the lost kingdom of Atlantis in reimagining German politics and society and recasting German science and religion. In this eye-opening history, Eric Kurlander reveals how the Third Reich's relationship to the supernatural was far from straightforward. Even as popular occultism and superstition were intermittently rooted out, suppressed, and outlawed, the Nazis drew upon a wide variety of occult practices and esoteric sciences to gain power, shape propaganda and policy, and pursue their dreams of racial utopia and empire.

    The Book with No Pictures , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 9min
    This innovative and wildly funny read-aloud by award-winning humorist/actor B.J. Novak will turn any reader into a comedian. You might think a book with no pictures seems boring and serious. Except . . . here’s how books work. Everything written on the page has to be said by the person reading it aloud. Even if the words say…. BLORK. Or BLUURF. Even if the words are a preposterous song about eating ants for breakfast, or just a list of astonishingly goofy sounds like BLAGGITY BLAGGITY and GLIBBITY GLOBBITY. Cleverly irreverent and irresistibly silly, The Book with No Pictures is one that kids will beg to hear again and again. (And parents will be happy to oblige.) ungekürzt. Language: English.

Why? What Scripture did Jesus deliberately leave out in Nazareth?Who is the “AntiChrist”? Is he alive today? Should we expect a literal Babylon on the horizon? Language: English.

    Pebble in the Sky (eBook, ePUB)
    The third and final book in the Galactic Empire series, the spectacular precursor to the classic Foundation series, by one of history's most influential writers of science fiction, Isaac Asimov After years of bitter struggle, Trantor had at last completed its work-its Galactic Empire ruled all 200 million planets of the Galaxy . . . all but one. On a backward planet called Earth were those who nurtured bitter dreams of a mythical, half-remembered past when the planet was humanity's only home. The other worlds despised it or merely patronized it-until a man from the past miraculously stepped through a time fault that spanned a millennium, living proof of Earth's most preposterous claims. Joseph Schwartz was a happily retired Chicago tailor circa 1949. Trapped in an incredible future he could barely comprehend, the unlikely time traveler would soon become a pawn in a desperate conspiracy to bring down the Empire in a twist of agony and death-a mad plan to restore Earth's tarnished glory by ending human life on every other world.

    The Book of Treasure (eBook, ePUB)
    In their collaborative poetry, Dustin Junkert and Shane Moritz drag the compositional practice of Exquisite Corpse kicking and screaming into the 21st century. The two poets finish each other's sentences with often preposterous élan. Their subjects are projectiles of varying gravity launched at a Ouija board planchette. The scenarios they unfold describe a universe of pop-culture misunderstandings. Somewhere at the intersection of David Berman, Anne Sexton, Robert Pinsky, and Stephen Malkmus lies the lyrebird glory of these poems, their impact amplified by David Nichols's original drawings, whose air of tender perplexity provides a perfect emotional accompaniment. "In The Book of Treasures, curators Dustin Junkert and Shane Moritz expertly constitute a kickass hyper-contemporary below-the-bug-line Cabinet of Wonders.-Michael Martone "These paratactic poems deliver the shifting dimensions of life, but also the quick life of impulse They are acrobatically funny and urbane; they're also slyly imbued with pathos. They revel, actively, in the music of the sentence, especially, and in the weird hum of the contemporary western world. -Laura Newbern
