The Book of August: Poetry Series by Cole Son 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 21min
The Book of August came fast as the words poured through me, like a fountain that opened up somewhere in the realms, and I was a channel through which the message came. Not giving it a second thought as my pen emptied out across the pages before me. Like blood from a vein, flowing feverishly from a hidden source somewhere in a hidden world. If you love the unthinkable, the undreamable, the unknown, then you will enjoy this journey from this world into other worlds unseen by the naked eye. The magical poems of Cole Son are interwoven with an underlying theme of a long journey on the road of light toward the All. "I never could understand all the words in my head," Cole Son explains, "but I was always writing, and always seeking the reason for being. There had to be more than this world and yes, there is. So much more, it's incredible and so beautiful." Many of his works and some of these poems had been written a long time ago but never before published.

Ghost Light: A Memoir, Hörbuch, Digital, 313min
The celebrated New York Times drama critic and columnist Frank Rich shares an endearing memoir of a childhood transformed by the magic of Broadway. There is a theater superstitions that if the emptied house is ever left completely dark, a ghost will take up residence. To prevent this, a single "ghost light" is left burning at center stage after the audience and all of the actors and musicians have gone home. Frank Rich's eloquent and moving boyhood memoir reveals how theater itself became a ghost light and a beacon of security for a child finding his way in a tumultuous world. Struggling with his parents' divorce and the universal trial of childhood, Rich took refuge in the spectacle and emotion of the great musicals - South Pacific, Carousel, The Music Man -and eventually found a second home at Washington's National Theatre, where as a teen he was ticket-taker. The revered New York Times critic writes lovingly of how his favorite shows, songs, and actors became a lifeline, leading him out of a tumultuous household and propelling him towards the itinerant family of theater, whose romantic denizens welcomed him into the colorful fringes of Broadway during its last glamorous era.

The Company You Keep: Kendra Clayton, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 465min
Twenty-eight-year-old Kendra Clayton never quite broke out of her hometown of Willow, Ohio. She works part-time as a GED instructor and beefs up her income by hostessing at her uncle's restaurant, soaking up the local gossip. It's a quiet life, but Kendra hasn't given up hope that one day Mr. Right will walk through the door. In the meantime, her sleepy hollow is about to get a rude awakening, and Kendra is about to get some excitement - though it's not quite what she had in mind. When her friend Bernie's boyfriend, a notorious womanizer, is brutally murdered, both she and Kendra are implicated in the crime. The only way Kendra can save herself - and the friend she believes is innocent - is by doing some investigating of her own. And the closer she looks, the more suspects she finds. Between Jordan's past and present conquests - and a chain of emptied wallets and vengeful hearts - which one could be a killer? As Kendra's curiosity draws her deeper into the case, she also becomes attracted to a man who may hold the missing piece of the puzzle - if she can survive long enough to put it together. ungekürzt.

The Last Stand of the Great Texas Packrat: A Tale of Books and Obsession , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 25min
Texas Jack Page, on the eve of his 48th birthday, emptied his last seven cartons of books, placing them volume by volume across his front door - a one-man human cask of Amontillado interring himself inside a shining silver Airstream trailer sized aluminum tomb of tomes."The story is a cracker. An ageing book collector called Texas Jack Page looks back over his life, his loves and hopes and regrets, and waxes philosophical about the books that have kept him going. Avid readers and collectors will recognize some of themselves in Texas Jack Page; everyone else will be touched by the pathos of this character. To say more would be to ruin the effect, so I'll say only that this story tugged at my heartstrings while making me smile. I honestly cannot recommend this book enough. The tale is lyrical and knowing, and the chapbook itself is a thing of wonder, created with real affection." (Whispers of Wickedness)"Steve Vernon pays homage to horror authors and bibliophiles in this tale of Texas Jack Page, a collector of books including horror books. Texas Jack’s obsession with his books, starting from an early age, continues to dominate his life and ultimately leads to some very strange developments." (Monster Librarian) ungekürzt.

Beyond the Blue , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 669min
In a Scottish mill town purged of men by war, four unforgettable women navigate a treacherous time, guided only by the bonds of family and their bold dreams of escape. In 1918, rainy Dundee is nearly emptied of men. The Great War has left the town’s women both newfound freedom and servitude. They toil in the deadly jute mills, taking in the children of perished family members and praying their own bodies - and spirits - do not fail them too. A grateful widow of the war, Morag shelters her daughters as best she can: beautiful Caro schemes to escape the working class with well-calculated seduction, while Wallis works in the mill alongside her mother, slowly fortifying both spirit and pocketbook for a more radical departure. Morag’s orphaned niece, Imogen, seeks to understand her fragile mother’s death, and the return of the father who abandoned them. Infused with the longing, courage and passion of its indelible cast of characters, and steeped in the faith and terrors of its time - from the suffragettes and the Easter Uprising to the influenza pandemic and the Tay Bridge disaster - Beyond the Blue is a lyrical, reflective novel about finding purpose and freedom in a place without hope. ungekürzt.

34 Months: Attitude and Survival as a Korean POW , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 283min
For 34 months, while wounded and struggling to survive in Korean War prison camps, Felix Ferranto recited the Lord's Prayer daily and dreamed of being free and with his family. Proper "attitude" and having learned enough of the Chinese language and culture during his time with the American Legation Guard in Peiping, China would be critical for his survival. A radio relay platoon commander in the 1st Marine Division, Felix was wounded at the time of his capture by Chinese forces in November, 1950. During the time he was in captivity, he kept meticulous notes of the other prisoners he met. When one died, he put a rectangle around his name, hiding the papers from his captors in a shaving cream canister that he had emptied. Meanwhile, his family in Oceanside, California, clung to its only thread of hope: a letter his wife received shortly after his capture. The letter was snuck out of the prison camp by a Chinese doctor. It was the doctor's way of repaying Felix for saving his life during an attack by Allied aircraft. In an attempt to electrocute a North Korean major, Felix rigged a radio. The effort was unsuccessful, leading to prolonged solitary confinement. His "attitude," while in the depth of unimaginable, life or death circumstances is what kept him alive. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Derek Botten.
