    Gruesome Illinois: Murder, Madness, and the Macabre in the Prairie State , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 193min
    The first room they searched was 13-year-old Georgia Dawson’s. “She was lying on her back with her head turned to the right and the entire left side of her skull crushed,” reported one of the men. Her body was lying in the center of the bed, below her blood-spattered pillows. The girl’s head was so badly mutilated that recognition was impossible.For some unexplained reason, the girl had decided to sleep in her sister’s bedroom. She got undressed in her room, dropped her clothes in the middle of the floor, then walked into her sister’s bedroom. Detectives found an open book on the dresser, so they assumed she read for a while before going to sleep.After viewing the body, the men pulled the bed covers back over her and moved onto the next room. William and Charity Dawson appeared to have died not knowing what happened to them. The work of the murderer had been so well done that the wife did not awaken when the blow that killed her husband was struck. Her hands were folded across her bosom as though in peaceful repose. William Dawson’s hands were also folded across his chest, and his pocket watch was still in his pajama pocket - helping to rule out robbery as a motive. And yet, “their heads were almost mashed to a pulp.” The Chicago Tribune named the ax murderer the “Sunday Night Murderer,” because he killed every other Sunday. Fourteen murders were attributed to the maniac, and more were expected unless he was captured before October 29th.On Sunday night, September 20th, he butchered two families in Colorado Springs - the Wayne and Burnham families. William E. Dawson, his wife Charity, and 13-year-old daughter Georgia died at Monmouth, Illinois, on September 30th.Two weeks later, on Sunday, October 15, the Sunday Night Murderer killed Will Showman and his family at Ellsworth, Kansas.Gruesome Illinois is a collection of true-life stories, most of them rescued from old newspaper accounts published ungekürzt.

    Gruesome Iowa: Murder, Madness, and the Macabre in the Hawkeye State , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 230min
    Murder, madness, and the macabre in Iowa? You've got to be kidding!When most people think of Iowa, their minds conjure up pigs, cornfields, and crotchety old farmers. But ax murders, mass killings, and ghostly sightings - those atrocities are reserved for big cities like Chicago or LA, not a little burg like Villisca, Iowa - population 2,000.People refuse to believe that a hundred years ago, every eye in the nation turned to Villisca, Iowa where eight people were butchered in their sleep by a madman using only an ax. Attention quickly turned to the Reverend Lyn Kelley, "a queer, strange, little preacher man", often accused of window peeping.The police forced a confession from him.Kelley said he was walking by the Moore house when a voice commanded him to, "Go in. Slay utterly". What could he do? He climbed the stairs and slaughtered the children. "Slay utterly. Suffer the little children".Back downstairs, he went into the parent's bedroom. "More work yet. There must be sacrifices of blood". Again, the ax did its work.In another downstairs bedroom, he discovered the Stillinger girls, asleep in their beds. "More work still". The ax resumed its work.Eight people were dead. The ax was satisfied.When Kelley recanted his confession, investigators turned their attention to Senator Frank Jones. Old-timers hinted there had been bad blood between Jones and Joe Moore (the deceased) ever since Moore left his position at Jones’ farm implement store and opened the local John Deere dealership.Another rumor had it; Joe Moore was sleeping with Albert Jones’ wife. But that theory didn’t hold water, either. Reports linked Dona Jones to half the men in Villisca.Detectives developed dozens of others suspects over the years, but none of them panned out. The Villisca Ax Murders remain Iowa’s most famous cold-case file.Gruesome Iowa is a collection of true-life stories - most of them rescued f ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Peter Kenyon.

    Kay's Marvellous Medicine
    The brand-new, hilarious book from bestselling, record-breaking author Adam Kay.The olden days were pretty fun if you liked wearing chainmail or chopping people's heads off but there was one TINY LITTLE problem back then . . . doctors didn't have the slightest clue about how our bodies worked.It's time to find out why Ancient Egyptians thought the brain was just a useless load of old stuffing that might as well be chucked in the bin, why teachers forced their pupils to smoke cigarettes, why hairdressers would cut off their customers' legs, and why people used to get paid for farting. (Unfortunately that's no longer a thing - sorry.)You'll get answers to questions like: Why did patients gargle with wee? How did a doctor save people's lives using a washing machine, a can of beans and some old sausages? What was the great stink? (No, it's not what doctors call your bum.)If you're sure you're ready, then pop a peg on your nose (there was a lot of stinky pus back then), pull on your wellies (there was a lot of poo there too), wash your hands (because they certainly didn't) and explore this gross and gruesome history of the human body!Praise for Kay's Anatomy: 'An enjoyably gross look at the human body. Hours of gruesome fun guaranteed' i 'Like listening to a teacher who makes pupils fall about' Sunday Times 'Totally brilliant!' Jacqueline Wilson 'Fun and informative' Malorie Blackman 'Very funny - this exciting book is bound to inspire the next generation of medics' Sunday Express
