Night Society , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 348min

It was only supposed to be a game. In a boring suburb, three lonely men seeking distractions from their monotonous routines get together in an abandoned house to play a macabre game of show-and-tell. Nothing is off-limits in their little circle - anything, no matter how depraved, is welcome...so long as it's frightening. But when one member brings what sounds like an audio recording of an actual murder to a meeting, featuring the tortured screams and pleas of an anonymous woman, the jaded club members find themselves truly rattled. From that moment, the horrific audio - and strange visions of the recorded victim - begin to seep into their daily lives. Agonized cries and sobs are heard in otherwise empty rooms. Shadowed figures lurk in unlit corners. Somehow, the mysterious victim is reaching out to them from beyond death. Or is she? Digging deeper, they begin to suspect they're being led back to the abandoned house by something else - something that seeks to consume them, body and soul. And if they aren't careful, it'll get its way. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Joe Hempel. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/101886/bk_acx0_101886_sample.mp3.

Tropic of Squalor: Poems , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 68min

A new volume of poetry from the New York Times best-selling and esteemed author of The Liar’s Club and Lit. Long before she earned accolades for her genre-defining memoirs, Mary Karr was winning poetry prizes. Now the beloved author returns with a collection of bracing poems as visceral and deeply felt and hilarious as her memoirs. In Tropic of Squalor, Karr dares to address the numinous - that mystery some of us hope toward in secret, or maybe dare to pray to. The "squalor" of meaninglessness that every thoughtful person wrestles with sits at the core of human suffering, and Karr renders it with power - illness, death, love’s agonized disappointments. Her brazen verse calls us out of our psychic swamplands and into that hard-won awareness of the divine hiding in the small moments that make us human. In a single poem she can generate tears, horror, empathy, laughter, and peace. She never preaches. But whether you’re an adamant atheist, a pilgrim, or skeptically curious, these poems will urge you to find an inner light in the most baffling hours of darkness. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Sinbad and the Argonauts , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 537min

Two legendary heroes, one incredible destiny. Lost and cursed by treasure, Sinbad is racing to save his mother's realm from an advancing army of monsters. Agonized by his mistakes, Jason has taken the Argonauts on a seemingly impossible quest to alter the past. Their fateful paths cross on an island guarded by monstrous titans and warriors of rock and magma, where they find the secrets of a great crystalline temple are barred to even the greatest of "mere mortals." Forced to seek help, they set off together to confront the demigod Jason left behind: the mighty Heracles. Together the three might have some fighting chance of surviving the dangers ahead; that is assuming they don't kill each other first. Dragon's Game Trilogy creator Kevin Candela blends two classic mythologies of literature and cinematic adventure into a single epic loaded with action, thrills, and laughs. Heavily inspired by the films of Ray Harryhausen, Sinbad and the Argonauts is laden from stem to stern with quirky characters, terrifying monstrosities, determined heroes and heroines, and the type of crazy interpersonal drama that could only come from the admittedly improbable meeting of bigger-than-life people with extraordinary talents. So grab a spot on the rail, feel the breeze, and smell the salt air. And enjoy the sun while you can, because that's a storm on the horizon. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bridger Conklin.

On Edge: A Journey Through Anxiety , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 528min

A celebrated science and health reporter offers a wry, bracingly honest account of living with anxiety. A racing heart. Difficulty breathing. Overwhelming dread. Andrea Petersen was first diagnosed with an anxiety disorder at the age of 20, but she later realized that she had been experiencing panic attacks since childhood. With time her symptoms multiplied. She agonized over every odd physical sensation. She developed fears of driving on highways, going to movie theaters, even licking envelopes. Although having a name for her condition was an enormous relief, it was only the beginning of a journey to understand and master it - one that took her from psychiatrists' offices to yoga retreats to the Appalachian Trail. Woven into Petersen's personal story is a fascinating look at the biology of anxiety and the groundbreaking research that might point the way to new treatments. She compares psychoactive drugs to nondrug treatments, including biofeedback and exposure therapy. And she explores the role that genetics and the environment play in mental illness, visiting top neuroscientists and tracing her family history - from her grandmother, who, plagued by paranoia, once tried to burn down her own house, to her young daughter, in whom Petersen sees shades of herself. Brave and empowering, this is essential listening for anyone who knows what it means to live on edge. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Andrea Petersen.

Building a Financial Fortress: Lessons From the Great Recession for Savers and Investors , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 148min

This audiobook is a re-publication of a blog I started in the depths of the Great Recession in March 2011. During that time, as I agonized over investing, saving, and potential job loss, I developed an investment philosophy I dubbed the “Financial Fortress” and wrote a series of posts about it along with other posts about specific asset classes, investment strategies and related topics. My two biggest successes have been in real estate and precious metals. During the Great Recession, I made some aggressive moves, using retirement savings, to purchase distressed condominiums in Orange County, California. In addition to enjoying positive cash flow while I owned the properties, I have just completed one sale and have a second one in escrow, doubling my money in five years. I also made an aggressive move into silver (US Silver Eagle coins) to watch them triple in value, at which time I sold individual rolls on EBay and kept the rest for future appreciation. The essence of the Financial Fortress is that as savers and investors, we need to first have a strong defense before we can have a strong offense. As volatility in world markets seems to worsen each year and booms/busts become more intense, preservation of capital is paramount but so is finding opportunities to leverage what we have in order to grow our wealth. ungekürzt.

Robert E. Lee (eBook, ePUB)

From the award-winning historian and best-selling author of Gettysburg comes the definitive biography of Robert E. Lee. An intimate look at the Confederate general in all his complexity-his hypocrisy and courage, his inner turmoil and outward calm, his disloyalty and his honor. Robert E. Lee is one of the most confounding figures in American history. Lee betrayed his nation in order to defend his home state and uphold the slave system he claimed to oppose. He was a traitor to the country he swore to serve as an Army officer, and yet he was admired even by his enemies for his composure and leadership. He considered slavery immoral, but benefited from inherited slaves and fought to defend the institution. And behind his genteel demeanor and perfectionism lurked the insecurities of a man haunted by the legacy of a father who stained the family name by declaring bankruptcy and who disappeared when Robert was just six years old. In Robert E. Lee, the award-winning historian Allen Guelzo has written the definitive biography of the general, following him from his refined upbringing in Virginia high society, to his long career in the U.S. Army, his agonized decision to side with Virginia when it seceded from the Union, and his leadership during the Civil War. Above all, Guelzo captures Robert E. Lee in all his complexity--his hypocrisy and courage, his outward calm and inner turmoil, his honor and his disloyalty.

Strip Searched by the Dominant Lesbian: Lesbian Blackmail, Domination & BDSM , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 46min, (USK 18)

Tammy let out her breath and the plane leveled out in its flight over the Atlantic. She had never been nervous about taxying and taking off on a commercial flight before. Of course, she had never smuggled contraband onto a flight before, either. It was amazing how one action, one decision, one agreement could change how one viewed an otherwise mundane activity. How many flights had Tammy taken in her life? She flew overseas three or four times a year to visit family. She and her husband usually flew somewhere twice a year for vacations. Her hobbies had her flying to one city or another every few months. It was not usual for her to be flying somewhere once a month, with a layover of rest once in a while. In her years of flying, no one had ever approached Tammy to smuggle something. She heard plenty of stories about it. Once, she talked to a woman across bathroom stalls while the woman stuck a condom full of designer drugs into...well, into herself. Tammy had not meant to stand there and offer comforting words while the woman did her work. She just happened to hear the woman sigh in an agonized way and reached out with concern. That was the closest she had every gotten to smuggling, yet, here she was!Warning: Contains intense lesbian domination, BDSM, and sex slave themes. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Empath Healing: The Definitive Guide to Stop Absorbing Negative Energy, Deal with Narcissistic People, Control Your Emotions and Develop Self-Confidence , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 202min

Are you the kind of highly sensitive person who feels agonized in someone’s grief or trauma, crouching down to bestow love for the roadside puppy, or live through the pain or loss in a fictional TV show? Then you are definitely an empath.Empathy is a term used to describe an intrinsic trait to recognize and share the emotions of someone else. Empathy is an evolutionary trait bearing a link with some other primates like dogs and rats. Rudimentary empathy starts developing in infants at the age of two, when a kid has an emotional response corresponding to that of another person. An empath is a person with the innate ability to absorb emotions or sentiments of others. Narcissism is the pursuit of gratification from egotistic admiration of one's idolized self-image and attributes. The best ways to deal with a narcissist is to identify them first, their limitations, and then avoid their mind games, determine if an intervention works, and deal with compassion always. An empath should learn self-healing first before healing others and stop being an emotional sponge. An empath should cut connections from all negative thought-forms and be in the presence of like-minded, uplifting, positive people. Also, learn to meditate and control your mind and body. Another suggestive method is a sea-salt bath and use of protective stones.At this point in your life, if you feel that you are an empath and that you need to relieve yourself off from the mental constraints, you will have to buy this audiobook! ungekürzt.

Dakota December and Dakota Destiny , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 499min

Dakota December "Help." A weak voice moaned from the horse’s back. Sheriff Caleb Stenesrude climbed over the gate in a blizzard and reached up in time to catch the woman as she fell. To his astonishment, a small child, hanging on for dear life, fell with her. Under his breath, he thanked the good Lord for bringing them this far and for a dog with a nose and ears to beat all. As the North Dakota storm continued to scream outside the house on the edge of town, Caleb tried to tend to the near-frozen mother and boy. When the woman let out a piercing cry of labor, Caleb realized this would be a Christmas Eve like no other. In the days after, Caleb and the town of Soldahl took Johanna Carlson and her two children into their hearts, but Johanna kept her distance, afraid to tell anyone the truth about her life. Dakota Destiny As folks in Soldahl reel from the war, Pastor Moen’s daughter, Mary, struggles to live with shocking news about the man she loves that arrived by telegram: We regret to inform you that Private First Class Willard Dunfey is missing in action and presumed dead. Thru months of agonized waiting, news came to Soldahl on Tuesday, November 11, 1918 that Victory Day had come. Does she have reason to hope? This volume includes the fourth and fifth books of the Dakota Series featuring the intertwining lives of five inspiring women, all who lived in the early 1900s in the immigrant community of Soldahl, North Dakota. ungekürzt.

Freedom from Fear: The American People in Depression and War, 1929–1945 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1884min

Between 1929 and 1945, two great travails were visited upon the American people: the Great Depression and World War II. This Pulitzer Prize-winning history tells the story of how Americans endured, and eventually prevailed, in the face of those unprecedented calamities. The Depression was both a disaster and an opportunity. As David Kennedy vividly demonstrates, the economic crisis of the 1930s was far more than a simple reaction to the alleged excesses of the 1920s. For more than a century before 1929, America's unbridled industrial revolution had gyrated through repeated boom-and-bust cycles, wastefully consuming capital and inflicting untold misery on city and countryside alike. Freedom from Fear explores how the nation agonized over its role in World War II, how it fought the war, why the United States won, and why the consequences of victory were sometimes sweet, sometimes ironic. In a compelling narrative, Kennedy analyzes the determinants of American strategy, the painful choices faced by commanders and statesmen, and the agonies inflicted on the millions of ordinary Americans who were compelled to swallow their fears and face battle as best they could. Both comprehensive and colorful, this account of the most convulsive period in American history, excepting only the Civil War, reveals a period that formed the crucible in which modern America was formed. Please note: The individual volumes of the series have not been published in historical order. Freedom from Fear is number IX in The Oxford History of the United States. ungekürzt. Language: English.
