Dreams of Sharp Teeth , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 513min
An extravagant sum of money. A brand new car. An extended stay in a luxurious farmhouse. All this to aid a mysterious stranger in a years-old quest to realize a life-long dream.Teenage runaway Josh Keegan first discovers the ad pinned to a bulletin board in a neighborhood coffee house. He then finds it listed in the classifieds section of a weekly newspaper. It almost seems as though the ad, as well as the mysterious stranger who placed it, are following him through the icy city streets.What Josh doesn’t realize is that phoning a response to this bizarre request will forever change his life and his mental state. When he is taken to the remote farmhouse, Josh doesn’t know how far he’ll have to go or how far he’s willing to go to earn his prize. Most frighteningly of all, he has no idea how much he is going to enjoy it. What begins as a test of emotional strength quickly becomes an oft-sought privilege, finally culminates into an overpowering addiction - an addiction Josh will do anything to satisfy.From the author of Plaything comes a dark and twisted experiment in the macabre - one that pushes boundaries and leaves the listener haunted by a barrage of deeply unsettling images. Dreams of Sharp Teeth is a fairy tale darker and more grim than anything Brandon Ford has previously written. It is a startling and powerful novel you won’t soon forget. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Miracle Workers: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 259min
God, bored, decides that Earth has had its day - unless two idealistic angels can make a miracle happen. Welcome to Heaven, Inc., the grossly mismanaged corporation in the sky. For as long as anyone can remember, the founder and CEO (known in some circles as "God") has been phoning it in. Lately, he's been spending most of his time on the golf course. And when he does show up at work, it's not to resolve wars or end famines, but to Google himself and read what humans have been blogging about him. When God decides to retire (to pursue his lifelong dream of opening an Asian Fusion restaurant), he also decides to destroy Earth. His employees take the news in stride, except for Craig and Eliza, two underpaid angels in the lowly Department of Miracles. Unlike their boss, Craig and Eliza love their jobs - uncapping city fire hydrants on hot days, revealing lost keys in snow banks - and they refuse to accept that Earth is going under. The angels manage to strike a deal with their boss. He'll call off his Armageddon if they can solve their toughest miracle yet: getting the two most socially awkward humans on the planet to fall in love. With doomsday fast approaching, and the humans ignoring every chance for happiness thrown their way, Craig and Eliza must move heaven and Earth to rescue them - and the rest of us, too. ungekürzt.
