    Charles Paris’ acting career plumbs new depths when he takes the part of a possible murder victim in ‘Public Enemies’, a true-crime television series.

The viewers of ‘Public Enemies’ get caught up in the macabre jigsaw puzzle of death; it is ghastly, of course, but it does make good television.

    Florida Gothic Stories , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 365min, (USK 18)
    Florida Gothic Stories contains 11 of Vicki Hendricks’ best, some previously published and some new to this volume. Hendricks’ stories are riveting and unsettling - some offer surreal sojourns into the dark side of magical realism while others are pure Florida noir, with a full menu of characters twisted and damaged, yet with a gritty determination to survive. Hendricks’ imagination knows no boundaries and plumbs the depths of both the human and nonhuman psyche, where the unexpected waits at every plot twist and animal instincts can kick into action at the snap of a twig. Hendricks is a major stylist, winning high praise from the likes of Michael Connelly, Megan Abbott, and Dennis Lehane. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Christina Thurmond.

    Sleeplessness : Sleep Cycles, Contribution of Sleep to Your Body-Effects , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 59min
    Insomnia is on the rise. Villainous and unforgiving, it’s the enemy of energy and focus, the thief of our repose. But can insomnia be an ally, too, a validator of the present moment, of edginess and creativity? Marina Benjamin takes on her personal experience of the condition - her struggles with it, her insomniac highs, and her dawning awareness that states of sleeplessness grant us valuable insights into the workings of our unconscious minds. Although insomnia is rarely entirely welcome, Benjamin treats it less as an affliction than as an encounter that she engages with and plumbs. She adds new dimensions to both our understanding of sleep (and going without it) and of night, and how we perceive darkness. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sera Sharr.

    The Trumpiad: Book the Second: A Satirical Poem in Twelve Cantos , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 181min
    In this book, the second volume of the satirical epic poem The Trumpiad, Martin Rowe plumbs the depths and details the degradations that, with disturbing consistency, characterized the second year of the administration of the 45th president of the United States, as they had the first. From Melania to Stormy Daniels, Vladimir Putin to Kim Jong-un, Robert Mueller to Omarosa, The Trumpiad invades the consciousnesses of the many characters who inhabited or infected the swamp, and offers a withering satirical take on the state of our politics. Written in the style and verse-form of Don Juan by Lord Byron, this ongoing epic poem is a cri de coeur, a pungent satire, and a richly allusive Jeremiad on the times we live in, as well as a throwback to the mock-heroic epics of Alexander Pope’s Dunciad and Ariosto’s Orlando Furioso. ungekürzt.

    A Woman Is a Woman Until She Is a Mother , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 100min
    In A Woman Is a Woman Until She Is a Mother, Anna Prushinskaya explores the deep life shifts of pregnancy, birth, and motherhood in the United States, a world away from the author's Soviet homeland. Drawing from inspirations as various as midwife Ina May Gaskin, writer and activist Alice Walker, filmmaker Sophia Kruz, and frontierswoman Caroline Henderson, Prushinskaya captures the inherent togetherness of motherhood alongside its accompanying estrangement. She plumbs the deeper waters of compassion, memory and identity, as well as the humorous streams of motherhood as they run up against the daily realities of work and the ever-present eye of social media. How will I return to my life? Prushinskaya asks, and answers by returning us to our own ordinary, extraordinary lives a little softer, a little wiser, and a little less certain of unascertainable things. ungekürzt.

    Transference , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 352min
    In Transference, we meet Liv and Oliver, siblings with a bit of a psychic connection. But what they thought was merely a mental closeness could be so much more, and someone will stop at nothing to uncover their secret. With their family in jeopardy and their freedom on the line, the two must go farther than they imagined possible to save the ones they love. And each other. Angela McCubbins plunges listeners into a world they have only heard whispered about...the world of twin talk. Add to this phenomenon a dash of sci-fi freakiness, and you have the makings of a roller coaster ride that will leave you wondering what else is out there. Set in an all-too-possible present, Transference plumbs the depths of the human mind and a government that will go to any lengths to harness that power. ungekürzt. Language: English.
