    Serial Killers: True Crime Tales of Cannibal Killers , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 64min
    Listener beware: This book contains disturbing stories of true-life murder. Viewer discretion is advised. Serial killers are known for their brutal disregard of human life. Their methods of murder often involve torture, sexual abuse, and cannibalism. Crime scene images reveal the horrific nature of their actions: stomachs disemboweled, limbs severed, and internal organs removed for later consumption. Some killers hunger for the taste of human flesh. Once they capture their victims, they subject them to horrific torture, before butchering them to death and eating their remains. The acts of violence extend further, to drilling holes in the victims' skull, keeping body parts in pickle jars, stewing the meat, and in some cases, serving it to unknowing guests. This book reveals the life and crimes of these killers, while providing chilling accounts of their savage methods of murder. It describes, in unadulterated form, stories of deranged criminals who targeted men, women, and children alike. Though shocking and difficult to stomach, the crimes described within are all true, and offer a window into the mind of a cannibal killer. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dallan Wright.

    Simmer , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 487min
    Simmer (verb): to stew gently below or just at the boiling point; to be in a state of incipient development  My life was always at a simmer… only stewing, never going anywhere. I was left to fend for myself when it came to affection or love, so I learned to go without.  I refused to let them see how broken and lonely I was; it was much easier to hide behind a false reality. I didn't want anyone's pity. I didn't need it. Pity wouldn't put food on the table or keep a roof over our heads. That was all me.  Now, I have a second chance at a dream long forgotten. It demands hard work and sacrifice - with absolutely no distractions. A recipe I already know all too well, raising a daughter on my own.  Drew Kostas is everything I’ve ever wanted but couldn't let myself have. He’s younger, gorgeous, charming - and relentless. He sees beyond the hardened shell I’ve built to protect myself, coaxing out a softer me I don't recognize. It doesn't matter how I melt in his presence when the heat between us threatens to boil over.  That's the thing about heat. When it rises, everyone gets burned.  Especially when they're foolish enough to fall in love. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Inés del Castillo, Joseph Discher.
