The Camberwell Tyrant: A Case File from "The Redacted Sherlock Holmes" , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 49min
A Case of Identity saw Holmes unmask some matters involving James Windibank which the Baker Street detective dismissed as trite. By contrast "The Camberwell Tyrant" is the most gothic of the Redacted Sherlock Holmes stories. Louis Westhouse, Windibank's employer, commissions Holmes to investigate Windibank's peculiar behavior in the office. The day after Holmes completes his investigation, Inspector Gregson brings news of three deaths at Windibank's house. Gregson and Holmes investigate but cannot explain the deaths. It is only when the corpses are taken away and the blinds are drawn that Holmes elucidates some truly grotesque events. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Steve White.

Daydream Nation , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 118min
The year is 1989 in Los Angeles, and Miles Jameson is about to graduate from high school. The last big party of high school is approaching, along with the end of a turbulent decade, and Miles has only a vague desire to “work with his hands” (his girlfriend points out that this is a bit trite). Marked with the disaffection and apathy that filled a particular era, and that has always marked adolescence, author John Duncan Talbird gives us a rollicking and bacchanalian look at the challenge of making something of yourself, even when it seems there is little to work with.Ploughshares, the literary magazine of Emerson College. ungekürzt.

Aliens & Anorexia
It's 1996, and Chris Kraus is in Berlin, seeking a distributor for her film Gravity & Grace, described alternately as 'an experimental 16mm film about hope, despair, religious feeling and conviction' and 'an amateur intellectual's home video expanded to bulimic lengths' ...It's 1942 in Marseille, and Simone Weil is waiting for the US entry visa that will save her from the Holocaust, while writing work described alternately as a 'radical philosophy of sadness' and 'immoral, trite, irrelevant and paradoxical' ...It's the late 90s, the millennium is approaching, and Chris Kraus is in Los Angeles, not eating, waiting for her s/m partner to reply to her emails ...It's 1943, and Simone Weil is in London, completing her project of transcendence by dying of starvation ...Filled with Chris Kraus' trademark wit and frankness, unfolding to reveal the lives of ecstatic visionaries and failed artists, Aliens & Anorexia is an audacious novel about failure, empathy and sadness.- Shop: buecher

The Gospel Call and True Conversion: Recovering the Gospel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 381min
The Apostle Paul gave the Gospel the first place in his preaching, endeavored with all his might to proclaim it clearly, and even went so far as to pronounce a curse upon all those who would pervert its truth. Yet how sad it is that many, even among those considering themselves evangelicals, have reduced the Gospel's message to a few trite statements to be repeated and view conversion as a mere human decision. In The Gospel Call and True Conversion, Paul Washer challenges such easy believism as he examines the real meanings of things like faith, repentance, and receiving Christ. He also deals extensively with the effects of saving grace that God promises in the new covenant - namely, the creation of new hearts and new people. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Non-Religious Funeral Readings: Philosophy and Poetry for Secular Services , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 51min
To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die. In recent years non-religious funerals have become more common, but without an established canon of texts to fall back on, it can be difficult to plan an appropriate service for a loved one who had no religious belief or connections. Texts recommended by secular humanists, especially modern texts, can sometimes sound trite or overly informal. This book, however, provides opening sentences, texts, and sentences for committal and/or dispersal from some of the greatest philosophers and writers in history including Marcus Aurelius, Plato, Christina Rossetti, Shakespeare and Rabindranath Tagore. They retain the solemnity, grandeur and dignity of the traditional language of Christian funerals found in the King James Bible and the Book of Common Prayer, but make no dogmatic references to religion, the supernatural or life after death; beliefs which many today do not or cannot hold. Instead, the texts offer a positive philosophical approach to death, and a celebration of the life and memory of the departed. This book will be suitable for anybody planning the funeral of a loved one, or for officiants at secular humanist funerals. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Braxton Wilhelmsen.

The Girl by the Grave: Novel 1 (Volume 1) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 542min
The New York Times best-selling suspense series about the girl next door. It's a twisting psychological roller coaster of secrets, lies, betrayal, and family. I had it. Now it's gone. The loving parents, nice home, and a normal life in the quiet suburbs of Long Island. My aspirations were trite, nothing fancy - a degree so I could get a good job. Make a difference in the world. The wattage on my future was bright, blinding almost. They all expected great things from me, but those things will never come to pass. One night my parents went up in flames, and my ambitions burned along with them. I didn't see the wreck, only pictures afterward. I was supposed to be in that car, with them. Sometimes I wish I went along because it's easier than being here, alone. The cops wrote it off as an accident, a matter of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. The type of thing that happens to other people. Not me. The story that unfolds is a haunting tale that depicts the exact point when a good person breaks and the monster within emerges. After all is said and done, doesn't surviving justify anything? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kitty Bang. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/093319/bk_acx0_093319_sample.mp3.

Untether Your Boat: Face the Storm to Find Your Peace , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 396min
Are you a person at peace? If you’re reading this, I’m guessing the answer is no. But most people don’t even know what peace is, why they need it and, most importantly, how to get it. And today, we need it more than ever.This book Untether Your Boat walks you, step by step, through the entire thought process. I’ve loaded it with simple explanations of some pretty complex scientific concepts. There are tons of great, funny, and personal stories to illustrate each point. I explain, in detail, what peace looks like, sounds like, and feels like, so you will know you are striving toward the real thing, not the cheap knock-offs the world offers.I rely heavily on the Bible for motivation and guidance, but the “how” is very practical. I don’t use “Christianese” or trite, overused phrases and ideas. I guide you to the door of peace and show you how to step inside. To heal the Church in America, to turn the culture away from self-destruction and, most importantly, to put you on the path to true peace, this audiobook offers you the map. And the key to it all is to untether your boat. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Micah Howery. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/202994/bk_acx0_202994_sample.mp3.

The Weird Ones , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 263min
Some stories tiptoe up and whisper in your ear - all sweetness and gumdrops and happy-ever-after-after-there-you-go. Then, there are the weird ones. We're talking talking-chickens, blue plague spam monkeys, tug boats of unbridled and fetid fecundity, tulwar-swinging cab drivers, malls that maul you, gnawing on screwdrivers and jig-lining elder gods coming at you faster than a ride-on mow-down massacre mower shopping cart caravan. This is a collection for the seriously messed up minds of all you listeners who have grown tired of the trite detritus of day-to-day storytelling. These are some of the weirdest, most messed up mind-bending kind of stories that have ever been written - and I'm daring you to listen to them now. "Plague Monkey Spam" - a novella of spider-gods, storytelling and the kitchen sink. "Gnarly Ho-Tep Hoedown Two-step" - a story told over a hand of potato chip poker. "Hunger Time at the Midnight Mall" - a yarn of belly-grumble and fear. "The Last Curl of Gut Rope" - chicken, egg, chicken, egg, crack this riddle if you dare. All of this wonderful madness is brought to you by Steve Vernon - the creator behind the cult novella classic - Long Horn, Big Shaggy: A Tale of Wild West Terror and Reanimated Buffalo. ungekürzt.
