The Immorality Engine , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 548min
Welcome to the bizarre and dangerous world of Victorian London, a city teetering on the edge of revolution. Its people are ushering in a new era of technology, dazzled each day by new inventions. Airships soar in the skies over the city, whilst ground trains rumble through the streets and clockwork automatons are programmed to carry out menial tasks in the offices of lawyers, policemen and journalists. But beneath this shiny veneer of progress lurks a sinister side. For this is also a world where lycanthropy is a rampant disease that plagues the dirty whorehouses of Whitechapel, where poltergeist infestations create havoc in old country seats, where cadavers can rise from the dead and where nobody ever goes near the Natural History Museum. The Immorality Engine is the third in the Newbury and Hobbes series. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Philip Bird.

The Mortuary Arts , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 175min
Katherine O'Donnell was born with a disfiguring strawberry birthmark across the bottom of her face. In 1880s London, that was enough to discourage suitors. Love was something for which she yearned, but never found within her reach. Out of necessity, she became adept at hiding inside her home and behind makeups she formulated and applied herself. When tragedy upended her modest life and dumped her out onto the streets, she was bereft of options. Desperate, she answered an advertisement for a mortuary assistant, applying makeup to cadavers. She knew what she had to do when asked what skills she possessed that qualified her for the position. Kate brazenly used her kerchief to wiped away the concealing powders and stand before them, birthmark revealed and prominent. She learned to find beauty in her newfound art, forming masques to make the dead resemble the living. If only her education had ended there. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kristen Parisi.

Is there an alien craft and two alien cadavers being kept secret at Area 51? Was the contents of that craft really responsible for the invention of mylar, integrated circuit, CMOS image sensors, and the Steal Bomber technology? With our nearest neighbors circling our closest star Alpha Centauri at 4.37 light years away, how could it be possible for any civilization to reach the earth? That’s 25,633,092,000,000 miles away!

The Gray Creatures: Doctor Death, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 366min
Walking cadavers! Bloodthirsty, nauseous gray creatures! In the dank tombs of Egypt where he seeks the secret of resurrection, Doctor Death strikes at his pursuers with the terrible inventions of his warped brain.

Standing against him were the Secret 12, a band of the top U.S. civil and business leaders, headed by Jimmy Holm, a millionaire criminologist and occultist. One of the rare unabashedly supernatural series the pulps ever produced, Doctor Death returns in vintage pulp tales, reissued for today's listeners in audiobook format. Will Murray's Pulp Classics line of audiobooks are of the highest quality and feature the great pulp fiction stories of the 1930s-1950s. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Joey D'Auria.

Paranormal Encounters: Poltergeists, Demons and Possessions, Hörbuch, Digital, 124min
Once thought to exist only as folklore, urban myth, or via non-scientific bodies of knowledge, now we have advanced investigative techniques and devices that prove the existence of spirits, ghosts, entities, and more in the dimensions beyond. This audiobook is not for those with phasmophobia (fear of ghosts), as this collection abounds with horrifying and terrifying encounters. Visit a town with coffins sticking out from under the homes as dozens of mysterious coffins are being unearthed revealing very well preserved, but strangely dressed, cadavers. Below the surface of another town lie the graves of thousands of Irish cholera victims who had come over in the death ships after the Irish famine. The gravestones are starting to emerge through the grass as are the ghosts who are haunting the park and its environs. Various locations on the surface of the Earth have acquired a legendary reputation for being entrances to hell. They feature such phenomena as apparitions of witches, demons, sounds of crying babies, and phantom hitchhikers. Other accounts include homes near cemeteries that have proven to be gateways to the beyond with events happening nightly. Explore these tales of death, murder, haunting, and more. Language: English.

The Beauty of Murder , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 842min
Stephen Killigan has been cold since the day he came to Cambridge as a junior lecturer. Something about the seven hundred years of history staining the stones of the university has given him a chill he can't shake. When he stumbles across the body of a missing beauty queen, he thinks he's found the reason. But when the police go to retrieve the body and find no trace, Killigan has found a problem - and a killer - that is the very opposite of reason. Killigan's unwitting entry into Jackamore Grass's sinister world will lead him on a trail of tattooists, philosophers, cadavers and scholars of a deadly beauty. As Killigan traces a path between our age and seventeenth century Cambridge, he must work out how a corpse can be found before someone goes missing, and whether he's at the edge of madness or an astonishing discovery. A fast-paced page-turner The Beauty of Murder is a speculative crime thriller that travels to the heart of gruesome series of crime by way of a city and a person that have far too many secrets written in blood. ungekürzt.

The Butchering Art: Joseph Lister's Quest to Transform the Grisly World of Victorian Medicine , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 449min
Penguin presents the audiobook edition of The Butchering Art by Lindsey Fitzharris, read by Sam Woolf. In The Butchering Art, historian Lindsey Fitzharris re-creates a critical turning point in the history of medicine, when Joseph Lister transformed surgery from a brutal, harrowing practice to the safe, vaunted profession we know today. Victorian operating theatres were known as 'gateways of death', Fitzharris reminds us, since half of those who underwent surgery didn't survive the experience. This was an era when a broken leg could lead to amputation, and surgeons were still known to ransack cemeteries to find cadavers. And in squalid, overcrowded hospitals, doctors remained baffled by the persistent infections that kept mortality rates stubbornly high. At a time when surgery couldn't have been more dangerous, an unlikely figure stepped forward: Joseph Lister, a young Quaker surgeon. By making the audacious claim that germs were the source of all infection - and could be treated with antiseptics - he changed the history of medicine forever. With a novelist's eye for detail, Fitzharris brilliantly conjures up the grisly world of Victorian surgery, revealing how one of Britain's greatest medical minds finally brought centuries of savagery, sawing and gangrene to an end. ungekürzt.
