Run Like Hell: A Few Tiny Tales to Chill Your Blood , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 51min
This is a small gathering of spine-tingling tales in the tradition of old Twilight Zone episodes, EC Comics, as well as the terrors of old radio shows of yesteryear. Written with a modern, cutting-edge patchwork of paranoia, the few tales that are contained within will most assuredly have listeners doing one of two things: scratching their heads or begging for more. This book was written by Steve Gray, who produced such titles as Kane Hodder's Unmasked audiobook, narrated and produced Those Among Us by Daniel Loubier, and narrated and produced The House on Creep Street by The Blood Brothers. This book was written in a haphazard, disturbing style, the way it exited the mind, and the sloppiness of the format is preserved to contain the harshness. Misspellings, dirty words, offensive jargon, and improper use of grammar have all been left as-is in order to convey the overall dark, disturbed overtone. Enjoy! ungekürzt. Language: English.

Alone on the Moon (eBook, ePUB)
May, 1970. A two-person Soviet crew approaches the moon, ready to accomplish the greatest feat in human historyprovided they can overcome their own petty jealousies, and the unforgiving harshness of space. Alone on the Moon chronicles a Soviet moon mission through the eyes of Boris Volynov, a backup who's been pressed into service helping Alexei Leonov (a man he despises) attempt humanity's first lunar landing. Thoroughly researched, it's a detailed and plausible rendition of two larger-than-life personalities facing incredible challenges. It's also a meditation on luck, trust, the nature of observation, and the burden of being chosenplus the way our personal narratives can shape (or poison) our perceptions of the present. Do the stories we tell ourselves shape our fate, or can we write a new chapter? The answer awaits. The titles in the Altered Space series are wholly separate narratives, but all deal with the mysteries of space and time, progress and circularity. Each one is an enso of words in which orbits of spacecraft, moons, planets, and people allow us fresh perspectives on the cycles of our own lives.- Shop: buecher
