    Pickman's Model, Hörbuch, Digital, 32min
    Pickman's Model is a short story by H. P. Lovecraft, written in September 1926 and first published in the October 1927 issue of Weird Tales. It was adapted for television in a 1971 episode of the Night Gallery anthology series, starring Bradford Dillman.The story revolves around a Bostonian painter named Richard Upton Pickman who creates horrifying images. His works are brilliantly executed, but so graphic that they result in the revocation of his membership in the Boston Art Club and he is shunned by his fellow artists.The narrator is a friend of Pickman, who, after the artist's mysterious disappearance, relates to another acquaintance how he was taken on a tour of Pickman's personal gallery, hidden away in a run-down backwater slum of the city. As the two delved deeper into Pickman's mind and art, the rooms seemed to grow ever more evil and the paintings ever more horrific, ending with a final enormous painting of an unearthly, red-eyed and vaguely canine humanoid balefully chewing on a human victim.A noise sent Pickman running outside the room with a gun while the narrator reached out to unfold what looked like a small piece of rolled paper attached to the monstrous painting. The narrator heard some shots and Pickman walked back in with the smoking gun, telling a story of shooting some rats, and the two men departed.Afterwards the narrator realized that he had nervously grabbed and put the rolled paper in his pocket when the shots were fired. He unrolled the paper to reveal that it is a photograph not of the background of the painting, but of the subject. Pickman drew his inspirations not from a diseased imagination, but from monsters that were very much real. Language: English. Narrator: Peter Coates.

    I Am Moore: All That & Moore, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 360min
    From USA Today best-selling author Celeste Granger Emery Moore moved away from home after finishing her juris doctorate. She was a successful corporate attorney and had been living in Washington, DC, for the past five years. It wasn’t often that she returned home to Atlanta, but the love of her family drew her back. Emery had success in so many facets of her life, but she hadn’t been as lucky in love. The word "love" was unsettling for Emery; it was loaded with notions of submissiveness and sacrifice, the loss of self and being dependent on another person. Notions Emery wasn’t sure she wanted. Yet, there was someone Emery couldn’t shake her soul loose of, and she tussled with her heart and the sensible tug in her mind daily. Evan Stanton, Esq., had been an integral part of Emery Moore’s life for the past six months. He, like she, was an attorney. During the day, the attorneys at law litigated from different sides of the aisle; fighting with everything they had for their clients. But for the past few months, business was left at the door, and the fighting ended as Evan and Emery delved into uncharted territory. Evan loved how Emery felt in his arms. The curve of her hips, the arch in her back made it difficult to keep his hands off her. It wasn’t always like this. Emery had to be pursued, and although Evan was attracted to her unapologetic disposition in the courtroom, along with her sophisticated air, Emery was a challenge; one that Evan planned to take on full steam ahead.This book can be listened to as a standalone. It is interconnected to the All That & Moore series. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Trei Taylor. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/aflo/000008/bk_aflo_000008_sample.mp3.

    Fibonacci for the Complete Idiot: Books for Idiots , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 66min
    Fibonacci discovered a series of numbers that appear relevant to many things in nature. His series has been named the Fibonacci Sequence. He then went on to discover that there is an mathematical relationship between each of the successive numbers in his sequence, which was then called the Fibonacci Golden Ratio.And to make matters even better, but more complicated for the non-scientist to completely understand, Fibonacci learned that a natural curve that exists, an example of which is the one that a wood shaving resembles when using a plane device on smooth down a surface. It is now referred to as the Fibonacci Golden Spiral.The problem with all of these wonderful discoveries is that all most people do is talk about the simplest ones to calculate: the Fibonacci Sequence, because all you have to do is add two numbers together in a particular way, and you have it...but people rarely go deeper than that, so Gene Grossman decided to - and has done with this Fibonacci book the same thing he did with the popular books he wrote entitled Celestial Navigation for the Complete Idiot and Trigonometry for the Complete Idiot: He wrote plain-English explanations that even kids above the age of eight should be able to easily follow - and explain to their parents.... And it goes the other way, too.Like in his other books, there are plenty of explanations and the author's confession about some personal matters and description of the subjects he delved into that he believes will make anyone who listens to this audiobook have better self-esteem. He also guarantees that if you listen to this entire audiobook you will definitely know more things than you knew before you listened to it. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gene Grossman.

    Getting Away with Murder: Benazir Bhutto's Assassination and the Politics of Pakistan , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 408min
    By the lead commissioner of the UN investigation, an authoritative account of Benazir Bhutto’s assassination On December 27, 2007, a suicide bomber killed Benazir Bhutto, the former prime minister of Pakistan. Brilliant and charismatic, the head of a political family as important to Pakistani history as the Gandhis in India or the Kennedys in the United States, Bhutto had recently returned from exile to challenge military dictator Pervez Musharraf in a democratic election. In the aftermath of the assassination, some blamed Musharraf; others blamed terrorists linked to the Pakistani security service, the ISI; still others pointed the finger at Bhutto’s own spouse and entourage; and some speculated that it was a lone wolf attack. Though the individuals behind the conspiracy have never been found, in Getting Away with Murder Heraldo Munoz goes further than anyone else to unravel the mystery of Bhutto’s death. Moreover, he explains the unexpected role America played in the tragic events, the byzantine relationship between Pakistan and the United States, and how Bhutto’s assassination impacted world politics. In a country ruled more often by military dictators than by elected governments, Bhutto offered a secular, democratic hope. Arguably one of Pakistan’s most iconic political figures, she became one of the world’s few female heads of government. Her assassination tore the country apart, destabilizing the entire region. Leading the United Nations’ inquiry, Munoz delved into murky world of Pakistani politics and the infamous Bhutto family, awash in charisma and power, controversy and violence. His year-long investigation frames a story of betrayals, corruption, foreign influence, and unsolved political assassinations. Munoz provides new insight into Bhutto’s unprecedented rise and an unflinching, minute-by-minute narrative of the assassination itself. With impeccable research, Munoz also situates Bhutto in the decades-long hi ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Fajer Al-Kaisi.

    The Bible as Dream: A Jungian Interpretation , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 396min
    In The Bible as Dream, Murray Stein shares important themes in the biblical narrative that from a psychological perspective, stand out as essential features of the meaning of the Bible for the modern listener.The Bible presents a world elaborated with reference to a specific God image. As the mythographer Karl Kerenyi puts it in writing about the Greek gods and goddesses, every god and every goddess constitutes a world. So it is too with the biblical God, whose name Stein exceptionally capitalizes throughout out of cultural respect. The biblical world is the visionary product of a particular people, the ancient Hebrews and the early Christians, who delved deeply into their God image and pulled from it the multitude of perspectives, rules for life, spiritual practices, and practical implications that all together created the tapestry that we find depicted in the canonical Bible. Yahweh is the heart and soul of this world, its creator, sustainer, and destroyer. The Bible is a dream that tells the story of how this world was brought into being in space and time and what it means.Don't miss these timeless lectures - a work of respectful and loving interpretation.Table of Contents: Part I. A Psychological Reading of the Bible Lecture One - On Reading the Bible Psychologically Lecture Two - In the Beginning - Creation Lecture Three - The Shadow Lecture Four - Faith and Individuation Lecture Five - Anima Images Lecture Six - Animus Images Lecture Seven - Election and Adoption - Envy and the Self Lecture Eight - From King to Servant - Ego Relativization Part II.

    Montreal Noir , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 559min
    Akashic Books continues its award-winning series of original noir anthologies, launched in 2004 with Brooklyn Noir. Each title comprises all new stories, each one set in a distinct neighborhood or location within the respective city. Following the success of Toronto Noir, the Noir series explores new Canadian terrain, featuring both English and Francophone authors.  Brand-new stories by: Patrick Senécal, Tess Fragoulis, Howard Shrier, Michel Basilières, Robert Pobi, Samuel Archibald, Geneviève Lefebvre, Ian Truman, Johanne Seymour, Arjun Basu, Martin Michaud, Melissa Yi, Catherine McKenzie, Peter Kirby, and Brad Smith.  From the introduction by John McFetridge and Jacques Filippi:  Montreal is one of the oldest cities in North America and seems to be in a constant state of flux, changing its personality every few decades. Today, the city has its own language: Franglais (or Frenglish). Maybe the first word spoken in that language was noir.... Perhaps it's fitting that a collection that brings so many of Montreal's cultures together is noir. Much of the city's literary tradition was defined by the two solitudes, and most of the works delved deeply into single neighborhoods.... This collection, with voices of French and English writers, visits many neighborhoods and combines them into something that is, if not totally coherent, at least as coherent as the beautiful mess that is Montreal....Each neighborhood is different, and of course, each Montrealer (Montrealais) is different, making up the pieces of the mosaic of our city. Some are bright and shiny, others are darker and somber, but all have a shadow in the noir.   ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Transfixed by Prehistory (eBook, PDF)
    An examination of how modern art was impacted by the concept of prehistory and the prehistoricPrehistory is an invention of the late nineteenth century. In that moment of technological progress and acceleration of production and circulation, three major Western narratives about time took shape. One after another, these new fields of inquiry delved into the obscure immensity of the past: first, to surmise the age of the Earth; second, to find the point of emergence of human beings; and third, to ponder the age of art. Maria Stavrinaki considers the inseparability of these accounts of temporality from the disruptive forces of modernity. She asks what a history of modernity and its art would look like if considered through these three interwoven inventions of the longue durée. Transfixed by Prehistory attempts to articulate such a history, which turns out to be more complex than an inevitable march of progress leading up to the Anthropocene. Rather, it is a history of stupor, defamiliarization, regressive acceleration, and incessant invention, since the "new" was also found in the deep sediments of the Earth. Composed of as much speed as slowness, as much change as deep time, as much confidence as skepticism and doubt, modernity is a complex phenomenon that needs to be rethought. Stavrinaki focuses on this intrinsic tension through major artistic practices (Cézanne, Matisse, De Chirico, Ernst, Picasso, Dubuffet, Smithson, Morris, and contemporary artists such as Pierre Huyghe and Thomas Hirschhorn), philosophical discourses (Bataille, Blumenberg, and Jünger), and the human sciences. This groundbreaking book will attract readers interested in the intersections of art history, anthropology, psychoanalysis, mythology, geology, and archaeology.

    The Riven Gate (Spells of Earth) (eBook, ePUB)
    Desora travels with Captain Brax, his guards, and the rangers to the palace of Horst. Lord Horst, a Dark Fae, rules the northern Wilding. Alliance with him offers the only chance to defeat the eldritch monster attacking innocent creatures of his forest. Yet more than the monster threatens them. Sorcery and magical predators lurk in the forest, waiting to snare them. Desora's elemental Earth is one of the few defenses against the monster. She struggles to discover greater depths to that power. Her broken memory still blocks her. Bloody fate balances death on one scale, destruction on the other. Will she survive her next battle against this monster? *** The fantasy The Riven Gate is the second novella in the three-part series Spells of Earth, part of the greater Fae Mark'd World. The series began with The Wyrded Forest and concludes with The Mysts of Sorcery. If you like elemental power battling twisted sorcery and cold steel clearing paths through magical monsters, then you will love the adventures in The Riven Gate. Writer Remi Black has loved creating magical worlds since a teenager, when she read a much-battered paperback in the Witch World saga by Andre Norton, the Grand Mistress of Fantasy. She writes determined heroines and strong heroes, both with internal conflicts as dire as the sorcerers and monsters that confront them. Look for the Fae Mark'd Wizard series with Alstera, banished when she delved a little too closely into sorcery. First in that series is Weave a Wizardry Web. Remi's first series set in the Wilding is Spells of Air. The young wizard Orielle encounters the proud Dark Fae Lord Skull and Lady Bone as well as a pack of shifted wyre enslaved by a sorceress. The opening book in that trilogy is To Wield the Wind.
