The Other Son , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 721min
Alice has been lying to herself for years, holding fast to the belief that the needs of her family far outweigh her own. But her outwardly successful marriage hides dark secrets, and for much of her life the children were the only reason she stuck around. These days, though her successful banker son lives nearby, his young wife seems to do everything she can to keep Alice at bay. As for Alice's other son, he has always been something of a stranger and has been traveling for so long that Alice isn't even sure what continent he is on anymore. Alice can't help but wonder if the effort she expends presenting a united front to the outside world is actually helping anyone and what would happen if she suddenly stopped pretending. Could life, like the novels she devours, hold surprises in its closing chapters? And if she did shake everything up by admitting the truth about her marriage, would anyone be on her side? Has the time finally come for Alice to put her own needs first? For the first time in years, her heart is racing. Can Alice really change her life? Dare she even imagine such a thing? ungekürzt.

Wetbones , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 600min
A flesh-and-soul-devouring addiction runs rampant through the dark playground of the Hollywood elite in this tale of horror from a Bram Stoker Award winner. Welcome to Los Angeles, where every addiction is encouraged....Struggling Hollywood screenwriter Tom Prentice can hardly believe that the emaciated and mutilated corpse lying on the morgue slab was once his ex-wife. Then his roommate’s missing brother turns up in a local hospital having sliced open his own chest and legs for some sick, inexplicable reason. In Oakland, the Reverend Garner, a recovering addict, leaves his ministry in search of his teenage daughter, who was last seen in the company of her ghoulish kidnapper. And the Los Angeles police are meanwhile baffled in their hunt for the elusive “Wetbones” serial killer who leaves nothing of his victims behind except a damp, grisly pile of bones. Though Tom, the reverend, and the LAPD are on separate quests for answers, they are all being led into the darkest shadows of Hollywood, where the debauchery never ceases and pleasure is a drug that devours human flesh, blood, and sanity. But the true source of the all-consuming addiction is the most horrifying revelation of all, for it is not of this rational Earth. From International Horror Guild Award-winning author John Shirley comes a true masterwork of modern terror. It’s decidedly not for the faint of heart. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Gonji, the demon-stalked warrior with the soul of his samurai forebears and the heart of his Viking mother, surges on through legend-haunted medieval Europe, seeking the key to his mysterious destiny… His infamy - and celebrity! - has seen a militant cult spawned by his legend and philosophies. Thus, Gonji must face superstitious persecution from both religious and secular hierarchies, while dealing with deadly human and unknown supernatural assassins dedicated to destroying him and his band of loyal warriors. Facing almost certain death, Gonji must make a grim decision. His ally, the enigmatic golden werewolf Simon Sardonis, has come to him with an earnest plea for help in France against a monstrous enemy of his own: the brutal, shape-shifting Farouche Clan.

Their savagery overwhelms even Simon's formidable power, and now they threaten the woman with whom he has come to share love. But worse still, the Farouche fiends are the vanguard of a tyrannical, inter-dimensional conspiracy. A conspiracy which has insidiously snared Gonji himself in its age-old web of evil dominance. But can even the skillful samurai Gonji and the massive werewolf Simon together raise an effective force against such colossal evil, when the armies of their world refuse to help? Is there any force mighty enough to battle another sphere's dark sorcery, when it devours all before it with…a hungering of wolves? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Brian Holsopple.

A False Reality, Hörbuch, Digital, 61min
From the very moment we are born, the powers and institutions of the planet own us. They give us a number and enter us into a system not only that traps us but that most people have no idea they are even a part of. As we grow we are trained, cajoled, enticed, and manipulated. The very toys we are given to play with are manufactured to control our minds. The food we are given poisons us and ensnares us in a cycle of addiction. The system around us ensures we have no choice but to learn the teachings of an elite that wishes to maintain control over us. By using their own methods against them, we can reveal their subtle ways. The simplest methods, such as AIDA, are used every moment of every day. It begins with A (attention). They then keep our I (interest), build a D (desire), and call us to A (action). Whether it is work, play, or war, these methods are employed to control us, and we don't even realize it. From television to the Internet, from books to music, from groceries to energy, from politics to religion, our lives are not our own. It's time to rip our minds away from the beast that devours our souls and live for ourselves. "Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives." (John Lennon) "Insanity - a perfectly rational adjustment to an insane world." (R. D. Laing) Language: English. Narrator: Simon Oliver.
