The Haunted Hotel: A Mystery of Modern Venice , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 370min
When the Countess Narona meets Agnes Lockwood, the woman jilted by her husband-to-be, she feels a great sense of foreboding. After the marriage, she moves with her husband, Lord Montbarry, to Venice. As much as Agnes tries to forget the episode of her broken engagement, her fate and that of the Countess seem to be inextricably woven. Both are relentlessly drawn to the Palace Hotel in Venice for a final and dramatic encounter, in the room where more than past emotions resurface to haunt them.Loosely based on a case from the annals of French crime, the horror of this mystery comes through the invention of one of the classic Victorian "sensation" novelists, Wilkie Collins, who also wrote The Moonstone and The Woman in White. ungekürzt.

Hell's Half-Acre: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 741min
Welcome to the bloody end of bleeding Kansas.... Based on true events, this unforgettable novel tells the story of the Bloody Benders, a family of grifters and thieves running an isolated feed store on the Kansas plains, boarding travelers along the Great Osage Trail. Beautiful Kate Bender was mysterious and well-versed in the dark arts; Ma and Pa were quiet and foreboding, speaking in guttural tones; and young John Bender was thought to be insane. On land soaked with the blood of conflict, the Benders made their home. And one by one, prairie travelers began to disappear.... Rooted in history, this is a vivid tale of the Benders's origins and how they became some of the most horrific figures in early post-Civil War America. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Fear, and Phobias: The Biblical Solution , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 181min
I have suffered from anxiety, panic attacks, fear, and phobias. These conditions bring you to a dark and foreboding place absent of peace and joy, a place of hopelessness and the dreaded feeling that you are losing your mind. Words cannot adequately describe the absolute terror of a panic attack. I have been there, and Jesus Christ has delivered me. Yes, Christians also can and do suffer from these afflictions. In fact, Christian psychologists confirm that these conditions are just as common among Christians as among non-Christians. But there is hope. This audiobook will teach you biblical strategies and spiritual warfare to help you battle and defeat your anxiety and fears. You will learn dozens of scriptures that will enable you to build a "scriptural barricade" to resist the attacks of the enemy. Hope and peace will return to you. Healing and deliverance are on the way. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Juliet Jones. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/174765/bk_acx0_174765_sample.mp3.

The Turn of the Screw , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 278min
The Turn of the Screw is an 1898 horror novella by Henry James that first appeared in serial format in Collier's Weekly magazine (January 27 - April 16, 1898). Classified as both gothic fiction and a ghost story, the novella focuses on a young governess sent to a remote country house to take charge of two orphans. Unsettled by a dark foreboding of menace within the house, she soon comes to believe that something malevolent is stalking the children in her care. But is the threat to her young charges really a ghostly presence or something else entirely? The novella has been adapted numerous times in radio drama, film, stage, and television, including a 1950 Broadway play, and the 1961 film The Innocents. Most recently, director Floria Sigismondi filmed an adaptation of the novella called The Turning on the Kilruddery Estate in Ireland. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ana Clements.

Beyond Fear , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 228min
When we are fearful, we reveal our hostility toward God. And though this matter of fear is often discussed, it remains among the least treated of our negative emotions. Our neglect to treat fear correctly may be due to the fact that it has a dual effect upon us.Primarily, fear is a part of our primitive survival apparatus, but it also serves to prevent us from attempting great feats - exploits, which lie well within our capacity to achieve, if only we were able to defeat this foe of our aspirations. It is with the latter effect that this book is concerned.In Beyond Fear, the author Patrick Creary teaches us how to overcome fear, subdue it, and withstand all that would crush our indomitable human spirit. He squarely addresses the root cause of this foreboding emotion, tracing its genesis back to the very root of our spiritual insufficiency. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Robert Price.

The Wraith Rock Lighthouse: A Maritime Tale of the Supernatural , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 16min
It was in the twilight of Christmas Eve, 1867, when Cyrus Fernsby first caught sight of the tapering square towered lighthouse on Wraith Rock from the large rowing boat which was conveying him to, what was intended to be, a short term keeper posting. As it emerged with evermore clarity from within the Atlantic sea mist, and the spray of the crashing waves which embraced it, an inexplicable and undeniable sense of foreboding began to seize and permeate the innermost reaches of his soul. Despite the magnificence of its structure and apodeictic aesthetic beauty, the Wraith Rock Lighthouse exuded an irrefragable melancholic malevolence as it rose in spectral majesty from the turbulent ocean; standing quasi-incandescent beneath a meniscus December moon. Nothing could have prepared him for the revelations and events which were about to unfold! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Peter Baker.
