    The Most Interesting Man in the World: Nikola Tesla , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 500min
    New Saucerian Press proudly presents The Most Interesting Man in the World: Nikola Tesla - one of the last titles ever revised and re-released by the iconic publisher, literary historian, and best-selling author Gray Barker, whose writing informed the plotlines of shows like Star Trek, The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits, Lost in Space, The Jetsons, The X-Files, Twin Peaks, and Futurama.   Shuttling between his Manhattan publishing office and a secluded cabin deep in the hills of his home state of West Virginia, the prolific Barker single-handedly kept public interest focused on "Fortean" topics during the lean postwar years and introduced many paranormal themes still discussed and investigated by today's cryptozoologists, ufologists, and conspiracy researchers: the Roswell UFO crash, men in black, ancient aliens, Nazi UFOs, the Philadelphia Experiment, the Flatwoods Monster, MJ-12, secret underground bases, little green men, time travel, and Bigfoot.   In The Most Interesting Man in the World, Barker carefully explains several of Tesla’s inventions in language the average listener can understand. He also includes articles by Tesla experts Tom Bearden, William R. Lyne, and Fred Bobb, as well as several chapters written by Tesla himself which presage the advent of radio, television, the Internet, satellites, cellphones, and lasers, proving just how far ahead of everyone else Tesla really was. ungekürzt.

    Returning from Heaven can be Hell....Chris Copestakes’s young life ends in a second filled with twisting metal, shattering glass, and her own terrified cry. Against all odds, she wakes up in a hospital and discovers she’s been given a second chance. But there’s a catch. A big one. She’s been returned to Earth in the body of beautiful Hallie DiBarto, the soon-to-be-ex wife of a wealthy resort owner. Thrust into an unfamiliar world of glittering prestige, Chris struggles to hide her identity and make a new life for herself. But the self-destructive Hallie left a legacy of dangerous secrets and angry people for Chris to deal with. And when she finds herself falling for Jamie DiBarto — a man both husband and stranger — her new life becomes wonderful and precarious. Because lurking in the past, both hers and Hallie’s, is a danger that could end it all. Editorial Reviews: "Tina has unforgettable female protagonists and action-packed, almost haunting plotlines."

    Our Miss Brooks, Vol. 1, Hörbuch, Digital, 354min
    Our Miss Brooks was a highly popular radio sitcom that was eventually adapted for both television and film. It starred Hollywood film and New York stage veteran Eve Arden, who specialized in playing the wisecracking friend. She often did it better than anyone else, receiving an Oscar nomination for the 1945 film Mildred Pierce. Since her skill with the wicked one-liner was beginning to lead to typecasting, Arden signed on for the lead in radio's Our Miss Brooks to find a new image. The series centers on Connie Brooks, a sharp-witted, lovable English teacher at fictional Madison High School. Between gentle wisecracks, Miss Brooks dotes on nerdish student Walter Denton, played by Richard Crenna, and frequently locks horns with crusty, cranky Principal Osgood Conklin, played by Gale Gordon. Many plotlines revolve around Miss Brooks' longing for Philip Boynton, the school’s bashful biology teacher. The radio series lasted until 1957, having already made a successful jump to television in 1952 where Arden won a Primetime Emmy for Best Female Star in a Regular Series. Episodes include "Snap Magazine's Model American Teacher"; "Stretch Snodgrass and the English Exam"; "Peanuts, the Great Dane"; "Arguments, Arguments"; "Christmas in July"; "Mrs. Davis' Pensacola Popovers"; "Miss Brooks Takes the Blame"; "Chaperone for the Cereal Bowl Game"; "Connie's Letter to ‘Sandy Clawsss'"; "Babysitting for New Year's Eve"; "Professorship at State U"; and "Making Dinner for Mr. Boynton".

    The Devil All the Time , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 550min
    From the acclaimed author of Knockemstiff—called “powerful, remarkable, exceptional” by the Los Angeles Times—comes a dark and riveting vision of America that delivers literary excitement in the highest degree. In The Devil All the Time, Donald Ray Pollock has written a novel that marries the twisted intensity of Oliver Stone’s Natural Born Killers with the religious and Gothic over­tones of Flannery O’Connor at her most haunting. Set in rural southern Ohio and West Virginia, The Devil All the Time follows a cast of compelling and bizarre characters from the end of World War II to the 1960s. There’s Willard Russell, tormented veteran of the carnage in the South Pacific, who can’t save his beautiful wife, Charlotte, from an agonizing death by cancer no matter how much sacrifi­cial blood he pours on his “prayer log.” There’s Carl and Sandy Henderson, a husband-and-wife team of serial kill­ers, who troll America’s highways searching for suitable models to photograph and exterminate. There’s the spider-handling preacher Roy and his crippled virtuoso-guitar-playing sidekick, Theodore, running from the law. And caught in the middle of all this is Arvin Eugene Russell, Willard and Charlotte’s orphaned son, who grows up to be a good but also violent man in his own right. Donald Ray Pollock braids his plotlines into a taut narrative that will leave readers astonished and deeply moved. With his first novel, he proves himself a master storyteller in the grittiest and most uncompromising American grain. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mark Bramhall.

    Time-Traveling Through Swamp Gas: Strange Tales of Flying Saucer Intrigue from the X-Files of Saucerian Press , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 374min

    Deeply Disturbing Stories You've Probably Never Heard Of. The traditional "spooky" ghost stories that we have all heard about, and have become acquainted with since we were children, usually start and end in a fairly predictable fashion. But beyond these fairly traditional stories of paranormal happenings, there is a whole category of tales that exist that defy this standard bearer ghost flagship, with the sheer bizarre nature of the cast, characters, and plotlines involved.

As mere, hapless bystanders, they found themselves in the process of beginning a strange journey, that they had neither wanted nor prepared for. These accounts of such seemingly random trips down the rabbit hole of reality will leave you speechless. Here is a preview of what's inside: Bizarre Horror: Arianna Grande and the 7th Portal of Hell Bizarre Horror: Bizarre Entities in the Philippines Bizarre Horror: Father Riesinger and the Army of Satan Bizarre Horror: Washington's Ghost and the Confederacy Bizarre Horror: Meddling Mother from Beyond the Grave Bizarre Horror: Sad Haunting at Ball State University And much, much more! ungekürzt.

This most celebrated collections of tales feature shape-shifting and miraculous transportation across continents, powerful jinn who rise like smoke from simple vessels, dreams that delve into the secrets of the subconscious, and gigantic, man-carrying birds. The backdrop for the tales moves from barren deserts to spectacular cities, from the edge of the world to the inner sanctuaries of mighty rulers.

This innovative book offers retellings of a selection of tales that have captured the imaginations of countless people over many centuries. Accompanying each is a contemporary short story that reframes the messages and teachings of the original, specifically written for an adult audience. Here are stories of betrayal and murder, exploitation and sibling rivalry, soul-searching and discovery. The modern parallel tales swap the busy alleyways of old Baghdad for the horror of Saddam's prisons, move from following caravans sweeping across the Sahara to modern day pilgrims trekking along the Caminos of northern Spain, and lift Aladdin out of his cave to unwittingly face Triad gangsters and antiques smugglers. Wayward Baptist ministers, adulterous accountants, and eco-warrior backpackers follow in the footsteps of the no-less colorful characters than those that feature in the original tales. The result is a gripping collection of tales that may continue to bring the mystery and magic of the Nights to life. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Francie Wyck.
