    Into God's Light: My Experiences With a Modern Day Mystic , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 222min
    Without warning my world spontaneously dissolved into a space of bright light, where I was conscious yet unconscious, a condition that lasted anywhere from several seconds to several minutes - I really have no idea - but when it was over and conscious awareness of my surroundings returned, I somehow knew things I hadn’t known before. What I suddenly "knew" was the world was going to change in huge and dramatic ways. I had a part to play in it somehow, and to prepare myself for this uncertain future I was supposed to find a teacher.So began my journey Into God's Light. My search for a teacher led me to a woman unlike any human being I had ever met, someone who would guide my spiritual development for over 20 years. Her name was Lady Enubi, and her incredible connection to the beings of Light and to God Himself led me to experience things that some would say are impossible or simply don't exist. Thanks to her, I learned that they did.  ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Robert Henning. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/176538/bk_acx0_176538_sample.mp3.

    Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) was the leading detective writer of the late nineteenth century. A physician by profession, he soon found writing to be more profitable that medical practice and rapidly gained fame with his tales of the master sleuth, Sherlock Holmes. In The Red-Headed League, Holmes is faced with a bizarre puzzle. His client, a red haired pawnbroker, had answered an odd advertisement from an organisation designed to promote the interests of red haired men.

One morning he arrives at the office to find a notice on the door announcing that the Red Headed League has been dissolved.

    The Murder of Crows , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 48min
    In a near future of zero tolerance, Big Brother is not entirely born of the government. He is also your local news, your social media friends and followers, your neighbors.

It was only a matter of time before someone found a way to capitalize on it. Meet Internet, television, and radio sensation Nick Saint, a man who has built a media empire off the public shaming of both celebrities and average Joes. Lately Nick has noticed a disturbing trend emerging from the culture he's spent so many hard hours at work perpetuating. The crows are no longer interested in the food he's providing, and scavenging for the dirty deeds of others is getting more difficult now that all the world has learned to watch their Ps and Qs. Can Nick continue to find fresh corpses for his starving flocks to feed on? Or will they finally turn on him instead? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Isaac Thorne.

    It turns out, the "Demon Weed" actually is a gateway drug! Who knew? Tom Perkinje certainly didn't. He had never smoked anything in his life, but as the new kid in town trying to make friends, he foolishly let his new buddy Reggie talk him into trying a joint that he'd picked up from a new dealer. Before he knew it, Tom was having a seriously bad trip; a total out-of-body experience where the world had dissolved around him. The next thing Tom knew, there were these deranged myopic wizards from some place called Astlan calling on him in some sort of pig Latin mumbo jumbo. They had somehow mistaken Tom for a demon! He tried to flee, but the wizards were relentless and were determined to conjure him into their world and bind him as their demon slave for all of eternity. And these crazy wizards? Turns out, they were going to war and planned to use their new demon slave as a secret weapon to obliterate the enemy! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Stephen Bel Davies.

    Activities of Daily Living
    How do we take stock of a life-by what means, and by what measure? This is the question that preoccupies Alice, a Taiwanese immigrant in her late thirties. In the off-hours from her day job, Alice struggles to create a project about the enigmatic downtown performance artist Tehching Hsieh and his monumental, yearlong 1980s performance pieces. Meanwhile, she becomes the caretaker for her aging stepfather, a Vietnam vet whose dream of making traditional Chinese furniture dissolved in alcoholism and dementia. As Alice roots deeper into Hsieh's radical use of time-in one piece, the artist confined himself to a cell for a year; in the next, he punched a time clock every hour, on the hour, for a year-and his mysterious disappearance from the art world, her project starts metabolizing events from her own life. She wanders from subway rides to street protests, loses touch with a friend, and tenderly observes her father's slow decline. Moving between present-day and 1980s New York City, with detours to Silicon Valley and the Venice Biennale, this vivid debut announces Lisa Hsiao Chen as an audacious new talent. Activities of Daily Living is a lucid, intimate examination of the creative life and the passage of time.
