    Tenebrion , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 642min
    Amateur film makers inadvertently invoke a demon when they break into an abandoned elementary school to perform and film an authentic Black Mass for their entry into a short movie competition! Dave Priestley reveals his plan to his the movie-making friends - to film an authentic Black Mass in Watsonville’s abandoned elementary school - the site of a horrific tragedy nine years before. Tenebrion - the demon of darkness - makes preparations of its own within the darkness of hell. It requires a specific set of circumstances and human victims to split open a fissure between the worlds and set free its brethren. Tenebrion has been manipulating humans for centuries in order to put things into place, and the movie makers are the unfortunate, final pieces of its nefarious puzzle. Priestley, ever the stickler for authenticity and detail, prepares the Mass and accidentally sets the denizen of Hell free. And whilst Priestley and his sceptical friends attempt to recapture Tenebrion and return it to the dark shadows of the netherworld, it hunts them all down - one by one - for inclusion in its hellish gateway. ungekürzt.

    On the sixth day, there was sorcery. Arthur Penhaligan has wrestled five of the Keys from their immortal guardians, the Trustees of the Will. But gaining the Sixth Key poses a greater challenge than any he has faced before.

She has tens of thousands of sorcerers at her command, and she has been preparing her forces all along for the Will's escape and the activities of the Rightful Heir. As Saturday's schemes become evident, Arthur is beset on all sides. The House is being destroyed, and only the power of the Keys can hold back the tide of destruction.

    Tuff
    From Paul Beatty, the author of the Man Booker Prize winner The Sellout, comes Tuff, a novel as fast-paced and hard-edged as the Harlem streets it portrays. Age nineteen and weighing in at 320 pounds, Winston "Tuffy" Foshay is an East Harlem denizen who breaks jaws and shoots dogs and dreams of earning millions from his idea for Cap'n Crunch: The Movie, starring Danny DeVito. His best friend is a disabled Muslim who wants to rob banks, his guiding light is an ex-hippie Asian woman who worked for Malcolm X, and he married his wife, Yolanda, over the phone from jail. He's funny and fierce, frustrated and feared. And when Tuff decides to run for City Council, this dazzling novel goes from astoundingly funny to acerbically sublime. By turns profound and irreverent, and populated with a hilarious supporting cast, Paul Beatty's Tuff is satire at its razor-sharp best. "An extravagant, satirical cri de couer...Beatty's blunt, impious, streetwise eloquence has a kind of transfixing power." -The New York Times Book Review "Masterfully conceived and highly entertaining...Richly textured and unforgettable."-The Boston Globe

    School Days (eBook, ePUB)
    The new novel from the acclaimed poet and publisher asks fundamental questions about love and sex, friendship and rivalry, desire and power, and the age-old dance of benevolence and attraction between teacher and student. Sam Brandt is a long-term denizen of Connecticut's renowned Leverett School. As an English teacher he has dedicated his life to providing his students with the same challenges, encouragement, and sense of possibility that helped him and his friends become themselves here half a lifetime ago. Then Leverett's headmaster asks Sam to help investigate a charge brought by one of his classmates that he was abused by a teacher. Sam is flooded with memories, above all of his overwhelming love for his friend Eddie and the support of his most inspiring mentor, Theodore Gibson. Sam's search for the truth becomes a quest to get at the heart of Leverett, then and now. The school has changed enormously over the years, but at its core lie assumptions about privilege and responsibility untested for more than a century. And Sam's assumptions about his own life are shaken, too, as he struggles to understand what really happened all those years ago.

    Science...For Her! , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 341min
    Megan Amram, one of Forbes' "30 Under 30 in Hollywood & Entertainment", Rolling Stone's "25 Funniest People on Twitter", and a writer for NBC's hit show Parks and Recreation, delivers a politically, scientifically, and anatomically incorrect "textbook" that will have women screaming with laughter, and men dying to know what the noise is about. In the vein of faux expert books by John Hodgman and Amy Sedaris, Science…For Her! is ostensibly a book of science written by a denizen of women's magazines. Comedy writer and Twitter sensation Megan Amram showcases her fiendish wit with a pitch-perfect attack on everything from those insanely perky tips for self-improvement to our bizarre shopaholic dating culture to the socially mandated pursuit of mind-blowing sex to the cringe-worthy secret codes of food and body issues. Part hilarious farce, part biting gender commentary, Amram blends Cosmo and science to highlight absurdities with a machine-gun of laugh-inducing lines that leave nothing and no one unscathed. Subjects include: this Spring's 10 most glamorous ways to die; tips for hosting your own big bang; what religion is right for your body type; and the most pressing issue facing women today: kale!!! Be prepared to laugh about anything in this outrageous satirical gem. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Megan Amram.

    I Devour, Therefore I Am: I Waited for so Long to Be Free, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 78min
    Enter the new dimension of intensity! Book one of the post-apocalyptic horror that (very easily) could become real. In the first audiobook of the trilogy, I Devour, Therefore I Am, an ancient order must perform a sacred ritual at Stonehenge; the remnants of an ancient prison known to the order as "The Circle of Captivity." Arlana Tristus spent her entire life defying her own destiny, but now she can run no longer. The ritual at Stonehenge has failed, the prison bars have been shattered, and what lies within is unleashed upon the Earth. It spreads like an epidemic, faster than anyone could have imagined. It infects in seconds, silencing the heart and taking control. It feeds on the memories of its hosts, learning about humanity more and more with each person it devours. Meanwhile, a depressed father drinks away his sorrows in his homeland of Ireland. He is trapped a world away from his son and estranged wife, when the quarantines go into effect. He will witness firsthand the power of Earth's newest denizen. Two people, one destiny: to stand against an evil that has waited millions of years to be free. Fail, and it will mean the end of everything you know. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lee Zasloff. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/020925/bk_acx0_020925_sample.mp3.

But when she receives a call from the Los Angeles County Coroner, asking her to identify her lover's dead body, her bright dreams all fade to black.

As Josie searches for the key to understanding his death, she finds herself both repelled and attracted to Michael's pianist mother, Meredith, who holds Josie responsible for her son's torment. Soon, the two women find themselves drawn into a twisted relationship reflecting equal parts distrust and blind need.

With the luxurious prose and emotional intensity that are her hallmarks, Janet Fitch has written a spellbinding new novel about love, betrayal, and the possibility of transcendence.
