    The Letters of Abelard and Heloise , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 550min
    The Letters of Abelard and Heloise is one of the most extraordinary correspondences in European history. Written in the 12th century, the letters document the love affair between Peter Abelard, a revolutionary philosopher and biblical scholar, and his beautiful and precocious student, Heloise. Eviscerated by his religious opponents and castrated by Heloise’s family, Abelard is haunted by ill fortune, and the star-crossed lovers are forced into separate lives, as monk and nun respectively, with letters being their only form of communication. What unfolds is tragic and heartbreaking, but also fascinating. The letters gave rise to compelling philosophical, theological, and sociological discussions, and they provide a window into the medieval mind as the everyday lives of the two lovers are laid bare through their passionate discourse. Translation by William Levitan. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.  ungekürzt.

When Getorius is summoned to examine the castrated body of a youth found by Thecla in her Arian church, who is the sobbing "Vestal Virgin" nearby?

A coded message leads to a secret tunnel and the sinister temple of Cybele, whose devotees are self-mutilated eunuchs. In a stunning climax, the conspirators try to escape Ravenna, planning to sell their products in Egypt, but failing to recognize the deadly nature of what they are carrying.… ungekürzt.

    The Sacrifice: A Reverse Harem Fantasy: Airluds Trilogy Series, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 549min
    Having grown up in a harem as the favourite, if not dutiful, daughter of the ruling Godling, Airsha knew what it was for a powerful man to have more than one wife. But for her to have more than one husband, when she would have preferred none at all, felt like just one more way her fate was being taken over by a vengeful goddess. Rescued by four legendary airling trainers when she escapes the harem, Airsha finds herself drawn into an uprising that has rebels planning to replace the Godling with the Goddess' Chosen One: Airsha herself. But having hidden her magic to avoid being castrated, sneaked out of the harem dressed as her twin brother to learn to fight, refused to become her father's human sacrifice, and broken society's rules by falling in love with not just one unsuitable man but four, Airsha was never going to willingly follow the destiny someone else laid out for her. Not even if that someone was the Goddess of all Creation. Contains mature themes. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Fleur Strange.

    Flames after Midnight: Murder, Vengeance, and the Desolation of a Texas Community , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 597min
    What happened in Kirven, Texas, in May 1922, has been forgotten by the outside world. It was a coworker's whispered words, "Kirven is where they burned the [Negroes]", that set Monte Akers to work at discovering the true story behind a young white woman's brutal murder and the burning alive of three black men who were almost certainly innocent of it. This was followed by a month-long reign of terror as white men killed blacks while local authorities concealed the real identity of the white probable murderers and allowed them to go free. Writing nonfiction with the skill of a novelist, Akers paints a vivid portrait of a community desolated by race hatred and its own refusal to face hard truths. He sets this tragedy within the story of a region prospering from an oil boom but plagued by lawlessness, and traces the lynching's repercussions down the decades to the present day. In the new epilogue, Akers adds details that have come to light as a result of the book's publication, including an eyewitness account of the burnings from an elderly man who claimed to have castrated two of the men before they were lynched. The book is published by University of Texas Press. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Todd Waites. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/096578/bk_acx0_096578_sample.mp3.

There’s only one clue to go on - something known as “eros”.  Could the missing scion be connected to the dead man on the beach? And what is the mystery behind “eros"?  Their investigation uncovers an ultra-secret cult whose members perform bizarre rituals.  When Leo goes undercover to get more information, he finds himself face-to-face with a demented killer. Can he escape with the truth? Or, will he fall prey to a psychotic villain who believes that murder is a sacrifice worth making? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Rachel Woods.

    Ransom's Law , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 483min
    Roscoe Ransom returned home from World War I, broken both in body and spirit, drowning his pain daily in a bottle of whiskey. But even alcohol can’t numb the agony of losing his wife or the fear of trying to raise his son, Junior, alone. However, the mind-numbing predictability of Roscoe’s life as a sharecropper and his role of town sheriff - a job given to him out of pity when he returned from the war - is suddenly upended when a black man in their tiny community is murdered and castrated. At 11 years old, Junior longs for his father’s love and attention to fill the void left by the death of his mother, but the person who has grown to fill that role is Willow Muscadine, a Cherokee Indian woman, who lives next door. When she sees him trying to locate the killer that his drunken father can’t - or won’t - find she decides to become Junior’s self-assigned protector. Junior overhears enough in town to realize this was no random murder of a black man. But the more questions he asks, the more dangerous the situation becomes for him, Roscoe, and Willow. When the threats turn deadly, will it be enough to shake Roscoe from his misery in time to save them and find redemption? Or will his personal demons once again win until he’s lost everything and everyone who cares about him? Best selling author, David Johnson, has once again produced one of his trademark “books with heart” and spun a tale that will have you rooting for the underdogs and hoping that good will triumph over evil. ungekürzt.

    We Take Ourselves Very Seriously
    Some artists completely defy categorization by genre. For a long time it seemed as if Mischievous Badger was one of those bands. It's not easy to label a band that combines falsetto croons, ripping Hammond organ, and sequin studded costumes on one album, which is exactly what the band did on their last LP, the sensational Kids These Days. But on their outstanding new release We Take Ourselves Very Seriously, the duo of Carson "Brutha Man" Witte and Chris "Luva Man" McCarthy show that they occupy a genre all of their own, and the only word to describe that genre is FUN! The new album is eclectic, hilarious and a large step up from their last release, but above all, it is just plain good old-fashioned fun for you to enjoy with your whole family. The band kicks things off with a serious slab of white boy funk, the raging jam "You Set Yourself on Fire." Featuring lyrics that rhyme "lust for her ass" with "combustible gas" and a funktastic Hammond organ solo from Chris, the track is sure to be a hit with fans of their smash single "Like a Teddy Bear." Immediately following is the head banging absurdity "Confucian Girls Take Your Money." Carson mourns the loss of his cash to a girl from a Chinese religion, but gets the last laugh when he takes her out to a nice seafood dinner, and never calls her again! He also takes a glorious guitar solo straight out of the AC/DC songbook of 4-note musicianship. Chris meanwhile supplies listeners with a healthy dose of killing Hammond organ and heavily distorted harpsichord. Yes that's correct, these boys put a harpsichord through a guitar amp, showing that they can still go "bach" to their European classical roots. "Wish I Was a Drummer," an instant classic, is the next track on the album. Carson sings about an attempted love affair with a drum set over a New Orleans street beat feel, while Chris takes a phenomenal piano solo that sounds like Oscar Peterson jamming with Bachman-Turner Overdrive. And as if that wasn't enough, the song closes out with a beautiful conch shell solo courtesy of Carson. That's right, a conch shell! Starting off the second half of the album is "Food," a favorite from the band's live show. You can hear the pain in Carson's voice as he struggles to choose between the one he loves and the food he loves so dearly. To emphasize his pain, he swoops up into a breathtaking falsetto that sounds like a beautiful, sparkling, castrated angel. Chris layers on the beauty with Casio synths, melancholy piano, and even more Hammond organ! But wait until the end, when an entire orchestra programmed on Garage Band comes into provide an incredibly climactic finish to the track. The band keeps things relatively mellow for the majority of the next song, "Frog and Toad." Featuring perhaps the most romantic lyrics the band has ever written, Carson and Chris interact beautifully in this piano ballad that compares their lovers to pie a la mode and the beloved children's book series Frog and Toad. But no Mischievous Badger song is ever completely serious, so it is completely fitting that the track fades out with Frog and Toad book titles being shouted out over a funky organ and bongo vamp. Speaking of not serious, fans will be delighted by the hilarious unbridled ridiculousness that is the final track on the album, "Meatloaf." The song tells the story of a young man named Maurice who wishes to woo a girl with his cooking abilities. However, she refuses him when he brings her ham on a wheat roll instead of meatloaf. So in a stunning act of defiance, he steals some meatloaf from his mother's fridge for his love interest. But then he is caught in the act when his mom walks in the kitchen, looking for the stolen meatloaf! She recognizes that he has a passion for cooking, but scolds him for not realizing that true happiness will not come from stealing her meatloaf! Who wouldn't buy a song with such a deep and meaningful plot like this one? And in case fans aren't convinced, they'll be delighted to hear that the album closes out in a very similar fashion to Kids These Days, with a bunch of nonsense being shouted over a ripping organ solo. When you have a band that can combine white boy funk, punk rock swagger, New Orleans rock, a beautiful Pink Floyd-esque epic, touching romantic lyrics and crazy organ solos onto one album, you know you have something special. And Carson Witte and Chris McCarthy are definitely two very special songwriters with high artistic ambitions, a superb lack of maturity, and a great sense of how to have a good time. Download We Take Ourselves Very Seriously, and you will have boatloads of fun listening, guaranteed. It is the sound of two cousins making joyous music that will inspire you to live in the moment and laugh. After all, who wouldn't laugh at that album cover?
