Mobshot: My Life and the Mafia , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 549min
Vince Ciacci wanted to be a "Made Guy". From the time he left the brutality of upstate New York's Coxsackie Reformatory, he worked for "Wiseguys", committing armed robberies, collecting for the Mob, and dreaming of the day that he would "get his button". He never made it into the Mafia's inner sanctum. Why? He was too crazy and too violent. Hooked on drugs and alcohol, Vince was a loose cannon, so dangerous that his own crew considered taking him out. This is his story, told in his own voice. It's the story of a guy who, by all rights, should be dead or in prison today. Come along for the ride in a story of true crime like you've never heard before. "Ciacci's colorful New York accent sounds like he's straight from central casting. His delivery is casual and captivating. He presents his life as is, without apology, and often ends his stories with a self-deprecating chuckle that seems to suggest he can't believe his past himself." - Publishers Weekly (audio review) ungekürzt.

Being Oscar: From Mob Lawyer to Mayor of Las Vegas , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 456min
In Being Oscar, one of America's most celebrated criminal defense attorneys recounts the stories and cases of his epic life. The Mafia's go-to defender, he has tried an estimated 300 criminal cases, and won most of them. Goodman's roster of clients reads like a history of organized crime: Meyer Lansky, Nicky Scarfo, and "Lefty" Rosenthal, as well as Mike Tyson and boxing promoter Don King, along with a midget, a dentist, and a federal judge. After 35 years as a defender, Goodman ran for mayor of Las Vegas, and America's greatest Mob lawyer became the mayor of its sexiest city. He was so popular his image appeared on the $5, $25, and $100 chips. While mayor of Vegas, Goodman starred on the big screen in Rush Hour 2 and on TV in CSI. He is as large a character in the history of organized crime as any of his clients and as legendary a figure in the history of Las Vegas as the entrepreneurs (his friends and clients) who built the city. This is his astonishing story - the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Oscar Goodman.

Hot & Horrifying: The First Ladies of Horror , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 353min
Hot & Horrifying: The First Ladies of Horror is a must-hear for all fans of the "Scream Queen" and fans of independent horror as well. The term "Scream Queen" has at times been associated with negative comments from film critics who find the term - and the films it is associated with - to be demeaning, exploitive of women in horror films. Then again, some of these critics have admittedly never seen a horror film, let alone met the actresses they seem so intent on stereotyping. To the author, David [Byron] Boyer, the term is one of endearment, a label of love, one worthy of praise and respect. He has gotten to know these women, inside and out, and has found the inner beauty as well as the scary exterior. He has gotten to know the often unsung heroes of the business, like filmmaker Liz Adams, The Chainsaw Mafia's Shannon Lark, and Dread Central's journalist Elaine Lamkin, whose contributions to their respective fields remain unsurpassed. Thank you, ladies, for being "Hot and Horrifying". What would horror cinema be without you? Featuring interviews with Debbie Rochon, Shannon Lark, Brooke Lewis, Kelli Maroney, Teri McMinn, and many more. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: MJ McGalliard.
