Blues for Cannibals: The Notes from Underground , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 763min
Cultivated from the fierce ideas seeded in Blood Orchid, Blues for Cannibals is an elegiac reflection on death, pain, and a wavering confidence in humanity’s own abilities for self-preservation. After years of reporting on border violence, sex crimes, and the devastation of the land, Bowden struggles to make sense of the many ways in which we destroy ourselves and whether there is any way to survive. Here he confronts a murderer facing execution, sex offenders of the most heinous crimes, a suicidal artist, a prisoner obsessed with painting portraits of presidents, and other people and places that constitute our worst impulses and our worst truths. Painful, heartbreaking, and forewarning, Bowden at once tears us apart and yearns for us to find ourselves back together again.The book is published by University of Texas Press. The audiobook is published by University Press Audiobooks."A thrillingly good writer whose grandness of vision is only heightened by the bleak originality of his voice." (New York Times Book Review)"A major literary work of profound social consciousness.... This is gutsy, soulful, pyrotechnic, significant. And transformative writing."

Magical tattoo artist Dakota Frost is back - fighting a fire that may burn down the world.

Dream Wars: Rising , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 344min
Inception meets War of the Worlds with a sassy female lead. My name is Kit Steele, and I was 10 years old when thousands of alien ships landed all over the world in the year 2020. We thought for sure that we'd be goners, about to be obliterated or terraformed out of existence. But when the ship doors opened, they were...empty. Maybe they were just communication vessels, we thought. But that night, when humanity fell asleep, we were sucked into an alternate dimension. The Dream Wars. A place where the alien ghouls fed off of your body unless you fought back. If you're killed in the Dream War, your body dies on Earth. That was 10 years ago, and I've been training for the Dream War every night since then. Each time I close my eyes and drift off to sleep, I become a merciless killer taking out as many ghouls as I can. It's earned me the rightful title of Commander, and now I protect the rich in their sleep with my team of warriors. But the one thing I didn't expect was that my new client Damien Striker might be able to put a stop to this war if I can keep him alive long enough. Meet the team: Commander Kit Steele - Carnivore, protector of billionaires, has a penchant for blue hair and anything sweet, hates cats, despises the color pink, and loves 80's rock music Medic Ronnie Sotto - Kit's best friend, graduated Harvard medical school at age 15, loves cats, favorite color pink, and once did leg surgery on a cat in the dream war to save its life Lieutenant Brisk Hutchins - Slept with Kit one time, is in love with Ronnie even though she turns him down because he slept with Kit, pretends to like cats, has one of the highest ghoul kill records second to Kit, secretly loves old Britney Spears songs Pyrotechnic expert Nox Lightfoot - Nickname "pretty boy", likes to light things on fire, thinks cats are okay, and would jump in front of a bus if it would bring bacon back ungekürzt.
