    The Hound: H.P. Lovecraft a la Carte No. 5 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 24min
    This is the same reading of "The Hound" that you'll find in Pulp-Lit Productions' 82-hour flagship omnibus collection, The Complete Weird-Fiction Works of H.P. Lovecraft. We've packaged it as an individual file for listeners who just want this story, to save them the expense of buying the whole collection and the trouble of sifting through hundreds of titles. This particularly chilling short story was inspired by a trip that Lovecraft made with Rheinhart Kleiner to the 18th-century Dutch Reformed Church on Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn - and to its adjacent graveyard, full of grave markers dating from the mid-1700s. While there, Lovecraft pocketed a piece of one of the grave markers; and it set him to thinking about the possibilities of a story plot in which a vengeful tomb-denizen, resenting a similar act of souvenir-taking, claws its way out of the grave to track down the desecrator. That story idea led him directly to “The Hound.” ungekürzt.

    Taming the Sun: Innovations to Harness Solar Energy and Power the Planet , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 670min
    Solar energy, once a niche application for a limited market, has become the cheapest and fastest-growing power source on earth. What's more, its potential is nearly limitless. But in Taming the Sun, energy expert Varun Sivaram warns that the world is not yet equipped to harness erratic sunshine to meet most of its energy needs. And if solar's current surge peters out, prospects for replacing fossil fuels and averting catastrophic climate change will dim. Innovation can brighten those prospects, Sivaram explains. Financial innovation is already enticing deep-pocketed investors to fund solar projects around the world. Technological innovation could replace today's solar panels with coatings as cheap as paint and employ artificial photosynthesis to store intermittent sunshine as convenient fuels. And systemic innovation could add flexibility to the world's power grids and other energy systems, so they can dependably channel the sun's unreliable energy. Unleashing all this innovation will require visionary public policy: funding researchers developing next-generation solar technologies, refashioning energy systems and economic markets, and putting together a diverse clean energy portfolio. Although solar can't power the planet by itself, it can be the centerpiece of a global clean energy revolution. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Barry Abrams.

    Blood Bonds : Immortal Curse, Book 5 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 400min
    A night of seduction and pleasure in exchange for information... Caro never should have consented to such a foolish agreement. Now she's on the run for her life with the very being who put her at risk. Sethios saw Caro as a challenge to be conquered. Something new to play with, to pass the time. But their mutual arrangement created a consequence neither of them anticipated. For the seer knows all. She predicts the future. And her newest prophecy changes everything. How far will Caro and Sethios go to protect their destiny and the fate of their unborn child? Sometimes love requires the ultimate sacrifice... "Drop the knife and place your palms against the window."She released the weapon against her will. "That's not necessary," she growled as her hands touched the glass."As you lost, that's not your decision to make." He bent to retrieve the dagger. She had no idea what he did with the other but guessed he pocketed it."What now?" she groused, awaiting his next wave of compulsion."Quid pro quo, angel." He traced the sharp edge down her spine, hard enough for her to feel without drawing blood. "I bled for you, so you will bleed for me."Her eyes widened. "Excuse me?""Shh." He used his opposite hand to gather her hair over one shoulder and kissed the back of her neck. "I'm still deciding where I wish to exact payment, darling. Don't spoil my fun." ungekürzt.

    Ancestor: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 921min
    “The ancestors are out there…you have to believe me.” From acclaimed author Scott Sigler—New York Times best-selling creator of Infected and Contagious—comes a tale of genetic experimentation’s worst nightmare come true. Every five minutes, a transplant candidate dies while waiting for a heart, a liver, a kidney. Imagine a technology that could provide those life-saving transplant organs for a nominal fee...and imagine what a company would do to get a monopoly on that technology. On a remote island in the Canadian Arctic, P. J. Colding leads a group of geneticists who have discovered this holy grail of medicine. By reverse-engineering the genomes of thousands of mammals, Colding's team has dialed back the evolutionary clock to re-create humankind’s common ancestor. The method? Illegal. The result? A computer-engineered living creature, an animal whose organs can be implanted in any person, and with no chance of transplant rejection. There's just one problem: these ancestors are not the docile herd animals that Colding's team envisioned. Instead, Colding’s work has given birth to something big, something evil. With these killer creatures on the prowl, Colding and the woman he loves must fight to survive — even as government agents close in to shut the project down, and the deep-pocketed company backing this research proves to have its own cold-blooded agenda. As the creators become the prey in the ultimate battle for survival, Scott Sigler takes listeners on the ultimate thrill-ride—and offers a chilling cautionary account of what can happen when hubris, greed, and madness drive scientific experimentation past the brink of reason. ungekürzt.

    Legal Cannabis Will Be Bigger Than Cryptos : Learn Why You Should Invest Right Now: A Beginner Guide to CBD Investing , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 160min
    You are about to discover how to invest and reap super-normal profits in the legalized cannabis industry before the masses get in If you invested just $100 in Bitcoin between February and April of 2011 (when one bitcoin was worth $1), you would have been worth $1.98 million in 2017, at the height of cryptocurrency boom, when one bitcoin sold for a staggering 19,783.06! The truth is: most of us could still afford to spare $100 and forget about it back in 2011 but we didn’t. We would have made a fortune, but we didn’t! If only we could roll back the clock, many of us would have invested in cryptocurrencies when the market was still young and unchartered.Unfortunately, that ship has sailed and even if you invest in cryptocurrencies today, you really shouldn’t expect such kind of profits. These opportunities tend to be rare and far between so if you spot one, you shouldn’t hesitate to jump right in!The opportunity at hand these days is in the legal cannabis industry! Despite legal cannabis being only legal in slightly over 20 states and not being legal at a federal level, experts estimate it to be a $200 billion industry, far more than the $20 billion circulating in the cryptocurrency industry! Just imagine how big the industry will be when legal cannabis is legal at a federal level and all states legalize it coupled with legalization of legal cannabis in several countries around the world.Do you see where this is headed: boom! Big pocketed investors like JP Morgan and Guggenheim have already started taking interest in legal cannabis by raising venture capital to invest big in the industry.Don’t be left behind. The question is; how exactly do you go about investing in legal cannabis? As is, cannabis is illegal at a federal level and still illegal in almost half of the states. This means a misstep could land you in unnecessary leg ungekürzt. Language: English.

    No Regrets, No Remorse: A Sydney Simone Mystery , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 402min
    Her job is to insure that your wrongs are righted. Sydney Simone, herself a type of casualty, is dedicated to helping those whose wrongs can't be righted by orthodox means. Via a cloaked website and identity, she first verifies the client's story and then accepts payment: half up front, half on completion of her work. Usually it's a form of human pest control. For cover, Sydney works as an assistant at the Rose Madder Gallery in West Palm Beach run by Oscar Leopold. Oscar, a sculptor, has left his law practice behind. But now Roy, his former partner, has been arrested for murdering Big Jack, an attorney with a sleazy television advertising presence. At the same time, Sydney is dealing with a client who has seemingly penetrated her defenses and demands she complete a job, namely, rubbing out Big Jack - an assignment for which she has already pocketed an unusually large fee. So now, to save herself, Oscar, and Roy, Sydney must switch gears, even as she continues to operate HumanPestControl.com. Teaming with Oscar isn't easy, since she can't tell him all she knows, but soon their investigation leads to a complex scheme of insurance fraud that implicates Roy - perhaps he really is guilty. But Oscar becomes an investigative target himself, and as he tries to find the true killer, he is arrested, kidnapped, and assaulted. Whether in the corporate offices of south Florida or the backwaters of the panhandle, the perpetrators are dangerous and desperate to keep their careers, their freedom, even their lives. Oscar and Sydney, with their own lives and livelihoods at stake, must up their game - a game that Sydney may have to reveal to survive. R. F. Sharp, an attorney and professional sculptor, practiced law for thirty-four years and wrote two nonfiction books in the legal field before beginning to write fiction. ungekürzt. Language: English.
