Phantasm

Revenant: A Zoë Martinique Investigation , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 598min

The smart, sassy, single, and "highly original" (says number-one New York Times best-selling author Patricia Briggs) Zoë Martinique is back - and she's seeking clues on the other side.... Zoë Martinique's life hasn't been ordinary for quite a while. First, she developed the ability to travel outside her body at will, where she encountered some seriously weird things - things that left her with powers that she didn't really want or need. Still, a person can get used to almost anything, even being a Wraith, though more often than not, it plays serious havoc with her love life. But for once, Zoë is glad of her abilities. Bodies are showing up all over Atlanta, drained of blood. They're beings from another astral plane, called Revenants - and they're being stalked by her old enemy, the Phantasm. The Revenants are hardly the nicest of creatures - but to preserve the cosmic balance, Zoë will need to put everything on the line to save them. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Frankenstein or, The Modern Prometheus - The Original 1816 Classic, Hörbuch, Digital, 187min

Housebound by inclement weather at a villa near Geneva in 1817 in what has come to be known as, "The Year Without A Summer", a gifted group of writers passed the time by reading then-popular ghost stories and contemplating "the nature of the principle of life." Lord Byron, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and Shelley's wife Mary, who was then only nineteen, all agreed to each compose ghost stories. Mary Shelley's story came to her during a restive night: "I saw the hideous phantasm of a man stretched out, and then, on the working of some powerful engine, show signs of life and stir with an uneasy, half-vital motion." The result of her vision, which she later published as a full length novel, became the most famous and compelling horror story of all time. This performance by Julie Harris delivers a chilling reading of the original work as told by the young Mary Shelley. Curl up on a lonely evening, with lights low and perhaps a storm raging outside and return to the 19th Century to experience the classic evocation of the macabre. Language: English. Narrator: Julie Harris. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/pnix/000645/bk_pnix_000645_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

ODESSA: The Controversial History of the Mysterious Network that Helped Nazis Escape Germany After World War II , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 86min

Cloak and dagger espionage, assassination, dangerous adventure, and strange deceptions such as the Operation Mincemeat plan wherein the corpse of a Welsh pauper fitted with a uniform and false papers deceived the Nazi hierarchy about the location of the Western Allies' first landing in Europe, all constitute as real a part of World War II's kaleidoscopically varied history as battles and clear-cut policies. With such a complex and dramatic struggle, human nature dictates a crop of conspiracy theories also arise. The ODESSA, or Organisation der Ehemaligen SS-Angehörigen (Organization for Former SS Members), appears quite plausible compared to some World War II legends. Next to tales of Hitler attempting to draw power from the Spear of Longinus or the Holy Grail, or the Japanese burying gold in foreign countries which thousands of treasure seekers cannot locate in the years since, the idea of an organization enabling the escape of SS and other Nazis stands as modest and believable. The escape of hundreds of Nazis to South America and the Middle East represents a factual matter of history, not legend. Some of the Nazi hierarchy's vilest members, such as Dr. Josef Mengele and the mass murderer Adolf Eichmann, slipped out of Europe and spent years or decades safe from retribution. There, some evidence strongly suggests, they worked to bring the overthrow of Western democracy, frequently with the wholehearted support of Islamic extremists and the aid of money in Swiss bank accounts. Simon Wiesenthal, the famous Nazi hunter, asserted the ODESSA existed. Some historians propose that Wiesenthal may in fact be the original source positing the network's reality. The reality of the ODESSA, and its successor organizations such as Die Spinne (The Spider) remains a subject of historical debate and contention. Some notable and extremely qualified historians maintain firmly that the ODESSA represents a phantasm, while other authors speak just as co ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Colin Fluxman.
