Marilyn Manson Story: A Rockview Audiobiography, Hörbuch, Digital, 41min
Marilyn Manson, Shock Rockers, and the most controversial rock band on the planet are taking on the world. They are anti heroes and their cult status has been enhanced by the press. They are the acclaimed Kings of Goth, which has its roots in the Shock Rock peddled by bands such as Alice Cooper and Kiss. Lead singer Manson, aka Brian Warner, guitarist Zim Zim, bass player Twiggy Ramierez, drummer Ginger Fish, and Keyboard player Madonna Wayne Gacy have an obvious shock value, and their image has met with hysterical reaction from the "moral majority" and fans alike. This is not a music release by the band or their record company, and sound quality may vary.

Despite the outrageous image of their comedy-of-goth circus, Manson's music is accessible. This unique and revealing interview is for every fan of goth or rock, and music buffs, collectors and music historians. Language: English. Narrator: Pete Bruen, Jean Brun.

The Nervous System: A Dewey Decimal Novel (Dewey Decimal, Book 2) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 535min
This detective story set in a dystopian New York stars “a seriously weird dude... A good time for fans of the likes of Charlie Huston and Charles Stross” (Kirkus Reviews).Nicknamed Dewey Decimal for his obsessive attempts to bring order to the New York Public Library in the wake of disastrous events in the city, the hero of this series earns his keep as a bagman and enforcer for unscrupulous politicians and underworld figures. Now, he’s stumbled upon information concerning the gruesome murder of a prostitute that involves a prominent US senator - and finds himself chasing ghosts and fighting for his life, pursued by private military contractors and the ever-present specter of his own past....“Larson’s vividly imagined world and his quirky narrator are likely to win him a cadre of loyal fans.” (Publishers Weekly)“This intellectual giddy riot is the book of the year... The mystery is taken to a whole new level of technospeak artistry, and wonderfully witty, like John Kennedy Toole if he’d written a mystery novel and did meth - a lot of it. The warmth of the character seeps through in Dewey Decimal’s love for a devastated New York... The most original PI since Marlowe. OCD never seemed so compelling. Loved it - and then some. What a writer.” (Ken Bruen, author of Headstone)“I’m a sucker for a postapocalyptic setting, and Nathan Larson’s is a doozy; but the real gold here is the voice. I could listen to this guy all day.” (S. J. Rozan, Edgar Award-winning author of the Bill Smith/Lydia Chin series) ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: JD Jackson.

The Devil's Chaplain , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 510min
Brilliant... A highly entertaining mystery. (Ken Bruen) Disillusioned with her corporate legal career, attorney Charlotte Ambler volunteers to handle the final appeal of Christopher Ritter, a Florida death row inmate whose execution is imminent. Ritter had been a prominent biologist before being convicted 10 years earlier for the brutal murder of a prostitute. He denies killing the woman but is tormented by guilt for other, secret transgressions. The only appeal he will allow is to prove that he is innocent - a kind of appeal which is almost impossible to succeed. As Ritter relates his sordid life story, Charlotte discovers that innocence is more complicated than she thought. Ritter claims to have been framed by a shadowy figure named Craft, but as Charlotte studies the evidence she concludes that he is a dangerous psychopath who should not go free. Then a piece of evidence turns up that confirms a key part of his story. Pursuing her investigation, she is thwarted by hidden forces that seem determined to see him executed. In a race against the clock, she searches for the elusive Craft and fights to save Ritter in spite of himself. The Devil's Chaplain is a legal thriller in the tradition of Scott Turow and John Grisham - a gripping tale of deception and self-deception, betrayal and violence, in which lawyer and client find common ground in their quest for justice and human values. "A riveting story that hinges on clues so elusive that the tension is exquisitely drawn." (Diane Donovan, Midwest Book Review) ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Neal Arango.
