    Haunted Kids: True Ghost Stories , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 143min
    Many kids claim to have seen ghosts in all sorts of places - cemeteries, bedrooms, attics, schools, roadways, forests, caves. Often, experts were called in to investigate these apparent hauntings, and most of the time these so-called experts walked away baffled. The only thing that everyone could agree on was that something very weird had happened, something that could never be fully explained. This first book in Allan Zullo's popular Haunted Kids series is a collection of 11 creepy tales inspired by real-life cases taken from the files of noted ghost hunters. Do ghosts really exist? Well, you'll have to decide that for yourself after listening to such stories as: "What Happened to a Boy Who Knocked Over a Cemetery Gravestone" "How a Friendly Ghost Saved a Baby's Life" "What Evil Force Lurked in the Attic of a Creepy House" "Why the Spirit of an Alley Cat Haunted Three Teens" "How Campers Haunted by a Ghost Solved a Century-Old Murder"So, turn out the lights, turn up the volume, and turn loose the terror! ungekürzt.

    Damn Yankees: Twenty-Four Major League Writers on the World's Most Loved (and Hated) Team , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 487min
    Love them or hate them, the New York Yankees have been an American institution for nearly a century. With their rich history and colorful cast of characters, the Yankees never fail to inspire or provoke. In this exciting compendium, some of today's most acclaimed writers - including Pete Dexter, Colum McCann, Roy Blount, Jr., Dan Barry, Jane Leavy, Charles P. Pierce, J. R. Moehringer, Daniel Okrent, Frank Deford, Bill James, and many more - step up to the plate to take their cuts. The result is a collection of original essays as idiosyncratic and expansive as the team that has inspired them: ruminations on Babe Ruth's gravestone, Derek Jeter's swing, and the upper-deck vantage of the Oldest Living Yankee; dual allegiances; mortal rivalries; and every other subject that spans from the hilarious (the Yankee wife-swap of the '70s) to the sublime (the grace of Catfish Hunter). Superbly written, deeply insightful, and full of both passion and humor, Damn Yankees is a completely fresh look at baseball's most enduring franchise by a Murderers' Row of writers as stacked as that of the 1927 Yanks. ungekürzt.

    A Time for all Things: Collected Essays and Sketches , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 993min
    The finest nonfiction by Ruskin Bond, a singular writer who has inspired and comforted three generations, collected in a single volume.  A lifetime of reading and writing, observation and contemplation is distilled in this comprehensive volume of the best essays, profiles and sketches by Ruskin Bond, the masterly and compassionate chronicler of the small details and lambent moments that capture the essence of a meaningful life. By turns thoughtful, humorous, keenly observed and wise, these essays span more than 60 years of his writing - from reflections on companionship and solitude to lyrical yet finely honed appreciations of nature to nostalgic evocations of bygone people and ways of life. As an essayist, he brings to his travel narratives about the major pilgrimage centres of the Himalaya, or the story about searching for the gravestone of a long-forgotten author, the same empathy and sense of wonder that mark his accounts of glimpsing an elusive leopard or watching the mist rise in a forest of pines.   A Time for All Things contains the finest nonfiction of a singular writer who has inspired and comforted three generations with his sustained, steady and affectionate engagement with life in a world that grows ever more hectic. ungekürzt.

    Bailey's Matilda
    Bailey's Matilda is David Bailey's love letter to Australia, but in typical Bailey fashion it's not what you'd expect. This is no rosy portrait of "the lucky country," but a gritty yet affectionate vision of rural and small-town Australia in the early 1980s: black-and-white images of a dead cockatoo, kangaroo and sheep, of painted advertising for Queensland's beloved XXXX beer, of a gravestone and dead tree trunks against a lead sky. His human subjects are the Indigenous people of Australia, not the descendants of its white colonists. Bailey embraces all the flaws and accidents of his prints-their blurrings, smudges and stains-and enhances them with his own scribbles and crops, creating painterly results. In his own words it's all about chance: "This book should have been washed up in a bottle on the sea shore. All damp with the pages almost stuck together. Just coming apart in the hands of our beachcomber. After a brief look, he takes it to a man he sort of knows at the library. The library man realizes the pages are mostly taken on a Polaroid camera. He dries the pages on a radiator and passes them on to another man that has a small printing press. Now the pages have a sort of accidental history. So after their long journey, the pages end up being printed for anyone to see. That's the story I would like this book to be."

    Thru To You
    Und wieder buddeln Golden Core eine vergessene Perle aus dem German Metal Underground, auch wenn das Wort Hardrock hier ebenso angebracht wäre. 1984 veröffentlichte die Band STARSTRUCK aus Karlsruhe ihr einziges Lebenszeichen: Die LP Thru´ To You. Damit war man regional nicht weit weg von GAMA Records, die ihren Sitz in Kirchheim/Teck hatten und das Potenzial der lokal bereits angesagten Gruppe erkannten. Aufgenommen wurde die Platte im Spygel Studio mit Engineer Batze Kramer. Eben dieser hat auch kultige Scheiben von Bands wie Tyrant, Stormwitch, Bloody Six, Vampyr, Gravestone, Restless oder Necronomicon veredelt. Thru´ To You ist purer Zeitgeist und dazu passt auch das Cover, welches beim genauen Hinschauen viel Humor beweist.Karlsruhe, Stuttgart, Heidelberg melodischer Heavy Metal war in diesem Großraum immer schon mehr angesagt als im Ruhrgebiet oder im Norden. Nur München wurde noch bekannt für seinen Hang zum AOR. Starstruck balancieren geschickt den Mittelweg zwischen Härte und Radiofreundlichkeit, was bei den gut arrangierten Songs und dem spielerischen Können hätte zum Erfolgsrezept werden können. Leider war die Firma GAMA nicht in der Lage, das Album adäquat zu promoten. Immerhin wurde es ein Jahr später auch von Mausoleum (Belgien) lizensiert, 1990 dann auch erstmals auf CD (Aurophon, in der Brainstorm Serie). Golden Core machten auf Starstruck bereits 2021 aufmerksam, denn sie sind mit einem Track auf der Compilation Sound & Action Rare German Heavy Metal & Hardrock Vol. 1 zu finden. Zum ersten Mal gibt es nun eine remasterte Version des kultigen Albums auf CD, später im Jahr auch auf Vinyl. Es wurde Zeit!

    The Time Traveling Texan (eBook, ePUB)
    The training to become a Ranger in the U.S. Army is challenging. But navigating the wild west of Texas in the 1830s is even harder.Jake Duncan is a Ranger in the U.S. Army and a grad student struggling with his history class. He's a regular guy-a former football player who loves beer, takeout, and is on the brink of proposing to his girlfriend, Jenny. One day, he stumbles on a gravestone with his name and correct birth date on it, and his life is changed forever.Before long, he leaves a suburban neighborhood of Austin in his pickup and finds himself stuck-alone-in the year 1836, when Texas was a deserted war zone and the future was uncertain. Jake bonds with an escaped slave, Nate, and together they make their way across the wild terrain, encountering Mexican pilgrims, American pioneers, and Native Americans along the way-some of them hostile. His modern weapons help a bit, as does his 21st-century medical training. He helps deliver a baby, saves malaria patients, and treats battle wounds. He meets a tough-as-nails widow named Kate, and they begin to fall for each other. After weeks in the past, Jake isn't sure he wants to return to 2020. Kate has captured his heart.Will he make it back to 2020 without Kate? Or will Jake decide to stay in the 1800s?A thrilling story that mixes compelling characters with historical fiction, The Time Traveling Texan is an exciting yet intimate portrait of early Texas history. If you like a good cowboy story, passionate romance, and a strange sci-fi twist, you will love The Time Traveling Texan.
