Christa and the Blacksmith , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 61min, (USK 18)
Poor Christa! Not only does her buxom, well endowed friend, Maisie, get all the attention from boys, now Christa discovers that her horse, Sherman, needs four new shoes or he will go lame. What a dilemma for Christa. She has no money and no way of getting any so she goes to the blacksmith, the aptly named Jake Brutus to see if she can help in the smithy as a way of paying for the shoes. But the kind of recompense Jake has in mind does not involve working the bellows. Christa begins this sex story a virgin, but Jake's erotic sensuality proves too much for her. On the first day to "earn' a shoe for Sherman she learns things she certainly did not know before. But Jake has awakened the previously sexually dormant Christa to such an extent that her dreams are filled with adult erotica and fantasy. Christa and the Blacksmith is a sexual adult fantasy of genuine quality. As an adult only sex story it possesses everything a reader could possibly want from a sex fantasy tale. ungekürzt.

The Woodlanders , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 983min
This novel was described as one of Hardys' best and indeed one of the better novels of the latter part of the 19th century. With its publication the author entered into a period of controversy which was to follow him for the rest of his life. Grace Melbury, the timber merchant's daughter, comes back to Little Hintock after some years at finishing school. She was the childhood sweetheart of Giles Winterborne, a compassionate, caring man who works in the village. Melbury senior has promised himself that Grace and Giles will be married to recompense for him taking Giles' father's betrothed many years before. However, Grace is a different woman now, a sophisticated creature, and the suave, knowledgeable local doctor Fitzpiers takes an interest in her. Melbury goes back on his word.... But has Grace changed all that much? And is the doctor the honest professional man he pretends to be? The story is not without flashes of humour, with a rich background of detail and the humanity that characterised Hardy's work, which leads him to question the injustice of the marriage laws in this tale. ungekürzt.

The Promised Duke: The First Book in the Mason Series , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 818min
It was planned decades before his birth, and neither his knowledge nor agreement were required. It was just another aspect of his legacy. As the ninth duke of Ashfield, John Mason could deny the claim. He could ignore the summons. He could refuse to abide by the contract. A bond forged on the moors of Scotland as recompense for a life saved, his life was given. By refuting, he risked not only his honor, but the word and honor of his late father, and this he could not allow. Thus, their father’s maneuvers afforded the duke an unwanted bride. Past slights garnered an unknown enemy. And schemes conceived before his time gained him an unforeseen adversary. Come with Lord Ashfield as he travels the grandeur and opulence of the London ballrooms, the lush foliage and vastness of the Scotland hills, and the seclusion and comfort of the English countryside. Listen in anticipation as John Mason, the duke, faces intrigue and suspense trying to decipher his enemies, terror as loved ones come under danger, pitfalls as mistakes are made, and a timeless love reached as he finally accepts his fate, decreed beforehand, as the promised duke. ungekürzt.

Gwendy's Button Box
'A resonant novella set in one of King's signature locales: the small town of Castle Rock, Maine' Washington Post The small town of Castle Rock, Maine, has witnessed some strange events and unusual visitors over the years, but there is one story that has never been told...until now. There are three ways up to Castle View from the town of Castle Rock: Route 117, Pleasant Road, and the Suicide Stairs. Every day in the summer of 1974 twelve-year-old Gwendy Peterson takes the stairs, which are held by strong (if time-rusted) iron bolts and zig-zag up the cliffside. One day, while Gwendy catches her breath and listens to the shouts of the kids on the playground and the chink of an aluminium bat hitting a baseball, a stranger calls out to her. On a bench in the shade sits a man in a small, neat black hat. He offers Gwendy a mahogany box with coloured buttons. The buttons will produce gifts, such as chocolate which can make you slimmer. But he warns her that the gifts will be 'small recompense for the responsibility.' Journey back to Castle Rock in this chilling new novella by Stephen King, bestselling author of The Bazaar of Bad Dreams, and Richard Chizmar, award-winning author of A Long December- Shop: buecher

Full Dark, No Stars , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 895min
I believe there is another man inside every man, a stranger.... writes Wilfred Leland James in the early pages of the riveting confession that makes up "1922", the first in this pitch-black quartet of mesmerizing tales from Stephen King. For James, that stranger is awakened when his wife, Arlette, proposes selling off the family homestead and moving to Omaha, setting in motion a gruesome train of murder and madness. In "Big Driver", a cozy-mystery writer named Tess encounters the stranger along a back road in Massachusetts when she takes a shortcut home after a book-club engagement. Violated and left for dead, Tess plots a revenge that will bring her face-to-face with another stranger: the one inside herself. "Fair Extension", the shortest of these tales, is perhaps the nastiest and certainly the funniest. Making a deal with the devil not only saves Dave Streeter from a fatal cancer but provides rich recompense for a lifetime of resentment. When her husband of more than 20 years is away on one of his business trips, Darcy Anderson looks for batteries in the garage. Her toe knocks up against a box under a worktable and she discovers the stranger inside her husband. It's a horrifying discovery, rendered with bristling intensity, and it definitively ends a good marriage. Like Different Seasonsand Four Past Midnight, which generated such enduring films as The Shawshank Redemption and Stand by Me, Full Dark, No Stars proves Stephen King a master of the long story form. ungekürzt.
