Hamelin Stoop: The Lost Princess and the Jewel of Periluna: Hamelin Stoop Series, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 473min

Hamelin finally makes it across the footbridge only to learn that his quest to find his parents and learn his true identity will not be quickly done or easy to fulfill. The Great Eagle leads him through the dangerous waters of death and life and into the land of gloaming, where Hamelin is thrown into the midst of a war already being waged between the evil Chimera and the mysterious ancient one. He must help two new friends find a kidnapped princess and recover a stolen jewel, tasks for which they have special gifts that must not be misused: a scarf of sight, shoes of speed, and a sword of death. But these quests are only part of the larger story, a story including Chimera’s plan to use Hamelin - a child of two realms - to seize the kingdoms on both sides of the Atrium of the Worlds. ungekürzt.

The Gloaming, Part 6: The Final Chapter , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 17min

Now, Billy did believe in ghosts. Missy, completely whole again, if only for a brief moment in time, moved into the real world so that he could see and hear her singing. She began with the song she chose five years ago, stepping out of the shadows into a convenient patch of moonlight filtering in through the dirty clouds above them, looming over them like big gray ghosts.... ungekürzt.

The Secret Life of the Owl , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 111min

Random House presents the audiobook edition of The Secret Life of the Owl by John Lewis-Stempel, read by Roy McMillan. 'Dusk is filling the valley. It is the time of the gloaming, the owl-light. Out in the wood, the resident tawny has started calling, hoo-hoo-hoo-h-o-o-o.' There is something about owls. They feature in every major culture from the Stone Age onwards. They are creatures of the night, and thus of magic. They are the birds of ill tidings, the avian messengers from the Other Side. But owls - with the sapient flatness of their faces, their big, round eyes, their paternal expressions - are also reassuringly familiar. We see them as wise, like Athena's owl, and loyal, like Harry Potter's Hedwig. Human-like, in other words. No other species has so captivated us. In The Secret Life of the Owl, John Lewis-Stempel explores the legends and history of the owl. And in vivid, lyrical prose, he celebrates all the realities of this magnificent creature, whose natural powers are as fantastic as any myth. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Roy McMillan.

Memoria, 1 Audio-CD (Digipak)

Anders Trentemøllers sechstes Studioalbum Memoria scheint ein Zusammenspiel von Inspiration, Zufall und vielleicht sogar ein bisschen Übernatürlichem zu sein. Wie bei den meisten Trentemøller-Veröffentlichungen handelt es sich um eine Sammlung von Songs, die thematisch durch viele melodische Fäden verbunden sind. Die erste Single aus dem kommenden Album, 'In The Gloaming', deutet an, dass der Bogen des Albums tatsächlich spät am Tag begonnen hat, so dass man das Gefühl hat, am Abend aufzuwachen und in der Dämmerung die Sterne in Form von perkussiven Arpeggios funkeln zu sehen. Das Trentemøller-Album 'Obverse' aus dem Jahr 2019 war ein Beispiel dafür, was man tun könnte, wenn die Aussicht, die Songs auf der Bühne zu spielen, keine Rolle spielen würde. Es öffnete einige Türen und läutete ein neues Kapitel ein. 'Memoria', selbst in Anbetracht seiner Pracht, fühlt sich hingegen fast so an, als würde es danach verlangen, auch live präsentiert zu werden."Der dänische Songwriter und Produzent Trentemøller veröffentlicht sein sechstes Studioalbum: 'Memoria' ist der Nachfolger von 'Obverse' (2019) und verspricht, eines der spannendsten Releases des Jahres zu werden."

A People's History of the Vampire Uprising: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 807min

In this ambitious and wildly original debut - part social-political satire, part international mystery - a new virus turns people into something a bit more than human, upending society as we know it. This panoramic fictional oral history begins with one small mystery: the body of a young woman found in an Arizona border town, presumed to be an illegal immigrant, disappears from the town morgue. To the young CDC investigator called in to consult with the local police, it's an impossibility that threatens her understanding of medicine. Then, more bodies, dead from an inexplicable disease that solidified their blood, are brought to the morgue, only to also vanish. Soon, the US government - and eventually biomedical researchers, disgruntled lawmakers, and even an insurgent faction of the Catholic Church - must come to terms with what they're too late to stop: an epidemic of vampirism that will sweep first the United States, and then the world. With heightened strength and beauty and a steady diet of fresh blood, these changed people, or "Gloamings", rapidly rise to prominence in all aspects of modern society. Soon people are beginning to be "re-created", willingly accepting the risk of death if their bodies can't handle the transformation. As new communities of Gloamings arise, society is divided, and popular Gloaming sites come under threat from a secret terrorist organization. But when a charismatic and wealthy businessman, recently turned, runs for political office - well, all hell breaks loose. Told from the perspective of key players, including a cynical FBI agent, an audacious campaign manager, and a war veteran turned nurse turned secret operative, A People's History of the Vampire Uprising is an exhilarating, genre-bending debut that is as addictive as the power it describes.

Dark Fantasies , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 366min

This short story collection will keep you on the edge of your seat to the last sentence. Misha Burnett has been published in a wide variety of modern fiction magazines, and here we've collected some of his best fantasy work.From the introduction:"I'm a tourist, not a colonist. I want to take a couple of pictures, hit an antique mall, get a meal, and get back on the highway. And that's what I write - what you'll get in this book is the casual visitor's view of other worlds than ours. I promise to have you back safe in your own home town by nightfall.That having been said, I do revisit the same locations several times. These nine stories are trips to four settings, more or less. I like to think that these worlds are interesting enough to warrant the return trips.The first two stories, "A Hill Of Stars" and "In The Gloaming O My Darling" are set in what I like to call the Eldritch Earth. Early pulp writers were often fascinated by great antiquity, and I share that fascination. So I basically took Robert Howard's prehistoric Cimmeria and pushed it back in time - waaay back, all the way to Lovecraft's Precambrian Era of elder gods and alien monstrosities.It's a mashup of time periods, with human beings and dinosaurs and shoggoths all existing on the same Pangaea-style continent. The concept has both obvious absurdities and an odd charm, and I was able to convince a few other authors to take a stab at the setting.The next story, "Nox Invictus" is a one-off. The germ of the idea came from a discussion of elves in Fantasy being avatars of chaos, with the lawlessness of Elfland contrasted with the order of Christendom in works such as Poul Anderson's Three Hearts And Three Lions. I happened to be reading the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius at the time, so I thought I'd see how a Roman Stoic would fare in the realm of the fair folk - specifically the Svartalfheim of Norse mythology.It was fun, writing the clash of thr ungekürzt.

The Captain: The Journey of Derek Jeter , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 842min

Every spring, Little Leaguers across the country mimic his stance and squabble over the right to wear his number, 2, the next number to be retired by the world’s most famous ball team. Derek Jeter is their hero. He walks in the footsteps of Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio, and Mantle, and someday his shadow will loom just as large. Yet he has never been the best player in baseball. In fact, he hasn’t always been the best player on his team. But his intangible grace and Jordanesque ability to play big in the biggest of postseason moments make him the face of the modern Yankee dynasty, and of America’s game. In The Captain, best-selling author Ian O’Connor draws on extensive reporting and unique access to Jeter that has spanned some 15 years to reveal how a biracial kid from Michigan became New York’s most beloved sports figure and the enduring symbol of the steroid-free athlete. O’Connor takes us behind the scenes of a legendary baseball life and career, from Jeter’s early struggles in the minor leagues, when homesickness and errors in the field threatened a stillborn career, to his heady days as a Yankee superstar and prince of the city who squired some of the world’s most beautiful women, to his tense battles with former best friend A-Rod. We also witness Jeter struggling to come to terms with his declining skills and the declining favor of the only organization he ever wanted to play for, leading to a contentious contract negotiation with the Yankees that left people wondering if Jeter might end his career in a uniform without pinstripes. Derek Jeter’s march toward the Hall of Fame has been dignified and certain, but behind that leadership and hero’s grace there are hidden struggles and complexities that have never been explored, until now. As Jeter closes in on 3,000 hits, a number no Yankee has ever touched, The Captain offers an incisive, exhilarating, and revealing new look at one of the game’s greatest players in the gloaming of his ca ungekürzt.
