A Whisper in the Dark: Turbulent Tales from Louisa May Alcott , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 644min
From the author of Little Women comes a collection of gothic, romantic, and spellbinding tales guaranteed to surprise and delight. This collection represents the best of Alcott's adult oeuvre. The stories in this volume display dramatic intensity and thrilling, suspenseful plots that show Alcott to be a complex and passionate writer. Listeners will discover within this maelstrom of murder, deceit, obsessive desire, treachery, duplicity, and betrayal that love and honor can still conquer all. The book takes its title from the tale "A Whisper in the Dark", arguably Alcott's gothic masterpiece, a story of imperiled innocence. Also featured are "The Abbot's Ghost", one of Alcott's few supernatural thrillers; "Perilous Play", a sensationalist story in which she suggests that with the appropriate stimulation - in this case hashish - even the innocent reveal a dark side; and "V. V.; or Plots and Counterplots", which introduces the mysterious Virginie Varens, the darkest heroine in all her work. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Ways to Disappear , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 271min
A debut novel about the disappearance of a famous Brazilian novelist and the young translator who turns her life upside down to follow her author's trail. Deep in gambling debt, the celebrated Brazilian writer Beatriz Yagoda is last seen holding a suitcase and a cigar and climbing into an almond tree. She abruptly vanishes. In snowy Pittsburgh, her American translator, Emma, hears the news and, against the wishes of her boyfriend and Beatriz's two grown children, flies immediately to Brazil. There, in the sticky, sugary heat of Rio, Emma and her author's children conspire to solve the mystery of Yagoda's curious disappearance and staunch the colorful demands of her various outstanding affairs: the rapacious loan shark with a zeal for severing body parts and the washed-up and disillusioned editor who launched Yagoda's career years earlier. Idra Novey's exhilarating debut is an international romp: a madcap blend of mystery, romance, noir, and humor. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Susan Hanfield.

Fear and Faith: Finding the Peace Your Heart Craves , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 293min
We will never be short on fears. Failure, rejection, sickness, losing a loved one, being alone - the fears we carry are many and heavy. Fear can be a tyrant, a bully we can't hide from. It can paralyze our spirit, damage our relationships, and hinder our faith. Trillia is no stranger to fear. She has known its harsh grip on her life, but she has also known the gentle hand of God, a peace and a faith from the one who conquers fears. In Fear and Faith, Trillia will encourage you as she reflects on scripture and her own story. She will show you Jesus, who was tempted like you in every way. She will show you the character of God and how it inspires faith. And she will show you real women who have walked the road of fear - or are still walking it - and how they have found security in the Lord to be their strength. Whatever your fear, you are not alone, nor are you without hope. You have the one who can replace your fear with faith. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Susan Hanfield.

Queers Destroy Science Fiction!: Lightspeed Magazine Special Issue: The Stories , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 660min
Lightspeed was founded on the core idea that all science fiction is real science fiction and that science fiction is vast. It is inclusive. Science fiction is about people, and queer people, no matter how they identify, are a big part of that. They always have been. They're just sometimes harder to see. So, in the interests of visibility, Queers Destroy Science Fiction! shows just how wide the spectrum of sexuality and gender identity can really be. This special issue features original science fiction short stories from John Chu, Kate M. Galey, Bonnie Jo Stufflebeam, Chaz Brenchley, Felicia Davin, Rose Lemberg, Jessica Yang, K. M. Szpara, Amal El-Mohtar, Tim Susman, and Susan Jane Bigelow. Plus, it includes original flash fiction from E. Saxey, Charles Payseur, Claudine Griggs, Stephen Cox, Eliza Gauger, Erica L.

Birthing the Miraculous: The Power of Personal Encounters with God to Change Your Life and the World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 373min
God has promised us miracles. Are you willing to do what it takes to see them through? We all desire the favor of God on our lives. We eagerly pray and hope for his miracles, promises, and blessings. But carrying the promises of God often means being stretched, being inconvenienced, and being patient to nourish those promises until it is God's time for them to be born. In Birthing the Miraculous Heidi Baker weaves true stories from her life and ministry - including personal visitations and life-changing visions - together with the biblical story of Mary's pregnancy with Jesus to show you how to become a catalyst for God's glory here on earth. Sometimes God's promises seem bizarre, implausible, and even crazy. But no matter how impossible his promises seem, we can respond as Mary did, with a yielded cry of "Yes". It is time to go into every realm of society, carrying your promise, believing for the impossible, and watching God do the miraculous through you. ungekürzt. Language: English.
