    In 1970, one of Mississippi's more colourful weekly newspapers, The Ford County Times, went bankrupt. To the surprise and dismay of many, ownership was assumed by a 23 year-old college drop-out, named Willie Traynor.

    Doctor Who: The Gunfighters, Hörbuch, Digital, 252min

Their method of transportation was a mite peculiar though. After all, a police box materialising out of thin air sure ain't the usual way to enter a sedate town like Tombstone... And when the Doctor and his pardners meet up with Wyatt Earp and the notorious Clanton brothers, they soon find out that the scene is all set for high noon at the O. K. Corral...

    Army of the Dead , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 11min
    Just a mile down the old dirt road beyond the Clanton Plantation was a Civil War battlefield that claimed the lives of thousands of Union and Confederate soldiers. For months you could hear the cannon fire that echoed across the valley. The soldier's moans and groans from the heavy gunfire could also be heard throughout the valley. The Confederate soldiers held their own for a while, but the Union soldiers were better trained and well equipped to outlast the Confederates - which led to their surrender to the Union army after three months and five days. So many young soldiers, barely 18 years of age, were taken from this world just before they would have the chance to reach their manhood and experience love and raise their own children and teach them about life. Mrs. Knoll didn't know it, but fixing up the plantation was a bad idea. Whenever anyone does renovations to an old home, this angers any ghosts present and sometimes leads to fatal consequences. As for Mr. Knoll - he didn't realize that having reenactments on a battlefield where thousands of Civil War soldiers lost their lives was a bad idea as well. The reenactment would only summon up an army of the dead with grave consequences for the living.... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Michael Adashefski.

    Asher Beaumont never asked for much in life. All he wanted was to play his guitar, write music, and be recognized and loved by his father. Unfortunately, that last desire was never realized. The bastard died when Asher was just a kid. Then 13 years later, his mother dies of a brain tumor, shattering him even more and leaving him hating everyone around him, except for his two best friends, Melody Stevens and her brother, Teddy. Melody Stevens has crushed on her best friend, Asher Beaumont, her entire life. But it's always been a secret passion. Never something she'd act upon. But when she tells Asher she's prepared - and determined - to lose her virginity to a guy he considers to be nothing more than a cad who sleeps with anything that wears a skirt, her best friend offers her a proposition she can't really refuse. When Asher stumbles across a letter left by his mother before her death, begging him to seek out his half-brothers, he and Melody begin a journey of discovery. Their travels lead them to the two brothers he has spent his life despising because they had the life he always wanted. While on their trip, they discover a miracle they never, ever considered.
