Light on Life’s Difficulties , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 136min
When a man enters a dark room he is not sure of his movements, he cannot see objects around him, or properly locate them, and is liable to hurt himself by coming into sudden contact with them. But let a light be introduced, and immediately all confusion disappears. Every object is seen, and there is no danger of being hurt. To the majority, life is such a dark room, and their frequent hurts - their disappointments, perplexities, sorrows and pains - are caused by sudden contact with principles which they do not see, and are therefore not prepared to deal with. But when the light of wisdom is introduced into the darkened understanding, confusion vanishes, difficulties are dissolved, all things are seen in their true place and proportion, and henceforth the man walks open-eyed and unhurt, in the clear light of wise comprehension.(from the foreword by James Allen) ungekürzt.

Thoughts Are Things , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 98min
This little book contains a message for you - you, who are reading these lines. Think of the book what you will, at first - nevertheless, it will leave its message imprinted upon your mind, and you will be unable to forget it. The hearing of it will form a distinct epoch in your life, little as you may realize it at this moment. You will be different, henceforth, by reason of the message contained herein. You may not accept all of its statements, but some of them will "stick" in your mind, as does the burr in the wool of the passing sheep. As Whitman once said: "My words will itch in your ears till you understand them." And, often almost unconsciously, you will find yourself acting upon its advice; following its precepts; heeding its admonitions. But fear not - the message is for your betterment, advancement, strengthening. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kane Prestenback.

It is fear that henceforth reigns over him." - Jean Amery At the Mind's Limits is the story of one man's incredible struggle to understand the reality of horror.

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 662min
Indiana, 1818. Moonlight falls through the dense woods that surround a one-room cabin, where a nine-year-old Abraham Lincoln kneels at his suffering mother's bedside. She's been stricken with something the old-timers call "Milk Sickness." "My baby boy..." she whispers before dying. Only later will the grieving Abe learn that his mother's fatal affliction was actually the work of a vampire. When the truth becomes known to young Lincoln, he writes in his journal, "henceforth my life shall be one of rigorous study and devotion. I shall become a master of mind and body. And this mastery shall have but one purpose..." Gifted with his legendary height, strength, and skill with an ax, Abe sets out on a path of vengeance that will lead him all the way to the White House. While Abraham Lincoln is widely lauded for saving a Union and freeing millions of slaves, his valiant fight against the forces of the undead has remained in the shadows for hundreds of years. That is, until Seth Grahame-Smith stumbled upon The Secret Journal of Abraham Lincoln, and became the first living person to lay eyes on it in more than 140 years. Using the journal as his guide and writing in the grand biographical style of Doris Kearns Goodwin and David McCullough, Seth has reconstructed the true life story of our greatest president for the first time-all while revealing the hidden history behind the Civil War and uncovering the role vampires played in the birth, growth, and near-death of our nation. ungekürzt.
