  The Beast with Five Fingers , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 74min

  Welcome to Icon Audiobooks at its most terrifying, provocative, and mysterious. Here is a classic audiobook which reaches across the waters of time deep to the inner recesses of the darkest corners of the human mind.Whether or not these are truly horror stories depends on the always fragile state of mind of the attentive listener, but they are dark, often foreboding, and delightfully full of dread. Perhaps, more than pure horror, they are, rather, cautionary tales displaying the depths of nameless immortality, criminality, and insanity which has plagued humankind from time immemorial. Or, perhaps, they are something more - a frightening window into the dark unknown, the otherworldly, and truly evil. One thing is for sure, however - this jarring, well-crafted tale of desperation, death, violence, and depravity has the power to rattle the expectant listener to the very core as well as opening doors which might better stay closed, taking us upon roads which should not be thoughtlessly traveled and alleyways to misadventure which wander off into the weeds of self doubt and numbing isolation. Still, the silent pull to take this unexpected trek into the unknown is strong, and it may well lead you into a room full of mirrors where you might not like all that you see. But don’t worry friends, I’ll be with you every step of the way!Presented by actor author Geoffrey Giuliano.For everyone interested in the cultural significance of classical horror literature, here is a once-in-a-lifetime, must-have audio event. Perfect for universities and all educational media.  Hosted by Geoffrey Giuliano. Produced by India Juliana in Bejing. Edited and mixed by Macc Kay in Bangkok. Project coordinator Alex Franchi in Milan. Executive in charge of production Avalon Giuliano in London. Icon intern Eden Giuliano in Delhi. Special thanks to Brandon Stickney. Dedicated to Vrndarani Devi (1953-2017). Music by AudioNautix, with their kind permission./ ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Geoffrey Giuliano & The Icon Players.

  Window Dressing: A Collection of Four Erotic Stories, Hörbuch, Digital, 74min, (USK 18)

  A collection of four erotic stories with mixed and varied themes, including: 'Window Dressing' by Anya Wassenberg: She walks to work every day through the streets of New York. Somehow she hasn't ever noticed the basement curio shop before - or the blonde guy who works there. The next day she finds herself lingering in front of the low-level window, from where he has an excellent view right up her short skirt. If she goes back, will he be there? And will she dare to show him more? 'The Sex Therapist' by Dee Dawning: Since Bobby's cheating wife left him, he's been struggling to find his mojo. Gary reckons his friend Loretta might be just the woman to help him get over his shyness around women. On an overnight stay, Loretta shows him her specially decorated bedroom. She takes him in hand and teaches him the fastest way to forget his ex-wife. Bobby may be young, but he's a fast learner. 'Educating Master Tom' by Kitti Bernetti: Newly widowed, Miss Canning arrives at Harestone Manor with a grave sense of foreboding. She's to be governess to the young Master Tom - 19 years old and entirely uneducated in affairs of the flesh. Tempted by fabulous wages and silk dresses, Miss Canning agrees to don the turquoise corset that signals her acceptance. If only she were putting it on for the Lord of the Manor, rather than the feeble young Tom - surely the leering old man would know better how to satisfy a lusty woman? 'Thrill Ride' by Lynn Lake: The legendary Lolliewood is just a rumour among theme park addicts. So when an old tramp offers her a pass, she’d do anything to get her hands on it, and once she's there, she’d do anything to find a companion for the night. Because Lolliewood is an adult theme park - a sexual cornucopia of horny thrills and wild erotic rides that she never wants to end. Language: English. Narrator: Katy Anderson.

  Rise of Kali: Duryodhana's Mahabharata , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 970min

  The Mahabharata endures as the great epic of India.While Jaya is the story of the Pandavas, told from the perspective of the victors of Kurukshetra, Ajaya is the tale of the Kauravas, who were decimated to the last man.   From the pen of the author who gave voice to Ravana in the national best seller Asura comes the riveting narrative which compels us to question the truth behind the Mahabharata.   The dark age of Kali is rising, and every man and woman must choose between duty and conscience, honour and shame, life and death....The Pandavas, banished to the forest following the disastrous games of dice, return to Hastinapura. Draupadi has vowed not to bind her hair till she washes it in the blood of the Kauravas. Karna must choose between loyalty and gratitude, friend and Guru. Aswathama undertakes a perilous mission to the mountains of Gandhara, in search of the Evil One. Kunti must decide between her firstborn and her other sons. Guru Drona has to stand with either his favourite disciple or his beloved son. Balarama, having failed to convince his brother about the adharma of violence, walks the streets of Bharatavarsha, spreading the message of peace. Ekalavya is called to make the ultimate sacrifice to uphold a woman’s honour. Jara, the beggar, sings of Krishna’s love while his blind dog, Dharma, follows. Shakuni can almost see the realization of his dream to destroy India.   As the Pandavas stake their claim to the Hastinapura throne, the Kaurava Crown Prince, Suyodhana, rises to challenge Krishna. As great minds debate dharma and adharma, power hungry men prepare for an apocalyptic war. The women, highborn and humble, helplessly watch the unfolding disaster with deep foreboding. And greedy merchants and unscrupulous priests lie in wait like vultures. Both sides know that beyond the agony and carnage, the winner will take all. But even as gods conspire and men’s destinies unfold, a far greater truth awaits./p ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Siddhanta Pinto.

  On Hearing of My Mother's Death Six Years After It Happened: A Daughter's Memoir of Mental Illness , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 324min

  On Hearing of My Mother’s Death Six Years After It Happened: A Daughter’s Memoir of Mental Illness is the moving yet deeply disturbing story of a middle-aged mother and a teenaged daughter torn apart by the sudden onset of the mother’s insanity. It details the severe paranoia and absurd delusions that began to control my mother’s behavior, her fears of being murdered or assaulted or poisoned, and how her suspicions eventually fell onto those closest to her. It follows her transformation from loving parent to violent psychotic and my transformation from obedient daughter to terrified runaway. It exposes the system’s woeful failure to rescue a family in crisis and illustrates how stigma and social isolation prevented both mother and daughter from getting the help they needed. It explores the emotions with which I have struggled since I left home: my unending guilt and uneasiness over leaving, and my eternal fear and foreboding of being found. It speaks of my struggle to survive without her, of the many months of hunger and homelessness and hopelessness that were the direct result of her illness; how it nearly took away everything my mother had once wanted for me and for which I had labored so tirelessly. And it depicts the overwhelming revelatory moment when I finally learned she had died - six years before.It’s a story of survival, both my mother’s and my own. It’s a story of grief and of loss, both hers and my own. And ultimately, it’s the story that reconciles us - both the adult daughter and the mother she lost, and the young girl and the mother who was already long gone. She rests, in peace. Perhaps now I can, too.This second edition of this award-winning memoir has been revised and rewritten in response to comments from readers and now contains eight additional chapters not included in the original 2014 release. ungekürzt.

  Travel Tales Women Alone!: The #MeToo of Travel: True Travel Tales, Volume 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 762min

  This seriesThese are the true travel tales of solo women travelers being sexually harassed and assaulted in their travels around the world and what some of them were able to do about it! They are shouting “Me Too!” to you!I've interviewed nearly 2,000 world travelers. I've weaved the best of their 10,000 travel tales into a psychology of travel as revealed by these very telling stories. These courageous travelers have shared their most personal travel experiences, some good and wonderful and others horrific and life-threatening, which I, in turn, share with you now through my True Travel Tales series.This bookIt deals with safety and security of the woman solo traveler. Unfortunately, travel today finds us in a world of growing terror threats, the imposition of severe and strict cultural and religious restrictions on women's rights and freedoms, as well as decreasing tolerance for cultural and religious differences and diversity around the world.For women traveling alone, having to deal with hassles and assaults is daunting in the least. For women alone, travel mostly is exciting and relatively safe, but for many women, traveling in some countries, particularly in North Africa and the Middle East, can often be traumatic and downright dangerous.I have tales of women constantly being bothered and harassed. And, sad to say, some women have even disappeared, never to be seen again. To be a woman and to travel alone in such forbidding places is not for the faint of heart. Many young women are naively unaware and must be exceedingly careful in their interactions with men overseas. Just because men are well-dressed and speak your language does not necessarily mean that they can be trusted. Every woman traveling abroad needs to know about and prepare herself for dealing with such things. Again, while travel is mostly safe, it can also be foreboding and downright dangerous at times and one must be prudent.If I ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gary Roelofs, Rose Dupouy.

  Not Far From Brideshead (eBook, ePUB)

  Oxford thought it was at war. And then it was. After the horrors of the First World War, Oxford looked like an Arcadia - a dreamworld - from which pain could be shut out. Soldiers arrived with pictures of the university fully formed in their heads, and women finally won the right to earn degrees. Freedom meant reading beneath the spires and punting down the river with champagne picnics. But all was not quite as it seemed. Boys fresh from school settled into lecture rooms alongside men who had returned from the trenches with the beginnings of shellshock. It was displacing to be surrounded by aristocrats who liked nothing better than to burn furniture from each other's rooms on the college quads for kicks. The women of Oxford still faced a battle to emerge from their shadows. And among the dons a major conflict was beginning to brew. Set in the world that Evelyn Waugh immortalised in Brideshead Revisited, this is a true and often funny story of the thriving of knowledge and spirit of fun and foreboding that characterised Oxford between the two world wars. One of the protagonists, in fact, was a friend of Waugh and inspired a character in his novel. Another married into the family who inhabited Castle Howard and befriended everyone from George Bernard Shaw to Virginia Woolf. The third was an Irish occultist and correspondent with the poets W. H. Auden, Louis MacNeice and W. B. Yeats. This singular tale of Oxford colleagues and rivals encapsulates the false sense of security that developed across the country in the interwar years. With the rise of Hitler and the Third Reich came the subversion of history for propaganda. In academic Oxford, the fight was on not only to preserve the past from the hands of the Nazis, but also to triumph, one don over another, as they became embroiled in a war of their own.

  Time Shelter

  'Georgi Gospodinov is unique in many ways. I've been reading him since the beginning of his career and I know that no one can combine an intriguing concept, wonderful imagination and perfect writing technique like he can' Olga Tokarczuk, author of Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead and winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature 'A powerful and brilliant novel: clear-sighted, foreboding, enigmatic. A novel in which the future gives way like a rotten beam and the past rushes in like a flood' Sandro Veronesi, author of The Hummingbird and twice winner of the Premio Strega In Time Shelter, an unnamed narrator meets Gaustine, a 'flâneur through time,' who has uncoupled his life from his contemporary reality, reading old news, wearing old clothes, haunting the lost avenues of the twentieth century. Gaustine is the mind behind the first 'clinic for the past,' an institution based in Zurich that offers an inspired treatment for Alzheimer's sufferers: each floor reproduces a past decade in minute detail, allowing patients to transport themselves back in time and find comfort in their fading memories. Yet an increasing number of healthy people are interested in seeking out the clinic as a form of 'time shelter,' hoping to escape from the horrors of our present, a development that results in an unexpected conundrum, when the past beings to invade the present. Georgi Gospodinov is one of Europe's most acclaimed writers. Originally from Bulgaria, his novels have won his country's most prestigious literary prize twice and have been shortlisted for more than a dozen international prizes - including the 2015 PEN Literary Award for Translation, the Premio Gregor von Rezzori, the Premio Strega Europeo, the Bruecke Berlin Preis, and the Haus der Kulturen der Welt Literaturpreis. He has won the 2016 Jan Michalski Prize for Literature, the 2019 Angelus Literature Central Europe Prize and the 2021 Premio Strega Europeo, among others.

  All Hallows' Eve: Six Romance Novellas , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 554min

  Another addition to the popular Timeless Romance Anthology series. All Hallows' Eve is not to be missed. Romance, thrills & chills. Need we say more? In Sarah M. Eden's mysterious novella Of Ghosts and Gardens, if Enid Pryce has one downfall, it's that she talks to the ghost in her garden, which doesn't make her too popular among society's elite. In fact, she returns to her home in Wales after a Season in Bath with not one offer of marriage. Deeming herself a failure at the nearly-spinster age of nineteen, she is pleasantly surprised when an English gentleman shows up in her garden, apparently intent on finding out more about the ghost. Burke Kennard, grandson of an English marquess, quickly becomes utterly charmed by the young Welsh woman, but the ghost in the garden is more likely to push them apart than pull them together. In Annette Lyon's enthralling story It's You, when Charlie and Anna both see the ghost of Nanny Mae, they think they're losing their minds. Anna tries to find out more about the ghost and uncovers a decades' old family secret. One that separated two people in love. Now, the ghost of Nanny Mae must set her wrongs to right. As Charlie and Anna explore the past, and the truth of what happened, they discover that the mistakes of the past might lead to love of the future. In Sophia's Curse, a suspenseful novella by Heather B. Moore, Joan grows up in an abbey in France, believing that she is an orphan. A chance encounter with the foreboding owner of a neighboring estate, alters everything she's understood about her parents. She discovers she's an integral part of changing a decades-old curse, and that her life, as well as the handsome and intriguing Simon Rousseau's life, are both in danger unless she makes an enormous sacrifice that will change the course of her dreams.
