    The Moment of 'Psycho': How Alfred Hitchcock Taught America to Love Murder , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 226min
    It was made like a television movie, and completed in less than three months. It killed off its star in 40 minutes. There was no happy ending. And it offered the most violent scene to that date in American film, punctuated by shrieking strings that seared the national consciousness. Nothing like Psycho had existed before, and the movie industry, even America itself, would never be the same.In The Moment of Psycho, film critic David Thomson situates Psycho in Alfred Hitchcock's career, recreating the mood and time when the seminal film erupted onto film screens worldwide. Thomson shows that Psycho was not just a sensation in film - it altered the very nature of our desires. Sex, violence, and horror took on new life. Psycho, all of a sudden, represented all America wanted from a film and, as Thomson brilliantly demonstrates, still does. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jeff Woodman.

    No Experience Necessary: The Culinary Odyssey of Chef Norman Van Aken , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 754min
    No Experience Necessary is Chef Norman Van Aken's joyride of a memoir. In it he spans twenty-plus years and nearly as many jobs - including the fateful job advertisement in the local paper for a short-order cook with "no experience necessary." Long considered a culinary renegade and a pioneering chef, Van Aken is an American original who chopped and charred, sweated and seared his way to cooking stardom with no formal training, but with extra helpings of energy, creativity, and faith. After landing on the deceptively breezy shores of Key West, Van Aken faced hurricanes, economic downturns, and mercurial moneymen during the decades when a restaurant could open and close faster than you can type haute cuisine. From a graveyard shift grunt at an all-night barbeque joint to a James Beard-award finalist for best restaurant in America, Van Aken put his trusting heart, poetic soul, natural talent, and ever-expanding experience into every venture - and helped transform the American culinary landscape along the way. ungekürzt.

    The end is near.  I can sense it. The temple we’ve been heading toward for so long. The end of our journey. Standing in our way are the most malign, loathsome, powerful beings ever put on this earth, and their dark chi powers are just plain mental. But I still have my sword, and the things I’m learning to do...Well. We might just have a chance. You can save them. You can save ALL of them. The words have been seared into my brain since this alien f*ck blew me to pieces. It’s time to find out if there’s any truth to them at all. This is it. The big finale.

    River Jordan: A Jerusalem Short Story: The Dove and the Wolf, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 15min
    Phoebe's life was moving as orderly as the recitation of prayers on a shimmering springtime evening. She was ready to leave the one-room bavith she had shared with her family since birth, at the outskirts of Jerusalem, to wed her betrothed. She would learn to love Joel, she was sure of it. All they needed was time. And then, strolling along the River Jordan with her young nephew, she came across a scene which would change her life. John the Baptist was talking with a man who radiated serenity. The visions seared her soul. A baptism - a dove - and a watching Roman legionnaire with steady eyes like a wolf's. When Joel grabbed her arm and scolded her for straying from her path, she had that sense. That sense that nothing would ever be the same. River Jordan is book one of a gently cliff-hangered short story series. The sequence will lead up to a happily ever after ending. The series is clean romance and is suitable for all ages. Half of all author's proceeds benefit battered women's shelters. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jennifer L. Vorpahl.

    Served: Facile Restaurant Omnibus, Volume One , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 315min, (USK 18)
    Can you stand the heat? It's just another night in the French Quarter's newest restaurant. And, of course, at Facile that means complete chaos - a distracted head chef, a private party full of family dysfunction, and a visit from a celebrity chef trying to poach the best in the kitchen. Served: Facile Restaurant Omnibus, Volume 1 offers a range of hot heroes. If you like culinary bad boys, listen for more about Remy Billodeaux in Seared. If foul-mouthed, former flames make you sizzle, try Morgan Jeffries in Burned. In Poached, you'll find quiet, capable man of mystery Damon Blake. But if the sparkly unicorn appeal of a genuinely nice guy is more your type, Jason Parker of Boiled is the man for you. And finally, if you like smooth, cool, and flirty, Byron Caldwell of Grilled is there to serve your every need. Each story features a new pairing and setting over the course of one insanely complicated dining service at Facile, delicious bonbons of naughtiness intertwining all of the characters and their problems. ungekürzt.
