    Anthills , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 249min
    An old fable tells us of the ants and grasshopper; the ants pass the summer toiling in preparation for the winter, while the grasshopper sings and plays with little thought to what is to come. In the story, the grasshopper is turned away when he comes begging for food, in some versions he is forced to play music to earn it. What would really happen once winter arrived, would the grasshopper truly let himself go hungry?The world as we know it has died, but as they say "life finds a way". It is now a world of tremendous abominations, an existence of ants and grasshoppers. Young Gillian Parker is alone in this world, on a mission, taking a leap of faith in search of something that may or may not be there. Whatever the outcome, she is willing to do anything to see her quest to completion; she has nothing left to lose. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Angela L. Claxton.

    Steeplechase: A Homer Kelly Mystery, Book 18 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 365min
    A search for a missing church leads Homer to a century-old mystery Somehow, against all odds, Homer Kelly has become famous. After decades toiling in academic obscurity, the Harvard professor has a book on the bestseller list. To capitalize on his sudden fame, Homer’s editor demands another book, and fast. Homer is working on Steeplechase, a tour of churches in and around his little patch of Massachusetts, and at his editor’s request he goes searching for some ancient gossip to spice up his new work. What he finds is a baffling Reconstruction-era mystery. Hot-air balloons, nursery rhymes, and the great chestnut tree in the village of Nashoba all form part of Homer’s ancestors’ thrilling story. As the tale shifts between 1868 and the present day, a picture emerges of a small-town Massachusetts that’s hardly changed, and a secret which, if it weren’t for Homer, may have stayed buried for all time. ungekürzt.

    For You the Living , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 139min
    From Chicago Horror author Wayne Allen Sallee comes this collection of zombie stories, told in the way only Sallee can - brutal, stark, filled with pain. Jay Bonansinga, co-author of The Walking Deadand best-selling author of Perfect Victimand Pinkerton's War says of the title story: "Chicago has its share of treasures - deep dish, the Bean, Kingston's blues, and Wayne Allen Sallee. Toiling in the stubborn vineyard of short fiction for most of his career, Sallee reaches a sort of a literary apogee with his brilliant and brutal horror novella For You, The Living. Ostensibly a plague tale, told in classic Lovecraftian diary form, Sallee's yarn manages to deftly mingle the deeply personal with the gruesomely Grand Guignol. Riveting, ghastly, hilarious, creepy, and unforgettably Wayne-like, For You, the Living is at once a wholly original take on the zombie apocalypse genre while at the same time a heart-wrenching love story. This one will haunt you forever, folks. Highest recommendation!” ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Nils Ilgresson.

    Hi. My Name Is on My Shirt: Witty Reflections of a Blue Collar Factory Worker , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 64min
    Ever wonder what goes on in the life of a factory worker? After 18 years of working in a field that I had no intention of toiling in, I have decided it is time to share my experiences with others. I am coming to the table to share tales that are too rich to be simply forgotten. If you are looking to be impressed with superb plots and subplots, you won't find it here. I'm simply telling stories that are conjured up from my years of experience wearing a blue collar. The message of the book, in humorous terms, is that everyone is interesting if you can get to their story. We will take a look at things like herpetophobia (fear of snakes), extreme boredom, and all sorts of things encountered when working around other people in close proximity. This is not a long book, and I have chosen to price it with this in mind (How's that for being blunt?). ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jake Clifty.

    How to Live on 24 Hours a Day , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 78min
    With the advent of the modern corporate workplace in the twenty-first century, more and more people are toiling away behind desks, wearily clocking the standard forty-hour week. By 1910, writer Arnold Bennett had observed a worrying trend of exhausted wage-earners whose waking hours revolved around their jobs and who had little time to spend on the business of actually living. Self-improvement was Bennett’s prescription for a speedy escape from the woes of the rat race. In his popular work How to Live on 24 Hours a Day, he advised those starved for time to set manageable goals for themselves and to pursue fulfilling activities - in much the same way that modern self-help experts urge today’s busy people to seek enlightenment, relaxation, and satisfaction in a chaotic world. Take a break from your busy day and let Arnold Bennett’s still-fresh advice help you find the contentment and calm you seek. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Arnold Bennett.

    The Charmed Life of Matt Draper: From Riverboat Gambler to Frontier Banker , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 346min
    In 1866, Matt Draper is full of ambition but without money or family to help him succeed. On the Western frontier of an ever-expanding America, toiling as a riverboat gambler seems like the best option to raise enough capital to realize his dream of opening a small-town bank. Though gambling is lucrative for Matt, it is also an unsavory enterprise fraught with danger. Fortuitously, before any harm befalls him, Matt and his friend Charlie discover an abandoned Confederate gold cache in a fake grave, which gives him the stake he needs to leave the treacherous gambling world behind. From then onward, his life’s purpose becomes evident as all roads lead to Neosho, Missouri, where he opens the bank and becomes a major influence on its growth and prosperity. Matt’s exciting and uplifting saga captures the day-to-day reality of life in the tumultuous post-Civil War era, including the hardships, relative lawlessness, and indomitable spirit of settlers bent on creating a good life for themselves and their neighbors. ungekürzt.
