Housebroken: Admissions of an Untidy Life , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 372min
Number-one New York Times best-selling author Laurie Notaro isn't exactly a domestic goddess - unless that means she fully embraces her genetic hoarding predisposition, sneaks peeks at her husband's daily journal, or has made a list of the people she wants on her Apocalypse Survival team (her husband's not on it). Notaro chronicles her chronic misfortune in the domestic arts, including cooking, cleaning, and putting on Spanx while sweaty (which should technically qualify as an Olympic sport). Housebroken is a rollicking new collection of essays showcasing her irreverent wit and inability to feel shame from defying nature in the quest to make her own Twinkies, to begging her new neighbors not to become urban livestock keepers, to teaching her eight-year-old nephew about hobos. ungekürzt.

Seven O'Clock Man , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 309min
Something is preying on the denizens of Skid Row, but when the victims are from the lost side of town, only one of the lost can stop the Seven O’Clock Man. Valentine might look like any homeless person holding any cardboard sign, but he knows the string of murders on LA's Skid Row aren't random and aren't business as usual for the strung out, the addicted, the unbalanced, and the destitute living on the streets. And it’s not just any killer hunting in the flophouses, shooting galleries and shantytowns. The Seven O’Clock Man is a legend, preying on the homeless since the first hobos hit the rails in the aftermath of the Civil War. Solve the mystery of who is the Seven O’Clock Man. How can one strung-out junkie stop him? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Daniel Martinez. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/234662/bk_acx0_234662_sample.mp3.

Running on Red Dog Road: And Other Perils of an Appalachian Childhood , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 361min
Gypsies, faith-healers, moonshiners, and snake handlers weave through Drema's childhood in 1940s Appalachia after her father is killed in the coal mines, her mother goes off to work as a Rosie the Riveter, and she is left in the care of devout Pentecostal grandparents. What follows is a spitfire of a memoir that feels like a novel with intrigue, sweeping emotion, and indisputable charm. Drema's coming of age is colored by tent revivals with Grandpa, poetry-writing hobos, and traveling carnivals, and through it all, she serves witness to a multi-generational family of saints and sinners whose lives defy the stereotypes. Just as she defies her own. Running on Red Dog Road is proof that truth is stranger than fiction, especially when it comes to life and faith in an Appalachian childhood. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Breaking Blue , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 550min
In 1935, the Spokane police regularly extorted sex, food, and money from the reluctant hobos (many of them displaced farmers who had fled the midwestern dust bowls), robbed dairies, and engaged in all manner of nefarious crimes, including murder. This history was suppressed until 1989, when former logger, Vietnam vet, and Spokane cop Tony Bamonte discovered a strange 1955 deathbed confession while researching a thesis on local law enforcement history. Bamonte began to probe what had every appearance of widespread police crime and a massive cover-up whose highlight was the unsolved murder of Town Marshall George Conff. The fact that many of those involved - now in their 80s and 90s - were still alive made it imperative that Bamonte unravel this mystery. The result is Breaking Blue, a white-knuckle ride through institutional corruption and cover-up that vividly documents Depression-era Spokane and an extraordinary case that few believed would ever be brought to light. ungekürzt.

The Devil's Workshop, Hörbuch, Digital, 299min
Stacy Richardson is a microbiology graduate student at the University of Southern California, taking her final doctoral exams. In the middle of her "Quals," Stacy learns that her husband, head of the university's Microbiology Department, has "committed suicide" while on sabbatical at a super-secret bio-weapons lab known as the Devil's Workshop. Meanwhile, two train-riding hobos, "Lucky" Cunningham and "Hollywood Mike", are traveling near Vanished Lake, Texas, where the newest generation of bio-weapons is secretly being tested. A bio-accident at Vanishing Lake turns the town into a living hell; one of the many casualties is Hollywood Mike, who, it turns out, is the son of egomaniacal, larger-than-life motion picture producer Buddy Brazil. An unlikely trio, Stacy Richardson, Lucky Cunningham, and Buddy Brazil work to expose the horrific truth about the Devil's Workshop while trying to stop a gang of white supremacists from "detonating" the frightening new bio-weapon.
