    A Deep and Gorgeous Thirst , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 211min
    In the footsteps of Charles Bukowski comes Hosho McCreesh's magnum opus of drunk poetry. Mammoth in size and scope, DrunkSkull books is pleased to release the audiobook version of A Deep & Gorgeous Thirst, a drunken, epic collection about death and love that is unlike any of McCreesh's previous work."Because writing and drinking go hand in hand, it may seem an impossible challenge for a poet to offer new perspective of this well-worn, symbiotic relationship. But Hosho McCreesh does, and in his brilliant collection A Deep and Gorgeous Thirst he uses subject matter that might feel old and tired in the hands of a less capable poet and turns out poem after poem as exciting and irresistible as the first flush of new desire." (Tony O’Neill, author of Black Neon and Sick City)"A Deep & Gorgeous Thirst is a sweeping collection that is, on the surface, about booze and bars and drinking a lot, something the speakers in Hosho’s poems know something about. But what’s beneath the surface is what counts. The people in these sly, funny, often heartbreaking poems know that a bar is never just a bar, a drink is never just a drink. These are poems about being human, the heartbreak and joy and horror of all that. McCreesh - like Joseph Mitchell (see McSorley’s Wonderful Saloon), John Fante (Brotherhood of the Grape), and of course Charles Bukowski - knows that the truth comes up when illusions of control come down." (Lori Jakiela, Portrait of the Artist as a Bingo Worker)"A Deep & Gorgeous Thirst is a beautiful book about something we too often see portrayed as the source of all bad luck and trouble. It’s goddamn uplifting. Now, fuck it, I’m going to the bar and I’m bringing these poems with me and I’m letting them sing straight to my drunken heart."

    The Suicide Club , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 194min
    It’s often disorienting to wake up in a strange place, a different bed...especially if you weren’t expecting to wake up, at all!The last thing I remember, is closing my eyes, for what I thought would be the last time. When I finally awoke, my head was really screwed up. I wasn’t sure if I had really done it, whether this was the afterlife, if there was such a thing, or if I had screwed up once again.“You’re going to be all right...” someone said hesitantly. The way she looked didn’t fill me with much confidence, though. I could feel the pinch of a needle as it entered my arm. A strange taste cascaded across my tongue, and I became light-headed. The adrenaline surge kick-started the remaining portions of my brain, and I suddenly realized where I was.This was a hospital! A goddamn emergency room! I had screwed up again. I was still alive. Dammit! Dammit! Dammit! Everything went black...When four boys, from vastly different backgrounds, wake up in a run-down, prison-like psychiatric facility, after separate suicide attempts, they struggle to adjust to life inside and each other, as their therapist attempts to discover what brought them to this point to begin with. Eventually, they are thrown together as unlikely allies against the dictatorial administrator of the facility and the cruel guards, dealing with depression, neglect, racism, sexual abuse, physical abuse, homophobia, loneliness, friendship, and life itself. Will they all make it back to the outside world alive?This story deals with the very real scourge of teenage depression and suicide in the most realistic manner possible, peeking into the lives of four very different young men as they encounter life’s struggles and how to deal with them. It shows the terrible conditions that existed in early psychiatric facilities, but could take place anywhere, at any time, with anyone’s children. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    King of Beasts , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 287min
    If you can see them, you're already dead. If you can hear them, you're not far from it. If you can smell them, like the forest they live in, avoid danger at all conceivable costs. Because they're the monsters in the shadows of Harvey Hill's forests, and their king needs his queen. Charlotte and her burning red hair is a sight to behold. Though every bit as feisty as her sharp green eyes, but she's weary of the beasts that roam at night...of werewolves and unspoken beasts that threaten to abduct you, never to be seen again. After all, here in Harvey's Hill, when the clock strikes 10, you best be inside, praying to the moon that the monsters pretend you're not there. Yet, speeding down a highway late one night, she makes a grave - nay, fatal - mistake. Gabe saw those same smoldering embers that same night. Bloody and limp yet scathingly beautiful, her small but defiant voice burns through his soul. He reaches out, aching to claim her, but she knows her runes against beasts like him, and she isn't going down without a goddamn fight. But the King of Beasts always gets what he wants, and so he drags her away to be his forever...or so he thought. Just when love and passion take its course, odd things starts happening. Sinister things are in the works. And when Charlotte and Gabe find their bond broken, everything falls apart...maybe even their sanity. What are the secrets of this strange, strange town? When death is hot on her heels, will Charlotte escape? Will the king ever get to claim his queen? Be captivated by this dark tale of undying love that defies the paranormal in Jamiee Lynne's new book, King of Beasts. But be warned: the insane plot twists and spine-tingling thrill might just make you a bit mentally unstable-temporarily, that is. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Emma Lysy.

    Passable in Pink, Hörbuch, Digital, 338min
    When love reigns supreme in Northridge High just outside Chicago, by the lake, it happens beneath the soft, pink-infused spotlights hovering over that most special night of the year - prom night!   And when that happens, it’s bound to be called . . . Passable in Pink Passable in Pink is an Audible Original from New York Times best-selling author Mike Sacks (And Here's the Kicker, Poking a Dead Frog). Sacks has teamed up once again with director Eric Jason Martin (Heads Will Roll) to adapt a forgotten John Hughes-type 1983 movie into a fully immersive cinematic audio experience, with an epic all-star cast, including: Gillian Jacobs (Girls, Love), Adam Scott (Parks and Rec, Big Little Lies), Bobby Moynihan (SNL), Rhea Seehorn (Better Call Saul), Bob Odenkirk (Better Call Saul, Breaking Bad), Justine Bateman (Family Ties), Julie Klausner (Difficult People), Laraine Newman (SNL), and Judd Nelson (The Breakfast Club). Passable in Pink deftly sends up the 1980s while addressing the vital question: Will Addy Stevenson go to the senior prom? Addy is suffering through her sophomore year at suburban Chicago’s Northridge High. She lives on the “wrong” side of the lake with her father, a struggling advertising copywriter (“Where the hell is the goddamn beef?”) and her ever-boozy mom (“Get me another drink, baby, and really make it sing.”). Addy’s younger brother, Spaz, her soon-to-marry older sister, Princess, and a visiting international transfer student add to the mix. Her world is turned upside down when she meets Roland McDough, the “most beautiful Richie boy” at Northridge High. Is he actually interested in Addy, or is he just playing a game? This star-studded Audible Original also features a special 11-song, 1980s-infused film soundtrack, produced by Mark Rozzo (Stinker Lets Loose!).Are you Language: English.

    When it comes to keeping her, these billionaires mean business...IvyIt’s funny how one little pill can change your entire life. Or, more accurately, the forgetting of one tiny pill. Just when everything was going right, fate threw a major "f--k you" my way in the form of a bun in the oven. So, what did I do? Ran.Ran from the two men I adored, because they didn’t want kids. There was no place for them in their world. They’d told me that a dozen times. I had no intention of ever coming back, but desperation makes a woman do crazy things. So now, here I stand, begging for a job and eating crow by the bucket load.It doesn’t help that they look better than ever. Ripped muscles pressing against their suits with that utterly alpha look in their eyes. The look that promises to fulfill your every desire. And my body hasn’t forgotten for a second the way they made me scream in pleasure night after night. But I’ve got no plans to repeat the past. My life is different now. I’m different now. It's just business this time, right? Logan/Tyler She’s back. The one woman we’ve ever loved. The same woman who abandoned us a year ago, with not so much as a goddamn post-it note. She says she wants a job. No, not wants - demands - it. Who the hell does she think she is? Barking orders like we’re the ones who screwed her over. And how dare she? How dare she show up with all her attitude and hot little body, teasing us like she didn’t smash our hearts into oblivion? Just the sound of her voice makes us harder than steel, but we’re not giving in, dammit. She’s been keeping secrets, and we want answers. And we’re going to get them out of her, one good spanking at a time. This naughty girl needs to be punished. And before we give her the pleasure we know she can’t resist, she’ll have to beg for forgiveness. On her hands and knees. Naked.The Billionaires Surprise Baby /i ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Blood Done Sign My Name: A True Story, Hörbuch, Digital, 354min
    On May 11, 1970, Henry Marrow, a 23-year-old black veteran, walked into a crossroads store owned by Robert Teel, a rough man with a criminal record and ties to the Ku Klux Klan, and came out running. Teel and two of his sons chased Marrow, beat him unmercifully, and killed him in public as he pleaded for his life. In the words of a local prosecutor: "They shot him like you or I would kill a snake." Like many small Southern towns, Oxford had barely been touched by the civil rights movement. But in the wake of the killing, young African Americans took to the streets, led by 22-year-old Ben Chavis, a future president of the NAACP. As mass protests crowded the town square, a cluster of returning Vietnam veterans organized what one termed "a military operation". While lawyers battled in the courthouse that summer in a drama that one termed "a Perry Mason kind of thing", the Ku Klux Klan raged in the shadows and black veterans torched the town's tobacco warehouses. With large sections of the town in flames, Tyson's father, the pastor of Oxford's all-white Methodist church, pressed his congregation to widen their vision of humanity and pushed the town to come to terms with its bloody racial history. In the end, however, the Tyson family was forced to move away.Years later, historian Tim Tyson returned to Oxford to ask Robert Teel why he and his sons had killed Henry Marrow. "[He] committed suicide, coming in here wanting to four-letter-word my daughter-in-law," Teel explained. The black radicals who burned much of Oxford also told Tim their stories. "It was like we had a cash register up there at the pool hall, just ringing up how much money we done cost these white people," one of them explained. "We knew if we cost 'em enough goddamn money they was gonna start changing some things."  In the tradition of To Kill a Mockingbird, Blood Done Sign My Name is a classic work of conscience, a defining portrait of a time and plac Language: English.

    Back Door Alien Encounters , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 43min, (USK 18)
    Landing their ship on the planet Rodeo while screwing their brains out was probably a bad idea, but Zelda and Rollo aren’t sure they wouldn’t do it again. Now the ship needs fixing and the cargo is trashed. When Zelda heads off to see what sort of barter she can work out she finds that some negotiations require a bareback approach to her back door. And just for fun, the trader tosses in a closer-than-close encounter with wazzies. The fuzzy little demons join in the fun and change her views on what double penetration can be.~~~~~ Excerpt ~~~~~I stared at the image of Rodeo, the planet we were approaching, on the large monitor. It was pretty. Most of them are. Truth is, you can’t tell anything by staring at the images of planets unless you have a shitload of special filters, but I like to see the places I’m going to be walking on, get a sense of them, even if it doesn’t mean shit. Hey, it’s just a harmless quirk. Veteran space travelers are entitled to a few quirks.On the other side of our console area, I saw Rollo shuffling his light blue bulk into the navigator’s chair. He grinned and started strapping himself in. “You know, Zelda, this one is going to be a rough entry.”I smiled at Rollo. “Aren’t they all?”“Any entry into an atmosphere is a little rough, but the atmosphere on this planet is what we technical types call lumpy.”“Lumpy, Rollo? Really?”“There are weird swirls distributed randomly throughout the middle regions that contain micropockets of energy. When we hit them it will fuck over our trim and make for a wild ride. Temporary loss of control and all that. Goddamn bouncy, I expect. I bet it makes predicting the weather hell too.” He toyed with some of the nav controls like he knew what he was doing. “Zelda, are you sure you want to put down here?”That made me laugh. “Seeing that the engines won’t get us to another place where they might be repaired…yeah, I kinda think we better.

    Adam's Song: 8 Million Hearts, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 763min
    They say it’s a bad idea to fall for your best friend. But since when do I say no to bad ideas? Adam: It’s not like I wanted to fall in love with Ben. But I didn’t really have a choice. Not only is he hot, he’s sweet, funny, and insanely talented. We’d both been struggling musicians for years, but even after Ben got signed by a major label, he still wanted to be friends with a nobody like me. Honestly, if he didn’t want me falling for him, he should have been less goddamn perfect. Well, except for the part where he’s straight. Did I forget to mention that? In my defense, responsible decision-making has never been my strong suit. Case in point - collapsing on stage, guitar in hand, after discovering my then-boyfriend, now-ex was cheating on me, and downing a bottle of bourbon in response. But I’m cleaning up my act - no more hiding in the closet and no more bad life choices. But that also means no more waiting around for the day Ben magically decides he likes me. So why did Ben have to pick now to make me question everything I thought I knew about us? Ben: It’s not like I planned this. I was on tour when Adam collapsed back in New York and he wouldn’t even let me come home early to visit him. But that’s Adam for you - brilliant, breathtaking, and pathologically afraid of vulnerability. All I wanted was to be there for him - and him coming out didn’t change that in the slightest. Yeah, I couldn’t help seeing him a little differently. And no, I couldn’t quite explain why I was suddenly noticing the curve of his back, the freckles on his cheeks, or wondering what his lips tasted like. But whatever weird awakening I was having, Adam needed support, not more confusion. And then I kissed him. Whoops. I know it’s fast. I know it’s unexpected. And I know my label would be livid if they found out I was dating a guy. But I also know, deeply and inexplicably, that this could be something real. So h ungekürzt. Language: English.

Randy Coleman-Riese The Cornerstone Forum 2020-12-28 18:20:43 843 B08RF1YJ2G English - Religion & Spirituality English 1.00 9.95 N http://img.audible.de/audiblewords/content/bk/acx0/230009de/lg_image.jpg http://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/230009/bk_acx0_230009_sample.mp3 This is a Girardian-influenced, engagingly written classic on the nature of violence and the hope for overcoming it in our conflict-ridden world. It is also a literary work, an often miraculous interplay between cultural documents and historical periods. Gil Bailie wrote Violence Unveiled in the mid-1990s after learning of René Girard’s mimetic theory of human cultural origins. The mimetic theory posits that human interspecies violence posed an existential threat to the continuation of any early human community until the evolution/discovery of a particular kind of directed social violence – scapegoating violence - which in times of social crisis brought peace and harmony to the community at the expense of what would later be understood as a sacred victim or god who becomes a focus of religious awe. Bailie intertwines various accounts of this phenomenon from history, literature and (then ‘90s) current journalistic sources. The Christian gospel accounts of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and the theological reflection on its effects and meaning are understood as the revelatory unveiling" of the truth of the victim as the source of communal peace. However, with this new knowledge and its moral implications cultures influenced by the Judeo-Christian tradition scapegoating violence has gradually lost its ability to bring people in crisis together. Without a change in the human heart, a conversion, this will eventually lead to apocalyptic forms of violence. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mackenzie Cartwright, Gomez Pugh.
