The Florentine Deception: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 629min
A seemingly mundane computer cleanup leads to an electrifying quest for an enigmatic - and deadly - treasure in this gripping techno-thriller. After selling his dorm-room startup for millions and effectively retiring at the age of 25, Alex Fife is eager for a new challenge. When he agrees to clean up an old PC as a favor, he never expects to find the adventure of a lifetime waiting for him inside the machine. But as he rummages through old emails, Alex stumbles upon a startling discovery: The previous owner, a shady antiques smuggler, had been trying to unload a mysterious object known as the Florentine on the black market. And with the dealer's untimely passing, the Florentine is now unaccounted for and ripe for the taking. Alex dives headfirst into a hunt for the priceless object. What starts out as a seemingly innocuous pursuit quickly devolves into a nightmare when Alex discovers the true technological nature of the Florentine. Not just a lost treasure, it's something far more insidious: a weapon that could bring the developed world to its knees. Alex races through subterranean grottos, freezing morgues, and hidden cellars in the dark underbelly of Los Angeles, desperate to find the Florentine before it falls into the wrong hands. Because if nefarious forces find it first, there'll be nothing Alex - or anyone else - can do to prevent a catastrophic attack. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Nick Podehl.

Tales from Beyond the Pale, Season One, Volume 1: Man on the Ledge & The Hole Digger, Hörbuch, Digital, 66min
Conceived during a fog-drenched car ride with nothing beyond the windshield but a horizon-less void, Larry Fessenden and Glenn McQuaid created the acclaimed Tales from Beyond the Pale, audio theater inspired by the vintage radio shows of Alfred Hitchcock and Orson Welles. Volume 1 features two episodes from the first season, including "Man on the Ledge" by Joe Maggio and "The Hole Digger" by Larry Fessenden. The series was produced by filmmakers Larry Fessenden, Glenn McQuaid, and Lisa Wisely. In "Man on the Ledge", written and directed by Joe Maggio, a man reflects on his life - and imminent death - while perched on a ledge overlooking Manhattan. Through a series of surprising reveals, what begins as a touching soliloquy on human frailty slowly devolves into a psychotic screed as our ledge-dweller’s misdeeds are slowly brought to light. Starring Vincent D’Onofrio as the man on the ledge, with Larry Fessenden as Bill Coley, the officer charged with talking him down. Featuring John Speredakos, Nick Damici, and Greg Amici. "The Hole Digger", written and directed by Larry Fessenden, concerns "the summer that everything changed, that summer in Cape Cod when me and my brother first found the hole dug down in the dunes in front of our house. Whether it was for a grave or a treasure, that hole changed our lives for good." Larry Fessenden’s haunting tale stars James Le Gros and Owen and Tobias Campbell, and features Kevin Corrigan, Heather Robb, and Joel Garland. Language: English.

Sweetening Principal Parker: A Bimbofication Transformation Fantasy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 30min, (USK 18)
Clive is having a horrible day. Caught "purple-handed" with two little purple tablets in his sweaty palm just before he manages to slip them to his evil classmate and archenemy Susie Jibbly, Clive is shoved off to the principal's office from where, rumor has it, no student ever returns. Principal Parker is the scariest kind of woman of all: old, gray-haired, conservative, and in a position of power it's obvious she's inclined to misuse. Clive is prepared for her decision on his ruthless punishment; but when the principal is called out of her office for just a moment, Clive is left alone and realizes his one opportunity to affect the outcome of his dreaded visit to the principal's office. Principal Parker presumed he was caught trying to pass candy to his classmate, but the truth is far worse. The unassuming little purple pills Clive stole from his father's lab have a chemical effect Clive isn't even aware of, but they drop and dissolve into the principal's coffee mug quite nicely. When Principal Parker returns, Clive watches her sip at her coffee and gradually, completely unexpectedly begin to change with every gulp. It's sweet - she can't resist it - and soon, she can't resist enjoying her newly pert and youthful body and all the urges that come with it. Principal Parker's personality devolves as she transforms into a sexy, girlish plaything treating her student to a private display of her new body...as well as a taste, an intimate demonstration of all the fun it's capable of, and a twice-repeated lesson in what it means to become a man. ungekürzt.

A Head Full of Ghosts , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 529min
A chilling thriller that brilliantly blends domestic drama, psychological suspense, and a touch of modern horror, reminiscent of Mark Z. Danielewski's House of Leaves, John Ajvide Lindqvist's Let the Right One In, and Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House. The lives of the Barretts, a normal suburban New England family, are torn apart when 14-year-old Marjorie begins to display signs of acute schizophrenia. To her parents' despair, the doctors are unable to stop Marjorie's descent into madness. As their stable home devolves into a house of horrors, they reluctantly turn to a local Catholic priest for help. Father Wanderly suggests an exorcism; he believes the vulnerable teenager is the victim of demonic possession. He also contacts a production company that is eager to document the Barretts' plight. With John, Marjorie's father, out of work for more than a year and the medical bills looming, the family agrees to be filmed and soon find themselves the unwitting stars of The Possession, a hit reality television show. When events in the Barrett household explode in tragedy, the show and the shocking incidents it captures become the stuff of urban legend. Fifteen years later a best-selling writer interviews Marjorie's younger sister, Merry. As she recalls those long-ago events that took place when she was just eight years old, long-buried secrets and painful memories that clash with what was broadcast on television begin to surface - and a mind-bending tale of psychological horror is unleashed, raising vexing questions about memory and reality, science and religion, and the very nature of evil. ungekürzt.

Navigating the boundaries between DZ and LA proper is a tricky task, and there's no one better suited than eccentric private investigator Erasmus Keane. So when movie mogul Selah Fiore decides she needs to get her hands on a rare coin lost somewhere in the city, she knows Keane is the man for the job. But while the erratic Keane and his more sensible partner, Blake Fowler, struggle to unravel the mystery of the elusive coin, Blake's girlfriend, Gwen, goes missing, and Selah Fiore turns up murdered. Both of these crimes seem to be linked to the coin - and to an untraceable virtual currency called iotas, used by drug dealers and terrorist networks. Framed for Selah's murder and desperate to find Gwen, Keane and Fowler must outwit DZ warlords, outmaneuver a reclusive billionaire, and stay a step ahead of the police while they gradually uncover the truth about iotas. Soon the clues begin to point to a conspiracy at the highest levels of government - and to a mysterious trickster who has orchestrated it all.

Her Pocket Boyfriend: A Shrinking Transformation Erotica & Giantess Fantasy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 39min, (USK 18)
One Irreversible Mistake Leads to a Whole New World of Sensual Pleasure Gary adores his girlfriend Jennifer and dotes on every single day he gets to enjoy the pleasures of such a perfect relationship. Their sex life is thriving; their compatibility is through the roof. There's nothing Gary lacks, nothing he'd dream of having or experiencing that he doesn't have already. So, why does he spontaneously decide to tamper with such good fortune? Because it comes packaged with an enticing label. Because it's endorsed by a well-hung porn star. Because Gary doesn't like how he feels when his beloved girlfriend calls him little. Gary only lacks one measly inch - of height, that is. But that teasing endearment too often used by Jennifer stings him with the instant fear of masculine inadequacy. So, Gary takes it upon himself to toy with nature itself. He invests in a male enhancement supplement. Oh, the successive sessions of heated passion with Jennifer are of the sort neither of them will ever forget, especially after Gary's temporary enlargement devolves into a sudden, undeniable, and very rapid sapping of his height itself. Gary's shrinking, and there's nothing he or his girlfriend can do about it. Faced with the sudden, shocking horror of the degenerative results of his impulsive pill-popping, Jennifer and Gary jointly begin to mourn the illustrious, lust-filled relationship they had exalted in just minutes before. Until their close-knit connection and need for comfort and reassurance draw them to touch each other once again. Gary may be a fraction of his former self, but that doesn't mean his virility has been affected in the least. He may be a palm-sized partner now, but that means there's just more of Jennifer's beautiful body to love. They never could've guessed the sexual possibilities, but they're definitely eager to find out. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Me.
