    The Different World of Fin Starling , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 438min
    Wagners Creek, otherwise known as the arse-end of the Earth, is the home of the mutton-bird, the carrion crow, and the remarkable Fin Starling. Son of the local provider of "special services", Fin is different from other children and soon it becomes clear that he is something of a miracle-worker as he transforms the dirt-poor shantytown into a place of pilgrimage. Elizabeth Stead's gently comic portrait of Wagners Creek is handled with benevolent grace. Yet beneath the comedy runs an unsettling undercurrent and the suspicion that Fin's birthplace exists in a parallel universe where different laws operate. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Angry and distressed, the villagers instinctively turn against the only stranger in their midst, the famous pop star and teenage idol Vince Peters. But Superintendent Wycliffe is not so sure. Slowly, methodically, he begins to dig beneath the calm surface of the community - and soon uncovers a violent undercurrent of fear and guilt... Language: English. Narrator: Jack Shepherd.

    Darkly: Black History and America's Gothic Soul , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 349min
    Leila Taylor takes us into the dark heart of the American gothic, analyzing the ways it relates to race in America in the 21st century.Haunted houses, bitter revenants, and muffled heartbeats under floorboards - the American Gothic is a macabre tale based on a true story. Part memoir and part cultural critique, Darkly: Black History and America's Gothic Soul explores American culture's inevitable gothicity in the traces left from chattel slavery. The persistence of white supremacy and the ubiquity of black deaths feed a national culture of terror and a perpetual undercurrent of mourning. If the gothic narrative is metabolized fear; if the goth aesthetic is romanticized melancholy; what does that look and sound like in Black America? ungekürzt.
