    Rhys Bellamy is the front man for the wildly successful 13 Shades of Red, a band hailing from New Orleans that is just a bit more than they appear. He's sexy, caustic, and on a path of self-destruction that has everything to do with the fact that he can speak to the dead. A man hounded by the death of his fiancée, Rhys is a lothario of the highest caliber. His life, his band, and his agony celebrate his lost love, Phaedra, and it has made him a very popular man with the ladies, even if they will never mean anything to him. Too bad Phaedra has never and will never contact him. When the band's first US tour meets with some unforeseen management issues, Saffron Richards is brought in to take care of it. A veteran of the business, Saffron knows all about Rhys and his reputation and doesn't want to become another notch on his belt. Too bad fate has it in for the both of them and gives them an attraction neither can deny. Life on the road with an up-and-coming band has its problems, from bosses to groupies to just plain old flat tires. Phaedra, who has been watching from the mists and reveling in the misery of her lost lover doesn't want to see him happy. Phaedra crosses the veils on All Hallow's Eve to reignite the love that Saffron has set to ash in Rhys. Phaedra is not giving him up without a fight. Not because she loves him but because she doesn't ever want him to forget. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gregory Salinas.

    Nirvana Teen Spirit: The Tribute To Kurt Cobain, Hörbuch, Digital, 68min
    Nirvana exploded onto a music scene that had no mind, no depth and no substance. A young audience, sick to the teeth of formula pop and sugar-coated, safe rock was quickly seduced by the dark and dangerous charisma of this loud, angry band hailing from 'nowhere' USA. This band were different. They were multidimensional. The songs could be angry, ugly or beautiful as hell, Kurt Cobain's voice and the thrashing guitars a nightmare or the saddest lament for lost humanity. These paradoxes were the driving force behind one of the best live bands of all time - a real fans' band that loved nothing better than to entertain an audience. Nirvana were not the most fluent nor the most proficient live band, and some of the sets were jagged and raw from start to finish - but there was always an urgency, a latent force and dangerous, drawing spontaneity about them, and Kurt in particular, that sent audiences wild. Featuring exclusive interviews and tracks dedicated to Kurt, this is a moving tribute to Kurt the man and his music from those who were inspired by his extraordinary genius. Bringing together his peers, his friends and those close to the band and not forgetting the loyal fans who keep his memory alive. From Smalltown USA to the dizzying heights of stardom, this audiobook examines Kurt Cobain's life, his musical influences and his death. These are precious moments which bring us nearer to understanding the legend that was Kurt Cobain. He left his troubled life on April 4, 1994, but his urgent message is not forgotten, his genius is not lost and his unique contribution lives on. Language: English.

    Featuring 21 different voices hailing from five different countries and 11 states, Ghosts, Goblins, Murder, and Madness is certain to strike a chord with every horror aficionado.   Devil's Night, Day of the Dead, and Halloween have been celebrated around the world in one form or another, beginning with the ancient Celts more than 2,000 years ago. For some revelers, it's a time for guising, or dressing up in elaborate costume; for others, it's a time for practical jokes and mischief; and for some, it's a reverent occasion to acknowledge the thin line between earth and the spirit world.  In this same vein, the stories in this collection provide a wide-angle lens at what comprises the unique expanse of horror fiction today. From hobgoblins and apparitions, to haunted dwellings and cursed possessions, to good intentions gone awry and evil ones turned on the perpetrator, these 20 tales will unsettle, frighten, tickle, and caution, and in the end, listeners may take heed before ever again accompanying their children trick-or-treating, striking up conversations in anonymous chat rooms, or fortifying their homes in an attempt to prevent Halloween vandalism.   Stories:    "Asking for It" (JR Pepper)"Tenants" (George Plank)"Foul Treats" (Jon Steffens)"The Boatman’s Rhyme" (Neil May)"Gate Night" (Nick Manzolillo)"Dear Dead Jenny" (Ian McDowell)"Alone on Halloween" (Michael Gore)"Home" (Lewis Crane)"The Bathroom Mirror" (Kenneth Stephenson)"Small Bites" (Rebecca Rowland)"The Hermit of Singer’s Creek" (J.

    The California Gold Rush: The History and Legacy of the Forty-Niners and America's Golden Dream , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 87min
    As the spring and summer of 1848 advanced, the reports came faster and faster from the gold-mines at Sutter's sawmill. Stories reached us of fabulous discoveries, and spread throughout the land. Everybody was talking of Gold! gold!!" until it assumed the character of a fever. Some of our soldiers began to desert; citizens were fitting out trains of wagons and pack-mules to go to the mines. We heard of men earning fifty, five hundred, and thousands of dollars per day..." - William Tecumseh Sherman One of the most important and memorable events of the United States' westward push across the frontier came with the discovery of gold in the lands that became California in January, 1848. Located thousands of miles away from the country's power centers on the east coast at the time, the announcement came a month before the Mexican-American War had ended, and among the very few Americans that were near the region at the time, many of them were Army soldiers who were participating in the war and garrisoned there. San Francisco was still best known for being a Spanish military and missionary outpost during the colonial era, and only a few hundred called it home. Mexico's independence, and its possession of those lands, had come only a generation earlier. Everything changed almost literally overnight. While the Mexican-American War technically concluded with a treaty in February 1948, the announcement brought an influx of an estimated 90,000 "Forty-Niners" to the region in 1849, hailing from other parts of America and even as far away as Asia. All told, an estimated 300,000 people would come to California over the next few years. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dennis E. Morris.

    Wild Ride: Inside Uber's Quest for World Domination , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 457min
    Fortune writer and best-selling author of Inside Apple's exposé of Uber, the multibillion-dollar Silicon Valley upstart that has disrupted the transportation industry around the world. Uber is one of the most fascinating and controversial businesses in the world, both beloved for its elegant ride-hailing concept and heady growth and condemned for CEO Travis Kalanick's ruthless pursuit of success at all cost. Despite the company's significance to the on-demand economy and the mobile revolution and the battle for global dominance that Kalanick is waging against politicians and taxi companies all over the world, the full story behind Uber has never been told. It's a story that start-up founders, executives of traditional businesses, tech-savvy listeners, and drivers and riders alike will find riveting. Adam Lashinsky, veteran Fortune writer and author of Inside Apple, traces the story of Uber's rapid growth from its murky origins to its plans for expansion into radically different industries. The company is fighting local competitors and lawmakers for markets around the world; it has already faced riots and protests in cities like Paris, Rio de Janeiro, and Mumbai. It fought, and lost, an expensive and grueling battle against rival Didi in China. Uber has also poached entire departments from top research universities in a push to build the first self-driving car and possibly replace the very drivers it's worked so hard to recruit. Uber is in the headlines every day, but so much about its past and its future plans are still unknown to the public. Lashinsky will offer a look inside Uber's vault in this informative, deeply researched book about the ur-disruptor and its visionary and fierce CEO. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Making Out Like a Virgin: Sex, Desire & Intimacy After Sexual Trauma , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 293min, (USK 18)
    Making Out Like a Virgin: Sex, Desire & Intimacy After Sexual Trauma is a unique and moving collection of personal nonfiction essays that detail how each writer has moved beyond mere survival of sexual trauma to unapologetically discover a sexually and emotionally thriving life. Making Out Like a Virgin is not a collection of victim narratives nor a healing workbook. Instead, this book is a bold new addition to generations of stories told by survivors. The mission of these writers is not to recount their individual trauma but to detail what has helped them reclaim both body and sexual desire. Making Out Like a Virgin serves as a metaphor, giving permission to sizzle and seize the moment. By telling their stories, these writers share their strength and successes found somewhere between the big shifts and small intimate moments, inspiring others while furthering their own healing. The anthology features 17 contributors - women, men, and transgender - from five countries; ranging in age from their mid 20s to their late 60s; hailing from Dubai, Cairo, Dublin, Toronto, Melbourne, and from across the United States. These writers offer answers to: What does it mean to not just survive, but to flourish? Is it possible to ever again feel powerful and confident in one's own body and within relationships? Can someone move beyond being limited or controlled by a tragic event? Making Out Like a Virgin is the collective power of a community of people who have refused to let the circumstances of their younger selves dictate the course of the rest of their lives. The individuals in this community have found the strength to become sexually and emotionally whole - a healing that transcends gender and orientation. ungekürzt. Language: English.

All told, an estimated 300,000 people would come to California over the next few years, as men dangerously trekked thousands of miles in hopes of making a fortune, and in a span of months, San Francisco's population exploded, making it one of the first mining boomtowns to truly spring up in the West. This was a pattern that would repeat itself across the West anytime a mineral discovery was made, from the Southwest and Tombstone to the Dakotas and Deadwood. Of course, that was made possible by the collective memory of the original California gold rush. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dennis E. Morris.

    The Important Thing Is That I'm Pretty, Hörbuch, Digital, 46min, (USK 18)
    Very funny! says Bob Saget. "A brilliant writer," says Howard Stern. Called the "female Dennis Miller", and with an edginess compared to Amy Schumer, everything is a target and nothing is off limits for Kat Radley. Her quick-fire anecdotes as well as her hilarious pop culture references have earned her accolades from Bob Saget and Howard Stern. Hailing from Montclair, Virginia, Kat Radley began her stand-up comedian career as a contestant in Rooftop Comedy's National College Comedy Competition. After being voted into the final four by the public, Radley landed a coveted spot in the Aspen Comedy Festival, representing her alma mater, UVA. Prior to her public debut, Radley unwittingly honed her craft during her upbringing in a large Irish Catholic family, each sibling claiming to be funnier than the next. Beyond her siblings, much of Radley's passion and early inspiration for comedy comes from a combination of her fondness and admiration for the Spartan Cheerleaders of Saturday Night Live and Conan O'Brien's quick, infectious wit on Late Night with Conan O'Brien. Since launching her career, Radley made her stand-up television debut on FOX's Laughs and appeared in many notable festivals, including the Out of Bounds, Laughing Skull, and Women in Comedy festivals. She was also a finalist in the Magners Comedy Festival and the World Series of Comedy, where she took home the Friars Club Audience Award and earned the distinction of Comic to Watch from Time Out New York. In addition to appearing at festivals, Radley performs improv and sketch at the Upright Citizens Brigade and IOWest Comedy Theaters in Los Angeles and hosts her own YouTube talk show, A Chat with Kat.
