  What if horror didn’t crawl, speak, or breathe - but fell from the sky? The Colour Out of Space is not just a story; it’s a chilling descent into a nightmare beyond human understanding. When a strange meteorite crashes onto a quiet New England farm, it leaves behind something impossible to describe - an unnatural presence that seeps into the land, the animals, and the people who live there. Crops rot, livestock change, and the air itself feels wrong as an invisible force spreads with silent, relentless intent. As you listen, dread builds slowly, twisting curiosity into fear while the familiar world decays into something alien and terrifying. This audiobook draws you deep into classic cosmic horror, where science fails and humanity stands powerless before the unknown. By the final moments, you won’t just understand the horror - you’ll feel it lingering, glowing faintly in the darkness long after the story ends. Press play, and discover a terror that cannot be named… only endured.

  “I was so engrossed in this and read it in a day . . . kept me gripped!” —Goodreads reviewer, five starsIs it grief—or guilt? A doctor investigates a colleague in mourning in this addictive mystery by the author of Deadly Diagnosis. When she pays a condolence call to medical secretary Sara Wiseman, Dr. Cathy Moreland is a bit taken aback to find Sara more upset about the recent suspicious death of her colleague at the hospital than the loss of her own mother. But Cathy is far more surprised when Sara’s husband later confides that he suspects Sara was having an affair with the dead doctor—and that he fears it was the least of her transgressions. Could she have had something to do with not only his demise but with her own mother’s? When the postmortem reveals the doctor had a chemical in his system that was stored in the pathology lab—and it becomes apparent that a large amount of the toxin has gone missing—Cathy agrees to assist her friend and fellow doctor Suzalinna in the investigation. She can only hope she doesn’t wind up in the mortuary herself . . .Praise for the Dr. Cathy Moreland Mysteries “Fabulous . . . well plotted story and great characters.” —Peter Boon, author of Who Killed Miss Finch?

  Marian Ffarmer is a world-renowned poet and a legend in the making—but only now, at seventy-five years old, is she beginning to believe in the security of her successes. Unfortunately, a poet's accomplishments don't necessarily translate to capital, and as her adult son struggles to buy his first home, her confidence in her choices begins to fray. Marian's pristine life of mind—for which she's sacrificed nearly all personal relationships, from romance to friendship to motherhood—has come at a cost. 
   
   
    
  Then comes a cryptic invitation from the Tech Company. Come to California, the invitation beckons, and write with a machine. The Company's lucrative offer—for Marian to coauthor a poem in a 'historic partnership' with their cutting-edge poetry bot, named Charlotte—chafes at everything she believes about artmaking as an individual pursuit . . . yet, it's a second chance she can't resist. And so to California she goes, a sell-out and a skeptic, for an encounter that will unsettle her life, her work, and even her understanding of kinship. 
   
   
    
  Both a love letter to and interrogation of the nature of language, art, labor, capital, family, and community, Do You Remember Being Born? is Scotiabank Giller Prize winner Sean Michaels's empathetic response to some of the most disquieting questions of our time.

  🧵 Notions shop owner and sewing supply expert Zippy Martin is preparing for the annual Craft Expo when the expo's main organizer—a ruthless sewing machine magnate—is found dead in her store, strangled with a measuring tape from her own notions wall. The police suspect a robbery gone wrong, but Zippy notices the tape measure has been deliberately altered and the victim's expo notes contain coded messages about supply chain manipulation. With her notions shop temporarily closed and the crafting community in stitches, Zippy must pin down the truth before her business unravels completely. Assisted by her sewing circle and the handsome industrial designer analyzing the compromised tools, Zippy uncovers a scheme involving counterfeit sewing notions, stolen fastener patents, and a plot to monopolize the craft supply market. From suspicious thread spools with inconsistent yardage to zipper teeth that don't match manufacturer specifications, every notion tells a story. But when Zippy discovers the victim was systematically driving small notions shops out of business to create a crafting monopoly, she realizes the killer is protecting local businesses from a corporate takeover. With the craft expo days away and the real culprit still snapping up secrets, Zippy must measure up as a sleuth before her own shop gets permanently buttoned up.

She's found herself a great podcast that's going to help her get there. Until she finds that her online self-help guru has feet of clay – feet which are much closer to her restaurant than seems possible. 
   
  Even more disruptive is the attack on a well known writer in Charlie's quiet Chilterns village of Hampden Green, and the arrest of the village's own celebrity shock jock. Charlie finds herself dealing with more than she can cope with, and never sure where the next attack will come from. Then mere backstabbing turns to murder…
