    Michael Sullivan is a talented lyricist and a decent guitarist, but since he was kicked out of his band (and his apartment), he's not sure he'll ever get a record deal. Living with his loser uncle in a beat-up trailer and working a dead-end job, Michael has little reason to hope for a better future. Until the invitation for a swanky New Year's Eve party shows up in the mailbox. It's for his uncle, with whom he shares his name, but his uncle is going out of town . . .  
     
    On the effervescent night of December 31, 1989--as the Berlin Wall is coming down, the Soviet Union is inching toward democracy, and anything seems possible--Michael will cross paths with the accomplished and enigmatic young heir to a fading musical dynasty, forever altering both of their futures.  
     
    Award-winning novelist Erin Bartels enchants with this story of two lonely souls who have exactly what the other one needs--if they could simply turn their focus from what is ending to what is just beginning.

    Once upon a time, he was a heartthrob, on top of the world, finally with the woman he loved. Ever since he saw Joy across the street at 15, he couldn't take his eyes off her. Their fiery passion and attitude were a match for each other. 
    The hotel became a second home, a place of fights but also of discovery, of personality clashes that turned into friendships, of a fantasy life free from the stresses of the world. They may have fell in love in Queens, but they stayed in love in Hotel Gaelon. 
    One day, hotel staff opened the paper to find Joy was dead and buried across the world at only 26, her widow beside her grave at 23. At that age, if you were lucky enough to find the love of your life by then, you were supposed to living life up to the fullest, romance, flowers, late-night clubs, easy living. Your whole life was in front of you. The things you weren't supposed to be doing were the things Todd did, essentially. Bury your love, become a widower and a parent, with a child he would likely one day bury as well. 
    When a grieving Todd brings Veronica, the secret daughter of Joy, to the hotel and introduces her to the world in the same spot he introduced her mother, they can't help but be shocked. As their visit goes on, the staff feels like it's seeing ghosts, transported back to a time five years ago when Joy was alive. Veronica's looks, movements, and actions imitate Joy's so much, it sends shivers down their spine. She truly is her mother's child.

    Author: Robert E. Howard 
    Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
    Original Publication: 1929 
    Public Domain: Yes 
    Series: Timeless Terrors 
    Number: 107 
    Description: 
    Skulls in the Stars is a haunting tale of supernatural horror set along a lonely stretch of rural road where few travelers dare to pass after dark. When a determined frontiersman named Solomon Kane encounters frightened locals avoiding a certain path through the hills, he learns of a sinister legend surrounding a nearby hollow — a place where ghostly lights drift beneath the night sky and an unseen terror stalks the darkness. 
    Refusing to be ruled by fear or superstition, Kane resolves to walk the cursed road himself. As night falls and the stars shine cold above the desolate landscape, he soon discovers that the stories hold a terrible truth. An ancient and restless horror lingers there, born from violence and injustice long buried in the past, waiting for the living to cross its path. 
    In this eerie and atmospheric story, Robert E. Howard blends frontier adventure with chilling supernatural dread. The stark countryside, the creeping sense of menace, and Kane’s grim resolve create a powerful narrative of courage confronting the unknown. 
    Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance brings the tension and dark folklore of Howard’s classic weird tale vividly to life. Skulls in the Stars remains one of the most memorable early adventures of Solomon Kane and a standout example of pulp-era supernatural fiction.

    Jean Marie Vianney always found it hard to learn. In fact, he made history by receiving a zero as his examination mark after his first year of study in the seminary. But with determination, and with God’s help, he won through. He became a hard-working parish priest and then a pastor – the beloved Cure of Ars.Week by week, year by year, his fame as an advisor and a confessor grew. People flocked from great distances to his little church, and privately, among themselves, they called him “saint”. The devil, furious at the ever-increasing number of souls being saved by the Cure, tempted and taunted the priest and even persecuted him physically. But Satan found he had met his match.Eva K. Betz was a prolific catholic writer of biographical and historical books for children. (Summary from the dust jacket and Maria Therese)
