  Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media (altrusiangrace.com) and human-narrated by Matthew Schmitz.
   
  In “The Mandrakes,” Clark Ashton Smith tells a grim Averoigne tale about Gilles Grenier, a sorcerer who murders his wife Sabine and buries her beneath a patch of mandrakes near his hut; when he later harvests the plants for use in his famous love-philtres, he discovers that the roots have grown into uncanny female-shaped likenesses of Sabine herself, quivering, crying out when cut, and bleeding as though alive. Rather than recoiling, Gilles exploits them for profit, brewing even more potent enchantments, but the potions inspire not love but hatred, madness, and violence in those who drink them. His crime is finally exposed when a mandrake-root, speaking in Sabine’s own voice, directs the authorities to her grave, leading to Gilles’s conviction for both sorcery and murder and ending the story as a macabre moral fable about greed, desecration, and the corrupting consequences of tampering with death.

  What if every vote you cast, every political movement you believed in, every democratic choice you made was nothing more than calculated output from an algorithm designed to maintain the illusion of freedom? Investigative journalist Maya Lennox stumbles upon the truth behind PULSE—an AI-driven system so sophisticated it doesn't just predict elections, it orchestrates them. From manufactured candidates to engineered crises, from social media manipulation to the very fabric of political discourse, nothing is real. Everything is code. 
  As Maya delves deeper into the conspiracy, she discovers a shadowy network of power brokers led by the enigmatic Xander Cole, a mastermind who has perfected the art of democratic manipulation. From Swiss Alps boardrooms to Silicon Valley server farms, from Capitol Hill to digital underground resistance movements, the battle for humanity's free will reaches a breaking point. But in a world where reality itself is programmable, can truth still prevail? Or has democracy already been deleted from existence? 
  STEALING DEMOCRACY is a metafictional techno-political thriller that blurs the lines between narrative and reality, challenging listeners to question: In the age of AI and algorithmic control, was your choice ever truly yours? Narrated by Bradford Sinclair with a full voice cast featuring Adeline Harper, Samuel Cross, Grant Wyatt, and more.

  Highway Thirteen - Stories

  "McFarlane’s skill in evoking individual inner lives and Jones’s deftness in capturing their spirit make every character distinct."  —The Washington Post on The Sun Walks Down, one of The Washington Post's 10 Best Audiobooks of 2023A gripping, enigmatic collection of linked short stories about the reverberations of a serial killer’s crimes in the lives of everyday people. In 1998, an apparently ordinary Australian man is arrested and charged for a series of brutal murders. The news shocks the nation, bringing both horror and resolution to the victims’ families, but its impact travels even further: into the past, as the murders rewrite personal histories, and into the future, as true crime podcasts and biopics tell the story of the crimes. Highway Thirteen, Fiona McFarlane’s newest collection, takes murder as its starting point, but it unfolds to encompass much more: through the investigation of the aftermath of this violence across time and place, from the killer’s childhood town to Texas, Rome, and tropical northern Australia, McFarlane presents an oblique, entrancing exploration of the way stories are told and spread, and at what cost. What damages, big and small, do these crimes incur? How do communities make sense of such atrocities? How does the mourning of families sit alongside the public fascination with terrible crimes? And can we tell true crime stories without centering the killers? From the acclaimed author of The Sun Walks Down and The High Places comes a captivating account of loss and its extended echoes in individual lives.A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux.
