Beschreibung

A legendary Hollywood house comes complete with uninvited guests in this thriller from theaward-winning comic book writer and co-creator of Nexus.   Stunned by the sudden deaths of his wife and mother, comic artist Kendall Coffin moves to LA for film work, using his inheritance to buy the bizarro futuristic Hollywood home of a famous director who was notorious for his wild parties.   Legendary filmmaker Darryl Wyrick would spin in his grave if he knew the types of movies his studio now makes. He may yet. Wyrick was cryogenically frozen and waits for technology to revive him.   Kendall’s work for Wyrick Studios draws him into a netherworld of twisted sexual fantasies . . . and the house itself seems to come alive. Radios turn themselves on. Screams in the night.   And what is the significance of the theater with its proscenium of ancient temple stones?   Kendall meets Ronnie, the girl of his dreams, who works for Wyrick World, the amusement park, playing Illeana the Illusionist. Ronnie knows a few tricks of her own.   As a serial killer stalks the young and vulnerable, Ronnie convinces Kendall to hold a séance, and Kendall’s Hollywood dream house turns into a nightmare as deaths pile up and a monstrous specter stalks the land.  “Mike Baron is Quentin Tarantino on paper.” —Kevin J. Anderson, New York Times–bestselling author

    Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus by Mary Shelley is presented in this unabridged audiobook as a dark, atmospheric journey into obsession, creation, and responsibility. When Victor Frankenstein animates life from dead matter, he unleashes a being who is both terrifying and deeply human—longing for companionship yet driven to rage by rejection. As creator and creature circle each other in fear, guilt, and vengeance, Shelley’s classic Gothic tale explores what it truly means to be a monster, and what happens when ambition outpaces conscience. This audiobook is ideal for listeners who enjoy psychological horror, rich prose, and timeless questions about science, ethics, and the soul.

    The best-selling author of The Waters (a Read with Jenna Book Club Pick) returns with a tale of love, transgression, and the miraculous healing power of the holiday table. 
    In this contemporary Christmas Carol, Bonnie Jo Campbell has created a complex, gritty, spooky, and ultimately heartwarming holiday story that unfolds in an isolated farmhouse. It is the night before Christmas in a small town in Michigan, and a young woman is haunted by her father’s death. She has been silently penitent for nine years, but being stuck in the past has embittered her, made her cut herself off emotionally from her community and her family, despite her deep devotion to them. When a surprising guest appears at the (dreaded) Christmas Eve dinner, the family opens up to reveal their secrets. Redemption is never easy or wholesale, but sometimes a family needs a good story as much as they need to face the truth. In this remarkable exploration of crime and punishment, salvation arrives at the darkest hour. The power of familial love and a sense of humor promise a brighter and more joyful new beginning for the whole family.

    The story traces the history of the titular street in a New England city, presumably Boston, from its first beginnings as "but a path" in colonial times to a quasi-supernatural occurrence in the years immediately following World War I. As the city grows up around the street, it is planted with many trees and built along with "simple, beautiful houses of brick and wood", each with a rose garden. As the Industrial Revolution runs its course, the area degenerates into a run-down and polluted slum, with all of the street's old houses falling into disrepair.
    After World War I and the October Revolution, the area becomes home to a community of Russian immigrants. Among the new residents is the leadership of a "vast band of terrorists," who are plotting the destruction of the United States on Independence Day. When the day arrives, the terrorists gather to do the deed, but before they can get started, all the houses in the street collapse concurrently on top of each other, killing them all. Observers at the scene testify that immediately after the collapse, they experienced visions of the trees and rose gardens that had once been in the street.

    "There you are Doctor, we were looking everywhere for you. We have another job for you," an orderly said. 
    "For heaven's sake don't beat around the bush!" Grumbled the Doctor. 
    "Another freshy for you!" said the orderly. 
    "Please refrain from referring to them as freshies call them a dead person!" hissed the doctor. 
    "Ok another dead person!" said the orderly. 
    "Take me to them," the doctor demanded. 
    "Doctor Death has come to do his job," announced the orderly to the nervous nurse inside the room with the body. 
    "I'm a coroner, not Doctor Death," said the Doctor entering the room. 
    "So sorry!" a reaper said walking out of the room. The doctor ran to the bedside of the dead person. 
    "Oh my god no," the doctor said weeping tears of blue electric fire which crystalized betraying his inhumanity to his colleagues.

    A POWERFUL FULL-CAST DRAMATIC MARATHON  
     
    “Beware; for I am fearless, and therefore powerful.”  
     
    Mary Shelley was an English novelist who wrote the Gothic novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus in 1818, which is considered an early example of science fiction. She also edited and promoted the works of her husband, the Romantic poet, and philosopher Percy Bysshe Shelley. Her father was the political philosopher William Godwin and her mother the philosopher and feminist activist Mary Wollstonecraft. 
     
    Shelley's mother died less than a month after giving birth to her. She was raised by her father, who provided her with a rich if informal education, encouraging her to adhere to his own anarchist political theories. When she was four, her father married a neighbor, Mary Jane Clairmont, with whom Shelley came to have a troubled relationship. 
     
    In 1814, Shelley began a romance with one of her father's political followers, Percy Bysshe Shelley, who was already married. Together with her stepsister, Claire Clairmont, she and Percy left for France and traveled through Europe. Upon their return to England, Shelley was pregnant with Percy's child. Over the next two years, she and Percy faced ostracism, constant debt, and the death of their prematurely born daughter. They married in late 1816, after the suicide of Percy Shelley's first wife, Harriet. 
     
    In 1816, the couple and her stepsister famously spent a summer with Lord Byron and John William Polidori near Geneva, Switzerland, where Shelley conceived the idea for her novel Frankenstein. The Shelleys left Britain in 1818 for Italy, where their second and third children died before Shelley gave birth to her last and only surviving child, Percy Florence Shelley.
