Mystery, Thriller & Horror Audiobooks

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. As Hitler's forces advance into the bombed-out ruins of Stalingrad, a lone Soviet soldier named Ivan Kuznetsov is about to discover that a far deadlier evil lurks in the shadows. While fortifying his isolated position, Ivan witnesses strange shapes moving with otherworldly speed and menacing eyes glowing red in the darkness. When dogs refuse to approach, and comrades start turning up, drained of blood, chilling rumors circulate among the ranks. Are the old legends true - have vampiric beings emerged to feed amidst the carnage? Ivan finds himself alone against an unholy scourge as the attacks grow bolder. Trapped in a battle between the advancing Nazis and hordes of feral vampires, he must survive the longest and bloodiest battle of WWII. And if the horrors surrounding him don't kill Ivan first, the truth he uncovers along the way just might: these are no mere bloodthirsty beasts but avatars of an ancient evil far darker than any earthly war... Inspired by true battlefield accounts and the occult mysticism surrounding WWII, transports readers back behind one of history's deadliest fronts, where humanity wages war against predatory nightmares from beyond the veil.

[Russian] - Потомокъ. На стороне мертвецов

Долгожданное продолжение «Потомка»: «Потомокъ. На стороне мертвецов»! В альтернативной Российской Империи у власти стоят потомки древнеславянских богов. С годами в обществе развивается малокровие, божественная сила слабеет, и генетическое наследие, передаваемое поколениями, становится все меньше и меньше. А вдобавок ко всему еще и проблемы с нечистью. Именно Митя Меркулов разобрался с угрозой восставших мертвецов и избавил уезд от их вторжения. Вот только никто об этом не знает… Впрочем, Мите не до того: ему предстоит поездка в губернский город с отцом, а бабушка отправила ему посылку с новыми, модными вещами! Мите не терпится показать свету свои наряды, особенно губернским красавицам. Однако, для потомка древнего рода все совсем не так просто. Наступление нечисти, семейные проклятья, оборотни и, конечно, мертвецы… Как тут успеть расслабиться?

Chaos Terminal

Mallory Viridian would rather not be an amateur detective, and fled to outer space to avoid it…but when one of the new human arrivals on a space shuttle is murdered, she's back in the game. Mallory Viridian would rather not be an amateur detective, thank you very much. But no matter what she does, people persist in dying around her-and only she seems to be able to solve the crime. After fleeing to an alien space station in hopes that the lack of humans would stop the murders, a serial killer had the nerve to follow her to Station Eternity. (Mallory deduced who the true culprit was that time, too.) Now the law enforcement agent who hounded Mallory on Earth has come to Station Eternity, along with her teenage crush and his sister, Mallory's best friend from high school. Mallory doesn't believe in coincidences, and so she's not at all surprised when someone in the latest shuttle from Earth is murdered. It's the story of her life, after all. Only this time she has more than a killer to deal with. Between her fugitive friends, a new threat arising from the Sundry hivemind, and the alarmingly peculiar behavior of the sentient space station they all call home, even Mallory's deductive abilities are strained. If she can't find out what's going on (and fast), a disaster of intergalactic proportions may occur.…

Microserfs & Girlfriend in a Coma: Two Full-Cast BBC Radio Dramatisations

Coupland's iconic novels brought to life in two full-cast adaptations Bursting onto the literary scene in 1991 with his debut Generation X, Douglas Coupland's novels swiftly established themselves as modern classics and brought the term 'Gen X' into the mainstream. His work still has resonance in today's world, with his vivid explorations of identity and creativity in the post-Baby Boomer generations. These pitch perfect adaptions probe our modern popular culture, with the author's signature wry twists and unsettling revelations. In this brand new adaptation by Theo Toksvig-Stewart, Douglas Coupland's brilliantly funny novel Microserfs takes a microscope to working culture in the early days of the tech boom. Dan is a Microsoft employee in desperate need of 'a life'. His world can be summed up as eat, sleep, code, repeat, and he's not quite feeling himself. So when the chance comes along for him and his friends to leave Microsoft to form a Silicon Valley start-up called OOP!, will they take the risk and leap into the unknown? In an unflinching and hilarious story, Dan and the other Microserfs try to find purpose, love and identity in the real world. Perhaps one of Coupland's most iconic novels, Girlfriend in a Coma begins in December 1979 when 17-year-old Karen unexpectedly falls into a deep coma after a teen house party. Frighteningly, she'd predicted the end of the world in a letter sent to her boyfriend before she collapsed. Fifteen years later, Karen wakes up. The world in 1997 is a very different and confusing place. Her friends have grown up and their reality bears little resemblance to the hopes and dreams they shared in their youth. There are questions that need to be answered, time is running out and Karen must act. Available as a double bill for the first time, these stunning adaptations are a fantastic listen. Performed by a full cast with production by Sony award-winning producer Dan Rebellato, these stories make for a stellar audio experience not to be missed.

Extended Stay

In a rundown neighborhood in the heart of Las Vegas, the Alicia hotel awakens and beckons to the most vulnerable-those with something to hide. After his parents are killed in a horrific roadside execution, Alvaro flees his home in Colombia and finds work as a line cook at the seedy hotel. Together with his sister, Carmen, he begins to make a new life in the desert, earning a promotion to management along with an irresistible offer to stay at the hotel rent-free. But as beloved photographs go missing and grotesque strangers wander the corridors, the promise of the Alicia decays into nightmare. Alvaro discovers that the hotel is a small appendage of an enormous creature that feeds on guests and their secrets, one that will eventually bring him face-to-face with the memories he most wants to outrun. Alvaro, Carmen, and their friends decide to cooperate with the creature. But in their efforts to appease it, do they sacrifice too much of themselves? Haunting and visceral, Extended Stay uses the language of body horror and the gothic to comment on the complicated relationship between the Latinx undocumented experience and capitalism, the erasure of those living and working on the margins, the heavy toll exacted by memory, and the queasy permeability of boundaries that separate the waking world from the world of dreams.

The Suffering

'It was a suffering like no other. And, oh, how they suffered.' Recreating the seance that led to the infamous Victorian Suffering massacre seems like a good idea at the time. But Kyle Birbeck soon discovers that the ghosts his distant ancestor banished into the walls of Brackenby House in 1876 have been lurking, waiting for a chance to come out. One by one the five terrifying ghosts latch onto each of the students who reside at Brackenby, preying on their deepest fears: A three-eyed Incan giant. A member of the Hellfire Club who struck a deal with the devil to keep his fortune in the afterlife. A thieving factory hand who fell to his death, torturing them with endless footsteps. An oracle with a horde of dead sailors to do her bidding, and a seventeenth century axe-wielding executioner with a murderous hobby. It's up to Kyle and his friends to uncover the real secrets of the seance and banish the ghosts for good. But they soon come to realize it isn't Brackenby House that's haunted. They are. And the ghosts will stop at nothing to continue The Suffering . . . Contains mature themes.
