Kids Thriller

Der Klassiker des Großmeisters Stephen King erstmals als deutsches Hörbuch. Auf einer Insel vor der Küste des US-Bundesstaates Maine wird eine männliche Leiche gefunden, die nicht identifiziert werden kann. Ein paar hartnäckige Lokaljournalisten recherchieren den Fall, aber je mehr Spuren sie verfolgen, desto geheimnisvoller wird das Ganze. Handelt es sich um ein schier unmögliches Verbrechen? Oder sogar um etwas noch Befremdlicheres...?

Eine Frau nachts allein in einem großen Haus - plötzlich erweist sich ihre Angst vor Einbrechern als begründet. Kann sie den ungebetenen Besucher davon überzeugen, dass sie nicht die wohlhabende Bewohnerin, sondern nur der Homesitter ist? Eine ebenso spannende wie groteske Situation entwickelt sich und offenbart allmählich ihren Hintersinn. Diese und eine weitere Geschichte finden sich auf diesem Krimi-Hörbuch.

The summer of 1983 is over. After weeks of healing from their adventure and some specialized training from Mr. Rakow, Angie, Jenny, and David are feeling prepared for the horrors junior high will inevitably bring. Then a bizarre tornado tears through Lincoln, upending gravestones and depositing supernatural debris on the school grounds. The gang has their hands full with the demands of starting a new school year on top of trying to figure out the otherworldly mystery. But the malevolent ghost haunting the school is ramping up its attacks on students.

As a native English speaker, Luka Williamson isn’t expecting much from La Ciudad del Ingles. He has volunteered to spend one week talking with Spaniards who want to improve their English, in exchange for a free vacation at a luxury resort in the countryside. The program begins with a tour of La Alberca, a nearby UNESCO heritage town where a sacred pig roams the streets and the shops sell loins of jamón for tourists to take home. But the local history lesson quickly takes a back seat when a postal worker is found murdered in an alleyway near the town’s main church.

In 1983, Angie, Jenny, and David are watching MTV, riding bikes, and looking forward to their summer vacation before they start junior high school. Lincoln, Nebraska, is a pretty quiet place to grow up, and when the kids take off at 5:00 a.m. to deliver newspapers on Jenny’s route, they aren’t expecting trouble. So when a creature straight out of a horror movie appears, the kids are forced to draw on their wits, their strengths, and most of all their friendship to survive.

They give you just enough to keep you comfortable and quiet...if you're willing to put up all the burdensome regulations and intrusions into your private. And most people do. But is it worth it? At long last, William Oudeis didn't think so. But then it cost him everything. "SlumberJoy, a global matress-manufacturing company, had its largest US plant in Doulosville, Oklahoma, where William Oudeis lived. And William worked there, had for the past 30 years. He was a forklift operator. Out of a hopeless sense of irony, his co-workers called him 'Billy the Kid.'"

You are a huge fan of author Lawrence Block and you would do anything to meet him and get his autograph. Would you die for it? That's probably carrying things a bit too far, but hey, this is fiction. Let's see what happens at one of Lawrence Block's book signings...

This is a collection of original, short horror stories for children (ages 8+ is recommended). In this haunted audio, you'll listen to terrifying tales of creatures, folklore, ghosts, mystical crimes & more spine-chilling spooks!

Ghosts of the Wild West tells the tale of Billy the Kid as you’ve never seen him: no longer a mere gunslinger or cunning outlaw, but a man haunted by every victim he ever claimed. Each new killing spawns another restless ghost, trailing him through desert wastes and half-collapsed frontier towns. As his fame (or infamy) grows during the Lincoln County War, so do the whispering apparitions: some pleading for peace, others demanding vengeance, all of them fueling Billy’s slow spiral from cocky renegade to trembling soul.

Ellie “Scaredy Bat” Spark is a tween vampire that loves solving mysteries, but is afraid of...everything. She's afraid of spiders, clowns, and deep water, to name a few.

Come join Holmes and Watson as they solve the mystery of the blue carbuncle in a child-friendly, 21st century English and with the seamier side of Victorian life left out.
