When not keeping his Scottish terrier groomed, Edwin is a pop-culture junkie who is either playing JRPGs (Final Fantasy forever!) or listening to music bios, horror, or true crime on Audible. Because his commute to the office is about an hour door-to-door, the train is his favorite spot to listen.

When there’s magic all around you, the possibilities are endless… When Harlow Estrada is abruptly fired from her dream job and her boyfriend proves to be a jerk, her world turns upside down. She flees New York City to the one place she can always call home—the enchanted Hacienda Estrada. The Estrada family farm in Mexico houses an abundance of charmed flowers cultivated by Harlow’s mother, sisters, aunt, and cousins. By harnessing the magic in these flowers, they can heal hearts, erase memories, interpret dreams—but not Harlow. So when her mother and aunt give her a special task involving the family’s magic, she panics. How can she rise to the occasion when she is magicless? But maybe it’s not magic she’s missing, but belief in herself. When she finally embraces her unique gifts and opens her heart to a handsome stranger, she discovers she’s far more powerful than she imagined. With unforeseen twists, romance, and a heavy sprinkle of magic, The Enchanted Hacienda is a captivating coming-of-age debut exploring identity, unconditional family love, and uncovering the magic within us all.

The Enchanted Hacienda

From *Halloween* to *The Fog* to *They Live*, John Carpenter is a true legend in horror filmmaking. His 1982 sci-fi cult classic *The Thing* is no exception; starring Kurt Russell, the film follows a team of researchers in Antarctica who are infiltrated by a parasitic alien lifeform. The story has its roots in John W. Campbell’s novella *Who Goes There?*, which captures the same sense of paranoia, doubt, and delusions that plague the crew in Carpenter’s adaptation. And with a being that can imitate any organism and blend in seamlessly on the loose, it’s only a matter of time before tensions mount and consequences abound. Along with Steve Cooper’s gripping narration, this audio edition features an introduction by author William F. Nolan, delving into the story’s background as well as the process of adapting it on film for both Carpenter’s version and 1951’s *The Thing from Another World*.

The Stand

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Killers of the Flower Moon, a thrilling story of shipwreck, survival, and savagery, culminating in a court martial that reveals a shocking truth. The powerful narrative reveals the deeper meaning of the events on The Wager, showing that it was not only the captain and crew who ended up on trial, but the very idea of empire. On January 28, 1742, a ramshackle vessel of patched-together wood and cloth washed up on the coast of Brazil. Inside were thirty emaciated men, barely alive, and they had an extraordinary tale to tell. They were survivors of His Majesty’s Ship the Wager, a British vessel that had left England in 1740 on a secret mission during an imperial war with Spain. While the Wager had been chasing a Spanish treasure-filled galleon known as “the prize of all the oceans,” it had wrecked on a desolate island off the coast of Patagonia. The men, after being marooned for months and facing starvation, built the flimsy craft and sailed for more than a hundred days, traversing nearly 3,000 miles of storm-wracked seas. They were greeted as heroes. But then ... six months later, another, even more decrepit craft landed on the coast of Chile. This boat contained just three castaways, and they told a very different story. The thirty sailors who landed in Brazil were not heroes–they were mutineers. The first group responded with countercharges of their own, of a tyrannical and murderous senior officer and his henchmen. It became clear that while stranded on the island the crew had fallen into anarchy, with warring factions fighting for dominion over the barren wilderness. As accusations of treachery and murder flew, the Admiralty convened a court martial to determine who was telling the truth. The stakes were life-and-death—for whomever the court found guilty could hang. The Wager is a grand tale of human behavior at the extremes told by one of our greatest nonfiction writers. Grann’s recreation of the hidden world on a British warship rivals the work of Patrick O’Brian, his portrayal of the castaways’ desperate straits stands up to the classics of survival writing such as The Endurance, and his account of the court martial has the savvy of a Scott Turow thriller. As always with Grann’s work, the incredible twists of the narrative hold the listener spellbound.
