BadAsstronauts [Dramatized Adaptation] Audiobook

"From New York Times bestselling author of My Best Friend's Exorcism, The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires, and The Final Girl Support Group, Grady Hendrix takes a break from horror and goes all-in on sci-fi in this novella about backyard rocket jockeys trying to get into low earth orbit. Melville, South Carolina was out of money, it was out of jobs, it was out of hope, and today it was out of astronauts. There were only two to begin with, and now one is stuck on the abandoned International Space Station after his mission went south. With NASA’s budget cut to the bone, there’s no one to bring him back home, so everyone is only too happy to ignore this embarrassing sign of American Failure and just let him die. But his cousin, Walter Reddie, isn’t going to let that happen. Tanked on vodka, living on a “farm” whose only crop is cars on cinderblocks, Walter's a wash-out from the Shuttle Program and he’ll be damned if he’s going to let his cousin die in the sky like a dog. And so he begins to build a rocket. If America won’t rescue its astronauts, he’ll do it himself. Violating numerous laws, good taste, common sense, logic, and reason, Walter becomes a lightning rod for people who aren’t ready to give up. His farm is transformed into the promised land for misfits, drifters, rocket junkies, pyromaniacs, dreamers, science nerds, and astro-hippies who believe that space shouldn’t just be for billionaires. But it won’t be easy. Chances are good they’ll blow themselves up, get arrested, or kill each other before they ever get into orbit. Adapted from the novella and produced with a full cast of actors, immersive sound effects and cinematic music! Narrated by Rick Rohan. Featuring Terence Aselford as Walter, Ozzie Jacobs as Tiara, Dylan Lynch as Gaudy, Wyn Delano as Huggins, Jonathan Lee Taylor as Paul, Matthew Pauli as Richter, Megan Dominy as Lynn, Chris Davenport as Jimmy Royal, Matthew Bassett as Bobby, Laura C.

The Final Girl Support Group [Dramatized Adaptation] 'International Edition'

"In horror movies, the final girls are the ones left standing when the credits roll. They made it through the worst night of their lives…but what happens after? Like his bestselling novel The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires, Grady Hendrix’s latest is a fast-paced, frightening, and wickedly humorous thriller. From chain saws to summer camp slayers, The Final Girl Support Group pays tribute to and slyly subverts our most popular horror films—movies like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, A Nightmare on Elm Street, and Scream. Lynnette Tarkington is a real-life final girl who survived a massacre. For more than a decade, she’s been meeting with five other final girls and their therapist in a support group for those who survived the unthinkable, working to put their lives back together. Then one woman misses a meeting, and their worst fears are realized—someone knows about the group and is determined to rip their lives apart again, piece by piece. But the thing about final girls is that no matter how bad the odds, how dark the night, how sharp the knife, they will never, ever give up. Adapted from the novel and produced with a full cast of actors, immersive sound effects and cinematic music! Narrated by Jessica Schly as Lynnette.

The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires [Dramatized Adaptation]

"Fried Green Tomatoes and Steel Magnolias meet Dracula in this New York Times best-selling horror novel about a women's book club that must do battle with a mysterious newcomer to their small Southern town. Patricia Campbell’s life has never felt smaller. Her husband is a workaholic, her teenage kids have their own lives, her senile mother-in-law needs constant care, and she’s always a step behind on her endless to-do list. The only thing keeping her sane is her book club, a close-knit group of Charleston women united by their love of true crime. At these meetings they’re as likely to talk about the Manson family as they are about their own families. One evening after book club, Patricia is viciously attacked by an elderly neighbor, bringing the neighbor's handsome nephew, James Harris, into her life. James is well traveled and well read, and he makes Patricia feel things she hasn’t felt in years. But when children on the other side of town go missing, their deaths written off by local police, Patricia has reason to believe James Harris is more of a Bundy than a Brad Pitt. The real problem? James is a monster of a different kind—and Patricia has already invited him in. Little by little, James will insinuate himself into Patricia’s life and try to take everything she took for granted—including the book club—but she won’t surrender without a fight in this blood-soaked tale of neighborly kindness gone wrong.

[Italian] - Vendesi casa infestata

"Quando Louise viene a sapere della morte improvvisa dei suoi genitori, l'ultima cosa che vorrebbe fare è tornare nella loro casa di famiglia. I motivi sono molteplici: prima di tutto, non vuole lasciare la figlia piccola con il suo ex compagno e volare a Charleston. In secondo luogo, non vuole affrontare quella casa, piena zeppa dei ricordi della carriera accademica del padre, e di burattini e bambole da cui sua madre era ossessionata. Inoltre, non vuole rassegnarsi a vivere senza le due persone che meglio di chiunque altro al mondo l'hanno conosciuta e amata. Soprattutto, però, non vuole avere a che fare con suo fratello Mark, che non ha mai lasciato la loro città natale, che ha collezionato un licenziamento dopo l'altro e che non sopporta il successo della sorella. Sfortunatamente, ben presto, Louise capisce di aver bisogno dell'aiuto di Mark per preparare la casa alla vendita, poiché non basteranno una riverniciatura alle pareti e uno sgombero radicale di una vita di ricordi per poter mettere l'immobile sul mercato. Ma alcune case proprio non vogliono essere vendute... In queste pagine un Grande Maestro dell'horror come Grady Hendrix affronta il tema della casa infestata in una chiave originalissima e sorprendente, esplorando il modo in cui il passato familiare possa rivelarsi capace di perseguitarti come niente altro. Intrecciando violenza, traumi familiari e umorismo, Hendrix dà vita a un'esplorazione avvincente, terrificante e selvaggiamente divertente degli orrori infantili e dei segreti che si nascondono dentro a ogni famiglia. contributori LE Giulia Amato"

How To Sell A Haunted House

"Your past and your family can haunt you like nothing else… A hilarious and terrifying new novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Final Girl Support Group.

When their parents die at the tail end of the coronavirus pandemic, Louise and Mark Joyner are devastated but nothing can prepare them for how bad things are about to get. The two siblings are almost totally estranged, and couldn’t be more different. Now, however, they don’t have a choice but to get along. The virus has passed, and both of them are facing bank accounts ravaged by the economic meltdown. Their one asset? Their childhood home. They need to get it on the market as soon as possible because they need the money. Yet before her parents died they taped newspaper over the mirrors and nailed shut the attic door. Sometimes we feel like puppets, controlled by our upbringing and our genes. Sometimes we feel like our parents treat us like toys, or playthings, or even dolls. The past can ground us, teach us, and keep us safe. It can also trap us, and bind us, and suffocate the life out of us. As disturbing events stack up in the house, Louise and Mark have to learn that sometimes the only way to break away from the past, sometimes the only way to sell a haunted house, is to burn it all down."

[Italian] - My Best Friend's Exorcism

"È il 1988: Abby e Gretchen, studentesse al secondo anno di liceo, sono migliori amiche fin dai tempi della quarta elementare. Insieme sognano, parlano, respingono i ragazzi troppo disinvolti, ascoltano musica, stringono e sciolgono alleanze all'interno del microcosmo scolastico, eccetera. Tutto più o meno nella norma, insomma. Ma, dopo una serata di esperimenti lisergici, chiacchiere e bagni nel fiume con altre compagne di scuola finita in modo abbastanza disastroso, Gretchen comincia a comportarsi in modo, come dire?... diverso. È diventata lunatica. Irritabile. E ogni volta che c'è lei nelle vicinanze si verificano incidenti ora bizzarri, ora spiacevoli, in alcuni casi francamente terribili. Le indagini di Abby la conducono a scoperte sorprendenti e, quando la loro storia giungerà alla sua sconvolgente conclusione, il destino di Abby e Gretchen resterà appeso a un'unica domanda: la loro amicizia è abbastanza potente da sconfiggere il diavolo? Ambientato durante quell'ondata di Panico Satanico che spinse gli americani a cercare messaggi satanisti sotto o dietro ogni album heavy metal, questo romanzo è una storia toccante di amicizia liceale e possessione demoniaca, un thriller ibrido e soprannaturale al cardiopalma, capace di miscelare sapientemente angosce e drammi adolescenziali, orrori indicibili e un mix - pericolosamente nostalgico - di canzoni pop degli anni Ottanta. contributori LE Giulia Amato"
