Heaven Is for Real
Summary
"Do you remember the hospital, Colton?" Sonja said. "Yes, mommy, I remember," he said. "That's where the angels sang to me." When Colton Burpo made it through an emergency appendectomy, his family was overjoyed at his miraculous survival. What they weren't expecting, though, was the story that emerged in the months that followed - a story as beautiful as it was extraordinary, detailing their little boy's trip to heaven and back. Colton, not yet four years old, told his parents he left his body during the surgery - and authenticated that claim by describing exactly what his parents were doing in another part of the hospital while he was being operated on. He talked of visiting heaven and relayed stories told to him by people he met there whom he had never met in life, sharing events that happened even before he was born. He also astonished his parents with descriptions and obscure details about heaven that matched the Bible exactly, though he had not yet learned to read. With disarming innocence and the plainspoken boldness of a child, Colton tells of meeting long-departed family members. He describes Jesus, the angels, how "really, really big" God is, and how much God loves us. Retold by his father, but using Colton's uniquely simple words, Heaven Is for Real offers a glimpse of the world that awaits us, where, as Colton says, "nobody is old and nobody wears glasses". Heaven Is for Real will forever change the way you think of eternity, offering the chance to see and believe like a child. This audiobook recording of Heaven Is For Real includes additional bonus content including updates from father Todd and son Colton on recent events including the making-of-the-movie experience and "from the set" Q&A's with the movie's filmmakers and actors.

The Pickwick Papers
Summary
This edition of The Pickwick Papers features an exclusive introduction, written and narrated by Neil Gaiman. This Audible Exclusive retelling of Charles Dickens’ first novel, The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club, or as we now know it, The Pickwick Papers, is brought expertly to life by multi-award-winning actor Rory Kinnear. A huge success, The Pickwick Papers catapulted young Dickens to fame and sold over 40,000 copies by the release of the last instalment. Stage adaptations were soon performed and merchandise quickly sold out to a public who dreamed of owning their own Pickwick cigars, song books and china figurines. About the book When Samuel Pickwick decides to establish and preside over a travelling society, he unknowingly brings together three of the oddest men in all of London: Tracy Tupman, the loveless self-professed ladies’ man, Augustus Snodgrass, the poet who’s never put pen to paper, and Nathaniel Winkle, the endlessly clumsy sportsman. Introductions made and plans established, the ‘Pickwickians’ set off in search of new adventures outside of the confines of the city. Along with a host of other colourful Dickensian characters such as Mr Pickwick’s love-struck landlady, Mrs Bardell, and his trusty sidekick, Sam Weller. The Pickwick Papers manages to both move and amuse the listener as the protagonists find themselves in a whole host of bizarre situations they had not bargained for. About the author With his father incarcerated, Charles Dickens had to abandon his studies at a young age and worked in a factory to support himself. Despite his short-lived education, Dickens went on to write 15 novels, various articles, novellas and short stories. He lectured and led campaigns for children's rights and education and arguably became the ultimate self-made man. Dickens had strong values, and they pervade The Pickwick Papers, which is not only one of his most comical texts but one in which he lays the groundwork for future satires expressing his deep-felt discontent with Victorian values. About the narrator Rory Kinnear is an award-winning actor for his work both on stage and on screen. He is known for his portrayal of Bill Tanner in the James Bond films and is also recognisable for his television work including Black Mirror and Count Arthur Strong. His audiobook credits include Anthony Horowitz’s The Word Is Murder, Nutshell by Ian McEwan, and now this fantastic version of The Pickwick Papers.

Art Matters
Summary
A stunning and timely creative call-to-arms combining four extraordinary written pieces by Neil Gaiman. “The world always seems brighter when you’ve just made something that wasn’t there before.” (Neil Gaiman) Drawn from Gaiman’s trove of published speeches, poems, and creative manifestos, Art Matters is an embodiment of this remarkable multimedia artist’s vision - an exploration of how reading, imagining, and creating can transform the world and our lives. Art Matters bring together four of Gaiman’s most beloved writings on creativity and artistry: “Credo”, his remarkably concise and relevant manifesto on free expression, first delivered in the wake of the Charlie Hebdo shootings “Make Good Art”, his famous 2012 commencement address delivered at the Philadelphia University of the Arts “Making a Chair”, a poem about the joys of creating something, even when words won’t come “On Libraries”, an impassioned argument for libraries that illuminates their importance to our future and celebrates how they foster readers and daydreamers. Art Matters is a stirring testament to the freedom of ideas that inspires us to make art in the face of adversity and dares us to choose to be bold.

The Sandman
Summary
Avertissement : le contenu de cette œuvre n'est pas destiné aux enfants et est uniquement réservé à un public adulte averti. Comme le roman graphique dont il est issu, cette adaptation contient un langage explicite, des violences graphiques, ainsi que des scènes à fort caractère sexuel. Considéré par le Los Angeles Times Magazine comme "la plus grande épopée de l'histoire des comics", The Sandman a révolutionné l'univers des comics et a amorcé un phénomène culturel mondial avec son univers sombre et littéraire, rempli d'horreur et de fantasy. Audible et DC sont heureux de présenter la toute première production audio des romans graphiques de DC acclamé par le New York Times écrit par le célèbre auteur Neil Gaiman. Dirigée et adaptée par Dirk Maggs, producteur multi-récompensé et fréquent collaborateur de Gaiman, la première partie de cette série audio originale vous transportera dans un monde qui redéfinit les règles des séries audio, tout comme The Sandman avait bouleversé celles du roman graphique. Meilleure fiction audio US du New York Times, la version anglophone de The Sandman s'est également positionnée numéro 1 des ventes, tous genres confondus, au Royaume-Uni dès sa publication. L'histoire commence quand Sandman, aussi appelé Morphée, roi des songes, des histoires et de l'imagination, est capturé dans son royaume des rêves. Emprisonné sur Terre par une secte, il croupit pendant plusieurs décennies avant de parvenir à s'enfuir. Une fois libéré, il se met en quête de ses trois "outils" qui lui permettront de retrouver ses pouvoirs et de rebâtir son royaume, qui s'est effondré en son absence. Au cours de ses multiples aventures, il devra descendre en Enfer pour affronter Lucifer, traquer des cauchemars échappés de son royaume, et il rencontrera des personnages issus de l'univers de DC, ainsi que des mythes antiques et de l'histoire anglaise, comme des patients de l'asile d'Arkham, Docteur Destinée, la muse Calliope, les Parques, William Shakespeare, et bien d'autres. Ce premier acte est l'adaptation en audio des trois premiers romans graphiques de la série : Préludes et Nocturnes, La Maison de poupée et Domaine du rêve. Please note: This audiobook is in French.

Zombies
Summary
You can't kill the dead! Like any good monster, the zombie has proven to be ever-evolving, monumentally mutable, and open to seemingly endless imaginative interpretations: the thralls of voodoo sorcerers, George Romero's living dead, societal symbols, dancing thrillers, viral victims, reanimated ramblers, video-gaming targets, post-apocalyptic permutations, shuffling sidekicks, literary mash-ups, the comedic, and, yes, even the romantic. Evidently, we have an enduring hunger for this infinite onslaught of the ever-hungry dead. Hoards of readers and listeners are now devouring zombie fiction faster than armies of the undead could chow down their brains. It's a sick job, but somebody had to do it: explore the innumerable necrotic nightmares of the latest, greatest, most fervent devotion in the history of humankind and ferret out the best of new millenial zombie stories: Zombies: The Recent Dead. Full author list: Kevin Veale, Michael Marshall Smith, Tim Lebbon, David Prill, Steve Duffy, Max Brooks, Nik Houser, Andy Duncan, David J. Schow, Joe R. Lansdale, Neil Gaiman, Alice Sola Kim, Gary A.
