In the house of Helios, god of the sun and mightiest of the Titans, a daughter is born. But Circe is a strange child—not powerful, like her father, nor viciously alluring like her mother. Turning to the world of mortals for companionship, she discovers that she does possess power—the power of witchcraft, which can transform rivals into monsters and menace the gods themselves.

A must listen

I’ve listened to this book four times and I still feel compelled to listen again. Both narration and story are amazing!

Shakespeare's Othello is one of his finest and most famous tragedies. This highly acclaimed performance, which ran between November 2007 and February 2008 at the Donmar Warehouse in London, features Chiwetel Ejiofor as the Moor Othello, Ewan McGregor as the scheming Iago, and Kelly Reilly as the gentle Desdemona. This recording features music written specifically for the stage production which enjoyed huge success - each performance was a sell-out.

Things to Consider (also some spoilers)
Revisado: 08-28-19
I knew the main plot points of Othello, but had neither seen nor read it. This performance was so compelling, I couldn’t stop listening despite the fact that Iago is a vicious character. I recommend that you give this performance a listen and think about some things:
1. Why does Iago hate Othello so much? It is just because Othello is black?
2. There are three main women characters and they are all called “whore” throughout the performance. Is Shakespeare sexist or making a commentary?
3. Why is Othello so quick to believe that Desdamona had sex with Cassio? Is it connected to his internalized racism?
4. Why does everyone implicitly trust Iago? Sure, he keeps telling everyone that he is trustworthy, but other than that, he seems to be full of bologna.

Heads Will Roll is an Audible Original from Saturday Night Live star Kate McKinnon and her cocreator/costar (and real-life sister) Emily Lynne. Produced by Broadway Video, this is not an audiobook - it’s a 10-episode, star-studded audio comedy that features performances from Meryl Streep, Tim Gunn, Peter Dinklage, Queer Eye’s Fab Five, and so many more. Please note: This content is not for kids.

Heads Will Roll is terrifically funny! The casting is spot on and the storytelling is compelling. I hope that Audible seeks out more stories such as this.

Make sure the kids aren’t around! Just because you’re a grown-up doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the art of the children’s bedtime story. Nick Offerman presents this collection of 12 short stories written in the style of a classic kids' tale, but with a decidedly dark and adult approach. What really happened after Snow White died, from the perspective of the one medically trained dwarf? A naive wizard professor reports back from the trenches of an underprivileged school of magic. And much more!

Hilarious!

Both the stories themselves and the narrators were fabulous! Some stories were a bit gruesome, but that only added to the cynical, dark humor. Enjoy!

Wowza!

Kate Winslet does an absolutely fantastic job of performing Dahl’s classic book, Matilda. Her voice work for each character is distinct and consistent. I have read this book countless times since I was a child, but I never laughed as much as I have with Winslet’s narration. This is simply lovely storytelling.

Frustrated by the limitations of cross-race communication in her predominantly white town, a young African American girl teaches herself to sign. Years later, Laurel uproots her husband and daughters from their downwardly mobile, overeducated, and underpaid life in the South End of Boston for Cortland County, Massachusetts. The Freemans are to take part in an experiment: They've been hired by a private research institute to teach sign language to a chimpanzee.

Amazing
Revisado: 04-12-16
I heard about this book listening to Heidi Durrow's podcast, The Mixed Experience. Ms. Durrow interviewed the author and I was intrigued. The idea of an African-American family raising a chimpanzee as a member of their family seemed unreal. This story is one of humor and sorrow. And, it is one that I wholeheartedly recommend.
