Es war nie einfach, die unermessliche Wirkung und die bahnbrechende Bedeutung des meistverkauften Albums aller Zeiten - Michael Jacksons Thriller - in Perspektive zu setzen. Obwohl Thriller erstaunliche Statistiken vorweisen kann, die daran erinnern, wie weit verbreitet und unverzichtbar es sowohl für Musikliebhaber als auch für Gelegenheitshörer ist, geht es in seiner Essenz immer um seine Grösse, Kraft und Reichweite. Nun, anlässlich seines 40. Jubiläums, klingt die Platte, die den Pop neu erfunden, das Publikum vereint, die Rassengleichheit vorangetrieben, das Video als künstlerisches und kommerzielles Format etabliert und der Welt das Tanzen beigebracht hat, noch belebender als zur Zeit der Einführung des Walkman. Mastered von den originalen analogen Masterbändern, gepresst bei RTI, in einer Slipcase untergebracht und streng limitiert auf 40.000 nummerierte Exemplare, bietet Mobile Fidelitys UltraDisc One-Step 180g 33RPM LP-Set für Thriller das, was Jacksons unvergesslicher Auftritt in der Fernsehspecial "Motown 25" von 1983 für seine Karriere tat: Es macht Musik persönlich, menschlich, begehrenswert, nachvollziehbar und einfallsreich - die Definition von Coolness. Diese aussergewöhnliche Neuauflage präsentiert die Songs lebensecht, fokussiert sich laserhaft auf das Wesentliche und hebt die Brillanz der Produktion, Arrangements und Gesang auf eine Weise hervor, die es jedem ermöglicht, Thriller so zu erleben, als würde er das Album zum ersten Mal hören.

'An irresistible page-turner that reads like the most compelling, sleep defying fiction' TIME OUT One was an architect. The other a serial killer. This is the incredible story of these two men and their realization of the Chicago World's Fair of 1893, and its amazing 'White City'; one of the wonders of the world. The architect was Daniel H. Burnham, the driving force behind the White City, the massive, visionary landscape of white buildings set in a wonderland of canals and gardens. The killer was H. H. Holmes, a handsome doctor with striking blue eyes. He used the attraction of the great fair - and his own devilish charms - to lure scores of young women to their deaths. While Burnham overcame politics, infighting, personality clashes and Chicago's infamous weather to transform the swamps of Jackson Park into the greatest show on Earth, Holmes built his own edifice just west of the fairground. He called it the World's Fair Hotel. In reality it was a torture palace, a gas chamber, a crematorium. These two disparate but driven men are brought to life in this mesmerizing, murderous tale of the legendary Fair that transformed America and set it on course for the twentieth century . . .

What happens inside changes everything; not only for Jackson, but for every member of his family. Julia faces the fight of her life to save her unusual boy from a world set up for 'normal'.

Bestselling novelist Fiona Higgins returns with a heart-stopping, devastating, but ultimately uplifting story about loyalty, love and forgiveness. Praise for Fiona Higgins: 'An Unusual Boy is the gripping tale of an exceptional, misunderstood child. I found myself glued to this book from start to finish.

Sally Hepworth bestselling author of The Mother-in-Law and The Family Next Door 'An Unusual Boy is a beautifully-written book and a page-turner, but it's the powerful descriptions of family relationships and friendship, both toxic and supportive, that will stay with me.

Determined to do more than hide out in Arrowtown, Lion shifter Hal Lamont decides to head out on a road trip. Armed with his speech app, enough pens and papers to sink a battleship, and a deep desire to find his long lost confidence, he sets out, planning a short stay in Jackson before seeing where the open road will take him. But a random night out in the mainly human town changes his world in a way he doesn't imagine - and not necessarily for the better. Blade Morgan was a shark shifter, but he doesn't see why that should stop him making a success of the casino he had been operating in Jackson. Unfortunately, the local council see things differently. One night, while doing his best to keep patrons happy, he sees the haunted yet amused eyes of a shifter as the man was heading out the door. Blade was compelled to give chase - and got more than he bargained for. Communication was one of the easiest hurdles in Hal's and Blade's new mating. But between the local council, a woman hellbent on revenge, and a shooter who missed his target, the start to their new life together wasn't easy. Keep an eye out for a Jaws-fixated waiter, a Fae who finds Hal's phone at just the right time, and some grumpiness from Doc among others. Hal's Silence is an MM Paranormal Romance story featuring Fated Mates. It was written for mature audiences. This book can be read as a standalone, but you will get more understanding of the secondary characters and more details on how Hal lost his tongue, if you read Liam's Lament (Book 3) first.

Enrique "Quique" Luna has one goal this summer—get over his crush on Saleem Kanazi by pursuing his other romantic prospects. Never mind that he's only out to his best friend, Fabiola. Never mind that he has absolutely zero game. And definitely forget the fact that good and kind and, not to mention, beautiful Saleem is leaving LA for the summer to reunite with a girl his parents are trying to set him up with. Luckily, Quique's prospects are each intriguing in their own ways. There's stoner-jock Tyler Montana, who might be just as interested in Fabiola as he is in Quique; straitlaced senior class president, Ziggy Jackson; and Manny Zuniga, who keeps looking at Quique like he's carne asada fresh off the grill. With all these choices, Quique is sure to forget about Saleem in no time. But as the summer heats up and his deep-seated fears and anxieties boil over, Quique soon realizes that getting over one guy by getting under a bunch of others may not have been the best laid plan and living his truth can come at a high cost.

He has spent eighty years believing she died—but when a letter arrives telling him the opposite, he’s on the first flight to France. Can he break through the haze of her dementia, using the songs he’s written all these years, to remind her of who they once were to each other—and to tell her he came back for her? Henry’s granddaughter, Melody, has just discovered that her husband of twenty years, Gilles, a French cosmetics executive, is having an affair. When she confronts him, he tearfully apologizes and begs her to forgive him. But can she? And, perhaps even more importantly, does she want to? Or is there a different kind of life out there for her if she chooses to be alone? These intertwining stories—plus several others—unfold over a few breathtaking spring days, as an unforgettable group of Americans in Paris must find their way to their own versions of happily ever after in the City of Light.
