Justice League: Wild at Heart – Louise Simonson


Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Hawkgirl, The Flash, Martian Manhunter… They are the Justice League — seven super heroes working together to save the world. The only way Mongul can regain the crown of War World is to fight Superman again – and win. So he dispatches the bounty hunter Lobo to Earth to bring the Man of Steel back. Lobo finds Superman, and after they’ve fought to a stand-off, he holds up a remote control and tells Superman that he’s hidden a thermonuclear device somewhere on Earth. Unless Superman goes with him, the planet will be dust. Superman surrenders and accompanies Lobo on an interstellar law-breaking spree, to the confusion of the rest of the Justice League. But Superman has a plan.
Superman always has a plan….
Abridged.

The Hellbound Heart – Clive Barker


The Hellbound Heart is one of his best, a nerve-shattering novella about the human heart and all the great terrors and ecstasies within its endless domain. It is about greed and love, lovelessness and despair, desire and death, life and captivity, bells and blood. It is one of the most dead-frightening stories you are likely to ever read.
Unabridged.
Read by Clive Barker.

Bradford, Barbara Taylor - A Sudden Change of Heart


A Sudden Change of Heart (1998)
A novel by Barbara Taylor Bradford

At thirty-one, Laura Valiant is an art historian. She and her husband Douglas, a Wall Street lawyer, have a happy though childless marriage. But Laura discovers he has a secret life apart from her. Claire, her best friend, asks Laura to become guardian to her teenage daughter. It is then that Laura's troubles really begin.

Product Description

Laura Valiant and Claire Benson are best friends from childhood and have remained exceptionally close through the turmoil of adult life. They have much to celebrate: Laura is a partner in a challenging and successful art dealership in New York, and her marriage to the handsome and always amiable Doug seems to come right from a storybook. Though divorced from her French husband, Philippe Lavillard, Claire delights in her precocious daughter, Natasha. But the two friends' lives do not follow the paths we imagine they will, and when Claire is confronted with sudden tragedy, she naturally turns to Laura for help. When the long-hidden history of the Lavillard family intersects with Laura's investigation into artwork stolen by the Nazis during the war, Barbara Taylor Bradford's gripping tale reaches a dramatic and unexpected crescendo.
