Title: O tempo das cerejas
Categories: Fiction, Politics
Author: Montserrat Roig
Narrator: Mayara Constantino
Publisher: Companhia das Letras
Release date: 03-04-2026
Language: Portuguese

Summary:
Neste clássico moderno traduzido pela primeira vez para o português, Montserrat Roig examina como os acontecimentos políticos são capazes de moldar toda uma geração. É primavera de 1974, e Natàlia Miralpeix acaba de voltar a Barcelona depois de mais de uma década vivendo entre a França e a Inglaterra. O regime franquista está próximo do fim, e uma atmosfera de mudança cultural e política impregna a cidade. Os mais novos já vislumbram o despertar de um novo tempo, enquanto a geração mais velha ainda lida com as marcas da Guerra Civil. Todos na família de Natàlia — o pai, a tia, o irmão, a cunhada e o sobrinho — estão buscando dar sentido à vida, num momento em que passado e presente parecem irreconciliáveis. Em meio a esse turbilhão, a protagonista também precisa lidar com lembranças da juventude, quando viveu uma paixão que a transformaria para sempre.Publicado pela primeira vez em 1976, O tempo das cerejas conquistou o sucesso do público e da crítica e se tornou um livro incontornável da literatura de língua catalã, traduzido internacionalmente e que vem sendo redescoberto por uma nova geração de leitores.

Title: Souvenirs from Another Life
Subtitle: Stories
Categories: Collection, Fiction, Short Story
Author: Leah Browning
Narrator: Mallory Fuccella
Publisher: Quiet Ocean Studio & Press
Release date: 02-28-2026
Language: English

Summary:
Souvenirs from Another Life, the first full-length collection of short fiction by Leah Browning, features an abundant selection of stories. Relationships are at the forefront: those between friends, siblings, partners, or parents and children, as well as the more tangential relationships between neighbors or coworkers. By turns sharp and tender, the stories delve into the reality and surreality of love, companionship, and family. In “Caught,” a man finds his Tinder date surrounded by vaguely threatening birds. Toward the beginning of “The Surrogate Wife,” a woman returns after a long journey to discover that her husband’s new housekeeper has taken over her home. And in “The Costume Wedding,” a doctor and her boyfriend travel to Albuquerque to attend a front yard ceremony where they’ve been instructed to dress up. Slippery and hypnotic, these short stories illuminate hidden corners of courtship, marriage, divorce, friendship, and familial devotion. Souvenirs from Another Life includes full-length literary fiction, flash, microfiction, and linked stories about the pleasures and absurdities of everyday life.

Title: The Caretaker
Subtitle: Felric Stories
Series: #3 in Felric Stories
Categories: Collection, Fiction, Short Story
Author: Arsenio Di Donato
Narrator: Li Webster
Publisher: Andy Karsai & Sandor Paal
Release date: 02-16-2026
Language: English

Summary:
When seven-year-old Liam draws a picture of “someone who makes him feel safe,” his teacher, Kate Avery, assumes it’s an imaginary friend. But Liam insists otherwise: his caretaker visits at night, makes cocoa, and plays chess. The only problem? Liam’s “Grandad” died before he was born. What begins as a child’s harmless fantasy soon unsettles Kate, then his mother, and finally the quiet flat itself. Chess pieces move when no one touches them, the kettle clicks off by unseen hands, and familiar scents drift through the air like memory returned. The caretaker is there—comforting, watchful, impossible to explain. Caught between safeguarding duty and an intuition she cannot dismiss, Kate must decide whether to raise the alarm—or trust in a presence whose only wish seems to be to protect. Blending the ordinary warmth of family life with the uncanny edges of the unseen, The Caretaker is a haunting, tender tale of love, memory, and the quiet guardians who refuse to let go.

Categories: Personal Development, Personal Success
Author: Joshua Fields Millburn
Narrator: Joshua Fields Millburn, T.K. Coleman
Publisher: Minus One
Release date: 02-11-2026
Language: English

Summary:
Very, Very Simple is a clear, compassionate guide to living with less—and finally feeling better about the stuff you own. Inside, you’ll discover 12 practical tools (flexible rules, not rigid dogma) to help you define what’s no longer acceptable in your life and let it go. This isn’t about owning fewer things for the sake of minimalism. It’s about removing the excess—physical, mental, and emotional—that’s keeping you overwhelmed, distracted, and dissatisfied. Short, thoughtful, and immediately actionable, Very, Very Simple helps you create space for what actually matters. Less clutter. Fewer distractions. More life. In this expanded audio edition, Joshua Fields Millburn and T.K. Coleman pause throughout to discuss the philosophical implications of these tools—like a mini-podcast appended to each short chapter.

Title: Beyond Repair
Categories: Collection, Fiction, Short Story
Author: Matthew Salinas
Narrator: Joe Hempel
Publisher: Sabala and Salinas,LLC
Release date: 02-09-2026
Language: English

Summary:
Bill works full-time, plays by the rules, and still drowns in debt. When the final notice comes, it’s not a court summons—it’s a knock at the door after dinner. The collection agency doesn’t want money. They want blood. Flesh. Pain. And they want it now. Lucas, the man sent to collect, never wanted this job. But in a world where the cost of living is your soul, he’ll do anything to keep his wife and daughters fed—and safe from the same fate. As Bill is dragged into a nightmarish system where debt is paid in gore and suffering, Lucas must confront the horrors he's become complicit in. Beyond Repair is a razor-edged splatterpunk novelette drenched in violence and dread, but pulsing with heart. Beneath its crimson-soaked surface lies a chilling reflection of real-world despair: wage slavery, predatory debt, and the human cost of survival. For fans of visceral horror with a conscience—this is capitalism with the mask torn off.

Title: Lessons & Libations
Categories: Collection, Fiction, Short Story
Author: Clarence Barbee
Narrator: Clarence Barbee
Publisher: Clarence Barbee
Release date: 02-05-2026
Language: English

Summary:
Lessons & Libations is a sharp, soulful collection of short stories and poems by Clarence Barbee, steeped in honesty, humor, and heartache. From the classroom to the corner bar, these seven pieces explore the moments where people show up raw—learning, healing, grieving, laughing, and sipping through it all. Meet Nia, a recent college graduate finding her voice after commencement. Walk the halls with a weary teacher carrying quiet battles no one sees. Sit in on office banter between two friends just trying to stay human under fluorescent lights. Even the shoes speak—Stacy Adams and Nikes square off over identity, purpose, and the paths we choose to run. Written with language that lingers and characters that feel like someone you know (or someone you’ve been), Lessons & Libations is a toast to resilience—and a reminder that even in our toughest moments, there’s still beauty waiting at the end of the day. Maybe even a good pour.

Publisher: E.J. Gorman
Release date: 02-03-2026
Language: English

Summary:
Three Tales of Fate, Obsession, and the Extraordinary collects a trio of unsettling, genre-bending stories that twist the familiar into the unexpected. In Virtual Mate, Connor Foreman, a lonely retail worker, signs up as a beta tester for a new cutting-edge virtual companion - a holographic AI designed to meet every emotional need. At first, it feels like magic: someone who knows him, cares for him, and will never leave. But when the technology begins to blur the line between devotion and possession, Connor realizes he may have welcomed something into his life that he can't escape, and can't control. Echoes of Destiny revisits one of history's most sacred moments - the crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth - and peels back the veil on a hidden chapter erased from scripture. As the Son of Man hangs dying at Golgotha, a hooded stranger approaches the cross with a secret mission that sets off a covert chain of events. What follows is a mysterious tale of ancient prophecy, hidden allies, and a daring rescue attempt that threatens to unravel everything we believe about life, death, and destiny. In Life, ninety-six-year-old Adam Cabrera lies in a hospital surrounded by loved ones, preparing to say goodbye.

Titre: La Forme et la Couleur des sons (nouvelles)
Genres: Collection, Fiction, Short Story
Auteur: Ben Shattuck
Narrateur: Georgia Scalliet, Yoann Gasiorowski
Éditeur: Audiolib
Date de publication: 01-28-2026
Langue: Français

Résumé:
Été 1919. Deux jeunes hommes, liés par un amour placé sous le signe de la musique, partent recueillir des chansons traditionnelles dans les campagnes du Maine, avant que l'un d'eux ne disparaisse brusquement. Des années plus tard, dans la maison où elle vient d'emménager, une femme retrouve les cylindres de cire enregistrés lors de ce fameux été… La première nouvelle de Ben Shattuck donne le ton de ce magnifique recueil qui explore le lien entre l'amour et la perte, et la manière dont celui-ci se métamorphose au gré du temps. Empruntant la forme musicale et poétique du « hook-and-chain », popularisée au XVIIIe siècle en Nouvelle-Angleterre, l'auteur relie chacune des nouvelles, tramant un récit où la mémoire d'un chaînon du passé resurgit fortuitement. Du Nantucket de 1796 aux forêts contemporaines du New Hampshire, La Forme et la couleur des sons est une ode à la Nouvelle-Angleterre de David Henry Thoreau autant qu'une méditation sur la quête incessante d'un foyer. « Ben Shattuck est un enchanteur : ses nouvelles résonnent comme une somptueuse chambre d'échos où chacune répond mystérieusement à la précédente.

Summary:
Pulitzer Prize-winning author Philip Caputo returns to the heart of the human condition with Wandering Souls, a collection of powerful stories that explore war, love, nature, life, and death. In the gripping title story, a Vietnam vet revisits the war-torn landscape of his past, searching for the grave of a forgotten soldier—only to uncover far more than he bargained for. In another tale, a wildlife photographer in the African savanna risks everything for a chance at true love. A thief escaping Central America finds himself aboard a ship, only to be thrust into the peril of an approaching storm. These and other stories in Wandering Souls are told with the authenticity and keen insight that have made Caputo’s writing unforgettable, offering emotionally intense and richly atmospheric narratives. With his distinctive style, Caputo delves into the complex relationship between man and memory—sometimes haunting, sometimes redemptive—capturing moments of profound emotional reckoning that compel his characters to confront their pasts and the indelible marks left by the places that shaped them. In Wandering Souls, the past is never truly gone; it is a force that defines us, for better or worse.

Title: You Shouldn’t Have Looked: Volume II
Categories: Collection, Fiction, Short Story
Author: Max Nolten
Narrator: Virtual Voice
Publisher: Independently Published
Release date: 01-20-2026
Language: English

Summary:
You Shouldn’t Have Looked — Volume II An Anthology of Short Horror Stories The warnings were there. They were ignored—again. You Shouldn’t Have Looked: Volume II returns with a new collection of short horror stories that dig deeper into the dark places left unexplored in the first volume. These are stories of escalation—where legends become real, shadows move closer, and survival is never guaranteed. In these pages, ancient things awaken beneath towering trees, creatures stalk frozen wilderness and black water, and something waits patiently under the bed, watching. Men hunt in the woods for sport. A farmer’s land refuses to stay quiet. A presence slips through doorways unnoticed. Some monsters are born from curses and superstition—others from human cruelty and obsession. Each story stands alone, but they are bound by the same truth: looking closer never makes it safer. Bleak, atmospheric, and unapologetically cruel, Volume II pushes further into psychological terror and creature horror alike, offering vivid, unsettling tales that linger long after the final page. If you thought you were safe after the first book— you shouldn’t have looked again.

Title: You Shouldn’t Have Looked
Categories: Collection, Fiction, Horror, Short Story
Author: Max Nolten
Narrator: Virtual Voice
Publisher: Independently Published
Release date: 01-16-2026
Language: English

Summary:
YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE LOOKED An Anthology of Short Horror Stories by Max Nolten Curiosity is never harmless. In You Shouldn’t Have Looked, ordinary moments become points of no return. A late-night chat window. A walk through the woods. A quiet house. A familiar voice asking the wrong question. Each story follows people who do something small and human—who look closer, listen longer, stay when they should leave. And pay for it. These stories explore the horror of being noticed: by strangers, by systems, by killers, by things that wear human shapes and speak in careful words. Some victims are hunted. Some are studied. Some are simply chosen. There are no heroes here, no rescues, no clean endings—only the slow realization that once attention is given, it cannot be taken back. Blending psychological dread, grounded violence, and modern existential fear, You Shouldn’t Have Looked is a collection about inevitability, consent, and the moment when fear becomes certainty. Because nothing here comes out of nowhere. You opened the door. You stayed. You looked.

Titel: Gladius Dei & Schwere Stunde
Kategorien: Collection, Fiction, Short Story
Autor: Bernd Plagemann
Erzähler: Will Quadflieg
Herausgeber: Deutsche Grammophon Literatur
Veröffentlichungsdatum: 01-15-2026
Sprache: Deutsch

Zusammenfassung:
Die Novelle Schwere Stunde erzählt von den Selbstzweifeln Friedrich Schillers, während er den Wallenstein verfasst. „Es misslang, und alles war vergebens!" lässt Mann den großen Dichter mit seinem Werk hadern. „Die Armee! Die Armee hätte gezeigt werden müssen! Da sie nicht vors Auge gebracht werden konnte – war die ungeheure Kunst denkbar, sie der Einbildung aufzuzwingen?" Wie in vielen Werken Thomas Manns, spricht auch aus dieser Erzählung seine Überzeugung, dass erst Leid und Not den wahren Künstler zum Vorschein bringen. Und so kommt auch Schiller zu dem Schluss: „Und wenn das unselige Werk ihn leiden machte, war es nicht in der Ordnung so und fast schon ein gutes Zeichen?" Das Licht des anbrechenden Morgens trägt auch die letzten Zweifel des Dichters fort: „Und es wurde fertig, das Leidenswerk. Es wurde vielleicht nicht gut, aber es wurde fertig. Und als es fertig war, siehe, da war es auch gut." Auch Gladius Dei ist zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts entstanden. Nach dem unerwarteten Erfolg der Buddenbrooks begab sich Thomas Mann auf eine Reise nach Florenz, um sich zu einem neuen Roman inspirieren zu lassen.

Title: The Half-Life of Guilt
Subtitle: A Novel
Categories: Family, Fiction
Author: Lynn Stegner
Narrator: Paige Reisenfeld
Publisher: Tantor Media
Release date: 01-13-2026
Language: English

Summary:
Lynn Stegner's acclaimed novels and story collections have drawn comparisons to the works of Margaret Atwood, Barbara Kingsolver, Alice Munro, and John Updike. Now in her new novel, The Half-Life of Guilt, Stegner tells the story of Clair Bugato and Mason Comstock. Together they journey to the world's largest saltworks in Baja California, where a proposed expansion threatens the California gray whale population, recently come back from the brink of extinction. In the midst of a conservation battle, they meet a mysterious son of Mexico, Rubio Cantú, who leads them to the powers that be. Their two-week journey sends Clair deep into the past, where she reviews the divergent paths she and her near-identical twin sister have taken away from a childhood tragedy. At the same time, Mason confronts his own unhappy past in Cornwall, England, with a father whose hate was stronger than his love. No other work of fiction patterns the warp and weft of human guilt, the homesickness only love can cure, environmental crises, the intrinsic conflict between international commerce and planetary health, and the necessity of forgiveness. The Half-Life of Guilt is woven from these themes, delivering to the listener an engrossing and transformative literary experience.

Titel: Der Fluss der Zeit
Kategorien: Collection, Fiction, Short Story
Autor: Pascal Mercier
Erzähler: Markus Hoffmann
Herausgeber: Hörbuch Hamburg
Veröffentlichungsdatum: 01-08-2026
Sprache: Deutsch

Zusammenfassung:
Pascal Mercier ist der Meister des philosophischen Erzählens. »Nachtzug nach Lissabon« und »Das Gewicht der Worte« verführten ein Millionenpublikum dazu, über große Themen wie Identität, Freiheit, Zeit oder den Sinn des Lebens nachzudenken. Nun ist er in fünf bisher unveröffentlichten Erzählungen auch als Meister der kurzen Form zu entdecken: Kann ein Mann auf dem Höhepunkt seiner Jahre noch einmal die Zeit seines Aufbruchs ins Leben heraufbeschwören? Wann beschädigt Großzügigkeit die Würde eines Künstlers? Gibt es Emotionen, die unser Verstand nicht mehr erreicht? Noch einmal lernen wir mit Pascal Mercier unvergessliche Figuren kennen, die uns mit ihren Gefühlen und Gedanken sehr nahekommen – und dabei unverhofft Einblicke in unser eigenes Selbst eröffnen. Bezaubernd und einfühlsam gelesen von Mercier-Stimme Markus Hoffmann.

Narrateur: Guy Nadon
Éditeur: Kampus Media
Date de publication: 01-07-2026
Langue: Français

Résumé:
Publié en 1875, ce recueil de Charles Monselet réunit des histoires d’amour et de galanterie où s’esquissent, en courts tableaux, les mœurs d’un temps révolu. D’une plume vive, tour à tour tendre et malicieusement ironique, l’auteur multiplie les variations sur le désir, la coquetterie, la fidélité et leurs illusions. Silhouettes élégantes, scènes fines et traits d’esprit composent une galerie raffinée, parfois piquante, jamais cruelle. Un voyage dans l’esprit d’hier, pour goûter la grâce légère et l’acuité d’un observateur complice.

Título: Relatos de la cara B
Categorías: Collection, Fiction, Short Story
Autor: Mónica González Rodríguez
Narrador: Rosa Vila
Editor: Vía 5105 Editorial
Fecha de publicación: 01-07-2026
Idioma: Español

Resumen:
Relatos de la cara B es una colección de relatos cortos sobre personajes que sufren injusticias, cometen abusos o son maltratados por la vida, la sociedad o incluso por ellos mismos. Narraciones de la cara menos social, esa menos exitosa, la que ocultamos a los demás, la que nos avergüenza; pero que forma parte de nuestra realidad. Algunos relatos se apropian de la realidad como en Tuve suerte, que se basa en los acontecimientos que sacudieron a la opinión pública en Waco, Texas. Otros crean una textura tan real que te invita a indagar si lo expresado por los personajes ha sucedido o es solo parte de nuestra alterna ficción, como es el caso de Si me sonríes te mato. En definitiva, historias reales que a través de sus personajes de ficción nos recuerdan que cualquiera podría verse reflejado en ellas. Mónica González, trazando la narración de Rosa Vila, nos conducen de la mano a explorar esa parte B, silenciosa y desafiante, que nos intimida.

Title: Skull Kingdoms
Subtitle: An Imaginary Omnibus
Categories: Collection, Fiction, Short Story
Author: Matthew Burnside
Narrator: Nathan Castillo
Publisher: Unsolicited Press
Release date: 01-05-2026
Language: English

Summary:
Boasting a cast of dreamful characters, from Young Escher to George Bailey to a wide array of inanimate objects absconded from the dark tonics of our childhood – be they headless dolls, cuckoo clocks, inverted carpets or ravenous prisms, SKULL KINGDOMS: AN IMAGINARY OMNIBUS dives headlong into the radii of the imagination, measuring our inner landscapes against the sharp, enchanted edges of the playgrounds we create to keep us safe from the outer world. In these formally audacious escapologies, speakers duck the responsibilities of adulthood, choosing to crash into Ottomans or sway along with imaginary galleons over the violence of growing up and its hungry regimes that would blot out all color to leave us listless. Concluding with a roleplaying game of loneliness, Skull Kingdoms proposes a fanciful, novel cartography for reimagining an otherwise jagged, savagery of terrain.

Título: La Vida que Nunca Viviste y otros cuentos
Categorías: Collection, Fiction, Short Story
Autor: José Reyes
Narrador: Felix G. Botello Beltran
Editor: Jose A. Reyes
Fecha de publicación: 12-30-2025
Idioma: Español

Resumen:
La vida que nunca viviste y otros cuentos es una antología que explora la brecha entre la vida que soñamos y la que nos toca. A través de relatos que se mueven entre lo cotidiano y lo extraordinario, el autor nos lleva por escenarios donde el amor, la enfermedad, la pérdida y la esperanza conviven con giros inesperados y atmósferas que sorprenden. Cada cuento abre una grieta por donde asoma una misma pregunta: ¿qué hacemos con la vida que nunca viviremos? Desde amores imposibles hasta rutinas rotas por la enfermedad, pasando por futuros inquietantes y personajes que se reinventan frente al dolor, estas historias invitan a reconocernos en los caminos no tomados y en los sueños que aún resisten. Con una voz íntima y emotiva, este libro no solo cuenta historias: las convierte en espejos donde late lo que somos, lo que fuimos y lo que nunca seremos. Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.

Genres: Collection, Fiction, Short Story
Auteur: J.-J. Grandville
Narrateur: Joëlle Paré-Beaulieu
Éditeur: Kampus Média
Date de publication: 12-20-2025
Langue: Français

Résumé:
Dans ce premier volume des Fleurs animées, Grandville convie à un jardin où l’esprit du XIXe siècle fleurit. Sous la plume malicieuse d’Alphonse Karr, Taxile Delord et du comte Fœlix, les fleurs, quittant l’herbier des savants et la vitrine des amateurs, se font personnages, allégories et confidences. Fantaisie, satire légère et poésie s’y entremêlent pour célébrer la nature, épingler les travers du monde et réveiller une tendresse simple pour ce qui pousse et parfume. Un bouquet de tableaux élégants et piquants à savourer à l’oreille, où chaque pétale semble murmurer une histoire—et garde assez de mystère pour laisser la surprise éclore.
