Your Audiobook Horoscope: Taurus
A classic Taurus is patient, sensuous, and a bit stubborn. Don’t confuse their laid-back demeanor as not having an intellectual or analytical side. Quite the opposite—ruled by Venus they’re innately tender and intuitive. They can deconstruct almost any feeling or idea and elevate it to higher understanding. To get in a Taurean mindset, indulge in some intense short stories such as Milk Blood Heat by Dantiel W. Moniz, or go on a subversive sexual journey with The Appointment by Katherina Volckmer, and shatter social expectations with Sophie Mackintosh’s Blue Ticket. Find more on the Libro.fm blog!

Stories
By Dantiel W. Moniz
Narrated by: Machelle Williams
Length: 5 hours 31 minutes
Milk Blood Heat
“Milk Blood Heat grabbed me and wouldn’t let go. The prose blisters with a beauty so raw and intense it borders on horrifying. With widely differing characters, voices, and settings, each story makes its own unique contribution to the collection, yet each propels the reader onward in turn. Dantiel W. Moniz is a jaw-dropping new star on the literary stage.”

*BELLETRIST'S AUGUST 2020 BOOK PICK*
"[Mackintosh's] writing is clear and sharp, with piercing moments of wisdom and insight that drive toward a pitch-perfect ending...Blue Ticket adds something new to the dystopian tradition set by Orwell’s 1984 or Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale." --New York Times Book Review

The Appointment
A Novel
By Katharina Volckmer
Narrated by: Katharina Volckmer
Length: 2 hours 53 minutes
The Appointment
“This quick listen, read by the author, packs a punch. Intense and dark, with biting humor that often caught me off-guard, The Appointment is a stream-of-consciousness monologue of a patient talking to a doctor during an examination. Through this monologue, we learn about the patient’s history, fantasies, and self-image. Sometimes disturbing and always riveting, this psychological journey is well worth the listen. I highly recommend it and can’t wait for more from Katharina Volckmer!”
