THE WOMAN UPSTAIRS is about good old spontaneous combustion of a human. HUMAN ATMOSPHERE seems to be about the 1780s discovery of a scanner that could make the human aura visible or else a medical scanner like the very modern ones which show various parts of the body in different colors or temperatures, such as lighting up part of the brain for language, etc. very original. Rose Pagliasi (sp) is a little girl whose refusal to return to something threatening in THE ROOM UPSTAIRS has surprising cause.

delightful discovery

just read the biography of Ripley, a modern audiobook from overdrive/library, which is apparently not in the PD. so this was fun. I'm surely not the first to enjoy these? why don't you check them out?

Flagrant example of white devils terrorizing BIPOCs. Ban this ode to white cultural imperialism. Support Bezos. Bezos and other white liberal billionairs have a plan to prevent inequality. That plan involves banning the free audio programs because they are raycyst. Only buy titles from audio.com. Those programs have been carefully curated to help BIPOCs. Thanks Bezos.
