    Moonlight Should Be Beautiful
    Jun 9 2026

    Grace shares a profound story: She was sexual assaulted as a minor, which she kept secret, bearing the pain alone. The SA she suffered forced her to make an utterly heartbreaking choice. And now, circumstances have led her to even more heartbreak as the past confronts her with fresh consequences of the decision she made as a kid. It's a turbulent story of good vs. evil, and how even making the right decision can feel so wrong.

    If you are the victim of sexual assault, you can seek help now from the RAINN National Sexual Assault Hotline. RAINN.ORG

  • Sneak Preview: The Pain of Others

    Sneak Preview: The Pain of Others
    Apr 21 2026

    Here's an excerpt from a new Pushkin audiobook I think you'll enjoy, The Pain of

    Others by Miguel Ángel Hernández. In a quiet town in the Spanish countryside, Miguel Ángel

    Hernández's best friend murdered his sister and took his own life by jumping off a cliff. No one

    ever knew why. The investigation was closed, and the crime forgotten. Twenty years later, when

    time has dulled the shock but not the questions, Miguel returns home, putting himself in the

    shoes of a detective, in an attempt to reconstruct the tragic night that marked the end of his

    adolescence. But the investigation will awaken ghosts that he thought he had left behind: a

    childhood marked by the Church, by sin and guilt; the constant presence of illness and death;

    the oppressive, closed world from which he managed to escape. Based on true events, The

    Pain of Others is a chilling audiobook that blends police thriller, investigative reporting, and

    literary suspense—an unflinching reckoning with violence, memory, and the question that still

    haunts the author: Did he fail to see the warning signs that his best friend was capable of this

    horrific crime? Find The Pain of Others at Pushkin.fm or wherever you get audiobooks.
