Title: More Notes of a Dirty Old Man Subtitle: The Uncollected Columns Author: Charles Bukowski, David Stephen Calonne - editor Narrator: Will Patton Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 51 mins Language: English Release date: 10-31-17 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: "He loads his head full of coal and diamonds shoot out of his finger tips. What a trick. The mole genius has left us with another digest. It's a full house - read 'em and weep." - Tom Waits After toiling in obscurity for years, Charles Bukowski suddenly found fame in 1967 with his autobiographical newspaper column, "Notes of a Dirty Old Man", and a book of that name in 1969. He continued writing this column, in one form or another, through the mid-1980s. More Notes of a Dirty Old Man gathers many uncollected gems from the column's 20-year run. Filled with his usual obsessions - sex, booze, gambling - More features Bukowski's offbeat insights into politics and literature, his tortured, violent relationships with women, and his lurid escapades on the poetry reading circuit. Highlighting his versatility, the book ranges from thinly-veiled autobiography to purely fictional tales of dysfunctional suburbanites, disgraced politicians, and down-and-out sports promoters - climaxing with a long, hilarious adventure among French filmmakers, to "My Friend the Gambler", based on his experiences making the movie Barfly. From his lowly days at the post office through his later literary fame, More follows the entire arc of Bukowski's colorful career. OBIE winner Will Patton (Remember the Titans, The Good Wife, Armageddon) recreates Bukowski in his visceral prime, along with every eye-popping character in his life, each adversary, lover, and stranger in a lost city. More about the author: Charles Bukowski is one of America's best-known contemporary writers of poetry and prose, and, many would claim, its most influential and imitated poet. He was born in Andernach, Germany and raised in Los Angeles, where he lived for 50 years. He published his first story in 1944, when he was 24, and began writing poetry at the age of 35. He died in San Pedro, California, on March 9, 1994, at the age of 73, shortly after completing his last novel, Pulp.

Title: Sam the Cat and Other Stories Author: Matthew Klam Narrator: Matthew Klam Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 4 mins Language: English Release date: 07-04-17 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 7 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: The New Yorker named Matt Klam one of the 20 best young writers in America, and the seven stories that comprise Sam the Cat are all the proof we need. Knowing, perceptive, and wickedly funny, Matt Klam loves his characters but spares them nothing: the swaggering womanizer Sam falls in love with a woman across a crowded room who, upon closer inspection, turns out to be not quite what he expected; a self-doubting young professional attends the posh wedding of his successful friend and delivers a disastrous toast; the chicken one man's girlfriend is preparing for dinner comes to embody the darkly corrosive element in their relationship. These stories crackle with humor, intelligence and style and add up to an outrageously funny, unforgettable debut. Critic Reviews: "A riveting, honest and unvarnished voice that sounds like no one else's." (Los Angeles Times) "Repeatedly nails the fragile braggadocio of the modern American male.... Each story takes on a memorable life of its own, thanks to Klam's...ability to find the perfect word or phrase." (San Francisco Chronicle)

Title: In Another Country Subtitle: Selected Stories Author: David Constantine Narrator: Juliet Stevenson, Derek Jacobi Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 48 mins Language: English Release date: 02-02-17 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: The stories of David Constantine are unlike any others. His characters possess you instantly, making you see the world as they do, sometimes as exiles, driven into isolation by convictions that even they don't fully understand; sometimes as carriers of an unspoken but unbearable weight. The things they pursue or evade are often unseen and at a distance, like the perfectly preserved body of a woman in the title story, waiting to be discovered in the receding ice of a Swiss glacier. These tokens of the past or future haunt Constantine's characters, but the landscapes that produce them also offer salvation, places of refuge or small treasures to take solace in, like the piece of driftwood a beachcomber chooses to carve into his idea of perfection. Gathering together stories from over two decades of writing, this selection demonstrates why Constantine has been hailed as perhaps the finest of contemporary writers in this form. Their bewitching and urgent language is at one and the same time unsettling and strong enough to help. Born in Salford in 1944, David Constantine worked for 30 years as a university teacher of German language and literature. He has published several volumes of poetry, most recently Nine Fathom Deep (2009). He is a translator of Hölderlin, Brecht, Goethe, Kleist, Michaux and Jaccottet. David's short story 'In Another Country' has been adapted into 45 Years - a major Film4-funded feature film directed by Andrew Haigh and starring Tom Courtenay and Charlotte Rampling. This film won two silver bear awards at the Berlinale International Film Festival in February 2015. Image Rights: Cover image by Agatha A. Nitecka. Courtesy of Curzon Artificial Eye. From 45 Years, directed by Andrew Haigh, starring Charlotte Rampling and Tom Courtenay. Critic Reviews: "Constantine's stories ache with concern for the retreating, vulnerable, sacred natural world." (The New York Times Book Review)

Title: The Premonition Subtitle: A Short Story Prequel to The Sleepwalker Author: Chris Bohjalian Narrator: Cady McClain Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 29 mins Language: English Release date: 11-29-16 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 51 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: This mesmerizing original short story - a prequel to The Sleepwalker - from Chris Bohjalian, best-selling author of The Sandcastle Girls and The Guest Room, tells the tale of one strange summer when a pair of horses die, an odd boy moves to a small Vermont town, and a woman rises from her bed and disappears into the night. Lianna Ahlberg is 17 when a thunderstorm snaps a power line to the earth, electrifying the ground, the rain spreading the current like wildfire across the wet grass. Two horses are killed in the nearby field, unnerving the neighbors, upsetting the peculiar boy who has just moved in, and filling Lianna with a deep and abiding sense of dread. This is not the first unusual thing to happen that summer - a summer when Lianna's mother begins to sleepwalk in the smallest hours of morning - and it will not be the last.

During the trial, Ms French's housekeeper, Janet, gives damning evidence against Vole, but as Romaine's cross-examination begins, her motives come under scrutiny from the courtroom. One question remains: will justice out? Critic Reviews: "The plots are so good that one marvels...most of them would have made a full length thriller." (Daily Mirror)

Title: The Cricket on the Hearth Subtitle: A Fairy Tale of Home Author: Charles Dickens Narrator: Simon Prebble Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 23 mins Language: English Release date: 10-12-16 Publisher: Dreamscape Media, LLC Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: In the 1840s, Charles Dickens wrote five short stories with strong social and moral messages.

Following the home life of John Peerybingle, the story introduces the many people in John's family and life, along with a cricket that acts as the guardian angel of the family. Like its predecessors, this story also contains heavy social and moral implications. However it differs from A Christmas Carol and The Chimes, in that its main theme focuses on actions that affect the family, rather than action affecting society as a whole.

Title: Alan Bennett: Stories Subtitle: Read by Alan Bennett Author: Alan Bennett Narrator: Alan Bennett Format: Original Recording Length: 11 hrs and 3 mins Language: English Release date: 09-01-16 Publisher: BBC Worldwide Ltd Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 11 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: A unique collection of eight Alan Bennett stories, read by the author. Alan Bennett is one of Britain's best-loved authors and an acclaimed storyteller. This exclusive compilation includes eight of his best tales, collected together for the first time. Here is his celebrated, iconic memoir 'The Lady in the Van'; as well as two fascinating autobiographical accounts of his family and childhood. 'Uncle Clarence' sees Bennett visiting the grave of a relative who died in Flanders in 1917; while in 'Hymn' he joins forces with composer George Fenton and the Medici String Quartet to explore his musical memories. Bennett's incisive, acute observations shine through in his fiction too, with wry, moving and darkly humorous meditations on death ('Father! Father! Burning Bright' and 'The Laying On of Hands'), sex ('The Shielding of Mrs Forbes) and middle-age ennui ('The Clothes They Stood Up In'). His gift for affectionate satire reaches its pinnacle in 'The Uncommon Reader', a delightful tale in which the Queen discovers the pleasures of literature. Poignant, compassionate, wise and witty, the stories included are 'The Lady in the Van', 'Uncle Clarence', 'The Clothes They Stood Up In', 'Father! Father! Burning Bright', 'Hymn', 'The Laying On of Hands', 'The Uncommon Reader' and 'The Shielding of Mrs Forbes'.

Title: Ninety-Nine Stories of God Author: Joy Williams Narrator: Elisabeth Rodgers Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 57 mins Language: English Release date: 07-12-16 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 20 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award finalist Joy Williams has a one-of-a-kind gift for capturing both the absurdity and the darkness of everyday life. In Ninety-Nine Stories of God, she takes on one of mankind's most confounding preoccupations: the Supreme Being. This series of short, fictional vignettes explores our day-to-day interactions with an ever-elusive and arbitrary God. It's the Book of Common Prayer as seen through a looking glass - a powerfully vivid collection of seemingly random life moments. The figures that haunt these stories range from Kafka (talking to a fish) to the Aztecs, Tolstoy to Abraham and Sarah, O. J. Simpson to a pack of wolves. Most of Williams' characters, however, are like the rest of us: anonymous strivers and bumblers who brush up against God in the least expected places or go searching for him when he's standing right there. The Lord shows up at a hot-dog-eating contest, a demolition derby, a formal gala, and a drugstore, where he's in line to get a shingles vaccination. At turns comic and yearning, lyric and aphoristic, Ninety-Nine Stories of God serves as a pure distillation of one of our great artists.

Title: East, West Subtitle: Stories Author: Salman Rushdie Narrator: Sunil Malhotra, Steven Crossley Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 58 mins Language: English Release date: 07-11-16 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: A rickshaw driver dreams of being a Bombay movie star; Indian diplomats, who as childhood friends hatched Star Trek fantasies, must boldly go into a hidden universe of conspiracy and violence; and Hamlet's jester is caught up in murderous intrigues. In Rushdie's hybrid world, an Indian guru can be a redheaded Welshman, while Christopher Columbus is an immigrant, dreaming of Western glory. Rushdie allows himself, like his characters, to be pulled now in one direction, then in another. Yet he remains a writer who insists on our cultural complexity; who, rising beyond ideology, refuses to choose between East and West and embraces the world.

Title: The Chesapeake: Oyster Buyboats, Ships & Steamed Crabs Subtitle: Short Stories, Fish Tales & the Country Philosopher Author: Jack Rue, Capt. Joseph C. Lore, Stephen Gore Uhler, Mark Robbins, Vi Englund, Fred McCoy, Lenny Rudow, Larry Jarboe, Pepper Langley, Ken Rossignol Narrator: Scott W. Kirby Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 8 mins Language: English Release date: 05-11-16 Publisher: Kenneth C. Rossignol Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: Welcome aboard the third volume of The Chesapeake. This book, The Chesapeake: Oyster Buyboats, Ships & Steamed Crabs, spans the decades of the lives of our writers and the times of the Chesapeake Tidewater region from 1900 to the present time. A first-person account of Chesapeake Bay bounty being harvested and provided to the national market is related by Capt. Joe Lore of Solomon's Island along with an interview with his father, Capt. J. C. Lore, Sr., from 50 years earlier. Pepper Langley relished his days of establishing his own business after his high school commencement speaker told him he had a gold mine in his backyard. The storytelling of Vi Englund is superb as she wrote vivid descriptions of going to sea. Get lost in the middle of roaring Atlantic storms in her ship's galley, and appreciate the majesty of the sea. Mark Robbins provides entertaining tales of sailing, and Cap'n Larry Jarboe cannot be beat when it comes to knowing where the fish are hanging out and how to get them on your hook. The Country Philosopher, Stephen Gore Uhler, got an elbow from another philosopher, Amos Arthur Holmes, but Steve wins overall for truthfulness - not a trait he learned from Jack Rue. Between Jack Rue and Fred McCoy, old tales are here for a new generation of tale-learners eager to find digital news of days of old. Some of the old gold mines of The Solomon's Islander and The Chesapeake have been reopened, and we found Tony Marconi and Lenny Rudow hiding back in the caverns, grinning and eager to share their news and views with the world. The Bill Burton State Park at Cambridge to the Cape Charles Harbor shown on the cover unite both shores of the Chesapeake to bring you, the listener, who may or may not dabble in U-boat fantasies and time warps, a complete view of the Tidewater region.

Title: 2113 Subtitle: Stories Inspired by the Music of Rush Author: Kevin J. Anderson - editor, John McFetridge - editor Narrator: Paul Boehmer Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 3 mins Language: English Release date: 04-01-16 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 12 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: The music of Rush, one of the most successful bands in music history, is filled with fantastic stories, evocative images, thought-provoking futures and pasts. In this anthology, notable, best-selling, and award-winning writers each chose a Rush song as the spark for a new story, drawing inspiration from the visionary trio Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Neil Peart. Enduring stark dystopian struggles or testing the limits of the human spirit, the characters populating 2113 find strength while searching for hope in a world that is repressive, dangerous, or just debilitatingly bland. Most of these tales are science fiction, but some are fantasies, thrillers, even edgy mainstream. Many of Rush's big hits are represented, as well as deeper cuts...with wonderful results. This anthology also includes the seminal stories that inspired the Rush classics "Red Barchetta" and "Roll the Bones", as well as Kevin J. Anderson's novella sequel to the groundbreaking Rush album 2112. 2113 contains stories by New York Times best-selling authors Kevin J. Anderson, Michael Z. Williamson, David Alan Mack, David Farland, Dayton Ward, and Mercedes Lackey; award winners Fritz Leiber, John McFetridge, Steven Savile, Brad R. Torgersen, Ron Collins, David Niall Wilson, and Brian Hodge, as well as many other authors with their imaginations on fire.

Title: A Lord Rotheby's Influence Bundle Author: Catherine Gayle Narrator: Pearl Hewitt Format: Unabridged Length: 31 hrs and 41 mins Language: English Release date: 10-12-15 Publisher: Catherine Gayle Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 30 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: This first three full novels in Catherine Gayle's Lord Rotheby's Influence series.... Twice a Rake When Aurora Hyatt loses her journal in Hyde Park, her ruin is a foregone conclusion. If anyone discovers her writings, they'll find scandalous fantasies involving the newest rake in town alongside entirely-too-candid thoughts about her typical dreary suitors. Aurora will either be forced into a loveless marriage with the first nodcock to make an offer, or she'll be assigned a permanent position on the shelf. What catastrophe will God smote down upon her next? Saving Grace The blasted man will not stop following her. Well, he isn't following her...not exactly. They are just always thrown together, and he's everything she wants but can't have. It is downright infuriating - especially when he kisses her. Merely a Miss Miss Jane Matthews feels completely out of place amongst the finery of the ton. She's the daughter of a country vicar, for goodness sake, and nearly a spinster to boot. But when her distant cousin - a dowager duchess, of all people - offers to sponsor her for a season in London, she agrees, but only so she can search for a storefront for her business. Perhaps, in that regard the season won't all be in vain.

Title: Night Mission Subtitle: Seven WWII-Era Stories Author: Clive Lodge Narrator: Alastair Cameron Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 13 mins Language: English Release date: 09-03-15 Publisher: Lesley Lodge Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: "Night Mission", with its burning plane, heroism, and greed, was - like the other six short stories in this collection - inspired by Clive Lodge's experiences in World War II and the decade after. "There's No Scar Now" - with its gripping opener, "I killed John James Beresford", is set in Kent and draws on his experience in the Home Guard before he enlisted in the RAF. "The Tunnel", by contrast, is set in peacetime, some years after the war, but reveals how unpunished atrocities of war can haunt a person. Clive's stories are very much of their time and they reflect the thinking and values of those years. "Something She Said", for example, is about physical passion but the attitude towards premarital sex - and therefore the logic of its twist - would be almost incomprehensible to, say, today's teenagers in the UK. In all seven of these stories, the detail and atmosphere evoked will take you back to those days of the War and just after.

The two scientists meet when a lab rat escapes from its cage after giving birth. When they find the rat, they also discover one tiny, raw-pink baby, mewling despairingly at a frequency inaudible to human ears. From there, love - or some disjointed, broken version of it - develops between the scientists. But when their intermittent relationship ends, one of them languishes in a sedated haze at a psychiatric hospital, pondering how unquantifiable emotional factors can influence an otherwise orderly, rational life. Haunting and fluorescently lit, The Inaudible Frequency of Longing is for anyone who has wanted an empirical explanation of love, heartbreak, and the inevitability of human error.

Title: Rock Springs Subtitle: Stories Author: Richard Ford Narrator: Fleet Cooper Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 19 mins Language: English Release date: 12-19-14 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 18 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: In these 10 exquisite stories, first published by Atlantic Monthly Press in 1987 and now reissued as a Grove Press paperback, Richard Ford mines literary gold from the wind-scrubbed landscape of the American West - and from the guarded hopes and gnawing loneliness of the people who live there: a refugee from justice driving across Wyoming with his daughter and an unhappy girlfriend in a stolen, cranberry-colored Mercedes; a boy watching his family dissolve in a night of tragicomic violence; and two men and a woman swapping hard-luck stories in a frontier bar as they try to sweeten their luck. Rock Springs is a masterpiece of taut narration, cleanly chiseled prose, and empathy so generous that it feels like a kind of grace.

Each audiobook is comprised of all-new stories, each one set in a distinct neighborhood or location within the city of the audiobook. Includes brand-new stories by: Gina B. Nahai, Salar Abdoh, Lily Farhadpour, Azardokht Bahrami, Yourik Karim-Masihi, Vali Khalili, Farhaad Heidari Gooran, Aida Moradi Ahani, Mahsa Mohebali, Majed Neisi, Danial Haghighi, Javad Afhami, Sima Saeedi, Mahak Taheri, and Hossein Abkenar. From the Introduction by Salar Abdoh: "There is something of both the absolutely spectacular and positively disgraceful about Tehran. But most writers around the world are inclined to think that their own sprawling metropolis is the capital of every imaginable vice and crime, of impossible love and tenderness and cruelty and malice in measures that seldom exist anywhere else. For me, Tehran's case is no different - except that there really is a difference here. The city may be a hothouse of decadence, a den of inequity, all that. But it still exists under the watchful eye of a very unique entity, the Islamic Republic. The city enforces its own morality police, and there are regular public hangings of drug dealers and thieves. Because of this, there is a raging sense of a split personality about the place - the imposed propriety of the mosque rubbing against the hidden (and more often not so hidden) rhythms of the real city... There is always an element of the end of the world about this place. A feeling of being once removed from the edge of the precipice. Elsewhere I have called it the 'Seismic City' - the seismic sanctuary. All of this will end one day. Yes. And maybe sooner than later. And when it does, by God, we will miss it." Critic Reviews: "This entry in Akashic's noir series takes the gritty sensibilities born out of American film and fiction to Tehran." (Publishers Weekly)
