Title: The King in Yellow Author: Robert W. Chambers Narrator: Philippe Duquenoy Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 56 mins Language: English Release date: 11-01-17 Publisher: A.R.N. Publications Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 12 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: This collection by Robert W. Chambers was first published in 1895 and features stories loosely tied together with one theme, the supernatural. Many of the stories in The King in Yellow were not received well by the critics of the time due to their supernatural undertones. Some of the stories mention a play by the same name that had been outlawed in some regions of the world. It was thought that the play could induce madness in those who viewed it. Two of the stories in this book take place in a fictional world of the future 1920s and are macabre in tone. Eventually, The King in Yellow would go on to become a sensation, partly due to its forbidden tone and subject matter. Today, this book of short stories is as popular as ever, especially with those who like a little supernatural mixed in with their literature.

Title: Thirteen Ways of Looking Subtitle: Fiction Author: Colum McCann Narrator: Colum McCann Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 8 mins Language: English Release date: 10-13-15 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 143 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: In such acclaimed novels as Let the Great World Spin and TransAtlantic, National Book Award-winning author Colum McCann has transfixed listeners with his precision, tenderness, and authority. Now, in his first collection of short fiction in more than a decade, McCann charts the territory of chance and the profound and intimate consequences of even our smallest moments. "As it was, it was like being set down in the best of poems, carried into a cold landscape, blindfolded, turned around, unblindfolded, forced, then, to invent new ways of seeing." In the exuberant title novella, a retired judge reflects on his life's work, unaware as he goes about his daily routines that this particular morning will be his last. In "Sh'khol", a mother spending Christmas alone with her son confronts the unthinkable when he disappears while swimming off the coast near their home in Ireland. In "Treaty", an elderly nun catches a snippet of a news report in which it is revealed that the man who once kidnapped and brutalized her is alive, masquerading as an agent of peace. And in "What Time Is It Now, Where You Are?", a writer constructs a story about a Marine in Afghanistan calling home on New Year's Eve. Deeply personal, subtly subversive, at times harrowing, and indeed funny, yet also full of comfort, Thirteen Ways of Looking is a striking achievement. With unsurpassed empathy for his characters and their inner lives, Colum McCann forges from their stories a profound tribute to our search for meaning and grace. The collection is a rumination on the power of storytelling in a world where language and memory can sometimes falter but in the end do not fail us and a contemplation of the healing power of literature.

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 249 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: "I have always had faith that the best writers will rise to the top, like cream, sooner or later, and will become exactly as well-known as they should be - their work talked about, quoted, taught, performed, filmed, set to music, anthologized. Perhaps, with the present collection, Lucia Berlin will begin to gain the attention she deserves." - Lydia Davis, from the foreword A Manual for Cleaning Women compiles the best work of the legendary short-story writer Lucia Berlin.

Listeners will revel in this remarkable collection from a master of the form and wonder how they'd ever overlooked her in the first place.

Title: What Is Not Yours Is Not Yours Subtitle: Stories Author: Helen Oyeyemi Narrator: Bahni Turpin, Ann Marie Gideon, Piter Marek Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 42 mins Language: English Release date: 03-08-16 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 84 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: From the award-winning author of Boy, Snow, Bird and Mr. Fox comes an enchanting collection of intertwined stories. Playful, ambitious, and exquisitely imagined, What Is Not Yours Is Not Yours is cleverly built around the idea of keys, literal and metaphorical. The key to a house, the key to a heart, the key to a secret - Oyeyemi's keys not only unlock elements of her characters' lives, they promise further labyrinths on the other side. In "Books and Roses", one special key opens a library, a garden, and clues to at least two lovers' fates. In "Is Your Blood as Red as This?", an unlikely key opens the heart of a student at a puppeteering school. "'Sorry' Doesn't Sweeten Her Tea" involves a "house of locks", where doors can be closed only with a key - with surprising unobservable developments. And in "If a Book Is Locked There's Probably a Good Reason for That Don't You Think", a key keeps a mystical diary locked (for good reason). Oyeyemi's creative vision and storytelling are effervescent, wise, and insightful, and her tales span multiple times and landscapes as they tease boundaries between coexisting realities. Is a key a gate, a gift, or an invitation? What Is Not Yours Is Not Yours captivates as it explores the many possible answers.

James Narrator: David Suchet Format: Unabridged Length: 50 mins Language: English Release date: 12-18-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 336 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: The story tells the tale of an introverted academic who happens upon a strange whistle while exploring a cemetery on the East Anglian coast. When blown, the whistle unleashes a supernatural force that terrorises its discoverer.

One of James' most important achievements was to redefine the ghost story for the new century by dispensing with many of the formal Gothic trappings of his predecessors, and replacing them with more realistic contemporary settings. "Montague Rhodes James has an intelligent and scientific knowledge of human nerves and feelings; and knows just how to apportion statement, imagery, and subtle suggestions in order to secure the best results with his readers."

Title: The Dinner Party Subtitle: Stories Author: Joshua Ferris Narrator: Chris Kayser, Jennifer Riker, Zach Roe, Nicholas Tecosky Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 4 mins Language: English Release date: 05-02-17 Publisher: Hachette Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 37 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: The first collection of short stories from the critically acclaimed, prize-winning author of To Rise Again at a Decent Hour. These 11 stories by Joshua Ferris, many of which were first published in The New Yorker, are at once thrilling, strange, and comic. The modern tribulations of marriage, ambition, and the fear of missing out as the temptations flow like wine and the minutes of life tick down are explored with the characteristic wit and insight that have made Ferris one of our most critically acclaimed novelists. Each of these stories burrows deep into the often awkward and hilarious misunderstandings that pass between strangers and lovers alike and that turn ordinary lives upside down. Ferris shows to what lengths we mortals go to coax human meaning from our very modest time on earth, an effort that skews ever more desperately in the direction of redemption. There's Arty Groys, the Florida retiree whose birthday celebration involves pizza, a prostitute, and a life-saving heart attack. There's Sarah, the Brooklynite whose shape-shifting existential dilemma is set in motion by a simple spring breeze. And there's Jack, a man so warped by past experience that he's incapable of having a normal social interaction with the man he hires to help him move out of storage. The stories in The Dinner Party are about lives changed forever when the reckless gives way to possibility and the ordinary cedes ground to mystery. And each one confirms Ferris' reputation as one of the most dazzlingly talented, deeply humane writers at work today.

Title: The Accusation Subtitle: Forbidden Stories from Inside North Korea Author: Bandi Narrator: David Shih Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 10 mins Language: English Release date: 04-11-17 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 35 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: The Accusation is a deeply moving and eye-opening work of fiction that paints a powerful portrait of life under the North Korean regime. Set during the period of Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il's leadership, the seven stories that make up The Accusation give voice to people living under this most bizarre and horrifying of dictatorships. The characters of these compelling stories come from a wide variety of backgrounds, from a young mother living among the elite in Pyongyang whose son misbehaves during a political rally, to a former Communist war hero who is deeply disillusioned with the intrusion of the Party into everything he holds dear, to a husband and father who is denied a travel permit and sneaks onto a train in order to visit his critically ill mother. Written with deep emotion and writing talent, The Accusation is a vivid depiction of life in a closed-off one-party state, and also a hopeful testament to the humanity and rich internal life that persists even in such inhumane conditions. Critic Reviews: "The Accusation continues to make international history as the first literary work smuggled out of repressive North Korea...As Bandi's characters both fear and sling accusations, the title takes on piercing gravitas for readers."

Critic Reviews: "All but one of the stories takes place in or around 1811, and Clarke uses the language, diction, and historical settings beautifully, just hinting at Jane Austen. Each character is elegantly drawn and comes to life....These stories are charming, engaging, and deceptively simple." (Booklist)

Critic Reviews: "These unabridged selections...are read by Jason Culp, who swings easily into frontier talk without ever sounding like he's mocking it....Listening, one marvels at how L'Amour can produce so many characters who have the same broad shoulders, slim hips, and justice-loving approach to life, and yet remain believable, engaging, and unique. Culp's narration, for which he creates different voices for the various main characters, helps with this feat, allowing us a taste of the untamed, and sometimes violent, West." (AudioFile)

Title: Homicide Trinity Author: Rex Stout Narrator: Michael Prichard Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 59 mins Language: English Release date: 03-30-07 Publisher: Books on Tape Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 223 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: The orchid-growing gourmet Nero Wolfe and his confidential assistant, Archie Goodwin, dine on a three-course feast of murder. The menu in the first case is a double helping of lethal instruments. In the second, an embarrassing situation develops when Wolfe's own soup-stained tie becomes a deadly weapon. Finally, Rex Stout proves that one can indeed have too much money, when a healthy serving of greenbacks and a ham actor lead Archie to an unpleasant discovery: a poor dead soul who may or may not have gotten his just desserts. Stout fellow: listen to all of our mysteries, including classic radio programs! ©1962 Rex Stout; (P)1997 Books on Tape Inc. Critic Reviews: "It's always a treat to read a Nero Wolfe mystery. The man has entered our folklore." (The New York Times) "What's not to like about a Nero Wolfe mystery? The mysteries are short, cleverly plotted, well paced, and, if you're an audiobook listener, wonderfully read by Michael Prichard....Prichard has read nearly 20 books in Stout's series and has mastered Wolfe's deep, meditative voice and Archie's spry, chipper voice, as well as those of a host of other characters we recognize from one recording to the next."

Title: Trigger Warning Subtitle: Short Fictions and Disturbances Author: Neil Gaiman Narrator: Neil Gaiman Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 1 min Language: English Release date: 02-03-15 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2961 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: Neil Gaiman returns to dazzle, captivate, haunt, and entertain with this third collection of short fiction following Smoke and Mirrors and Fragile Things--which includes a never-before-published American Gods story, "Black Dog", written exclusively for this volume. In this new anthology, Neil Gaiman pierces the veil of reality to reveal the enigmatic, shadowy world that lies beneath. Trigger Warning includes previously published pieces of short fiction--stories, verse, and a very special Doctor Who story that was written for the fiftieth anniversary of the beloved series in 2013--as well as "Black Dog", a new tale that revisits the world of American Gods, exclusive to this collection. Trigger Warning explores the masks we all wear and the people we are beneath them to reveal our vulnerabilities and our truest selves. Here is a rich cornucopia of horror and ghost stories, science fiction and fairy tales, fabulism and poetry that explore the realm of experience and emotion. In "Adventure Story"--a thematic companion to The Ocean at the End of the Lane--Gaiman ponders death and the way people take their stories with them when they die. His social media experience "A Calendar of Tales" are short takes inspired by replies to fan tweets about the months of the year--stories of pirates and the March winds, an igloo made of books, and a Mother's Day card that portends disturbances in the universe. Gaiman offers his own ingenious spin on Sherlock Holmes in his award-nominated mystery tale "The Case of Death and Honey". And "Click-Clack the Rattlebag" explains the creaks and clatter we hear when we're all alone in the darkness. Full of wonder and terror, surprises and amusements, Trigger Warning is a treasury of delights that engage the mind, stir the heart, and shake the soul from one of the most unique and popular literary artists of our day. Critic Reviews: "Not every author is also a talented narrator, but Neil Gaiman is succeeding at mastering the art. It's a pleasure to listen to him deliver his new collection of short stories. He's clearly enjoying himself, and listeners will be carried along with his good cheer." (AudioFile)

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 113 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: "There's no way not to suffer. But you try all kinds of ways to keep from drowning in it." The men and women in these eight short fictions grasp this truth on an elemental level, and their stories, as told by James Baldwin, detail the ingenious and often desperate ways in which they try to keep their heads above water. It may be the heroin that a down-and-out jazz pianist uses to face the terror of pouring his life into an inanimate instrument. It may be the brittle piety of a father who can never forgive his son for his illegitimacy. Or it may be the screen of bigotry that a redneck deputy has raised to blunt the awful childhood memory of the day his parents took him to watch a black man being murdered by a gleeful mob.

An artificial oasis of pleasure, spectacle, and entertainment, the gambling capital of America has reinvented itself so many times that it's doubtful that anyone knows for sure what's real and what isn't in the miles of neon and scorching heat. Las Vegas is considered the ultimate player's destination, no matter what your game. Almost anything is available - for a price, mind you - and sometimes losers will walk away from the tables with even less than just an empty wallet or purse; sometimes they don't walk away at all. Las Vegas is the true city that never sleeps, where fortunes are made and lost every day, and where snake-eyes aren't found just on a pair of dice. Contributors include James Swain, S. Z.

Title: Gingerbread Cookie Murder Author: Joanne Fluke, Laura Levine, Leslie Meier Narrator: Suzanne Toren Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 24 mins Language: English Release date: 09-28-10 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 169 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: In this batch of sweet, short murder mysteries, three cooks dont spoil the broth. New York Times best-selling author Joanne Fluke pens the title story, in which a box of Hannah Swensens gingerbread cookies is found near the corpse of her neighbor. Popular co-authors Laura Levine and Leslie Meier offer The Dangers of Gingerbread Cookies and Gingerbread Cookies and Gunshots, respectively. Together, these three cozies will entertain listeners while compelling them to think twice about a cherished holiday treat. Critic Reviews: "Fluke, Levine, and Meier each offer a yuletide whodunit treat.... In Fluke's wry "Gingerbread Cookie Murder," Hannah Swensen of the Cookie Jar in Lake Eden, Minn., wants her neighbor Ernie Kusak to simply lower the volume on his too loud Christmas outdoor display, but she soon discovers Ernie with his head bashed in. In Levine's hilarious "The Dangers of Gingerbread Cookies," Jaine Austen's holiday stay at her parents' home in the Tampa Vistas retirement community is enlivened by the murder of elderly lothario Dr. Preston McCay, whose neck gets broken during his star turn in an amateur play called The Gingerbread Cookie That Saved Christmas. Rounding out the volume is Meier's less cheery but poignant "Gingerbread Cookies and Gunshots," about Maine reporter Lucy Stone's investigation of a four-year-old boy's disappearance."

Auguste Dupin, investigator extraordinaire, was the remarkable creation of Edgar Allan Poe. Written in the 1840s, Poe presented the acutely observant, shrewd but idiosyncratic character who, with his chronicler, provided the inspiration for the more famous Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson.The Dupin Stories include the following: Editorial Reviews: Edgar Allan Poe is commonly recognized as a master of horror, but "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" represents another genre in which he excelled - in fact, it is commonly recognized as the first-ever modern detective story. This thrilling, chilling tale follows investigator C. Auguste Dupin as he inquires into the double murder of a woman and her daughter, parsing clues including an unidentifiable non-human hair discovered at the scene. Kerry Shales performance of this adrenaline-pumping whodunit is well paced, his enunciation clear and his delivery even and eerie.

Si sentono gli odori e si percepiscono gli sguardi. Con poche pennellate evoca i personaggi in un modo talmente vivo da renderli realmente presenti. Con pochi tratti ce li fa conoscere nella loro intimità e con le loro piccole debolezze così umane. Ma sempre con uno sguardo insieme ironico e affettuoso. Ed è per questo che finiamo per amarli: ci sembra di conoscerli, di aver fatto con loro un tratto di strada. I racconti raccolti in questo audiolibro ci restituiscono al meglio l'affabulatore Camilleri. Tra i più intimi, autobiografici e sentiti del romanziere siciliano, questi racconti fulminanti ci riservano una sorpresa in più, perché i personaggi evocati si chiamano Leonardo Sciascia e Luigi Pirandello, Eduardo De Filippo e Renato Rascel, Jean Genet e Samuel Beckett, George Patton. Ed è così che Camilleri ci porta per mano dentro storie vere, che appartengono alla sua vita e alla sua memoria, e che finalmente vedono la luce. L'avvento del fascismo e lo sbarco degli Alleati, il separatismo e la mafia, le amicizie e la famiglia, gli incontri con i grandi maestri e, su tutto, lei: l'amata Sicilia. Raccolti da Francesco Anzalone e Giorgio Santelli.
