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: 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: 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: Some Fun Author: Antonya Nelson Narrator: Eileen Stevens, Veronica Taylor, Nancy Wu Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 9 mins Language: English Release date: 12-22-09 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: One of the most award-winning, critically-acclaimed story writers working today, Antonya Nelson has a list of accolades that is astonishing for any writer, but especially for one as young as she. With her newest collection, Nelson once again proves herself worthy of her stellar reputation, delivering seven taut, striking stories and a brilliant novella, all exploring the tensions of troubled family relations. Nelson is an extraordinary chronicler of the fraught relationships between parents and children and husbands and wives. With her particular understanding of the threats and vulnerabilities of wild adolescence, as well as the complicated, persistent love that often lies dormant beneath the drama of rebellion, she illuminates the hidden corners of her characters' lives. The shy, shoplifting 16-year-old protagonist in the title novella is trying to understand how to become an adult while going through a year of family disaster. We watch as she dabbles in the same adult behaviors that so repulse her about her parents (binge drinking, sex) while maintaining so much of her adolescent insecurity and confusion. "Dick" is a moving story about a mother who, having lost her daughter to the vicissitudes of adolescence, has a compulsion to protect her innocent, preadolescent son from the aggressive and encroaching post-9/11 adult world. The homeless teen at the heart of "Eminent Domain" is a pampered Houston rich girl who has, for her own reasons, taken to the streets. Radiating an emotional intensity that unifies the entire collection, each of Nelson's stories both captivates and unnerves. As her characters run the gauntlet of often bewildering family tensions and trauma, she alternates hope and despair, resentment and love, in perfectly recognizable proportions.

Mallery Narrator: Suzie Althens Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 2 mins Language: English Release date: 08-08-14 Publisher: Sarah Mallery Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 12 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: The 11 long short stories in Sewing Can Be Dangerous and Other Small Threads combine history, mystery, action, and/or romance, and range from drug trafficking using Guatemalan hand-woven wallets, to an Antebellum U.

Title: Tehran Noir Author: Salar Abdoh (editor and translator) Narrator: Lameece Issaq, Fajer Al-Kaisi, Peter Ganim Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 43 mins Language: English Release date: 12-17-14 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 9 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: Launched with the summer '04 award-winning best seller Brooklyn Noir, Akashic Books continues its groundbreaking series of original noir anthologies. 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)

Title: Zadig Author: Voltaire Narrator: Walter Covell Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 38 mins Language: English Release date: 04-19-10 Publisher: Jimcin Recordings Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 46 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: In the tradition of his very popular Candide, Zadig is what might be called a "philosophical tale". Zadig, a handsome young man with a fine education, is puzzled by the uncertainties of his destiny. He attains great success in government but is unsuccessful in love. Despite his wisdom and shrewdness, he meets with a number of misfortunes. The central question of the story is, "Why do bad things happen to good people?" Editorial Reviews: Few can use a work of fiction to satirize and dissect the social and political customs as efficiently as Voltaire. After Candide, Zadig is perhaps one of Voltaire's most celebrated works. Performed here by the smooth and authoritative Walter Covell, this is the story of a young man who, by most accounts, is a success. However, for reasons unknown to him, he is met with a streak of misfortunes. Listeners are sure to enjoy Voltaire's philosophical examination of the idea of destiny in this production of Zadig.

Title: Dubliners (Tantor Edition) Author: James Joyce Narrator: Gerard Doyle Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 14 mins Language: English Release date: 06-14-11 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 37 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: Dubliners is a collection of short stories by James Joyce that was first published in 1914. The 15 stories were meant to be a naturalistic depiction of the Irish middle-class life in and around Dublin in the early years of the 20th century. The stories were written at a time when Irish nationalism was at its peak and a search for a national identity and purpose was raging; at a crossroads of history and culture, Ireland was jolted by various converging ideas and influences. They center on Joyce's idea of an epiphany: a moment where a character has a special moment of self-understanding or illumination. The initial stories in the collection are narrated by children as protagonists, and as the stories continue, they deal with the lives and concerns of progressively older people. This is in line with Joyce's tripartite division of the collection into childhood, adolescence, and maturity. The stories contained in Dubliners are "The Sisters," "An Encounter," "Araby," "Eveline," "After the Race," "Two Gallants," "The Boarding House," "A Little Cloud," "Counterparts," "Clay," "A Painful Case," "Ivy Day in the Committee Room," "A Mother," "Grace," and "The Dead."

Title: Law of the Desert Author: Louis L'Amour Narrator: Stefan Rudnicki Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 22 mins Language: English Release date: 08-22-14 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 17 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: No one tells tales of the frontier better than Louis L'Amour, who portrays the human side of westward expansion - the good and the bad - before the days of law and order. Collected here are seven stories penned by America's favorite Western author. "The Black Rock Coffin Maker" Two men in the isolated town of Tucker want the XY ranch: Jim Walker and the ruthless Wing Cary - and one of them wants it badly enough to kill for it. It is a tale of suspense and danger, with chases, posses, shootouts, and double-crosses - all for possession of the XY ranch. "Grub Line Rider" KimSartain is an easygoing, peace-loving drifter. But when cattleman Jim Targ challenges Sartain's right to ride across an unclaimed stretch of meadow, Sartain retaliates by deciding to homestead there. Soon, more is at risk than land and pride, when Targ decides to teach Sartain a permanent - and deadly - lesson. "Desert Death Song" Nat Bodine had a choice: to die by hanging or take his chances in the desert. But when a good woman believes in a man, he finds the will to survive. "One Last Gun Notch" Morgan Clyde was driven off his small ranch by a hired gunman. He worked odd jobs but soon found himself being hired to use his gun. Now, he's working for a land hog in Red Basin who wants him to drive off a young homesteader and his wife. The scenario is too familiar, and Clyde finds that he must make a decision. "Ride, You Tonto Raiders" Matt Sabre is a young gunfighter who shoots a man who forced him to draw. To his surprise, the man on his deathbed gives him $5,000 and begs him to take the money to his wife, who is alone defending the family ranch. Guilt, regret, and wanting to do the right thing lead Matt Sabre to make that ride. "War Party" A boy on the brink of manhood, a resourceful frontier woman who has beauty as well as fortitude, and a strong male character come together in this powerful, romantic, and strangely compelling vision of the American West. "Law of the Desert" Shad Marone is a lone gunman on the run from the law. He shot a man in a fair fight; but the sheriff is his bitter enemy, and Shad knows he'll never get a fair trial. He is being tracked by a man named Lopez, and after three days in the desert it looks like they'll both die of thirst - unless, of course, some miracle happens.

When is it wise to be a fool for something? What makes people want to be better than they are? From New York to India to Paris, from the Catholic Worker movement to Occupy Wall Street, the characters in Joan Silber's dazzling new story cycle tackle this question head-on. Vera, the shy, anarchist daughter of missionary parents, leaves her family for love and activism in New York. A generation later, her own doubting daughter insists on the truth of being of two minds, even in marriage. The adulterous son of a Florida hotel owner steals money from his family and departs for Paris, where he takes up with a young woman and finds himself outsmarted in turn. Fools ponders the circle of winners and losers, dupers and duped, and the price we pay for our beliefs. Fools is a luminous, intelligent, and rewarding work of fiction from the author for whom the Boston Globe said, "No other writer can make a few small decisions ripple across the globe, and across time, with more subtlety and power."

Rushdie allows himself, like his characters, to be pulled now in one direction, then in another.

Title: Miss Lucy Parker and Other Short Stories Author: Q. Kelly Narrator: Wendy Tremont King Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 54 mins Language: English Release date: 11-07-13 Publisher: Ride the Rainbow Books Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: Seven short stories are in this compilation. The lead story is: "Miss Lucy Parker" Miss Lucy Parker is a prim, proper elderly lady. When a Volkswagen Beetle - the new kind, and pink - PINK! - turns onto the winding road that leads to Lucy's farmhouse, Lucy is sure the car's occupants are lost. And that the car probably contains hippies, because hippies drive Volkswagen Beetles. Lucy plans to tell the hippies to get lost. She has no need for their odd speech, beads and marijuana aroma. Except hippies are not in the car. A woman is, a woman wearing a short, blood-red dress that hugs her body. Thus begins Lucy Parker's great adventure. "A Weird Situation" Karen does not believe her boyfriend when he tells her that he turns into a woman for seven hours every day. "The Interview" The person interviewing Debby has a giant booger. Should she tell him and risk not getting the job? "First Day at Work" A security guard's first day at a bank has repercussions for him and three workers. "Every Day" A man struggles every day to follow through on a promise to himself. "The Doctor" A doctor salivates at the prospect of delivering bad news to a twelve-year-old girl and her mother.

Title: The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes, Volume II Author: Arthur Conan Doyle Narrator: David Timson Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 17 mins Language: English Release date: 09-20-11 Publisher: Naxos AudioBooks Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 23 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: In the last six stories written by Conan Doyle featuring Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson, the duo face some of their most challenging cases. In "The Adventure of the Illustrious Client", Holmes puts his own life in danger as he tries to cut short a young girls infatuation with the notorious wife-murderer Baron Gruner. Why is Mrs. Maberley offered a handsome price for the Three Gables, provided she leaves at once and takes nothing with her? Even in his retirement, Holmess skills are called upon, as he follows a trail of death on the Sussex coast in "The Adventure of the Lions Mane". Editorial Reviews: Sherlockians regard The Casebook with mixed feelings, being the last and probably the least of Conan Doyle's Holmes efforts. David Timson, however, excels in these respectful narrations and more than compensates for the lesser material. He goes beyond voicing words clearly; he savors the language and gives attention to every phrase. The subtle use of music to mark setting changes is also effective. The collection concludes with a bonus story written and read by Timson ("The Wondrous Toy") on Holmes's encounter with the new gramophone and, by implication, the birth of the audiobook era.
