Title: Dressing Up for the Carnival Subtitle: A Collection of Stories Author: Carol Shields Narrator: Gabrielle deCuir, Jean Smart, Stephanie Beacham, Janet Fontaine, Judith Cummings, Amanda Karr, Karessa McElheny, Stefan Rudnicki Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 23 mins Language: English Release date: 09-08-17 Publisher: Phoenix Books Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: Carol Shields has a knack for turning the ordinary into the extraordinary and nowhere more than in this luminous collection, which distills all her elegance, wisdom, and humor into short stories that are more like concise novels. Throughout these stories runs Shields' preoccupation with identity - as in the title story, a compacted day in the life of the world, in which a procession of characters try on new selves. Yet these stories and their quiet epiphanies reflect all the contrasts of human existence...from the bittersweet sexuality of "Eros" to the wicked skewering of pompous academic conversation in "The Next Best Kiss". Playful, graceful, acute yet tender, Dressing Up for the Carnival is Carol Shields at her most accomplished and appealing.

Title: Sing Me Your Scars Subtitle: Apex Voices, Volume 3 Author: Damien Angelica Walters Narrator: William Turbett Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 45 mins Language: English Release date: 07-24-17 Publisher: Beacon Audiobooks Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: In her first collection of short fiction, Damien Angelica Walters weaves her lyrical voice through suffering and sorrow, teasing out the truth and discovering hope. Sometimes, a thread pulled through the flesh is all that holds you together. Sometimes, the blade of a knife or the point of a nail is the only way you know you're real. When pain becomes art and a quarter is buried deep within you, all you want is to be seen, to have value, to be loved. But love can be fragile, folded into an origami elephant while you disappear, carried on the musical notes that build a bridge, or woven into an illusion so real, so perfect that you can fool yourself for a little while. Paper crumples, bridges fall, and illusions come to an end. Then you must pick up the pieces, stitch yourself back together, and shed your fear, because that is when you find out what you are truly made of and lift your voice; that is when you Sing Me Your Scars.

Title: Cattle Brands Subtitle: A Collection of Western Camp-Fire Stories, Volume 1 Author: Andy Adams Narrator: John Burlinson Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 3 mins Language: English Release date: 10-11-16 Publisher: Spoken Realms Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: Andy Adams is one of the few writers of the American West who had knowledge based on experience that enabled him to record cowboy life authentically. In the early 1880s, at the age of 20, Adams traveled to Texas and remained there for 10 years, eight of which he spent trail driving, becoming a foreman before he left the trail in 1890. Because he knew the real West, he was able to write with remarkable legitimacy - a quality he maintained without compromise, making him an honest interpreter of Western culture. Cattle Brands is a collection of 14 entertaining tales filled with action, adventure, and the sometimes raw humor characteristic of cowboy life. Volume one consists of two of the best: "Drifting North", a collection of anecdotes about frontier justice and injustice; and "A Question of Possession", in which a Texas sheriff learns the hard way about how not to enforce a court order.

TT1: Twenty-two year old Faren Mitchell hears the two words that change her abbreviated life forever. They're so final Faren decides she has nothing to lose by seizing every remaining moment of what life has to offer. Until Faren collides with a motorcycle ridden by billionaire Jared McKenna. Even the dark secret of her past and catharsis as a physical therapist can't save Faren from the sexual spiral that waits for her in the arms of a man who commits to no one. When circumstances force her to get a second job as an exotic dancer, Faren never imagines how close that choice will bring her to the brink of a new reality she is unequipped to handle. TT2: Faren Mitchell keeps the secret of her second job from the one man who could see her through some of the darkest moments of her life. She doesn't want Jared "Mick" McKenna for the billions he's amassed, but for the one thing she's never given any man: her innocence. Mick's guilt over the injury he inflicted fuels the beginnings of something more; a sexual consumption of each other that neither were anticipating. When Faren's actions don't match her words, Mick suspicions are raised. His feelings turn to ones of protection after Faren is mugged and he can't reconcile his desire for her with the reality they now find themselves in. As Faren's bucket list grows, so does the danger that surrounds the choices she's made. Can she take what she needs from Mick and also secure her mother's life? Or will the truth she has weaved between the lies doom them both? TT3: Faren collapses, narrowly escaping discovery upon hearing traumatic news delivered by Thorn. When Thorn becomes her uneasy accomplice in the deception of Mick, Faren decides she needs to come clean with the truth. Shelving her pride might be the last thing she wants to do, but as facts and actions continue to contradict one another, her hands become tied in the lies she creates to survive. Faren only needs one last lap dance to erase the final debt that hangs over her mother's head like a cloud of doom. But when Ronnie Bunce circles closer to Faren and threatens the last sanctuary she possesses, circumstances unravel to reveal lies that run deeper than she knew. Can Faren and Mick consummate their passion before her deceit is discovered? Or will the last dance be the ultimate loss?

The first is a story about an entertainer who lived in a time when the best shows were on stage. Follow his life up to its very end. But is it really his life or someone else's? You will have to listen to find out. Next is the story of the first manned space exploration. However, it is not by choice. The world as everyone knows it has been shut down. The military cannot operate without their equipment, which is all run by computers. Cell phones are of no use, neither are laptops, nor even the new automobiles of the day. Someone has completely wiped out our way of life. So what can be done? The Future project was a spacecraft designed for one purpose: to live and explore the furthest reaches of space. However, recent events have completely changed the mission. Now, time is running out and an army of unknown origin has invaded America. They wear no known uniforms. They do not speak - or even communicate. They simply destroy any- and everything they come in contact with. The Future spacecraft is held up, waiting on the president of the United States to board and try to preserve some of our nation's government until something can be done about the intruders. On their way to The Future spacecraft, the president of the United States is rescued from certain death by a team of soldiers training in the desert and led by Sargent Richard Kind, a tough, no-nonsense marine. His life was turned upside down when the first invasion took place, so now he trains men and woman to fight this unknown threat. Aboard The Future, those heading for space, including the president and Sargent Kind, discover there is more to the attack than anyone was willing to believe.

Henry, Stephen Crane, Ambrose Bierce, Jack London, James Fenimore Cooper, Kate Chopin, Mark Twain Narrator: William Roberts, Garrick Hagon, Liza Ross Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 9 mins Language: English Release date: 03-02-16 Publisher: Naxos AudioBooks Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: Represented here are 16 short stories by seven great American writers, dating from the 19th and 20th centuries. Different in atmosphere and writing style, they nevertheless caught the mood and concerns of the day in a way that was distinctly American. Kate Chopin's "Regret" is a reflective moment in the life of a woman without children who is forced to look after children; Bierce's "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" leaves echoes in the imagination; the stories by Crane and London recall the themes of the Civil War and the Klondike, for which they are well known. Twain's humor is to the fore in "The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County", and O. Henry's sharp observation makes his neat tales a joy to listen to. There is even an elegiac description of an eclipse by James Fenimore Cooper, author of The Last of the Mohicans. Read with sensitivity and skill by Garrick Hagon, Liza Ross, and William Roberts.

Who has it. Who doesn't. How you get it. How you don't. Bender uses this very powerful force to pull together a unified collection of stories that deeply explore the ways in which money and the subsequent estimation of value affect the lives of her characters. The stories in Refund reflect our contemporary world - swindlers, reality show creators, desperate artists, siblings, parents - who struggle to figure out how to obtain money, how to give it, earn it, lose it, all the while trying to answer the question: What is the real definition of worth? Critic Reviews: "Bender's short stories were shortlisted for the National Book Award and brilliantly weave money, economics, education, emotion, and fear into each distinct tale." (Washington Review of Books) "The author's sharp observations and fine, crisp writing keep these stories crackling with energy and wit, while they excavate the buried secrets of 21st century America." (Miami Herald) "Refund meets the challenge of the short-story writer to create a vivid, believable world in which compelling characters pull the reader up and over a taut narrative arc, all within the space of a few pages. Taken separately, each of the Refund stories is an impeccably constructed miniature, a ship in a bottle that makes the reader wonder how the author got all that detail, all that craft, into such a small container. Taken as a whole, the collection is a 13-stop journey into some richly imagined worlds." (LA Times)

Twenty-three-year-old Lillian Jones can't seem to stay employed; she always lets her temper get the best of her. Her life is a mess; her debts are piling up, she's about to be evicted, and she's desperate for a job. Then she gets one last chance: a job as a personal assistant for sexy billionaire Trent Blackwell. Her independent spirit recoils at the idea of working for such a demanding, controlling man, but something inside of her melts at his command. She promises herself that she'll do everything she can to hold on to this job, no matter what. After his father's death, Trent Blackwell finds himself in charge of Blackwell Enterprises at the age of 32. A man of confidence, he gets what he wants, when he wants it. And the second Lillian told him off during her interview, he knew he wanted her. He's determined to take her in hand and teach her some respect, and he knows that's what she secretly craves. As he brings her to a new level of sexuality, they dive into a world of temptation, desire, and broken boundaries. But a scheming ex and some suspicious activity within the company mean that Trent and Lillian will need to work together if they are to save the company, as well as their lives.

Title: Gaza Writes Back Subtitle: Short Stories from Young Writers in Gaza, Palestine Author: Refaat Alareer Narrator: Amin El Gamal, Lameece Issaq Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 50 mins Language: English Release date: 10-20-15 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: Gaza Writes Back: Short Stories from Young Writers in Gaza, Palestine, edited by Refaat Alareer, is a compelling collection of short stories from 15 young writers in Gaza, members of a generation that has suffered immensely under Israel's siege and blockade. Their experiences, especially during and following Israel's 2008-2009 offensive known as Operation Cast Lead, have fundamentally impacted their lives and their writing. Indeed, many of these writers saw the war as a catalyst for their writing, as they sought an outlet and a voice in its aftermath. They view the book as a means of preserving Palestinian memories and presenting their own narratives to the world without filters. Their words take us into the homes and hearts of moms, dads, students, children, and elders striving to live lives of dignity, compassion, and meaning in one of the world's most embattled communities. (Some of the stories also take us with courage and empathy into the imagined world of Israelis living just on the other side of the great barriers Israel has built in and around Gaza and the West Bank to wall the Palestinians in.) These stories are acts of resistance and defiance, proclaiming the endurance of Palestinians and the continuing resilience and creativity of their culture in the face of ongoing obstacles and attempts to silence them. Whether tackling the tragedy that surrounds missile strikes and home raids or the everyday indignities encountered by Palestinian refugees, Gaza Writes Back brings to life the real issues that the people of Gaza face. One prominent theme in many of the stories is the value placed on the wisdom of parents and grandparents. A sense of longing pervades the book, as the characters in the stories reveal desires ranging from the mundane to the complex - including, in several of the stories, a strong yearning to return to the characters' long-cherished family homes and properties after many decades in exile from them. Social differences within Gaza are also sensitively explored. A few stories are especially difficult - but critical - to digest due to the vividness with which they depict the experiences of victims of Israeli military strikes and confront the legacy of violence and occupation, particularly on young people.

Title: Escute Amor [Listen Love] Author: Affonso Romano de Sant'Anna Narrator: Marcos Damigo Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 31 mins Language: English Release date: 03-02-15 Publisher: Livro Falante Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: Nesta coletânea, Affonso Romano de Santanna nos fala sobre o amor em 26 crônicas. Mas, longe de tentar estabelecer teses, Affonso ora flerta com o amor, ora observa suas sutilezas; às vezes, admira sua simplicidade, outras vezes, deixa-se destroçar por sua tormenta. O amor, para Affonso, pode ser o amor da espera ou o amor infeliz, pode ser o amor infiel ou o da mulher madura; às vezes, está nas pequenas seduçes cotidianas; outras vezes, evidencia-se entre os homens de negócio; pode ser o melhor - ou o pior - amor.

Title: Lucky Alan Subtitle: And Other Stories Author: Jonathan Lethem Narrator: Mark Deakins, David Wain, Amy Landecker, Isaac Butler, Bruce Wagner Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 22 mins Language: English Release date: 02-24-15 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 2 of 5 out of 10 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: The incomparable Jonathan Lethem returns with nine brilliant stories that prove he is a master of the short form as well as the novel. Jonathan Lethem stretches new literary muscles in this scintillating new collection of stories. Some of these tales - such as "Pending Vegan", which wonderfully captures a parental ache and anguish during a family visit to an aquatic theme park - are, in Lethem's words, "obedient (at least outwardly) to realism." Others, like "The Dreaming Jaw, The Salivating Ear", which deftly and hilariously captures the solipsism of blog culture, feature "the uncanny and surreal elements that still sometimes erupt in my short stories." The tension between these two approaches, and the way they inform each other, increase the reader's surprise and delight as one realizes how cleverly Lethem is playing with form. Devoted fans of Lethem will recognize familiar themes and tropes - the anxiety of influence pushed to reduction ad absurdum in "The King of Sentences"; a hapless outsider trying to summon up bravado in "The Porn Critic"; characters from the comics stranded on a desert island; the necessity and the impossibility of action against authority in "Procedure in Plain Air". As always, Lethem's work, humor, and poignancy work in harmony; people strive desperately for connection through words and often misdirect deeds; and the sentences are glorious.

A vida brota das lembranças, do olhar pela estrada, de um dente que falta na boca, de uma cidade que enche a paisagem. A vida está na viagem, nos cheiros, na paisagem, no sonho e na expectativa. A gravaço no formato de áudio ficou a cargo do grupo Teatro da Travessia. Joo Anzanello Carrascoza, hoje reconhecido como importante escritor da nova geraço, professor da Universidade de So Paulo (USP) e da Escola Superior de Propaganda e Marketing (ESPM), foi ganhador do Prêmio Jabuti de 2007 na categoria contos e crônicas com o livro O Volume do Silêncio.

Ao pesquisar autores brasileiros, o grupo deparou-se com Joo Anzanello Carrascoza. Desse encontro nasceu a peça e agora o audiolivro Dias Raros. Para cada emoço, para cada sensaço, cheiro ou imagem, Carrascoza encontra as palavras exatas. À riqueza de sua escrita, o Teatro da Travessia somou um colorido de vozes, ora organizadas em jogral, ora reproduzindo personagens e ambientaçes humanas, como um coral que segue suas partituras para expressar plenamente a alma de sua obra.

O amor do ventríloquo se expressa pelas vozes dos seres inanimados. A vaca é transfigurada em fonte de alimento, de sonho, de desejo. Moacyr Scliar surpreende até quando se prope a ser simples, como a saída que encontra para vencer o estresse no conto Pausa, ou quando conta sem floreios o que faz um corretor de imóveis para vender um apartamento de cobertura. Sua matéria-prima é o que sabemos e o que no queremos saber da vida. Suas ferramentas so o insólito e o surpreendente. Ler Moacyr Scliar estimula a curiosidade, dá medo, faz rir, arrepia, chega a desafiar a inteireza do estômago, o ritmo da respiraço. Ao final, a arte se recompe, nos afeiçoamos à mais estranha das criaturas, acostumamos com os mais indigestos rituais, nos apaziguamos diante das cruezas humanas e aceitamos que Moacyr tinha razo: o ser humano é mesmo esquisito.

Title: Seattle Noir Author: Curt Colbert (editor) Narrator: Joe Barrett, Kevin Free, Jonathan Davis, Bronson Pinchot, David Ledoux, Kevin T. Collins, Farah Bala Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 58 mins Language: English Release date: 11-25-14 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 7 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: Launched by the summer '04 award-winning best-seller Brooklyn Noir, Akashic Books continues its groundbreaking series of original noir anthologies. Each book is comprised of all-new stories, each one set in a distinct neighborhood or location within the respective city. Brand-new stories by: G. M. Ford, Skye Moody, R. Barri Flowers, Thomas P. Hopp, Patricia Harrington, Bharti Kirchner, Kathleen Alcalá, Simon Wood, Brian Thornton, Lou Kemp, Curt Colbert, Robert Lopresti, Paul S. Piper, and Stephan Magcosta. Early Seattle was a hardscrabble seaport filled with merchant sailors, longshoremen, lumberjacks, rowdy saloons, and a rough-and-tumble police force not immune to corruption and graft. By the mid-50s, the town had added Boeing to its claim to fame, but was still a mostly blue-collar burg that was infamously described as "a cultural dustbin" by the Seattle Symphonys first conductor. Present-day Seattle has become a pricey, cosmopolitan center, home to Microsoft and Starbucks. The city is famous as the birthplace of grunge music, and possesses a flourishing art, theater, and club scene that many would have thought improbable just a few decades ago. But some things never change - crime being one of them. Seattle's evolution to high-finance and high-tech has simply provided even greater opportunity and reward to those who might be ethically, morally, or economically challenged (crooks, in other words). But most crooks are just ordinary people, not professional thieves or crime bosses - they might be your pleasant neighbor, your wife or lover, your grocer or hairdresser, your minister or banker or lifelong friend - yet even the most upright and honest of them sometimes fall to temptation. Within the stories of Seattle Noir, you will find: a wealthy couple whose marriage is filled with not-so-quiet desperation; a credit card scam that goes over-limit; femmes fatales and hommes fatales; a delicatessen owner whose case is less than kosher; a famous midget actor whose movie roles begin to shrink when he starts growing taller; an ex-cop who learns too much; a group of mystery writers whose fiction causes friction; a Native American shaman caught in a web of secrets and tribal allegiances; sex, lies, and slippery slopes.... and a cast of characters that always want more, not less.... unless.... The complete list of narrators includes Joe Barrett, Bronson Pinchot, Farah Bala, Carol Monda, Kevin T. Collins, Jonathan Davis, Scott Brick, Johnny Heller, David Ledoux, Kevin Free, William Dufris, and Ralph Lister.

Title: Boston Noir Author: Dennis Lehane (editor) Narrator: Karen White, Scott Aiello, Stephen Hoye, Jason Culp, Jeri Silverman, Suzanne Toren, Marc Vietor, Scott Brick Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 55 mins Language: English Release date: 11-25-14 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 12 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: Brand-new stories by: Dennis Lehane, Stewart O'Nan, Patricia Powell, John Dufresne, Lynne Heitman, Don Lee, Russ Aborn, Itabari Njeri, Jim Fusilli, Brendan DuBois, and Dana Cameron. Dennis Lehane (Mystic River, The Given Day) has proven himself to be a master of both crime fiction and literary fiction. Here, he extends his literary prowess to that of master curator. In keeping with the Akashic Noir series tradition, each story in Boston Noir is set in a different neighborhood of the city - the impressively diverse collection extends from Roxbury to Cambridge, from Southie to the Boston Harbor, and all stops in between. Lehane's own contribution - the longest story in the volume - is set in his beloved home neighborhood of Dorchester and showcases his phenomenal ability to grip the heart, soul, and throat of the reader. In 2003, Lehane's novel Mystic River was adapted into film and quickly garnered six Academy Award nominations (with Sean Penn and Tim Robbins each winning Academy Awards). The complete list of narrators includes Karen White, Scott Aiello, Stephen Hoye, Jason Culp, Jeri Silverman, Suzanne Toren, Marc Vietor, Scott Brick, Joe Barrett, Carington MacDuffie, and Erin Moon. Editorial Reviews: "Dennis Lehane advises us not to judge the genre by its Hollywood images of sharp men in fedoras lighting cigarettes for femmes fatales standing in the dark alleys.... [Lehane] writes persuasively of the gentrification that has.... left people feeling crushed." (New York Times Book Review)

Malcolm Garcia, Kevin Prufer, Linda Rodriguez, Nadia Pflaum, Phong Nguyen, Andres Rodriguez, and others. Kansas City: where East and West collide, where naked ambition meets broken dreams, where blues and the night go together like rye whiskey, vermouth, and bitters. Yes, Kansas City is a surprising place of grit, gore, and betrayal, at least in the imaginations of our diverse lineup of contributors. Kansas City Noir, another in Akashic's series of geographically specific anthologies, peels back the aura of civility and captures the raw truths of the human condition as lived in this heartland, third-coast city. Among the collection's contributors are Daniel Woodrell, author of the modern classic Winter's Bone and the recent, much lauded story collection, The Outlaw Album; Matthew Eck, author of the noted war novel The Farther Shore; veteran short-fiction writer Catherine Browder; Edgar Award-winning mystery novelists Nancy Pickard and John Lutz; and J. Malcolm Garcia, whose reporting from the war in Afghanistan informs a disturbing tale of restless angst and dislocation. Kansas City Noir takes a compelling tour of the streets of a vibrant American city, complete with accents of jazz, barbecue, and the deeply rooted blues.

I work at a low-paying job and have ho-hum missionary sex with my long-term boyfriend, who calls me "pear-shaped" (and not in a good way). I've never been with more than one man or explored myself sexually. That's for sexy, skinny girls. Girls with exciting lives. Girls I'm not. When a series of events send my life into a tailspin, I find myself at a mansion in the Hollywood Hills, locking eyes with a gorgeous, sexy stranger who sends my heart racing. Our first night together is one I'll never forget. Or the next. Shockingly, he wants to pay me lots of money just to have me as his personal sex goddess. Best of all, he's not the only one. Soon, I'm discovering my sexuality for the first time, caught up in the exciting, glamorous world of high-class escorting. I'm also discovering myself: the independent, sexy, confident woman I was meant to be. Trouble is, I can't give my body without giving my heart. I'm falling in love with more than one man, and they with me. I can't choose just one . . . Or can I? Set includes the following books:

From the cramped and gritty streets of New York City to the wide open spaces of the Old West, Hoagland's characters pine, ache, create, observe, love, learn, and live in such precisely rendered stories that we are transported into each of their peculiar worlds.
