In Rodney Stone, Arthur Conan Doyle brings together Regency society, Gothic mystery, and the brutal world of bare-knuckle boxing. The titular hero and his friend "Boy Jim" navigate haunted mansions, high society scandals, and brutal fight rings in a tale bursting with atmosphere and intrigue. It's a dramatic, often dark coming-of-age journey through the contrasts of Georgian England.

    ''With a group of heroes gradually growing around him, Dash returns to the Forest Realm, treading in the ancient footpaths of those who came before, and many truths are at last revealed. The Three are something built into reality itself, a naturally occurring cosmic phenomenon, and their destiny takes priority over all other things. The Brain intends to destroy both good and evil, but countless of its unknowing instruments fill the universe. It is unclear what fate would befall all those associated with good and evil should the Brain succeed. It could mean the destruction of all intelligent life in the cosmos. To protect the people of Deluuvius, Dash and his friends choose to oppose the unknown by physically imprisoning the Three. But doubt within the group begins to grow as the cosmic drama unfolds.'' (This fully-voiced audio-drama has unique music, sound effects, and even a different voice for each character)

    At first, the sound was subtle. A low, almost imperceptible tapping just on the edge of hearing, and yet, from the moment I heard it, the sound conjured that phrase: ‘The patter of tiny feet.’I had always hated that expression, ‘the patter of tiny feet.’ Even as a child, the words had sent a chill through me. I knew, of course, what they were supposed to mean, the joy of offspring, the sound of children in some other room or just out of view, playing merrily and creating said patter with their mischievous stumbling back and forth. In that context, it was a lovely phrase. An idiom that made others think of proud mothers seated downstairs as infants somewhere on the landing above giggled and ran between rooms. But that was for others...

    The story, set in an unnamed Italian city at carnival time, is about a man taking fatal revenge on a friend who, he believes, has insulted him. Like several of Poe's stories, and in keeping with the 19th-century fascination with the subject, the narrative follows a person being buried alive – in this case, by immurement. As in "The Black Cat" and "The Tell-Tale Heart", Poe conveys the story from the murderer's perspective.

    Nebula-award winning author Mike Conner presents a novel about a world that all of us can recognize, a world of what might have been. In Minneapolis in the 1930’s, the deadly plague that ended the First World War is decimating the population. The only people who seem to be immune to its effects are black people. What does this mean for the future of the city—and of the nation? Young newsman Danny Constantine finds that not everyone is dying from the plague. He has discovered a series of bizarre deaths—murders that look like the work of a vampire. In these times of bad news, his own paper refuses to print the story and Danny must search for the truth on his own, except for a mysterious woman known only as archangel, who always seems to appear when needed most.
