Sinopse

Time Wasters are short adventures based on true stories. They're all titled Super Short Preludes because they are just that: super short stories that lead up to big life concepts or events.
 
Designed to help pass short spouts of time, most of the Time Wasters stories range from 8 to 15 pages. Each mini-book in the series actually contains an entire story that will draw you in, make you laugh, and then allow you to move on with your life.
 
If you want to read, but don't have the time or are in no mood to commit to a novel, then a Time Waster is just what you need.
 
Love or Low Places: Dana is young, wild and free - until her entire world is turned upside down by a man she meets at karaoke night. Is there really such thing as love at first sight? You be the judge.
 
Sabotage by Hook and Dog: Dani convinces her husband, brother-in-law and friend to go on a fishing adventure, only to have a disastrous turn of events completely take over.
 
Trampling Beast: While spending time on her cousin's farm, Diedra finds herself making an effort to help guide an escaping animal back to its rightful place... until things take a turn for the worse.

    Title: The Secret of the Tomb 
    Author: Robert Bloch 
    Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
    Original Publication: 1935 
    Public Domain: Yes 
    Series: Timeless Terrors 
    Number: 113 
    Description: 
    The Secret of the Tomb is a dark tale of obsession, ancestral legacy, and creeping supernatural dread. 
    The story follows a young man who becomes fixated on the history of his family estate and the mysterious tomb that lies upon the grounds. As he delves deeper into the past, he uncovers disturbing revelations tied to his lineage — secrets long buried but not entirely dormant. What begins as curiosity slowly transforms into psychological unease, as strange impulses and uncanny experiences blur the line between inherited madness and something far more sinister. 
    With mounting tension and a suffocating atmosphere, Robert Bloch crafts a narrative steeped in Gothic horror and cosmic suggestion. Beneath the surface lies a meditation on identity, destiny, and the inescapable pull of blood and heritage. 
    Narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance captures the mounting dread and claustrophobic intensity of Bloch’s early weird fiction.

    Dead birds fall from the sky, an octopus lies stranded on a beach, and a lost shoe becomes a public shrine ... Untethered, Philippa Holloway's first collection of short stories, provides an unflinching glimpse of daily life interrupted by unexpected events. Small intrusions into familiar spaces reveal nothing is as it seems. Sometimes it demands a change of viewpoint, sometimes a cutting loose to find freedom.
    
    From conflicted parental expectations to unwanted visitors, from discovering tiny human teeth in the garden to a brief encounter with a murderer over the kitchen table, these precise, realist tales scrutinise families and lovers, colleagues and strangers with a keen emotional depth and sharp observation. Each one is a vivid snapshot exposing the fragile ties that hold people together.
    
    Here we see how pigeons become terrible portents, dining tables become autopsy benches and confessionals, and a family is forced out of their home with just minutes to pack.

    Suspended in mid-air high above the planet, the stratoship Perseus should still be moving—but it isn’t. Meteorologist Lawton and his crew find themselves trapped in a silent, motionless bubble of sky, where the clouds have frozen beneath them and the air outside has become a strange, alien theatre. Inside the ship, tensions mount, minds unravel, and something unseen creeps across the outer hull in creeping tendrils of life. 
    In this golden-age thriller from Frank Belknap Long, the fight isn’t just for survival against a terrifying alien vegetation; it’s a battle of human instincts, fragile alliances and the terror of staring into the unknown. As hours stretch into endless moments, Lawton must face what it means to live when the world won’t move—and what it means to stay sane when reality itself begins to shift. 
    With a haunting narration by Phil Thompson, this edition immerses you in a high-altitude nightmare where the sky becomes a trap, and the only escape may lie deep inside the human heart.
