    Jesse McDermitt is finally ready to retire. But life has other plans. While diving on a remote reef deep in the backcountry of the Florida Keys with his wife, son and two friends, he discovers of all things, a car. 
    Not just any car, but a 1928 Duesenberg Model J, the most powerful and stylish automobile of its time. The car was once owned by a Saudi prince who was attempting to develop Johnston Key in the heart of Turkey Basin before Henry Flagler even finished the rail line to Key West. 
    But that’s not all Jesse discovers and what he finds next will make him the target of one of his own. He’s been mentoring a young operative who then decides to go rogue and now it’s up to Jesse to find the man and, if need be, eliminate him before he can hurt anyone else.

    From award-winning novelist and cultural critic Lynne Tillman, Thrilled to Death is a collection of selected stories across the career of America's most audacious writer 
     
     
     
    Among the vanguard of American literary writers, Lynne Tillman's work has defied categorization throughout her legendary career—a singular body of work that both redefined and reimagined the short story form entirely. 
     
     
     
    Curated by the author, Thrilled to Death is the definitive entry point for both established fans and new readers alike. These selected stories collect a bold, playful, and eclectic ensemble of Tillman's Borgesian fictions that span decades and traverse themes of sex, death, memory, and anxiety. 
     
     
     
    With argumentative wit, Tillman's meditations and reflections on art, politics, and culture are animated by deliciously paradoxical characters who desire and fret in turn, and who are imbued with searing intelligence and dolorous ambivalence. Describing Tillman's writing, Colm Tóibín says: "Her style has both tone and undertone; it attempts to register the impossibility of saying very much, but it insists on the right to say a little. So what is essential is the voice itself, its ways of knowing and unknowing."

    Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
     
    In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
     
    The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
     
    Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something.

    H.G. Wells is widely regarded as one of the most imaginative and visionary writers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Best known for his groundbreaking science fiction novels like The War of the Worlds and The Time Machine, Wells was also a prolific short story writer, producing a diverse body of work that explored many of the same themes as his longer novels: the wonders and perils of scientific progress, the mysteries of the human mind, and the complex relationship between society and the individual. 
    Wells’ short stories, though perhaps less celebrated than his novels, serve as a window into his vast intellectual curiosity and creative range. These stories often play with speculative ideas in compact, inventive ways, offering a glimpse of his talent for combining narrative flair with philosophical inquiry. In these pages, the reader will find tales of strange inventions, eerie encounters, and dystopian visions, all of which reflect Wells’ keen interest in the future of humanity and the ethical dilemmas that arise with technological advancement. 
    Head Stories Audio presents their second selection of Short Stories by H.G Wells, narrated by Simon Hester. With original music.
