  Frederick Ignatius Cowles was born in 1900 in Cambridge, England. 
  This unfamiliar name is one of the gems of English supernatural fiction as well as several other works of travelogues, history, folklore, and children's books.  
  When his supernatural short stories, and some are very short indeed, were first published they were compared to the works of M R James and EF Benson, yet unlike those two authors he fell, unfairly, into obscurity. 
  In all he wrote perhaps 60 short stories with weird and supernatural themes. 
  Frederick Cowles died in 1948 although some accounts offer that it was 1949.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. On the dying world of Zothique, King Euvoran's whole sovereignty rests on a single relic: the fabled gazolba bird, slain ages past and set in gold atop his crown. When a condemned sorcerer breathes unnatural life back into the creature and it soars away – crown and all – the proud monarch swears to chase it across the last seas of the world. So begins a voyage of wonders and grotesqueries, past cannibal isles and monstrous shores, where every marvel quietly mocks a king too vain to grasp that some crowns, once flown, were never meant to be reclaimed.

  Just A Bit Too Fast

  Fast, sharp, and tinged with irony, Just a Bit Too Fast is a classic slice of late-1920s pulp crime fiction from Hal Moore—where bluff, disguise, and nerve matter more than careful planning. 
  When a quiet branch bank is held up by a gun-wielding “old woman,” two plainclothes detectives—one local, one visiting—are left staring at an empty counter and a fast-disappearing getaway car. The robber, the notorious Thought-and-a-half Morgan, has already slipped the net once, and the chase that follows cuts quickly through rain-dark streets, bad leads, and a hunch rooted in earlier intelligence. 
  The hunt ends not in brilliance, but in a tense, shadowed ambush inside a shabby downtown hideout, where timing, luck, and a single misaligned flashlight beam decide the outcome. In the aftermath, one detective takes credit for flawless tactics—but the truth, quietly admitted, tells a different story. 
  Narrated with grit and restraint by Mike Polischuk, Just a Bit Too Fast delivers a lean, street-smart crime tale that captures the spirit of early pulp fiction: hard edges, fast movement, and victories that owe as much to chance as to courage.
