  Henry already died once. Does he really need to do it again? 
   
   
   
  Now he's a skeleton with a stat sheet, skills, and an insatiable desire to kill humans. Lurking in the very depths of his bleached skull, some remnant of his old self still remains—and it wants to break free just as badly as Henry wants to figure out how he's a skeleton in the first place. 
   
   
   
  And Henry isn't the only one. Other skeletons are gaining sentience all over Jallfoss. Is there any way back? Any way to break the curse that holds all of Jallfoss in its icy grip? 
   
   
   
  More humans are coming, and if Henry doesn't learn how to keep himself alive, none of it will matter.

  Lynn Venable’s Time Enough at Last is a chilling and ironic tale about the fragility of dreams and the unpredictable nature of fate. The story follows Henry Bemis, a man who loves books but is constantly denied the time to read. When a catastrophic event leaves him as the sole survivor in a desolate, post-apocalyptic world, he finds solace in the realization that he now has all the time he ever wanted—to read without interruption. However, fate has one final, cruel twist in store. 
  Narrated by Richard Stibbard, this audiobook brings Venable’s classic short story to life with haunting poignancy. Time Enough at Last is a masterful meditation on solitude, the fleeting nature of human desires, and the tragic irony that often accompanies them. First published in 1953 in If: Worlds of Science Fiction, this story has become one of the most enduring examples of speculative fiction, further cemented by its legendary adaptation in The Twilight Zone.

  "People are trouble and to be avoided at all costs..." 
  That was Joshua Ragland's golden rule for survival in the After Days. In his previous life he had studied law, and he figured that back then, people probably said the same thing about lawyers. That was before America fell. Before a deadly biological strike and subsequent land invasion brought the superpower to her knees in a matter of days. 
  Unlike the rest of the adult population, he survived the virus and by some miracle lived to see the invaders pushed west by a retaliatory, but futile strike. Unfortunately, they left the eastern seaboard of America a shell of its former self, its cities and suburbs abandoned to the forsaken children and teenagers that survived their "work" camps. 
  Now, ten years on, he is a hardened survivor. A drifter who wanders the ruins of America, keeping to himself and only tolerating human contact when he has to. Unfortunately, he's about to break his own rule. 
  When Ragland intervenes to save the life of a young girl captured by a pack of cannibals, he unwittingly sets in motion a chain of events that will bring the horde down upon his head... 
  Don't miss the thrilling 10th installment of the America Falls Series

  Written in 1835, this is a unique example of sci-fi wrtten by a man much better known for dark and fantastical horror. Intended by Poe to be a hoax, this tale describes a journey in a balloon that includes the view of the Earth from space and a volcanic, seething satellite.From the wiki:"The Unparalleled Adventure of One Hans Pfaall" (1835) is a short story by Edgar Allan Poe published in the June 1835 issue of the monthly magazine Southern Literary Messenger as "Hans Phaall -- A Tale", intended by Poe to be a hoax.The story is regarded as one of the early examples of the modern science fiction genre. The story traces the journey of a voyage to the moon.Poe planned to continue the hoax in further installments, but was pre-empted by the Great Moon Hoax which started in the August 25, 1835 issue of the New York Sun daily newspaper. Poe later wrote that the satirical tone of the story made it easy for readers to see through the supposed hoax.Poe's story had an influence on, and is referenced in, Jules Verne's From the Earth to the Moon, which can be seen as a retelling of the story.[5] Verne acknowledged Poe as the creator of the "scientific novel" when he referred to him as 'le créateur du roman merveilleux scientifique'.Poe later published a similar hoax, "The Balloon-Hoax", in the New York Sun in 1844.
