One Law for the Rich

Stacy Aumonier

Stacy Aumonier was a British writer best known for his outstanding short stories. Nobel Prize-winner John Galsworthy described Aumonier as 'one of the best short story writers of all time' and predicted that he would 'outlive all the writers of his day'. Aumonier wrote over 85 short stories in his lifetime. He has been described as the 'British Maupassant', owing to his captivating plots and his ability to create complex characters with just a few lines of carefully selected prose. His intensely visual prose meant his works were readily adaptable to the cinema screen, and several of his short stories were adapted by Alfred Hitchcock.'One Law for the Rich' is the tale of two brothers, one a rich and successful businessman, the other a poor man whose business only just makes ends meet. At a cousin's funeral, both men catch a stinking cold. One is able to afford the best doctors and medicines London can provide...the other must rely on home remedies. But how will each invalid fare?

Selected Short Stories of HG...

H. G. Wells

Flying beasties, swimming beasties, creepy crawly leggy beasties – you’ll find them all in this delightfully suspenseful, subtly spine-tingling collection of three short stories written by the illustrious H.G. Wells. Carefully curated from Wells’s more than 30 short stories, the selections you’ll hear in this volume are: In the Avu Observatory, The Valley of Spiders, and The Sea Raiders. 
H.G. Wells, perhaps best known for science fiction masterpieces such as The Time Machine and The War of the Worlds, wrote across many genres including satire, history, and social commentary. In the early 1900s, Wells published The Country of the Blind and Other Short Stories which showcased his talent with the short form in science fiction, the spiritual realm, the human condition, and creepy occurrences in the seemingly "real" world. The stories in this volume are of the latter sort – just hair-raising enough that after listening to them you may look twice when something catches your eye from the sky above you, in the water around you, or on the ground beneath your feet.
