  In this erotic forest fantasy we find ourselves acquainted with Wisteria, a beautiful if somewhat naïve orphan, forced to live with her domineering grandmother - the all-knowing Forest Witch. When our sweet young heroine falls deeply in love with a boy from a nearby village of elves, granny does everything in her power to stop him from taking the young girl’s virginity. With hormones raging, will Wisteria escape the clutches of her wicked guardian? And if so, how will she react to the ecstasy of the sacred rights of hymen? 
  This erotic short story from Erin Pim contains highly sexualised language and graphically descriptive passages of an adult nature. It is therefore intended solely for a mature, open-minded audience.

  Alison Moore's debut collection, The Pre-War House and Other Stories, gathered together stories written prior to the publication of her first novel.
  'The tales collected in The Pre-War House… pick at psychological scabs in a register both wistful and brutal.' —Anthony Cummins, The Times Literary Supplement
  'Moore's writing is surprising and exact and culminates in the title story, the novella which brings the collection to a powerful crescendo' —The Arkansas International
  'just as uncompromising and unsettling as The Lighthouse… Moore's distinctive voice commands exceptional power' —Dinah Birch, The Guardian
  Eastmouth and Other Stories is her second collection, featuring stories published in the subsequent decade, including stories that have appeared in Best British Short Stories, Best British Horror and Best New Horror, as well as new, unpublished work.

  Men Without Women

  Ernest Hemingway

  Originally published in October 1927, the second short-story collection published by Pulitzer Prize winner and Nobel Laureate Ernest Hemingway contains the following fourteen stories: The Undefeated In Another Country Hills Like White Elephants The Killers Che Ti Dice La Patria? Fifty Grand A Simple Enquiry Ten Indians A Canary for One An Alpine Idyll A Pursuit Race Today is Friday Banal Story Now I Lay Me Themes and subject matter range from bullfighting, boxing, and prizefighting to divorce, infidelity, and death. Critics at the time praised Hemingway's concise language and powerful prose. Content Warning: As a part of the public domain, Men Without Women is a literary work that reflects the time in which it was published—both its good and its ill. The original text of Men Without Women contains slurs and depictions that represent prejudiced and harmful beliefs regarding race, ethnicity, and religion. To erase or bury this representation of inequity and prejudice would be akin to pretending it never existed, a denial that only perpetuates and extends the original harm done. Thus, in the interest of preserving and documenting both the faults and highlights of literary history—an instrumental, crucial function of works entering the public domain—this text is unedited and uncensored in this audiobook recording. Please proceed with discretion.
