  Presented here are two of the most important books of the early 20th Century by one of the most original and groundbreaking writers of her era, the feminist literary pioneer Virginia Woolf.  First, the 1925 sensation "Mrs. Dalloway," the breakthrough novel that solidified Woolf's reputation as a fresh, new voice of her generation. Written in a new style - soon dubbed "stream-of-consciousness" - the book details a day in the life of Clarissa Dalloway, a British socialite in post-First World War England. Originally written as "The Hours," Woolf's novel was based on two earlier short stories, "Mrs. Dalloway in Bond Street" and "The Prime Minister." The book takes place in a single day and follows the eponymous lead character as she prepares for and hosts a party. Looping backwards and forwards in time, the reader is given a glimpse inside the mind of Mrs. Dalloway - and some of her party guests - as they goes about their day. Received with rapturous reviews upon its debut, Mrs. Dalloway was included on Time Magazine's list of the 100 best English-language novels ever written.  Also included in this volume is "To the Lighthouse," which was published in 1927, just two years after Mrs. Dalloway was released. To the Lighthouse is Virginia Woolf's experimental and brilliant third novel and concerns the annual visits by the Ramsay family to their summer home in the Isle of Skye in Scotland between 1910 and 1920. Once again employing her unique, stream-of-consciousness style, Woolf creates a fascinating and complex novel where the point of view of the narration switches between the various Ramsay family members and their guests. This semi-autobiographical book was hailed in its time as a breakthrough work of genius by critics, has gone on to become one of the most beloved and carefully studied books of all time and has been named by both Modern Library and Time Magazine as as one of the 100 best English language novels of the 20th century.

  In this story, Poe does a masterful job of describing the inner thoughts of a man who is obsessed with an old man "with a filmy pale blue "vulture-eye".  He knows deep in his soul that that eye is evil and his madness and obsession with it increases each day as he carefully calculates the murder of the old man.  Attempting the perfect crime, he dismembers the body in the bathtub and hides it under the floorboards of his room, happy with the result.  Until a policeman comes to look into the disappearance of the man and sits directly on top of where the pieces are hidden.  Is he imagining things, or does that dead heart still beat?

  🏖️ Seaside café owner Sandy Shores is thrilled to host her small beach town's annual Sandcastle Contest, but the excitement washes away when the arrogant defending champion is found dead inside his elaborate sand fortress. The police suspect a tragic accident, but Sandy notices the sandcastle's architecture has been subtly sabotaged and the victim's prized golden shovel is missing. With the town's summer tourism at stake, Sandy must dig into the case with help from her quirky barista and the handsome marine biologist who runs the local tide pool tours. From suspicious tide patterns to hidden messages in the sand sculpture designs, every grain of evidence points toward a killer who knows the beach as well as Sandy does. But when she uncovers a network of buried secrets involving real estate schemes, old summer romances, and a missing treasure map, Sandy realizes this was more than just competitive sabotage. With the tide coming in and evidence literally washing away, Sandy must solve the case before the killer decides one beachside blunder isn't enough.

  A Clown for Orphans & Other Short Stories gathers seven quiet, redemptive tales—ordinary lives brushed by the surprising nearness of God. These aren’t stories that shout. They move at the pace of real life: steady, unhurried, carrying both wounds and hope. 
  There’s a clown who gives more than he thought he had for the sake of another’s healing. A teenage girl with a jar of coins whose small act sets something sacred in motion. A hard man who learns mercy is not weakness, but the only way left open to him. 
  I write with honesty and faith, where questions are welcome and grace shows itself in unexpected ways. 
  This audiobook is narrated by Patrick Oliver Griswold, with additional character voices provided by professional actors.
