Summary

A collection of eighteen classic Golden Age short stories from “the best of mystery writers”—with a tribute by Agatha Christie (The New Yorker).   Acclaimed by critics and her peers, Margery Allingham was one of the finest writers of her day, crafting fiction that challenged readers’ crime-solving skills and kept them on the edge of their seats. Foul play, mystery, and the macabre set the stage for unforgettable characters who struggled with the complexities of life and their own morality.   In these pages, you’ll find eighteen stories that showcase Margery Allingham’s wit, sharp characterization, and clever plotting. From her famous detective’s swift dispatch of a case in “Mr. Campion’s Lucky Day,” to ghost-hunting in a terrorized village in “’Tis Not Hereafter,” to a debate about—and proof of—good and evil in “The Wink,” Margery Allingham shows why she “deserves to be rediscovered” (P. D. James, New York Times–bestselling author).  Praise for Margery Allingham   “[Allingham was a] rare and precious talent.” —The Washington Post   “Don’t start reading these books unless you are confident that you can handle addiction.” —The Independent   “One of the finest Golden-Age crime novelists.” —The Sunday Telegraph  
Available since: 05/30/2023.

    The ClusterF*ck Collection is it's namesake. It's a collection of works that have no rhyme or reason. Some poems are about love and some are about healing. Some short stories are about trauma and some excerpts are more horror themed. It's a well rounded approach at giving the world a glimpse into my own. As a neurodivergent, Native American and trans author I could not be more proud to bring these parts of me to more people.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Sealed inside a steel sphere no wider than a coffin, the explorer Elstead is lowered five miles down into the lightless deep – further than any living man has ever gone – to see what the ocean floor conceals. His colleagues on the surface expect crushing pressure, blind fish, perhaps nothing at all. What Elstead finds instead is a glimmering city in the abyss, and a race of intelligent, reptilian beings who gaze up at his descending light and take the strange visitor from above for something other than a man. He returns with a tale almost too wondrous to credit – and a fixed resolve to go down again. But the deep does not always give back what it borrows.
