    The Legend of Sleepy Hollow

    In the dark shadow of the grove, on the margin of the brook, he beheld something huge, misshapen and towering. It stirred not, but seemed gathered up in the gloom, like some gigantic monster ready to spring upon the traveller. 
     
    During a late-night horse ride, the lovelorn schoolteacher Ichabod Crane passes through the sites of familiar ghost stories. It is dark and the forest is full of spooky sounds. He thinks his imagination is getting the best of him, but suddenly he finds himself being pursued by a shadowy figure. To his horror, Ichabod realizes that the figure has no head on his shoulders, but instead holds his head in front of him on the saddle. Ichabod races to safety at the other side of the bridge, only to turn around and see the horseman’s head hurled directly at him. 
     
    Was Ichabod Crane a victim of the Headless Horseman? Or was it a prank by one of the villagers competing for Ichabod’s love interest? His fate remains the speculation of the settlers in the story, and continues to intrigue audiences to this day. Since Washington Irving first published the story in 1819, this classic legend has been retold in many forms, including TV, music, and theatre. Fans of the Sleepy Hollow film adaptation by Tim Burton will enjoy listening to this production of the original, unabridged text that inspired it all.

    JUPITER RISING – THE CELESTIAL CHRONICLES 
    Book 2 of 6  The Centaur's Prophecy 
    This story is summarized as follows: 
    In The Centaur’s Prophecy, Dr. Minerva Voss deciphers a star-map leading to Enceladus, where the last Sagittari centaur, Chiron, reveals a dire truth: Jove imprisons Nyx, a void entity now breaking free. The Syndicate, led by Darius Kane, attacks, seeking to weaponize this power. Chiron imprints Minerva with celestial runes, showing her visions of a cosmic arrow—the only weapon capable of sealing Nyx. As the Library collapses, Minerva’s team escapes, pursued by Kane’s centaur-hybrid drones. The runes guide them toward the Horsehead Nebula, where the arrow is hidden. With the Syndicate closing in and Nyx’s corruption spreading, Minerva must master her new connection to the Sagittari or risk annihilation. The hunt for the arrow becomes a race against time, blending ancient mythology and interstellar warfare, setting the stage for a battle that will decide humanity’s fate.  
    This is the second of six audiobooks in the series, the next will become available in the very near future and I do hope you enjoy this second instalment, and it's only $3, all subsequent will remain at that price. 
    I have worked very hard and meticulously to provide you with an enjoyable experience, the initial opening credit music which does run to approximately 2 1/2 minutes and prepares you for the start, synthesizer, bass and cymbals in a soul/funk form. The closing music ends the tale on a darker tone and at about 2 minutes and the same musical instruments, genre and industrial/fearful mood but with more caution added.  
    The story itself runs to about 15 minutes and is narrated in my own voice.  
    I do hope you enjoy this audiobook and let me know what you think, there are a lot more to come!

    When Sammy leaves his sister Jazzy safely tucked inside their beloved Catillac to fetch fresh mouse livers from the flea market, a sudden break-in changes everything.

    Shandy - Love Jealousy and a...

    Shandy by Ron Goulart is a witty, offbeat science fiction story that showcases his trademark blend of humor and human insight. At its heart is Nancy Tanner and her unusual companion, Shandy—a teddy bear, a lion, an ape, and something far stranger. What begins as a lighthearted look at affection and rivalry evolves into a reflection on identity and emotion in a world where technology and fantasy intertwine. Like much of Goulart’s work, Shandy balances satire and sentiment, using absurd situations to reveal truths about love, loneliness, and what it means to be human. His sharp dialogue and breezy style make the story both funny and unsettling, a perfect example of how he could infuse whimsy with warmth. 
    Ron Goulart (1933–2022) was one of the most versatile and prolific voices in American popular fiction. Born in Berkeley, California, he wrote hundreds of stories and novels across genres—science fiction, mystery, fantasy, and comic adventure—often marked by his quick wit and social satire. A frequent contributor to Galaxy and If magazines, Goulart was also known for his media tie-in novels and for reviving pulp heroes like The Avenger. Beyond fiction, he was a noted historian of comics and pulp literature, authoring nonfiction works such as Cheap Thrills and Comic Book Culture. Goulart’s writing combined humor with compassion, capturing the eccentricities of modern life and the absurdities of technology with a light but insightful touch. His work remains a bridge between the pulp era’s exuberance and the self-aware irony of modern speculative fiction.
