  We know from experience that celebrating Halloween with young children can be a little tricky. Sometimes even the decorations around town are too much! That’s why we designed a Halloween edition of Three Detail Stories. This collection features 10 slightly spooky stories that aren't too scary for those sensitive little ones. Made with kids age 4 to 10 in mind, you can rest assured these Halloween tales are G-rated and parent approved.  
  If you are familiar with our other audiobooks, you know that Three Detail Stories gets its name from a nightly tradition at the Leither house. At the end of the day 5-year-old River and 7-year-old Itasca cuddle up with Daddy Dude and chose three details. Then Nicholas Leither comes up with an original story on the spot, including those three details. The result is always surprising, engaging and fun. How do you fit Halloween, Santa and a dolphin into the same story? What about a treat bag, a ghost and a werewolf? Listen to find out.

  The Broken Axiom by Alfred Bester - The Laws of Physics State That Two Bodies Cannot Occupy the Same Space at the Same Time-but Dr. Halday Finds a Loophole! 
  Alfred Bester was an American science fiction author, editor, and scriptwriter whose bold imagination and innovative prose reshaped the genre. A native New Yorker, Bester studied psychology and philosophy before turning to writing in the late 1930s, contributing stories to pulps like Thrilling Wonder Stories. During the 1940s he worked extensively in comics, scripting for DC titles such as Superman, Green Lantern, and Batman, where he co-created enduring concepts including the Green Lantern Oath. 
  Bester’s true breakthrough came in the 1950s with two landmark novels: The Demolished Man (1953), the first Hugo Award winner for Best Novel, a dazzling blend of crime fiction and telepathy; and The Stars My Destination (1956), a revenge-driven space opera often hailed as one of science fiction’s greatest works. 
  Beyond novels, Bester’s short stories are regarded as classics for their experimental flair. He also worked in radio, television, and magazine editing, spending time as features editor for Holiday magazine. Though his later novels received mixed reception, Bester’s mid-century works remain milestones of modern science fiction. Celebrated for his wit, linguistic play, and relentless energy, Alfred Bester is remembered as one of the field’s most original and enduring voices.
