Peter Ord, a former private eye and failed author, returns to his hometown of Seatown, hoping to start fresh. But it doesn't take long for him to fall back into his old habits, hanging out with a group of lowlife characters and getting involved in criminal activities.
 
In "Seatown Blues," Paul D. Brazill weaves a collection of darkly comic tales that follow Peter's misadventures as he navigates the seedy underbelly of his hometown. Along the way, he encounters a cast of offbeat characters, each with their own quirks and secrets.

Arthur Crazy is hungover, but the dead don't care about headaches.


The city of York is teetering on the edge of disaster. During a rare eclipse, the Shadowman casts a spell atop the Minster, trapping the city between the realm of the living and the dead. Ghosts flood the streets, and Arthur, with his best friend Steve, is the only one who can stop the chaos.


But Arthur's not exactly in hero shape. Haunted by his past and drowning his sorrows in the nearest pint, he's barely keeping it together. That is, until he meets Nae—a beautiful stranger who might just hold the key to helping him feel normal again.


Now, with the Shadowman's spell tearing the veil between worlds, the city's only hope rests on a washed-up hero, a saint from the Shambles, and a dog who won't stop talking. York needs a miracle. Arthur needs another drink.


Or maybe a Panadol and a panini

Audiobook performed by George Newbern, Karen White, Michael Crouch, Jenna Lamia, Sophie Amoss, and Allyson Ryan 
A debut short story collection in the tradition of writers like Kelly Link, Aimee Bender, and George Saunders—complex, imaginative, and refreshingly original—now on audio as part of Ecco’s “Art of the Story” Series, and with a new introduction from the author. 
Kevin Wilson’s characters inhabit a world that moves seamlessly between the real and the imagined, yet they are grounded in the emotional truths of the characters’ experiences. “Grand Stand-In” is narrated by an employee of the Nuclear Family Supplemental Provider—a company that supplies “stand-ins” for families with deceased, ill, or just plain mean grandparents. And in “Blowing Up On the Spot,” a story singled out by Ann Patchett for Ploughshares, a young woman works sorting tiles at a Scrabble factory after her parents have spontaneously combusted.  
Southern gothic at its best, laced with humor and pathos, these wonderfully empathetic stories explore the relationship between loss and death and the many ways we try to cope with both.

Follow them from drinking beer, and pizza eating to the wild forest where they will fend for themselves. 
Feel the doubts felt as they leave civilization and journey into uncharted territory. 
Sense the panic when their only transportation becomes useless. 
Feel the cold as they trek on. Feel the fear as they encounter wild animals. 
Feel the panic as a fast moving stream and a muddy slough try to claim a member of the group. Feel the encouragement as they use their wits, and find ways to obtain food. 
Rally with them as they work their way back to to civilization.
