    Mallory: The day Christopher Johnson decided to kill me, I already knew what it was like to die. I had already experienced it once. Having the life leeched from my body, blood stolen from my veins, oxygen pulled from my lungs. When he decided to walk back into my life, I was in the middle of my third resurrection, healing from the loss of my brother when I was still raw from losing him. It wasn't going well. I guess the human heart can only stop so many times, can only take so much damage before it questions whether it's worth it to be revived. My heart is on its last leg, but even that can't stop me from seizing the chance to have him again. 
     
     
     
    Chris: Walking away from Mallory Kent is one of the hardest things I've ever done. Coming back had always been a part of the plan. Even as I gave in to the forces hellbent on tearing us apart, I knew we weren't done. I just didn't know we'd come back together like this: under a cloud of unexpected grief with the pain of our stolen future lingering just beneath the surface. This time together was never supposed to happen. I hadn't accounted for it when I started working to clear a path back to her, but I'm thankful for it. For the opportunity to comfort her in a way no one else can. For the chance to hold her until the demons in my life force me to walk away again.

    Hello Gooselings! 
    In the early 1990s YMCA storyteller, The Old Gray Goose joined forces with producer Geoffrey Giuliano in their hometown of Lockport, New York on the banks of the iconic Erie canal to create five masterful storytelling audiobooks. Originally released as CDs, 3 years ago the audiobooks, (now numbering 16) were compiled by sourcing the original 5 full productions and augmenting them with rare outtakes, unused tracks, and exclusive interviews. 
    Now for the first time since the 1990s at the end of the 20th century, the five original audiobooks are released in one super gigantic program. 
    This now iconic work will contain exactly what Goose recorded at Avalon Studios on Market Street in Lockport all those years ago. 
    Here then are the popular, evergreen recordings presented as Goose himself wanted them. Although it took producer Giuliano 10 years to get the Old Gray Goose inside of a studio it took another 5 to get him out! Goose loved telling his stories on tape and did so with great enthusiasm and overwhelming charisma. 
    Sadly we lost Goose a few years ago but thanks to that long ago partnership between two old friends from Camp Kenan on the pastoral shores of Lake Ontario Goose's ingratiating persona, loving presence, wonderful stories, silly songs and tall tales will live forever! 
    HERE IS THE OLD GRAY GOOSE ONE LAST TIME WITH HIS NOW HISTORIC ORIGINAL FIVE HEARTWARMING AUDIOBOOKS! 
     
    Includes: 
    32 STORIES GOOD AND TRUE 
    CAMPFIRE TALES 
    Also included are the two beautiful, insightful, educational productions recorded in Jagannatha Puri, India 
    STORIES OF ANCIENT INDIA 
    UNDER THE BANYAN TREE 
    Finally here to is Goose's most commercially popular release, SCARY STORIES FOR HALLOWEEN AND EVERYDAY which was released by KRB Music to tumultuous claim on CD

    “The greatest writer to have appeared in Latin America since the so-called ‘boom’ . . . I’m tempted to call Bolaño the love child of David Lynch and Jorge Luis Borges—he’s that visceral and erudite—but this wouldn’t do justice to his ambition.” —John Powers, NPR’s Fresh AirIn 1938 Paris, Monsieur Pierre Pain, a beleaguered mesmerist and a lonely bachelor, receives a telegram from his friend and unrequited love, Madame Reynaud: an acquaintance of hers lies in a hospital bed beset with a mysterious, and apparently terminal, case of the hiccups. She entreats Pain to use his peculiar skill set to cure him, and buoyed by her confidence, he agrees. But nothing about this case turns out to be ordinary, and soon Pain finds himself entangled in a dark and indecipherable sequence of events that sends him racing through the umbrous streets of Paris, lost and delirious. He attempts to visit the patient—none other than the exiled Peruvian poet César Vallejo—only to be barred from his bedside. He is stalked by a ghostly pair of men who emerge from the shadows to bribe him not to treat the poet. He encounters a former peer, now working across the border in war-torn Spain, whose career has taken a shockingly sinister turn, one which may explain this entire nightmare—or prove just another coincidence. A hypnotic and surreal noir, Roberto Bolaño’s Monsieur Pain takes us on a labyrinthine journey through conspiracy, occultism, and the unfathomable evil looming in our midst.A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux.
