  Try Not to Be Strange - The...

  On his fifteenth birthday, in the summer of 1880, future science-fiction writer M.P. Shiel sailed with his father and the local bishop from their home in the Caribbean out to the nearby island of Redonda—where, with pomp and circumstance, he was declared the island’s king. A few years later, when Shiel set sail for a new life in London, his father gave him some advice: Try not to be strange. It was almost as if the elder Shiel knew what was coming. 
  Try Not to Be Strange: The Curious History of the Kingdom of Redonda tells, for the first time, the complete history of Redonda’s transformation from an uninhabited, guano-encrusted island into a fantastical and international kingdom of writers. With a cast of characters including forgotten sci-fi novelists, alcoholic poets, vegetarian publishers, Nobel Prize frontrunners, and the bartenders who kept them all lubricated while angling for the throne themselves, Michael Hingston details the friendships, feuds, and fantasies that fueled the creation of one of the oddest and most enduring micronations ever dreamt into being. Part literary history, part travelogue, part quest narrative, this cautionary tale about what happens when bibliomania escapes the shelves and stacks is as charming as it is peculiar—and blurs the line between reality and fantasy so thoroughly that it may never be entirely restored.

  Bram Stoker: The True Story of...

  “A dog began to howl somewhere in a farmhouse far down the road, a long, agonized wailing, as if from fear. The sound was taken up by another dog, and then another and another, till, borne on the wind which now sighed softly through the pass, a wild howling began, which seemed to come from all over the country, as far as the imagination could grasp it through the gloom of the night.” 
   
  With howling dogs, a shimmering moon and a chill wind through a darkened landscape, these words could only come from one novel; the great horror classic, Dracula, penned by the Irish born writer Bram Stoker. 
   
  The name Dracula strikes fear whenever it is mentioned, such is the power of this novel, about a monstrous vampire that feeds on human blood. The character of Count Dracula himself has become as legendary as the hideous Frankenstein’s monster in the history of horror, while the story of Dracula has been used time and again in films, dating back to the early 20th Century and the silent movies, right up to the present day and the post millennium Hollywood blockbuster. 
   
  But, what of the author of this gruesome novel of blood lust? Who created this tale of the living dead sucking every last drop of blood from their unsuspecting victims? In precisely the same way that Mary Shelley is little recognized for Frankenstein, the novel she created when she was a mere 18-years old, the author of Dracula, Bram Stoker is a similarly overlooked figure in the world of literature.

  After completing intensive training Roderick Chisholm was thrust into the height of the Blitz to protect his country in the black of night. 
   
   
   
  Guided by rudimentary radar he, along with his fellow pilots of 604 Squadron, developed the art of night-fighter operations. 
   
   
   
  Fog, friendly-fire, disorientation, a Messerschmitt surprising you from behind—night-flying was a terrifying experience, even for skilled pilots, and Chisholm provides vivid insight into the hopes and fears of these men as they endeavored to do their best in difficult conditions. 
   
   
   
  Cover of Darkness records in fascinating detail how night-fighting progressed through the course of the war, initially through the use of radar, and later when Chisholm served in 100 Group Bomber Command developing radio countermeasures and organizing fighter support for the bombers raiding Germany by night.

  The Innocents Abroad – Mark Twain 
  What happens when sharp American wit collides with the grandeur of Old Europe and the mystique of the Holy Land? Enter the mind of Mark Twain, where curiosity is weaponized and tradition is gently—yet mercilessly—unraveled. 
  In The Innocents Abroad, Twain turns a simple travelogue into a brilliant social commentary. Through the lens of a transatlantic voyage undertaken by a group of American tourists, he scrutinizes the customs, ruins, and revered relics of the Old World. But this is no ordinary journal—it's a masterful blend of satire, observation, and unfiltered insight, where every monument becomes a metaphor, every encounter a mirror of national identity. 
  Join Twain and his fellow “innocents” as they marvel at the ruins of Rome, navigate the romantic chaos of Paris, and confront the solemn air of Jerusalem. Whether mocking the pomp of ancient architecture or capturing the wonder in a fleeting Mediterranean sunset, Twain’s voice oscillates between biting irony and genuine awe. 
  More than a travel memoir, this audiobook is a timeless interrogation of what it means to see the world—and oneself. Twain's critique of blind reverence and his celebration of independent thought feel as contemporary today as they did in the 19th century, resonating with modern listeners who seek both amusement and insight. 
  This immersive audiobook experience is brought to life by high-fidelity AI narration, designed to capture the nuance of Twain’s humor and the clarity of his prose—ensuring an accessible and engaging listen from start to finish. 
  Step aboard this unforgettable journey. Let Twain be your guide through foreign lands and familiar follies. Purchase now and rediscover the art of seeing with irreverence, intelligence, and a twinkle in the eye.
