  The Great Gatsby is a dazzling portrayal of the American Dream—and its disillusionment—set during the roaring 1920s. Narrated by the reflective Nick Carraway, the novel centers around the mysterious and fabulously wealthy Jay Gatsby, who throws lavish parties in hopes of rekindling a lost romance with the beautiful Daisy Buchanan. Beneath the glamour and jazz-age extravagance, the story unfolds as a haunting critique of ambition, love, and the pursuit of happiness in a world driven by materialism.Fitzgerald's lyrical prose captures both the enchantment and emptiness of high society, making The Great Gatsby a profound and enduring classic. With its themes of longing, illusion, and social decay, the novel continues to resonate as a cautionary tale about the cost of chasing dreams in a world where reality rarely matches fantasy.

  The Shadow Out of Time is a novella by American horror fiction writer H. P. Lovecraft. Written between November 1934 and February 1935, it was first published in the June 1936 issue of Astounding Stories. The story describes time and space travel by mind transfer. The premise is that a person in a given place and time can switch bodies with someone who is elsewhere or elsewhen. Other writers have re-used this concept in later works, such as drinking tea from Red Forest leaves in the television series 12 Monkeys and long-range communication stones in the Stargate SG-1 television series. As with other Lovecraftian works, this story features otherworldy alien beings that are not simply variations on humans or other familiar terrestrial animals.

  The Scandal of Father Brown was G.K. Chesterton's final set of Father Brown short stories. Also included in this collection is the short story "The Mask of Midas". 
  The enigmatic and diminutive priest continues to fathom the deepest of mysteries in a set of 11 fascinating stories which are set in such diverse locations as a Mexican Hotel, an English Seaside Pier, and an Oxford University Garden. Chesterton presents his humble and blinking detective as an almost childlike contrast to the bizarre and dark machinations of the fallen world. And yet Father Brown is far from a saintly figure; with his enjoyment of good wine and cigars, he is fully in the world but not of the world. Indeed, it is his accurate and insightful reading of Men and Women's souls that often lead him to understand their actions and motives. If any has taken to heart Christ's admonition to be as “wise as serpents and harmless as doves" it is Father Brown! 
  Head Stories Audio presents "The Scandal of Father Brown" :narrated by Simon Hester. With original music.
