My Instant Death Ability Is So Overpowered No One in This Other World Stands a Chance Against Me! Volume 14

Tsuyoshi Fujitaka

Sinossi

Yogiri and Tomochika have made it through the game of Cavern Quest and now approach the last boss, “Lasbo.” Much to their surprise, Lasbo’s true identity is not that of a monster, but the other parties who’ve undertaken the same quest alongside them. Much to Van’ssurprise, the seven Philosopher’s Stones—keys to last boss’s area—have multiplied into hundreds, throwing the game’s conclusion into utter chaos. As he attempts to salvage what remains of his game, the Great Sage himself appears to observe the grand finale with his own eyes. Yogiri and Tomochika were hoping to finish Cavern Quest quickly in order to return to the surface and resume their search for a way home, but now that the Great Sage is involved, that’s going to be far more complicated than they ever imagined.

Why Mummy Drinks at Christmas

Gill Sims

‘I romped through ‘Why Mummy Drinks at Christmas’, and I absolutely adored it’ – Jilly Cooper
Tis’ the season to get trollied!
Mummy has always loved Christmas. Sure, the kids turn into demons, the dinner gets burnt to a crisp and Aunt Louisa’s general staggering inappropriateness sends Mummy reaching for the nearest maximum-strength festive tipple, but nevertheless, for her, Christmas is always special.
This year, she wants nothing more than to perfectly fig up the pudding and sit by the fire reading aloud from A Christmas Carol to a rapt, rosy-cheeked audience. But, just like all Mummy’s best-laid plans, this year’s Festive Vision is in danger of being totally derailed by her chaotic family. There’s not much chance of any action under the mistletoe, and the kids are just not playing ball.
Can Mummy find her silver lining after all and bring the whole family together for one moment of harmony, so they can finally proclaim ‘Verily You Are the Queen of Christmas’? Or should she get stuck into the festive spirits and just let it all go?
In this humorous and biographical fiction, Gill Sims, the Sunday Times bestselling author, brings to life the chaotic yet endearing reality of family life during the festive season. The top-notch narrative explores the complexities of marriage, friendship, and the inevitable divorce, all wrapped up in the spirit of Christmas.
For fans of Sophie Kinsella (What Does it Feel Like?), Freya Kennedy (The Hopes and Dreams of Libby Quinn), Kristen Bailey (Textbook Romance), Alexandra Potter (More Confessions of a Forty-Something F**k Up), and Jane Fallon (Getting Rid of Matthew).

The Eyes Have It

Philip K. Dick

What if ordinary language hid extraordinary secrets? 
Philip K. Dick’s delightfully strange short story The Eyes Have It takes a single misunderstanding and spirals it into full-blown paranoia in the way only Dick can. 
When an unsuspecting reader opens a simple paperback, he discovers bizarre phrases that seem to describe humans casually removing eyes, hands, and limbs as if it were nothing. Horrified, he becomes convinced he has stumbled onto a hidden truth: alien beings who can detach their body parts walk among us — and the book is their confession. 
What follows is a hilarious and unsettling descent into misunderstanding, speculation, and fear. With Dick’s trademark mix of satire, sci-fi curiosity, and slippery reality, the story skewers the way we interpret the world around us — and how easily imagination can outrun truth. 
Narrated with sharp wit and perfect comic timing by Drew Caton, this short tale delivers a punch of classic speculative weirdness in just minutes. A must-listen for fans of retro sci-fi, humor with a paranoid twist, and the early works of Philip K. Dick.

Ten Funny Stories is an auditory journey through ten stops filled with misunderstandings, quirky characters, absurd situations, but also love, tenderness, truth, and nods to our everyday contradictions. This set of tales invites you to laugh, reflect, and shake your head in disbelief at the strange ways life unfolds.
Let yourself be surprised by a mischievous fortune teller, an elusive seducer juggling twelve women without raising the slightest suspicion, a presidential election where underhanded tactics outnumber ballots, a woman sincerely seeking love who scrolls through dating profiles with more hope than success, or a trio of false prophets determined to found a church with intentions... not very divine.
Each story has what it takes to make you smile during your workout, burst out laughing in the kitchen, or forget your worries during a break. Whether you're alone or surrounded by loved ones, this audiobook is a gentle companion, ready to brighten your moments and sow smiles along your daily path.
