  An unforgettable Christmas story that will make your heart soar . . . and maybe even help you see the spirit of Christmas in a new way. 
  A lavishly produced audio drama with six original songs. 
  Based on the novella by bestselling author Steven Manchester, here is an extraordinary Christmas story about four friends who discover new ways to live the Christmas spirit and the one remarkable friend who guides them all. Ava, Izzy, Kevin, Randy, and Jesse have been best friends since their freshman year of college, and they've dubbed themselves "The Thursday Night Club" in honor of the Thursday night pot lucks that served as the foundation for their relationship. Jesse, who believes that Christmas is first and foremost about giving of yourself to help others, has been trying to get the rest of the club to follow her lead, and this year – their senior year – they have finally agreed. But, of course, being the Thursday Night Club, they need to turn it into a contest. And what starts as a lighthearted competition among friends becomes something so much more as Christmas Eve draws near. 
  Starring singing sensations Kurt Hugo Schneider and Madilyn Bailey along with Alladin on Broadway's Arielle Jacobs, Dear Evan Hansen's Noah Galvin, Beautiful's Ashley De La Rosa, and two-time Golden Globe winner Kathleen Turner, The Thursday Night Club is a stunning production on every level and one you will want to revisit for Christmases to come.

  The Food of the Gods and How it...

  What happens when science tampers with nature? A riveting, cautionary tale with disastrous results reveals the chilling answer. 
  Hoping to create a new growth agent for food with beneficial uses to mankind, two scientists find that the spread of the material is uncontrollable. Giant chickens, rats, and insects run amok, and children given the food stuffs experience incredible growth—and serious illnesses. Over the years, people who have eaten these specially treated foods find themselves unable to fit into a society where ignorance and hypocrisy rule. These "giants," with their extraordinary mental powers, find themselves shut away from an older, more traditional society. Intolerance and hatred increase as the line of distinction between ordinary people and giants is drawn across communities and families. 
  One of H. G. Wells' lesser-known works, The Food of the Gods has been retold many times in many forms since it was first published in 1904. The gripping, newly relevant tale combines fast-paced entertainment with social commentary as it considers the ethics involved in genetic engineering.

  Nightfire Books, a new horror imprint from Tor Books, is proud to present 35 audio-only horror short stories showcasing the breadth of talent in today's field.  
  Theresa DeLucci, editor of Come Join Us By the Fire, says, “We wanted this long list of stories to showcase the scope of modern horror, from the cosmic and Lovecraftian, the beloved undead tropes of zombies, ghosts, and slashers, to the more uncanny and internal terrors of isolation, lost love, aging, and one of the briefest, most distressing alien abduction stories you’ll ever hear (‘No Matter Which Way We Turned’ by 2017 Guggenheim Fellowship recipient Brian Evenson.)”  
  The authors also reflect the diversity of horror as a field, with selections from horror grandmasters such as Joe R. Lansdale; New York Times bestsellers like Richard Kadrey and Victor LaValle; exciting new voices including recent Bram Stoker Award winner Gwendolyn Kiste (The Rust Maidens), Cassandra Khaw, and Michael Wehunt; and literary crossover stars such as Carmen Maria Machado (Her Body and Other Parties), National Book Award finalist and winner of the the Lambda Literary Award for Lesbian Fiction. 
  There's something for every listener, so come join us by the fire and hear tales not to tell against the dark... but to embrace it.
