A Walk In The Dark by Arthur C. Clarke

This story by Arthur C. Clarke is rather unusual, at least it’s unusual for Clarke, as it’s more about a mood than an idea. But, the writing is still crisp, and that makes it worth hearing.

Adam And No Eve by Alfred Bester

This well regarded, and much anthologized, Science Fiction short story didn’t seem to have any point to it. I didn’t much like it, not until the very end, when I realized suddenly where it was going to go. It went there. I like it.

SFFaudio Online Audio

Wow! This is the first original to YouTube audiobook I’ve ever heard that I’ve actually really liked! Talkers, by David Longhorn, is a very high quality short story, apparently inspired by In The Abyss by H.G. Wells and “many stories about the Deep Ones” by H.P. Lovecraft.

First published in the journal of A Ghostly Company.

It’s only got 7 views. We must fix that.

New Releases

I loved the paperbook, and the audiobook |READ OUR REVIEW|, now somebody has jammed them together into an ebook. Finally, a reason to get into ebooks!

Letters From Father Christmas (aka The Father Christmas Letters) is a set of actual letters written to J.R.R. Tolkien’s children under the pseudonym of Father Christmas (aka Santa Claus). Fully illustrated, they make you think Tolkien was simply the coolest dad ever.
