Subterranean PressSubterranean Press, which produces the “Subterranean Online” magazine, is proving itself a reliable source for excellent (and FREE) audiobooks. The latest proof of this comes from the Winter 2008 issue which includes a Charlie Stross novelette in audiobook form. Trunk And Disorderly was first published in textual form in the January 2007 issue of Asimov’s Science Fiction magazine.

“In some distant future, a socialite with the most tenuous of relationships bounces from activity to activity with only the slimmest idea of what is going on. Bringing along his sister’s mini-elephant and his butler, he consumes prodigious amounts of alcohol and still manages to survive a coup masquerading as a wild party.”
[Summary by Jeff of FILLING MY MIND WITH GEH]

In a little theatre, off off off Broadway, Simon Gray is attempting to direct a production of Macbeth, but every actress that plays Witch #3, disappears. Simon calls in his old friend, Mojo Sam. When Mojo sees an actress vanish before his eyes, he brings in Little Frieda, a girl who looks about 12 years old, wears pigtails that rise straight up in the air when she senses danger, smokes Havana cigars, and has no pupils in her eyes. She can see thought forms. When she finally talks Simon into allowing her to play Witch #3, Little Frieda also disappears, in fact, right on stage, “Poof!” she’s gone. But then, in the Realm of the Muse, Little Frieda meets the real Witch #3, and she is sizzling mad and out for revenge.
