Deadtree Publishing has joined us to offer their exciting content which has the best and most comprehensive collection of classic short stories and poetry on audio in the world. They cover all the writers and poets you know but have dug deeper to unearth equally brilliant writers and poets who have been sorely neglected due to their gender, race and sexuality. We are able to offer all our listeners 50% off your first purchase with the code ABR50 so click on their logo now.
Many poets featured are, and were, rarely heard and have been painfully neglected. To be of colour was deemed at best to be second class so few of our poets had the privileges most of us take for granted or a means to market. Down the ages they illuminate the stain on our humanity and its ever-repeating cycle.
Fast paced and nightmarishly vivid, this greatest of Gothic tales propels the reader into the heart of darkness from its opening pages.
Women, so often referred to as the gentler sex, in this volume at least, is an unfounded and unlikely description. From their minds and pens comes a series of macabre, twisted, tales that are anything but gentle.
London, A City In Words - Every country has its capital, its centre for governance and culture. Only a few capitals can lay claim to being known the world over. Featuring poems by William Wordsworth, William Blake, Matthew Arnold, George Eliot, Ella Wheeler Wilcox, Rudyard Kipling & others.
Poe is expert at having you, the audience, involved ratcheting up the tension till the final unmentionable moments.

ALTERNATIVE RADIO with EDUARDO GALEANO
Here at Audiobook Radio we are keen to provide a range of voices – very literally as well as in terms of opinions and views of the world. This strand created by Alternative Radio does just that. We will hear from some of the most informed minds and greatest social activists of our time whose take on justice and power does not chime with those that hold the power and don’t provide justice for all so we rarely get to hear from them in mainstream media. Different opinions always help inform our own and we are always eager to hear from listeners about this or any other strand. Contact us on the tab at www.audiobookradio.net.
Today’s talk is given by Eduardo Galeano the essayist, journalist, historian, and activist, as well as one of Latin America’s most beloved literary figures. An outspoken critic of the increasingly dehumanizing effects of globalization on modern society, Galeano has remained a passionate advocate for human rights and justice.

SHORT STORIES – TWAIN & SHELLEY
GHOST STORY BY MARK TWAIN READ BY STUART MILLIGAN
Humourist Mark Twain’s take on horror is surprisingly convincing at creating an atmosphere of terror as our narrator endures a haunting of gigantic proportions. Ultimately Twain’s characteristic style prevails.
THE DREAM BY MARY SHELLEY READ BY GHIZELA ROWE
The dream of this short story occurs to the young and beautiful Constance, the Countess of Villeneuve whose grief for the death of her father and brothers is so great that she passes ‘many a day of tears and many a night of restless misery.’ The king, Henry IV of France orders her to marry so her immense estate will be upheld but she would rather remain isolated and see no one. However, the dream changes her life forever. (Vol 10)
