Stories About Experiments Gone Wrong Audiobook

"Science is based on fact. Of course, it might take a huge leap of faith or imagination to even think that something can be proven or invented with experiments in search of the presumed end result. In this volume our trusted band of authors write fervently in pursuit of something that just needs proving with a small, very simple, experiment or two. What could possibly go wrong?1 - Stories About Experiments Gone Wrong - An Introduction 2 - Rappaccini's Daughter - Part 1 by Nathaniel Hawthorne3 - Rappaccini's Daughter - Part 2 by Nathaniel Hawthorne4 - When The World Screamed by Arthur Conan Doyle5 - Cool Air by H P Lovecraft6 - The Mortal Immortal by Mary Shelley7 - Doctor Heidegger's Experiment by Nathaniel Hawthorne8 - The Blue Laboratory by L T Meade9 - Professor Vehr's Electrical Experiment by Robert Duncan Milne10 - The Crystal Man by Edward Page Mitchell11 - The Operation by Violet Hunt12 - Carnivorine by Lucy Hamilton Hooper13 - The Secret of the Scaffold by Auguste Villiers de I'Ísle-Adam14 - A Thousand Deaths by Jack London"

The Foundations of Fiction - Dystopian

"In this series we turn the pages of classic short stories to put together the literary building blocks of how a particular genre or theme began, how it built its foundations to become the well-loved and well-worn genre that it is today.Do authors have the same ideas at more or less the same time? Or can they sniff out an opportunity as to which way the tastes of an audience are moving. Success undoubtedly builds success and in literary terms we can more politely say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and the surest way to reach a hungry readership is to build on the fortune and flair of your literary colleagues. We all fear the world will end badly. Even worse that we might be caught up in it. In this volume our authors summon up stories which illustrate and flavour our thinking and imaginings on just how a society would reach that precipice, how it would ultimately be.01 - Foundations of Fiction - Dystopian - An Introduction2 - A Dream of Armageddon by H G Wells3 - The Park of Kings by Alexander Kuprin4 - Into the Sun by Robert Duncan Milne5 - The Cloud-Men by Owen Oliver6 - The Republic of the Southern Cross by Valery Bryusov7 - The End of the World by Simon Newcomb8 - The World's Last Cataclysm by Robert Duncan Milne9 - Within An Ace of the End of the World by Robert Barr10 - Christmas Formula by Stella Benson11 - The Repairer of Reputations by Robert W Chambers"

Catastrophe - A Short Story Collection

"'The End of the World is Nigh' has been seen, heard and quoted ad infinitum all of our lives. In the comfort zone of our own arrogance and the resources that we humans have at our disposal it seems we are both inviolable and invincible. All is safe. We are in control. But Nature has a way of sending earthquakes, eruptions, fires and flood, and much else besides, at the most inopportune times and, in these more modern days, with increasing frequency and extremes. In this volume our classic authors conjure up all sorts of damnations and destructions in literary assaults testing our will to survive and our ingenuity to overcome situations where the outlook is bleak at best and the total extinction of us at worse. 1 - Catastrophe - A Short Story Collection - An Introduction 2 - The Unparallelled Invasion by Jack London 3 - The Freezing of London by Herbert C Ridout 4 - London's Danger by C J Cutcliffe Hyne 5 - Into the Sun by Robert Duncan Milne 6 - The Cloud-Men by Owen Oliver 7 - The Dust of Death by Fred M White 8 - The End of the World by Simon Newcomb 9 - Within An Ace of the End of the World by Robert Barr 10 - The World's Last Cataclysm by Robert Duncan Milne"

The Media - A Short Story Collection

"The Modern Age is one of information overload. Bombarded, surrounded, and battered by facts, figures, opinions and seemingly whatever else comes out of anyone's head from all directions at all hours of the day and night. It's exhausting. However, in this volume we go back a little way to when social media was an actual chat on the street corner or a dinner party, when breaking news was tomorrow's newspaper or something momentous when a TV or radio programme could be interrupted with the outbreak of war or the death of a leader or sovereign. In the pens of such luminaries as Henry James, E M Delafield, C E Montague, Charlotte Perkins Gilman and many others we connect with old fashioned media from publishing and advertising to telegrams and radio and everything in between in ways that are surprising, enlightening but always entertaining. 1 - The Media - A Short Story Collection - An Introduction 2 - The Death of the Lion - Part 1 by Henry James 3 - The Death of the Lion - Part 2 by Henry James 4 - The Voice of God by Winifred Holtby 5 - Home Life Relayed by E M Delafield 6 - His Wife's Deceased Sister by Frank R Stockton 7 - Over the Wires by H D Everett 8 - The Night Wire by W F Arnold 9 - The Millionaire's Telegram by Barry Pain 10 - Mutiny by Dorothy Edwards 11 - The Eidoloscope by Robert Duncan Milne 12 - The Cloud-Men by Owen Oliver 13 - Why Herbert Killed His Mother by Winifred Holtby 14 - Looking at the Classics by E M Delafield 15 - Making a Living by Charlotte Perkins Gilman 16 - Two or Three Witnesses by C E Montague"

Photography - A Short Story Collection

"Since its inception in the 19th Century photography has been a trusted source capturing both truth and reality. It cannot lie. Our eyes may deceive us, but the camera cannot. It is also an Art. Down through the decades this art has produced stunning images that literally capture a story whether it be in War photography, celebrity mishaps, even political downfalls and much else besides. In this volume whilst our classic authors are at the early edge of photography's development, they use it in ways that are both innovative and atmospheric as very often the camera and the photographer become a central part in many fascinating stories. 1 - Photography - A Short Story Collection - An Introduction 2 - Photography Extraordinary by Lewis Carroll 3 - Pickman's Model by H P Lovecraft 4 - The Eye of the Camera by Fred M White 5 - The Eidoloscope by Robert Duncan Milne 6 - Photographer and Philosopher by August Strindberg 7 - The Sapient Monkey by Headon Hill 8 - Behind the Curtain by Gertrude Barrows Bennett writing as Francis Stevens 9 - His Secret Sin by Aleister Crowley 10 - With Other Eyes by Luigi Pirandello 11 - His Dead Wife's Photograph by S Mukerji 12 - The Man With The Roller by E G Swain 13 - The Blue Laboratory by L T Meade 14 - The Hair by A J Alan"
