			<description><![CDATA[A collection of never-before-translated stories by the best-selling author of Suite Fran&ccedil;aise, this is a gorgeous, gemlike volume with the same attention to detail that won Ir&egrave;ne N&eacute;mirovsky so many fans. Written between 1934 and 1942, these ten stories mine the same terrain as her best-selling novels: a keen eye for the details of social class; the tensions between mothers and daughters, husbands and wives; the manners and mannerisms of the French bourgeoisie; and questions of religion and personal identity. Moving from the drawing rooms of pre-war Paris to the lives of men and women in wartime France, here is the beautiful work of a writer at the height of her tragically short career.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Before Gene Roddenberry and George Lucas, the science-fiction writers of the 1950s and 1960s were writing some of the hippest genre literature of the era. Here are three imaginative novellas from some of these pioneers of pulp science fiction.    Here are three more stories from the pioneers of the early days of pulp science fiction.    "Giants from Eternity" by Manly Wade Wellman    Young scientists Oliver Norfleet and his college buddy, Spencer DuPogue, are called by the Board of Science to investigate a mysteriously expanding red blight that is growing around the site of a meteor crash in Kansas. It swallows all in its path and has already caused many deaths and the disappearance of whole towns. Norfleet and DuPogue, with the help of the daughter of a famous scientist, soon discover that the blight is not only alive but almost indestructible. When their own abilities prove inadequate, the three are forced to turn to the greatest scientific minds of history for help, including Isaac Newton, Louis Pasteur, and other giants from eternity ? in the flesh! Norfleet and DuPogue and the giants from eternity must try to stop the blight before the entire earth is consumed.    "Lords of Atlantis" by Wallace West    Once, when Atlantis was ruled by the Titans, they were replaced by the red-skinned, red-haired Martians, Zeus, Hera, Athena, Aphrodite, and others. Teraf, prince of Hellas, was particularly struck by the changes Earth had wrought in Martians during the period of their rule. The rays of the earthly sun had burned their sensitive skin almost as black as those of Nubians, and to meet the stress of Terran gravitation, they had developed enormous muscles that sat poorly on their slender frames and gave them the deceitful appearance of strong men in a circus. The Afhas, those of mixed Martian and early parentage, apparently had absorbed the best traits of both. Like Teraf himself, all had blazing red hair and the slim grace of their Martian forebears, plus a better adaptation to their earthly conditions. But the Titans chafed under the so-called benevolent progress of their rulers, and they plotted rebellion.    "City on the Moon" by Murray Leinster    Life on the moon, under anything less than optimal conditions, had always been a nightmare, and as Joe Kenmore and his colleague Moreau drove back to the City on the Moon, on the day the Earth shuttle was due to land, the nearby mountain supporting critical elements of the shuttle's landing mechanisms crumbled, causing an avalanche and chaos. Optimal conditions were nowhere in sight that day as Kenmore and Moreau's investigations lead to their conclusion that explosions had been responsible for the avalanche. They realized that they were in a race against the clock to restore the landing beam before the shuttle had reached the "point of no return" prior to landing. Kenmore had more than strictly humanitarian reasons for wanting to prevent a mishap aboard the shuttle that day because on this particular mission, Arlene Gray was aboard. Kenmore had been anxiously awaiting her arrival, and amidst everything, Kenmore's love life also might hang in the balance.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Before Star Trek or Gene Roddenberry and before Star Wars and George Lucas, the science-fiction writers of the 1950s and 1960s were writing some of the hippest genre literature of the era. Here are three imaginative novellas from some of these pioneers of pulp science fiction.    Star Ways by Poul Anderson is an action-packed saga of the Nomads, space gypsies voyaging endlessly through the cosmos, and of Joachin of the starship Peregrine, who must act as both bait and trap for the deadliest foe the Nomads had ever known.    In George Henry Smith's Druids' World, a fantasy of a crumbling civilization with ties to King Arthur's era, a strong leader, Adam Max McBride, faces off with both a corrupt ruling class and horrible nonliving polymorphs in a battle to save the homeland.    In The Day the World Stopped by Stanton A. Coblentz, a U.S. president and his advisors plan to use the ultimate weapon in "preventive war" against Red China, while a young senator who tries to avert the calamity gets unexpected help from space visitors who offer him the use of their special powers.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Many kids claim to have seen ghosts in all sorts of places-cemeteries, bedrooms, attics, schools, roadways, forests, caves. Often, experts were called in to investigate these apparent hauntings, and most of the time these so-called experts walked away baffled. The only thing that everyone could agree on was that something very weird had happened, something that could never be fully explained.     This first book in Allan Zullo's popular Haunted Kids series is a collection of 11 creepy tales inspired by real-life cases taken from the files of noted ghost hunters. Do ghosts really exist? Well, you'll have to decide that for yourself after listening to:     The Devil's Garden   Grave Consequences   The Headless Trainman   The Secret of Room 333   The Home Wrecker    The Ghost of Slow Sam   The Baby-Sitting Ghost   The Scaredy Cats   The Thing in the Attic   The Warning   The Glowing Ball of Death     So, Turn Out the Lights, Turn up the Volume, and Turn Loose the Terror!]]></description>
