  • "The Crystal Crypt" by Philip K. Dick
    Apr 4 2025

    I love a good Sci-Fi story and Mr. Dick is one of the best. He was kind enough to allow some of his writing to be in the public domain upon his death. Perhaps he did this because he always saw the bigger picture. The importance of telling stories warning about possible futures if we are not paying attention. The importance of paying attention, now more than ever. This story has it all: Space ship, Martians, truth detector and an ultimate weapon. What more would one want from a great Sci-Fi story? Enjoy!

    This is a fun ghostly tale of unsettling encounters by a school inspector in the north of England. Edwards was an extremely talented woman exploring all the arts including painting and singing as well as writing. She also explored Egypt. She was known as the Godmother of Egyptology. She toured the US lecturing on Egypt and even contributed to the Encyclopedia Britanica on the subject of Egyptian Archeology. Enjoy!

  • "The Judge's House" by Bram Stoker
    Oct 29 2024

    I know it’s been awhile since I gave you anything new. But you must know by now, that I love a good horror story! I couldn’t resist taking the time to record this one for your Spooky Season enjoyment. Did you know that Bram Stoker stole, and married, Oscar Wilde’s girlfriend? And even though Oscar was not happy about it, they remained friends. They met at school where Bram studied Mathematics. This story is about a student of mathematics that steals away to study uninterrupted in a far away town. It is said to be one of the best English ghost stories ever. Oh, and, trigger warning… if you don’t like rats, don’t listen to this one.
