The war is over. Troy has fallen. Everyone else is heading home. Everyone except one man. Odysseus just wants to get back to his wife, his son, and his little rocky island of Ithaca.

Along the way there are monsters, witches, storms, shipwrecks, and gods who really can't decide whether they're helping him or ruining him.

Around the World in Eighty Days - Free 60 Minute Audiobook (TWIG74)
Picture a man so precise, so utterly ruled by the clock, that his servants can set their watches by his breakfast.

His name is Lemuel Gulliver, and every time he steps aboard a ship, something goes spectacularly wrong — storms, shipwrecks, being dumped on shores that appear on nobody's map.

And in every one of them, the locals have some very strange ideas about how the ...

A young English lawyer travels deep into the mountains of Eastern Europe to close a simple property deal with a wealthy client. The locals beg him not to go.

And when he finally arrives at the castle, he starts to realise that his host is not quite what he seems — and that the doors are locked from the inside. What follows spreads far beyond those mountains, reaching all the way to England, where a small group...
