Book Descriptions:

If I Were You: Circus midget Little Tom Little learns from a book on black magic how to switch bodies. When he jumps into the body of the lion tamer, he finds himself caught in the center ring surrounded by dozens of savage cats and quickly realizes that his craving for height just may have led him to a gruesome death. Performed by: R.F. Daley (narrator), Nancy Cartwright, Corey Burton, Jennifer Darling, Lynsey Bartilson, Phil Proctor, Jim Meskimen, and John Mariano.

Danger in the Dark: Billy Newman has newly purchased a South Seas island only to discover it’s haunted by the giant shark-god Tadamona. Unfortunately the sharp-toothed entity wants more than ritual sacrifice; it’s bent on destroying the entire island unless Billy battles it out like David (without the slingshot) versus Goliath! Performed by: R.F. Daley (narrator), Karen Black, Jim Meskimen, Noelle North, Christina Huntington, and Gino Montesinos.

The Professor Was a Thief: A down-on-his-luck reporter needing a big story—finds one when the Empire State Building, Grant’s Tomb, and Grand Central Station disappear. A professor is behind it all who, rather than inventing a means of blowing things up, is doing quite the opposite. Performed by: R.F. Daley (narrator), Jim Meskimen, Tamara Meskimen, Bob Caso, John Mariano, and Tait Ruppert.

The Crossroads: Farmer Eben Smith heads off to the big city to trade his wagonload of produce. But he barters a lot more than goods after he stumbles across a crossroads in time, bargains with different cultures in alternate realities, and accidentally wreaks havoc and chaos in each. Performed by: R.F. Daley (narrator), Edoardo Ballerini, Jennifer Darling, Corey Burton, Jim Meskimen, Enn Reitel, Kristin Proctor, and Michael Yurchak.

The Tramp: Doughface Jack acquires phenomenal mental powers after a brain operation—now he can instantaneously heal, make the old young, or kill. Goaded by a vengeful and beautiful woman, Doughface is propelled headlong towards the ultimate seat of power! Performed by: R.F. Daley (narrator), Jim Meskimen, Bob Caso, Tamra Meskimen, and Tait Ruppert.
