Concerned that technology is about to chase mythological creatures out into the open (how long can Sasquatch stay hidden from Google maps?), the League for Interspecies Cooperation is sending Jillian to Louisiana on a fact-finding mission.

They need a plan, so they look to Mystic Bayou, a tiny town hidden in the swamp where humans and supernatural residents have been living in harmony for generations.

Forty-eight of H.P. Lovecraft’s most important stories are brought together in this collection–available only from Audible–selected and with introductions by the award-winning, best-selling Lovecraft editor Leslie S. Klinger. Howard Philips Lovecraft was the early 20th-century genius who, almost singlehandedly, pioneered horror and scientific fiction, only to die in near-obscurity. Rediscovered by critics and scholars in the 1970s, Lovecraft’s work has influenced—by their own admission—every major horror or science-fiction writer of today.

Twenty years have passed since Darth Bane, reigning Dark Lord of the Sith, demolished the ancient order devoted to the dark side and reinvented it as a circle of two: one Master to wield the power and pass on the wisdom, and one apprentice to learn, challenge, and ultimately usurp the Dark Lord in a duel to the death. But Bane’s acolyte, Zannah, has yet to engage her Master in mortal combat and prove herself a worthy successor. Determined that the Sith dream of galactic domination will not die with him, Bane vows to learn the secret of a forgotten Dark Lord that will assure the Sith’s immortality - and his own.

Editor's Pick
"Nazis targeted NJ in the ‘30s. Newark fought back."
"As a New Jersey native, armchair historian, and someone who works in Newark every day, I probably should’ve known the inspiring story about the Minutemen in the 1930s. Pro-Nazi groups tried to recruit American immigrants, and enjoyed early, sinister success. A faction of Jewish mobsters, ex-boxers, students, and factory workers defended Jewish interests in Newark, led for a time by Nat Arno, the Minuteman of the title. Greg Donahue, a talented documentary storyteller, and Jonathan Davis—one of my favorite narrators—bring forgotten history to life with nuance and a hint of contemporary urgency. Who knew? Now we all do!"
