In this allegorical short story, Nathaniel Hawthorne parodies John Bunyan’s famous book, The Pilgrim’s Progress. Rather than take the long and arduous road to the Celestial City, Hawthorne’s narrator hops on the express train to paradise. As he gets closer to his destination, however, he realizes that the clever-talking Mr. Smooth-It-Away may not be who he claims. While a caricature of Bunyan’s original tale, “The Celestial Railroad” ultimately drives home a similar point: there is no easy road to Heaven, so tough it out on the straight and narrow.

It was the eye. The dull, sightless, vulture's eye that shredded his final nerve. But the murder was done so carefully, so perfectly, that only one thing could reveal the whereabouts of the body. B. J. Harrison gives a masterful reading of the famous murder that wouldn't keep quiet. This audiobook was the #3 best-selling audiobook in 2008 at the iTunes Music Store!

Editorial Reviews

In "The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky", a classic story by Red Badge of Courage author Stephen Crane, excerpted from the More Classic American Short Stories collection, a Texan marshal returns to his home in the southwest with his new wife in tow, little knowing that an old enemy lies in wait with plans to do him harm. But Marshal Jack Potter’s new bride may disrupt gunman Scratchy Wilson’s revenge plot with her presence alone....

Husband-and-wife team Garrick Hagon and Liza Ross present this thrilling and humorous western, Hagon taking point with a particularly strong performance. His unique, mirthful voice and lively acting combine to paint a rich portrait of a long-gone period of American history.

Publisher's Summary

This is a story from the More Classic American Short Stories collection.

Here are eight stories from master American writers of the 19th century. They vary from sinister tales by Ambrose Bierce - why is that window boarded up? - and a reflective moment in the life of a woman without children, but forced to look after children, to classic short stories by O. Henry and Stephen Crane. There is even an elegiac description of an eclipse by James Fenimore Cooper, author of The Last of the Mohicans. Read with sensitivity and skill by Garrick Hagon and Liza Ross.
