Daunted by the "great big books" of the Western canon? Looking for the same pleasures, satisfactions, and insights from books that are shorter, more accessible, and less dependent on classical references and difficult language than tomes such as Moby-Dick and Ulysses?

Zoë Frixos gets the whole love song thing. Truly, she does. As an editor at a major music magazine, it's part of her job description. But love? Let's just say Zoë's been a bit offbeat in that department. After falling hard for her best friend, Simon, at 13 and missing every chance to tell him how she felt before he left town, Zoë came to one grand conclusion: Love stinks. Twenty years later, Simon is returning to London, newly single and as charming as ever, and Zoë vows to take her second chance.

The Alternative Review for Skeptics is not just reviews of alternative films, music and books – though of that there will be plenty – it’s also a review of life’s more mundane or bizarre aspects, looking at them from an alternative point of view, with a healthy dose of skepticism. Due to the nature of your host, the episodes will also have dark humour, the potential for some sarcasm and some will have a more serious edge. No one is safe from the skepticism – you can run, but I doubt you can hide.

The Skeptic and the Central Park Ghost by Alexander Wilding is about a young banker who wants to scare his girlfriend into letting him stay the night. What he doesn’t know is that when he himself gets tricked into spending a night in Central Park, he finds the real reason why the park is closed at night. It’s not the hundreds of ghosts that haunt the park, like Jack the Ripper, who is trapped by a tree planted to contain his soul. No, it’s John Hardwick, the one ghost that all New Yorkers should fear, for their very lives may depend on what he shows them.
