When the Women Come Out to Dance (Short Story)
When the Women Come Out to Dance
In this collection of new and recently published short fiction, Elmore Leonard demonstrates the superb characterizations, dead-on dialogue, vivid atmosphere, and driving plotting that have made him a household name.
Federal marshal Karen Sisco, from the bestselling novel Out of Sight, returns in "Karen Makes Out," once again inadvertently mixing pleasure with business. In "Fire in the Hole," Raylan Givens, last seen in Riding the Rap and Pronto, meets up with an old friend, but they're now on different sides of the law. In the title story, "When the Women Come Out to Dance," Mrs. Mahmood gets more than she bargains for when she conspires with her maid to end her unhappy marriage. In all nine stories -- each unique in their own right -- reluctant heroes and laid-back lowlifes struggle for power, survival, and their fifteen minutes of fame. And as always, the stories ring true with Leonard's signature deadpan social observations and diabolical eye for the foibles of the good guys and the bad.

Complete Ghost Stories of M.R.James, The - Part Two
A college clock strikes eleven on a winter’s evening in the historic university town of Cambridge at the end of the nineteenth century. In Dr James’s rooms a group of friends is gathered. A fire flickers in the grate while some of the guests help themselves to whisky from a decanter on the sideboard. Silently, James places a lighted candlestick by his chair, shuffles his papers a little, and begins to read...
This is how the classic ghost stories of M. R. James were presented to the world. For the first time, in this definitive, critically-acclaimed, four-part recording, are collected all of James’s published tales of ‘pleasing terror’.
The 6 stories featured in Part Two are: A School Story; The Stalls of Barchester Cathedral; The Rose Garden; The Tractate Middoth; Casting the Runes and Martin’s Close.

WordTheatre presents Love Hurts
WordTheatre presents Love Hurts Love Stories Recorded Live in Los Angeles, New York, and London, Produced and Directed by Cedering Fox
The first in WordTheatre's series, Love Hurts offers up four souls suffering from affairs of the heart. These stories by Steve Almond, Ron Carlson, Arthur Miller, and Pamela Painter will charm you, move you, and leave you wanting more.
In Steve Almond's "A Happy Dream," Christopher Gorham (Out of Practice, The Other Side of Heaven) plays a lovelorn, risk averse sous-chef who, when mistaken for a firefighter by a sassy young woman on a bicycle, quite uncharacteristically goes along for the ride.
In an achingly funny and poignant performance, Jeff Goldblum (Independence Day, Jurassic Park) portrays a thirteen year old who comes of age in the Brooklyn of long ago in Arthur Miller's not quite autobiographical short story "Bulldog," first published in The New Yorker, August 2001.
Academy Award® Winner Marcia Gay Harden (Pollock, Mystic River) slips elegantly into the role of a wife deeply in love with her dying husband on their last days together sailing the seas of literature in Pamela Painter's 2005 Pushcart Prize-winning story "Reading in His Wake," originally published in Ploughshares.
And BAFTA Film and Television Award winner Bill Nighy (Love Actually, State of Play) introduces a new Olympic sport as he battles his ex-wife for the gold medal in Ron Carlson's hysterical story "The Gold Lunch," first published in Ploughshares.
