Alan Partridge meets The League Of Gentlemen. Directed by Edgar Wright and a young George Lucas... Bob Flint is a man with a dream. A dream of running his own bar, Bob?s Bar. The only trouble is, since he married Maggie Flint he hasn?t had any money, drive or ambition. So, after an horrendous accident with a whiskey bottle, Maggie goes into a coma and Bob discovers her secret life insurance policy just waiting to be collected. With money from local loan sharks ?The Bentleys? borrowed against his windfall, he sets to work making his dream a reality in Maggie's 24 Hour Launderette business 'In A Spin'. Things would have been great if it wasn?t for his outstanding drinking problem, lack of good business sense, haunting visits from his comatosed wife and police investigations into the suspicious circumstances surrounding her accident. To make matters worse The Bentleys are demanding their money back and Maggie simply won?t die. In fact, the doctors say she could make a miracle recovery. Bob Flint is a man with another dream. A dream of making it out of this one alive.

On Christmas Eve, a party of friends descends on a purportedly haunted country retreat, charged with the task of discovering evidence of the supernatural. Sequestered in their rooms for the holiday, the friends reconvene on Twelfth Night at a great feast and share their stories of spectral encounter. ?The Mortals in the House? by Charles Dickens provides the framework for the tales, which include two more of his own stories. Counting Elizabeth Gaskell and Wilkie Collins among its other contributors, The Haunted House examines quintessentially Victorian themes ? sex and longing, nostalgia and loss ? in ways that continue to resonate today. Ingeniously conceived and written, and spiked with flashes of Dickensian humor, this volume is a strange and sheer delight. 1: The Mortals in the House ? Charles Dickens 2: The Ghost in the Clock Room ? Hesba Stretton 3: The Ghost in the Double Room ? George Augustus Sala 4: The Ghost in the Picture Room ? Adelaide Anne Procter 5: The Ghost in the Cupboard Room ? Wilkie Collins 6: The Ghost in Master B?s Room ? Charles Dickens 7: The Ghost in the Garden Room ? Elizabeth Gaskell 8: The Ghost in the Corner Room ? Charles Dickens

Sometimes an offer is just too good to refuse, but when reluctant racer Axel Warlow returns to the Isle of Man TT he unleashes a series of events that threaten to change his life forever. In Perish and Chill, the second instalment of Axel's adventures, we find the wrongly hailed hero dodging the finger of suspicion and caught up in a team where the thrill is, for once, missing from the chase. Bringing the famous motorcycle festival into keen focus, we follow the race ace through a frantic fortnight until fate finally shows its hand. Will history repeat itself or can Axel conquer the mountain and grasp the opportunity of a lifetime?

Saki was the pen name of Hector Hugh Munro (December 18, 1870 - November 13, 1916), a British writer, whose witty and sometimes macabre stories satirized Edwardian society and culture. He is considered a master of the short story and is often compared to O. Henry and Dorothy Parker. His tales feature delicately drawn characters and finely judged narratives. This audiobook collects three more of his finest short stories: "The Elk" - The grandmother of Bertie Thropplestance is intent on making sure he marries the right woman, and it would seem that their tame elk would have a large part to play in the charade! "A Holiday Task" - a lady has lost her memory and acquires the help of Kenelm Jerton to help her eliminate all the possibilities from her inquiries. A bout of mischievous methods lead to a surprising conclusion. "The Schartz-Metterklume Method" - At a railway station, an arrogant and overbearing woman mistakes the mischievous Lady Carlotta for the governess she expected. Lady Carlotta, deciding not to correct the mistake, presents herself as a proponent of ""the Schartz-Metterklume method"" of making children understand history by acting it out themselves. She chooses a rather unsuitable historical episode for her first lesson.
