Mausoleum: A Ben Abbott Mystery

When the three-hundred-year-old village cemetery at Newbury, Connecticut, is invaded by a gaudy, half-million-dollar mausoleum, Ben Abbott is not happy. Newcomer Brian Grose’s tall, mirror-polished monument of eternal ego sticks out in the peaceful burial ground and has been nicknamed “McTomb” by the locals. But no one expected to find Grose’s body locked in his mausoleum fifty years ahead of schedule.

The agents from Homeland Security Immigration Criminal Enforcement descend and point the finger at Charlie Cubrero—an illegal immigrant, farmhand, and supposed gang leader—but Ben Abbott doesn’t buy it. He knows that half the town was mad at Grose. Besides, Ben has his own reasons for wanting to protect the hard-working Cubrero from a too-close scrutiny.

World's Shortest Stories of Love and Death, The (Short Story)

"This package (obviously unabridged!) demands instant listening. Stories of 55 words' length! What a literary challenge to present both plot and characters with ultimate conciseness. The three excellent readers attest admirably that it can be done, and with style. 55 words do indeed a story make, just as this review is composed of 55 words." - Kliatt

"As spoken audio, this tape demonstrates the creative possibility of the medium." - Publishers Weekly

"Listen & Live Audio has released a great road cassette... Like airline peanuts, try to "eat" just one." - Playboy

"Tiny gems!" - Billboard

The horrors of the Spanish Inquisition, with its dungeon of death, and the overhanging gloom on the House of Usher demonstrate unforgettably the unique imagination of Edgar Allan Poe. Unerringly, he touches upon some of our greatest nightmares - premature burial, ghostly transformation and words from beyond the grave. Written in the 1830s and 1840s, they have retained their power to shock and frighten even now.
