And by strange I mean odd, weird, kinda creepy and yet wonderful. Not your normal Science Fiction here but then Leiber had an amazing imagination and these certainly made me stretch mine. 1 - Pipe Dream 2 - X-Marks the Pedwalk 3 - Later Than You Think Bullet With His Name Read by Paul Hampton Running Time:01:17:33 in 1 MP3 Audio CD In "Bullet with His Name," two alien beings have come to give gifts to an Earthman. But this is not altruism; it is, rather, a test. "The fate of his race hangs on his reactions to [the gifts]." And one of the aliens mentions that he himself is "a sort of snake." The gifts do not include an apple from the Tree of Knowledge, but they might be just as likely to lead mankind astray. Conjure Wife Read by Ben Tucker Running Time:05:19:21 in 1 MP3 Audio CD Norman Saylor is a logical, practical fellow with a bright future at the college he teaches at and a loving wife who supports him in every way possible. His reality is about to be shattered when he discovers that his wife Tansy has secretly been practicing witchcraft in order to protect him and further his career. After this shocking discovery, he forces Tansy to get rid of all the charms and totems she has cultivated throughout the years. What Norman doesn't realize is that other women are conspiring against him and were awaiting just such an event to unleash Hell upon he and Tansy, body and soul. Destiny Times Three Read by Ben Tucker Running Time:03:44:30 in 1 MP3 Audio CD Thorn and Clawly seek to present to the World Executive Committee some most disturbing findings, findings that indicate that we may not be alone within the nexus of realities, that there could be other worlds existing parallel to our own, springing forth from a specific point in time. That in and of itself may not constitute a significant problem, but what if one of these worlds was not content with their lot in life and were organizing a secret invasion into our utopian reality?

For one thing, why did they have spacemen costumes in their wardrobes,next to caveman ones? Why was the girl in charge of backstage suffering from amnesia and agoraphobia? No Great Magic is needed to perform the plays they put on, but sometimes great science. No matter where, or when. The 64-Square Madhouse Read by Phil Chenevert Running Time:01:39:25 in 1 MP3 Audio CD A machine of blinking lights and smelling of ozone is entered into a Grand Master chess tournament. One of the first of those things called computers. Would it be shamed by human genius or would it out think these human prodigies through sheer calculating power? Well, the machine was not perfect. It could be tricked. It could make mistakes. And—it could learn!

The US has decided to move underground for protection from bombs and snooping and society in this future age is happy living there. Everyone lives underground! Well, except for the odd balls and weirdos who insist on staying topside. Gusterson is one of these quirky ones. He is milked for new ideas by the less inventive 'moles' as he calls them. One of his ideas is taken and despite his warnings, turns into a monster indeed; something that can and does control people. Listen and hear of the horror of the 'TICKLER!" The Green Millennium Read by Rich Brown; Jessica Martin; Aric Reed; Britany Flether; Mike O'Brien; Christine Rottger; Chad Jackson; Francesco F; Mira Williams; Jay S; Roger Melin and Harley James Running Time:06:47:54 in 1 MP3 Audio CD From the classic science-fiction and fantasy author Fritz Leiber comes this intriguing tale of a green cat. From the author's introduction: "The world Phil Gish lived in was not a pretty one, and Phil didn't enjoy living in it. He was disillusioned, purposeless, hopeless, and haunted by the fear that a robot would take over his job. But then Phil was a timid person, not much given to adventure seeking. If he hadn't been so mild he might have found his kicks at All Amusements, the syndicated playground where anyone could find fun, providing he had the proper sadistic and otherwise aberrated elements in his personality. But Phil was good—and bored. And then one day a cat perched on his window—not an ordinary cat—a green cat. For the first time in years Phil was happy. He promptly named the cat Lucky because he somehow knew that as long as the cat stayed with him he'd feel fine. But Lucky didn't stay long. In a matter of minutes he had disappeared into All Amusements park. It was then that Phil became involved in a grotesque world, peopled with the most extraordinary personalities. Just what the cat is and its ultimate meaning is the secret of it all. You will be surprised." The Night of the Long Knives Read by Phil Chenevert Running Time:3:20:23 in 1 MP3 Audio CD "I was one hundred miles from Nowhere—and I mean that literally—when I spotted this girl out of the corner of my eye. I'd been keeping an extra lookout because I still expected the other undead bugger left over from the murder party at Nowhere to be stalking me." In a Post apocalyptic world, the few people left must be strong. And must not hesitate to kill. Of course, killing another Deathlander was one of the chief pleasures and urges of all the solitary wanders in this vast wasteland. Kill and kill again. But this other was a girl and that brought up the second great urge: sex. Which was it to be today? Perhaps both? And who would walk away afterward? Three Science Fiction Stories by Fritz Leiber Read by Phil Chenevert Running Time:01:39:18 in 1 MP3 Audio CD The Moon is Green, Bread Overhead and What's He Doing In There?! Three of the best known and loved Science Fiction short stories by the wonderful Fritz Lieber.
