Varney, Vampire, Vol 1 – 11 of 63
A Fantasy/Horror audiobook in 63 (quite short) parts. Written (probably) by T P Prest and read by various readers.
Preceding Bram Stoker’s Dracula by many years (it was created in the year of Stoker’s birth), this is the ‘Penny Dreadful’ tale subtitled the ‘Feast of Blood’. It starts with a woman bitten in her bed and a creature shot yet miraculously alive. It ends with the vampire cast into a volcano.
A book of the late 1800s it is a fascinating work that set the scene for many vampire tales to come.

She – Part 12 of 29
A Fantasy audiobook in 29 parts. Written by H. Rider Haggard and read by a variety of speakers.
An explorer and his son travel to Africa searching for a society detailed in a box they inherited. They find a lost race of people and a beautiful goddess, She who must be obeyed. Not great writing but a classic of it’s genre that has never been out of print and has sold almost a hundred million copies. It’s a great yarn and is based heavily on the author’s own experiences of Africa and colonialism (though be warned it is in many ways a product of it’s time).

Spacehounds of IPC – Part 12 of 13
A Science fiction audiobook in 13 parts. Written by E. E. ‘Doc’ Smith and read by Mark Nelson.
When the Inter-Planetary Corporation’s (IPC) crack liner ‘IPV Arcturus’ took off on a routine flight to Mars, it turned out to be the beginning of a unexpected and long voyage. There had been too many reports of errors in ship’s flight positions from the Check Stations and brilliant physicist Dr. Percival (‘Steve’) Stevens is aboard the Arcturus on a fact-finding mission to find out what?s really happening, and hopefully save the honor of the brave pilots of the space-liner Arcturus from the desk-jockeys’ in the Check Stations implications of imprecision – the nastiest insult you could cast at a ships pilot.
He and the pilots are right, it was the Check Stations that were out of position, not the ships. But that’s cold consolation because before the Arcturus reaches Mars it is attacked by a small, mysterious, globe shaped spaceship …
