Unabridged SF/Fantasy Pulp Adventure Story
1903
H G Wells was such a science fiction pioneer that he took all the great, archetypal titles (Think about it: The Time Machine, The War of the Worlds, The Magic Shop, etc.. You’d think he would have at least been generous enough to call it, say, “A Magic Shop,” allowing that Asimov or Heinlein might decades later want to write about another one.) So it goes with “The Valley of the Spiders.”
Three adventurers face danger, death, and giant spiders, all for the capture love of a woman, in this classic pulp adventure story. Read by Alex Wilson.

Unabridged Science Fiction Story
1976
“A haunting post-apocalyptic tale…”
–John Joseph Adams,
Locus
“…has been languishing unreprinted until this exceptional audio edition was released. Production value is high, the sound is exceptionally clear and the reading is lightly, and appropriately accented with music. Alexander Wilson’s reading is haunting and restrained, matching the mournful tone of this short story.”
In a post-catastrophe city, an old man seeks to recreate his past as a concert pianist. First published in the anthology “Beyond Tomorrow,” edited by Lee Harding. As reviewed in Locus and SFFAudio.
Read by Alex Wilson.
