About this listen
A collection of four critically acclaimed, gripping short novels that delve into the depths of survival, obsession, and the dark side of human nature.
Box of BonesJim, an American expat teaching English in the Philippines, wakes up after a night out to find himself trapped inside a pitch-black coffin—running out of oxygen and out of time. With only his cell phone and his wits, he must fight panic and exhaustion in a desperate race against death.
Six BulletsThirteen months after a massive asteroid wiped out civilization, survivalist Burt James is still alive—bunkered in his fortified home deep in the Australian Outback. But now, his food is gone, his ammunition is down to six bullets, and his toughest decision yet is fast approaching.
The MailmanLos Angeles, 1985. The Sunset Strip is the epicenter of sex, drugs, and rock ’n’ roll, and record executive Mick Freeman is betting his career on signing a reckless band that could redefine music. Meanwhile, his wife, Jade, lonely and adrift in their crumbling marriage, finds herself drawn to the new mailman—a dangerously seductive stranger who pulls her into a nightmare she never saw coming.
Re-RollIn the near future, lifelike humanoid robots called Mechs are on the market, programmed to be whatever their owners desire—partners, companions, or servants. Each new Mech comes with a free "roll" to determine its three defining traits. But as everyone knows, luck is fickle, and if you don’t like your first result, you can always re-roll—if you’re willing to pay the price.

Author's Note: This book was previously published under the title The Taste of Fear. Given that the story takes place deep in the Congo jungle, a truly terrifying place, I decided it would be a good fit with the World's Scariest Places series. In the jungle, no one can hear you scream. American movie star Scarlett Cox and her husband, hotel tycoon Salvador Brazza, head to Africa to get away and resuscitate their ailing marriage. When robbed of their money and passports, they seek help from the U.S. Embassy in Dar es Salaam on the very day Al Qaeda chooses to bomb it. In an eyeblink they are...

Just outside of Tokyo lies Aokigahara, a vast forest and one of the most beautiful wilderness areas in Japan...and also the most infamous spot to commit suicide in the world. Legend has it that the spirits of those many suicides are still roaming, haunting deep in the ancient woods. When bad weather prevents a group of friends from climbing neighboring Mt. Fuji, they decide to spend the night camping in Aokigahara. But they get more than they bargained for when one of them is found hanged in the morning - and they realize there might be some truth to the legends after all.
