This episode of The Bookshelf I review two books I listened to while I was trapped in the cubicle rat maze I call work. I really enjoyed them and they were a nice change of pace from romances and murder mysteries. Here's a bit about them and how to find them.
Super SF Double Feature: Lost Horizons Travel Agency and Suckers by Kevin Candela
Description:
From Kevin Candela's sf/fantasy/horror collection A Year in the Borderlands comes a pair of science-fiction adventures.
In "Lost Horizons Travel Agency", greedy corporate executive Melvik Joay of the not-too-distant future schemes to alter the past to his advantage by jumping ship when his "historical recreation cruise" takes him back to Borneo in the "ancient" year 1959. In "Suckers", a modern day horror epic, a hurricane dredges escaped black ops nightmare creatures up from the depths to prey on those trapped in the storm, including hard luck second story man Shake Knightly, who may actually have to become a decent human being if he hopes to survive.
Styled like a classic drive-in double feature, this pair of tales strives to evoke that beloved era and its associated feelgood emotions while still thrilling and frightening those willing to take the rides. Both stories are family-style entertainment with little foul language and virtually no "adult situations" - in other words, sheer all-ages fun.

Second Sight: The Decay by Jack Pierce
Description: Detective Levin is on a case to find the cause of an outbreak of mass murders in his hometown, Norcastle. His hometown was the first to fall. Entire cities have fallen one by one to The Decay. It's rumored that everyone that goes to Norcastle becomes insane.
Some believe “The Decay” is a virus spread by the government. Other’s speculate it was caused by Ravel’s cult members. Some even believe it’s a holy war that has broken out between the Cyrus & Ravel cults. The only thing for certain is no one is safe.
Don't trust anyone you meet! Everyone has their own agenda! Everyone is hiding something! Can Detective Levin solve the mystery before he falls victim to The Decay? Or will he become a murderer like all the others?
