    About this audiobook

    Fortune hunter Billy Newman is not a man of great strength or physical courage—he gets by on his wit, wiles and good looks. And he's had quite a good run—striking gold in the Philippines and buying his very own island in the South Seas.

    But there's trouble in paradise, and Billy's in the thick of it. The island's crops are failing. The island's people are dying. And the island's owner—Billy—is taking the heat. Why? Because he's angered the 75-foot-tall big-boss god of the island.

    75-foot tall? To Billy it's a laughable superstition—until he finds out just how serious the islanders are. They're out to sacrifice a beautiful young woman to the supposed god. The only way Billy can save her is to humor the locals and pretend to take the spirit on. But the joke may be on Billy…as he has to screw up some very real courage to face the very real Danger in the Dark.

    Includes the fantasy adventures The Room, in which Uncle Toby goes to his room, never to return, leaving it to his nephew to explore the magic and mystery of the place; and He Didn't Like Cats, the story of one man's feline phobia and the hauntingly high price he pays for it.

    L. Ron Hubbard

    With 19 New York Times bestsellers and more than 350 million copies of his works in circulation, L. Ron Hubbard is among the most enduring and widely read authors of our time. As a leading light of American Pulp Fiction through the 1930s and '40s, he is further among the most influential authors of the modern age. Indeed, from Ray Bradbury to Stephen King, there is scarcely a master of imaginative tales who has not paid tribute to L. Ron Hubbard. Then too, of course, there is all L. Ron Hubbard represents as the Founder of Dianetics and Scientology and thus the only major religion born in the 20th century.

      *I received a free copy of this audiobook from the publisher*I enjoy pulp fiction and appreciate its significance and influence in the science fiction and fantasy genres today. Danger in the Dark is a collection of three stories, and it is pulp at its finest -- just plain, good fun. As with any collection of short stories, there were some stories that I liked better than others, but there weren't any that I really disliked or hated, so that's a good thing. This was a quick listen and was simply a fun, entertaining collection of stories. The sequence of these stories also worked very well, since my least favorite was the first story, and my favorite was the last.The stories included in Danger in the Dark are short and sweet -- the best kind, in my opinion. A lot of action, drama, and suspense without having too much exposition to bog it all down. It's not a huge time investment, but it's good entertainment, which I appreciated.Galaxy Audio really went all-out for this production. I loved the full-cast performance and the added sound effects. I'm not the kind of person who generally likes sound effects in my audiobooks, but these were incredibly well done. They really added to the story and helped create drama and tension in all the right places. This is one short story collection that I don't think I would have liked as much in print. I would definitely recommend the audiobook version of this one.
