Lost Songs: The Hidden Stories: Book 5 of Maps in a Mirror Audiobook (Free)

This final collection in Orson Scott Card’s five-volume anthology of short works features the “hidden stories”, including his first published piece, some tales about Mormon family life and other stylistic departures, and several stories which were later developed into acclaimed novels such as Ender’s Game, Songmaster, Invasive Procedures, as well as the Tales of Alvin Maker series. Pay attention as Cards crafts a paranoid thriller, a spoof of “serious” contemporary books, an epic narrative poem, plus much more. Card includes background commentaries for each tale in his afterwords. Tales consist of: Ender’s Game; Mikal’s Songbird; Prentice Alvin as well as the No-Good Plow; Malpractice; Follower; Hitching; Damn Fine Novel; Billy’s Container; The Best HOUSE Evening Ever; Bicicleta; I Think Mom and Dad Are Going Crazy, Jerry; and Gert Fram.
