Title: Proof of the Existence of God and an Afterlife.
Description:
"Bierhorst, R. G., Seera, B. L. and Jannifer, R. P. ‘Proof of the Existence of God and an Afterlife.’ Journal of Experimental Psychology. Volume 95, Spring, 2007, pages 32-36."
This story was first published in Asimov’s Science Fiction, August, 1998.
According to David Soyka, James Patrick Kelly's take on the God question seems to provide a more hopeful answer. His depiction of an otherwise exceptionally mundane psychological experiment that ends up with verifiable evidence proving the existence of God and an afterlife has the characteristics of a classic Twilight Zone episode.

Title: Ghost Stories of an Antiquary
Description:
Montague Rhodes James (1862-1936) was a medieval scholar; Provost of King’s College, Cambridge. He wrote many of his ghost stories to be read aloud in the long tradition of spooky Christmas Eve tales. His stories often use rural settings, with a quiet, scholarly protagonist getting caught up in the activities of supernatural forces. The details of horror are almost never explicit, the stories relying on a gentle, bucolic background to emphasise the awfulness of the otherworldly intrusions. “Ghost Stories of an Antiquary” was written as two collections, presented here as two volumes in a single work. There is a short author’s preface before the first story in each volume. License: Listen and Distribute

Title: A Tale of Two Cities
Description:
This audio book is a co-production between Literal Systems and Loudlit.org. This audio book has been very well produced and the narration is excellent.
'It was the best of times, it was the worst of times' A Tale of Two Cities, Dickens' only historical novel, sets personal happiness against the terrors of the French Revolution where the search for social justice sacrifices individual rights. Dr Manette has emerged from eighteen years' unjust imprisonment in the Bastille: by an ironic twist of fate, his daughter Lucie's marriage draws the family into a terrifying web of circumstance which, it seems, can only end in death by the guillotine.
