NEWARK, NJ – June 28, 2023 – Audible, Inc., the leading creator and provider of premium audio storytelling, today announced a new scripted science-fiction comedy Third Eye, written and created by actor, producer, writer and streamer, Felicia Day (The Guild, Geek & Sundry) and featuring author Neil Gaiman (The Sandman) as The Narrator.

Third Eye tells the story of Laurel (Felicia Day), a “Chosen One” wizard still grappling with the fallout of failing a decade earlier in her fight with the ultimate evil Tybus (Christopher Judge). Day will write and star in the project, as our heroine is forced to overcome her tattered reputation and self-loathing in order to save her friends, eventually uncovering shocking secrets on the way toward re-confronting old enemies. The series takes listeners on a comedic ride, with one-of-a-kind characters including Kate Chen (LilyPichu), a quirky, teenage human girl on a quest for knowledge about the supernatural world; Frank Fletcher (Sean Astin), a cranky, stubborn vampire; Robigus (Wil Wheaton), the local San Francisco enforcer for Tybus the Terrible and a constant thorn in the side for Laurel; and Sybil (London Hughes), an exiled Faerie princess in her 20s who exemplifies “hot mess.” With a storyline written as a love letter to the fantasy genre, listeners can expect an abundance of iconic geek and gaming culture Easter eggs cleverly woven throughout the series.

A Fastball for Freedom by Gary Morgenstein - Available 3/25/21

A War-weary 22nd Century World Turns to Baseball, Robots, and Faith in
A FASTBALL FOR FREEDOM by Gary Morgenstein


Gary Morgenstein, a native New Yorker and die-hard Yankee’s fan, combines his love of dystopian, science fiction, and baseball in his latest release, A Fastball for Freedom, the follow-up to his critically acclaimed novel A Mound Over Hell.

Set in 2098, twenty-five years after America has been defeated by Islam, the country is no longer a great democracy or a world power. Society is now run by the Family, and almost everything is illegal, including social media. In a robot- and hologram-run world, the fading game of baseball, once the national pastime, is now synonymous with treason, and represents the world’s last hope for peace.

Baseball historian Puppy Nedick is back, on the run from the government that lists him and his friends as traitors. Challenged by weaponized religion and a new Family figurehead, Puppy will stop at nothing to fight against the new regime as he and his friends struggle to survive in a hate-ravaged planet and avoid a final cataclysmic global conflict.

BHC Press To Publish Gary Morgenstein's New Novel A Mound Over Hell

BHC Press To Publish Gary Morgenstein’s Provocative New Novel A MOUND OVER HELL

GARY MORGENSTEIN: Why did you write a science fiction-baseball novel?

Baseball and science fiction are two of my great loves, along with being a political junkie and a history buff. Combining baseball and science fiction is very rare, although all the sci-fi peeps point out there was an episode on “Deep Space Nine.” I don’t want to claim my novel is the first, but it certainly re-imagines the genre. Since baseball is so old-fashioned, science fiction writers don’t think it’ll make the cut into the future As a lifelong baseball fan (the Yankees are my team), I wanted to turn things upside, making baseball represent what America once was – for which it is reviled and accused of treason. The beauty of writing speculative fiction is you build upon existing events and take them to that next terrifying, thought-proving level, like Orwell’s 1984 or Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451, along with a healthy dose of Philip K. Dick such as The Man in the High Castle and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep. The greatness of science fiction is asking “What if?”. So what if the current conflict with Islam went horribly south and America actually lost World War Three to an ISIS-clone?
