Torrent description

Theres something out there!!! This weeks Grab Bag pays homage to our furry, scaly and feathery friends and the prominent place they have in crime and thriller fiction. In their honor, I have chosen to fill this bag (which is 100% recyclable and animal friendly) with five excellent novels that feature a critter (or two) in the title.  Do the eponymous critters play significant roles in these books? Well, maybe in one, but for the most part, the author (or more likely, the editor) just shamelessly uses an animal persona to lend symbolic menace to the books title. To understand why they do this, try to imagine how odd it would be to go to a concert of Prokofievs Peter and a Menacing Presence in the Forest.  Not exactly a catchy or memorable name, is it?  But Peter and the Wolf?  Well, that speaks for itself.  So you see, animals often are essential elements to important works of art. As far as themes go, this may not be my best effort. It may even confuse people as to what is included, as happened with my ill-conceived choice to name one of my Grab Bags in German. I probably would have come up with a better one had I some Lagavulin 16, but that is single malt under the bridge.  Still, as far as book quality goes, these five are every bit as worthy as any that have found their way into other bags. So....grab this bag; read, read, read, read and read; and look forward to next weeks Grag Bag:[drum roll, please]Grab Bag of Death.   ___________________________________ If you are not already familiar with the grab bag concept, there are only a few rules: I never reveal the title or author.  That would ruin the surprise.   I  always include five different authors.  That will give you a nice diversity. If a book has appeared in a previous grab bag, it will not be selected for another.  This will insure that you are not getting duplicates. At least one--and sometimes more--of the books have not been posted on this site yet. This is my gift to you, to keep you coming back for more. If you enjoy the grab bag concept, you might want to check out these other compilations: Grab Bags Gals Grab Bag the Thirteenth Die grabschen Tasche (AKA The Grab Bag) Grab Bag, the Early Years Grab Bag: The Movie Grab Bags Revenge Bride of Grab Bag Son of Grab Bag Grab Bag   The books have been merged and remixed--to provide consistency and uniformity--using Goldwave v5.55 at 22,050 Hz sampling, 32 Kbps bit rate, single channel; with an MPEG 2 Layer III codec. The files have been tagged with Mp3tag v2.46.a and include cover art. For those of you who prefer books split into smaller files, I  recommend downloading Audacity.  It is free and easy to use.  With it, you can split files at user-defined intervals or at gaps that usually exist between chapters. It also allows you to fix files (remove hisses, pops, scratches, etc.), normalize them (have the volume, bass and treble set consistently, e.g.) and re-sample them. It gives you control over your listening experience.
