McSweeney’s Mammoth Treasury Thrilling Tales by Michael Chabon
Requirements: .MP3 reader, 204 mb
Overview: The roster includes such heavyweights as Michael Crichton, Stephen King, Elmore Leonard, Nick Hornby and Harlan Ellison. As the retro title might suggest, the collection is heavy on sci-fi and detective stories, often updated with contemporary twists. Crichton offers a detective yarn called “Blood Doesn’t Come Out,” in which a disgruntled PI takes out his frustration on his wife in a cheeky spin on the domestic violence that punctuates the pulp fiction of Jim Thompson and James A. Cain. Hornby’s contribution is an entertaining sci-fi story called “Otherwise Pandemonium,” about a man who buys a VCR that fast-forwards into an apocalyptic future. In Rick Moody’s “The Albertine Notes,” a debilitating drug called Albertine wreaks havoc by sending users back in time to relive their memories. Dave Eggers’s “Up the Mountain Coming Down Slowly” is a thoughtful story in which a woman climbs Kilimanjaro to bolster her self-confidence after experiencing a personal crisis, but proves oblivious to the deaths of three porters when the weather on the mountain turns ugly. Half a dozen or so stories are markedly slight, but overall this is a strong collection.
