What a Gem this book is!! (Short Stories/Plays)

I really enjoyed this book. It's an anthology of modern science fiction stories, each one unique, original and very clever.
Most are suitable for all ages, I listened to the first three again with my children. Some have adult content.
I especially loved the werewolf studies one and the Princess of Wittgenstein melodrama.
I didn't know what to expect and first thought it might be science fact and history as I read mostly non fiction.
Narrators/actors are also excellent.
I will look for more books by these authors.
