• C.S. Montanye's "A Shock for the Countess", performed by Fionnula Flanagan - Intrigue in the alps in this clever tale of a jewelry heist
• Ed McBain's, "Improvisation", performed by Isaiah Sheffer - A hilarious story of two tall and willowy sisters up to no good
• Shirley Jackson's "The Summer People", performed by René Auberjonois - Spooky goings-on at a country cottage
• Nobel Prize-winner Nadine Gordimer's "Country Lovers", performed by Hattie Winston - Forbidden love on a South African farm
• Louise Erdrich's "Gleason", performed by Robert Sean Leonard - A simple plot goes terribly awry
