The Mysterious Stranger and Other Stories

Step into a world where innocence meets the infinite, and the everyday collides with the supernatural. The Mysterious Stranger and Other Stories represents Mark Twain at his most philosophical, daring, and haunting. Far removed from his lighthearted tales of riverboats and boyhood adventures, Twain here explores the mysteries of existence, morality, and the fragile nature of human belief.

Set in a secluded medieval Austrian village, the title story follows young Theodor Fischer and his friends as they encounter a mysterious visitor—an ethereal being calling himself “Satan.” What begins as childlike fascination soon spirals into a confrontation with unsettling truths about humanity, faith, suffering, and the illusions that bind us.

Alongside this profound tale, Twain’s accompanying stories further probe the absurdity, beauty, and cruelty of the world, blending satire, spirituality, and dark humor in only the way Twain can.

Narrated with thoughtful depth by Mike Polischuk, this audiobook invites listeners into a quiet, eerie, and unforgettable meditation on what it means to be human—seen through Twain’s final and most provocative lens.

Prepare for a journey that is mesmerizing, unsettling, and impossible to shake.
