  There is something about the number 3.    
   
  The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
   
  Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
   
  Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating. 
   
  From their pens to your your ears.

  Kaelynn's Tale - Heir of...

  Most people know me as Kaelynn Carroll, Theo’s fiancée, and curator of the New York Museum of Art. A name that appears on plaques and donor lists. A woman associated with common sense, climate‑controlled halls, and objects stored safely behind glass. 
  What they don’t know—what very few can see—is the thing that stirs beneath that name, that surface A monster of hunger and anger, a sickness passed down like an inheritance. A Pandora’s Box buried so deep even I believed it could be forgotten. 
  It began simply enough. A routine trip to Britain to catalog a sixteenth‑century collection of art and antiques, the familiar quiet of history waiting to be labeled and filed away. I had no reason to think this would be anything other than work. 
  I was wrong. 
  Between the darkness beneath that museum and the long flight home, something escaped. Time was stripped. Memory resurfaced. I lived another life, another reality, one that ran parallel to my own like a shadow cast by a different sun. 
  And in my ignorance, in my certainty that I was in control, I opened a door that never should have been opened. 
  Whatever had been buried there, whatever had waited centuries for a careless hand like mine, it followed me back, took root. And now it burns beneath my skin like a raging fire, a hunger out of control, urging to be set free. 
  And all the King’s horses and all the King’s men could not quench the terrible darkness that rages within…

  A NEW YORK TIMES EDITOR'S CHOICESixty years after the publication of his first novel, Cat Man, Edward Hogland is publishing his twenty-fifth book at the age of eighty-three. This capstone novel, set in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom, introduces Press, a stockbroker going blind. Press has lost his job and his wife and is trying to figure out his next move, holed up in his Vermont cabin surrounded by a hippy commune, drug runners, farmers-gone-bust, blood-thirsty auctioneers, and general ne'er-do-wells. Solace and purpose come from the unlikeliest sources as he learns to navigate his new landscape without sight. Hoagland, himself, is going blind, and through this evocative, unsentimental novel, we experience the world closing in around Press, the rising panic of uncertainty, the isolation of exile, the increasing dependence upon the kindness of strangers, and a whole new appreciation of the world just beyond sight.

  This audio compilation has been made with love for anyone wanting to immerse themselves in the world of Urdu stories but may find it difficult to read the script. 
  Featured authors include legends like Ismat Chughtai of the ‘Taraqqii Pasand Tehreek’ (Progressive Writer’s Movement), one of the first Muslim women to write boldly about subjects such as sexuality in the 1940’s; Munshi Premchand, a Hindu writer born in 1880, who was a pioneering figure in both Hindi and Urdu short fiction and wrote on topics such as caste, which were marked by sociopolitical and religious sensitivities; Sa’adat Hassan Manto, who belonged to both Bombay & Lahore and wrote about the partition that resulted in the nations of India and Pakistan, known for stories that showed a mirror to society regardless of the discomfort caused by stark reflections; Rajinder Singh Bedi, a versatile short fiction, novel, and film writer who also amplified the social issues of rurality as they dovetailed with national and metropolitan life; Ghulam Abbas, a novelist and short fiction writer interested in bringing to light the many ironies of modernity; Noon Meem (“NM”) Rashid, a groundbreaking modernist poet who wrote primarily in free verse, exploring contrasting relationships such as those between language & meaning and self & society; Asad Muhammad Khan, whose short fiction weaves his rich life experiences into commentaries on topics such as family life and class relations; and Intizar Hussain, who was arguably the most significant Urdu literary prose writer of the contemporary era, painting epics of migration and nostalgia on an intergenerational canvas. 
  Our narrator, Mr. Zia Mohyeddin, perhaps more than any other single figure in modern times, has shaped an appreciation for Urdu literature by making it accessible in masterfully emotive and lucid audio performances to generations of listeners who may have otherwise remained deprived of such learning and aesthetic pleasure.

  Possessive Series Book 1, Tyron Zapanta 
  BY C.C. 
  “Every part of me is in 
  love with you.” 
  Tyron Zapanta is one of the most sought-after bachelors in town. But aside from his devilishly and handsome looks, he is a one-woman kind of guy. He doesn’t do cheating and flings. Pero nasubukan ang paniniwalang iyon nang dumating ang kinakapatid niyang si Raine. 
  When Tyron saw Raine’s heart-shaped face, argentine eyes and sweltering lips, he forgot all his beliefs. Ang gusto na lang niya ay ang mahalikan ang babae at ang maangkin ito. At sa isang iglap, parang naging madali para kay Tyron na kalimutan ang paniniwala niya …
