  Animal Behaviour

  ***Highly Commended in the Ellipsis Zine Flash Collection Contest*** 
  A mother watches her son grow from a sweet child into a troubled adult... 
  A jilted lover finds hope one magical evening... 
  A cobbler breathes life back into a pair of lucky shoes... 
  Animal Behaviour titles each of its short stories with animal facts, but the experiences they describe are very much human. The cast of characters is diverse but the world they inhabit is universal: one in which all of us will recognise fragments of our own lives in some form, an echo of our shared humanity. 
  This second edition contains six new stories, unpublished anywhere else. 
  “Bold in voice, rich in metaphor, daring in approach, Animal Behaviour is a startling debut. In these very short tales, Amanda McLeod demonstrates an uncanny understanding of life and the living. By turns strange, beautiful, aching and transcendent, these stories and the humans how inhabit them will leave their mark on your mind and heart long past the final page. Highly recommended.” 
  —Kathy Fish, author of Wild Life: Collected Works from 2003-2018

  Title: The Damned Thing 
  Author: Ambrose Bierce 
  Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
  Original Publication: 1893 
  Public Domain: Yes 
  Series Placement: Number 13 in the Timeless Terrors series 
  Description: 
  The Damned Thing by Ambrose Bierce is a chilling tale of the unseen and the unknown. First published in 1893 in Tales from New York Town Topics, it presents the strange account of a man’s violent death and the mysterious force believed to be responsible. 
  Told through a coroner’s inquest, the story unfolds in stark fragments—testimony, diary entries, and grim observation—revealing hints of an invisible creature that moves through the natural world, stalking its prey. Bierce masterfully blends psychological dread with cosmic horror, leaving readers to confront the terrifying possibility of forces beyond human perception. 
  This recording, narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, captures the eerie tension and stark fatalism that defines Bierce’s writing. While the text is in the public domain, this performance is an original work and copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne. 
  Listeners should be prepared for a haunting meditation on mortality, fear, and the unseen horrors that may lurk just beyond the reach of human senses.

  Foreordained - From their pens...

  Anthony Hope

  Sir Anthony Hope Hawkins was born on 9th February 1863 in Clapton, London.  
  He was educated at St John's School, Leatherhead, Marlborough College and Balliol College, Oxford.  Hope trained as a lawyer and barrister and was called to the Bar by the Middle Temple in 1887. Despite what was thought to be a promising legal career he had literary ambitions and wrote in his spare time. 
  His early works appeared in various periodicals of the day but for his first book ‘A Man of Mark’ (1890), with no publisher interested, he published with his own resources.  
  More novels and short stories followed, including the mildly successful ‘Mr Witt's Widow’ in 1892. Hope even found time to run as the Liberal candidate for Wycombe in the election that same year but was unsuccessful. 
  His first major literary success came with ‘The Dolly Dialogues’, a collection of previously published magazine pieces followed very quickly by his instant classic, ‘The Prisoner of Zenda’. He now gave up the vestiges of his legal career to pursue writing full-time. 
  Despite never again reaching the same pinnacle of success he was popular and wrote prolifically across novels, plays and of course, short stories though his writing output rapidly diminished after the war. 
  In 1918 he was knighted for his contribution to propaganda efforts during World War I.  
  His short stories are delicate, mannered and often surprising with their wit, humour and interplay of characters who say one thing and usually mean another.  He was very definitely a writer of escapist rather than serious fare but they are no less enjoyable for that. 
  Anthony Hope died of throat cancer on 8th July 1933 at his country home, Heath Farm at Walton-on-the-Hill in Surrey. He was 70.

  The Law of Life

  Step into the snowy silence of the Arctic tundra and witness a profound meditation on aging, mortality, and the natural order in Jack London’s unforgettable short story, The Law of Life. 
  In this powerful work of literary fiction, London strips human existence to its elemental truths. We meet Koskoosh, an aged Inuit chief left behind by his tribe as they continue their journey across the unforgiving northern wilderness. Alone with only a small pile of firewood and his memories, Koskoosh reflects on his past, his people, and the inevitability of death. His observations are neither bitter nor sentimental—only honest, wise, and hauntingly beautiful. 
  Through this stark yet deeply human lens, London examines the laws that govern all life: survival, adaptation, and ultimately, acceptance of nature’s final verdict. This is not just a story of one man’s end—it is a philosophical exploration of life’s cycle, told in a voice both timeless and universal. 
  Narrated with quiet intensity and reverent tone, this full audiobook immerses listeners in London’s rich narrative style, blending existential insight, naturalistic detail, and emotional depth. It’s a literary experience that transcends the boundaries of time and culture, inviting you to consider your own place in the vast scheme of nature. 
  The Law of Life delivers a journey of introspection and connection with the primal forces that shape us all. 
  So sit back, breathe deep, and let the icy winds of Jack London’s prose carry you into the heart of the wilderness—and the soul of what it means to be alive.
