    "well, that's just the way it is..." 
    sometimes when everything seems at 
    its worst 
    when all conspires 
    and gnaws 
    and the hours, days, weeks 
    years 
    seem wasted-- 
    stretched there upon my bed 
    in the dark 
    looking upward at the ceiling 
    I get what many will consider an 
    obnoxious thought: 
    it's still nice to be

    The audiobook of Tim Key's least ambitious project to date. A slim book of the crap he’s been churning out over the past eighteen months.  
    Poems about men getting stuck in webs, poems about the ancient city of Canterbury, poems about canoodling with a rose.  
    A prolific sod, he’s selected ninety of his trademark vignettes and packed them off to Emily Juniper for her to fling onto pages and shape into a book.  
    Discussions ensued about what, if anything, the point of it all was, and a healthy debate as to whether it should be broken up into chapters and, if so, why. All of these discussions are documented in the leftover space around the poems. The result is a splurge of words which very occasionally shine a light on modern times.  
    It is the third book Tim and Emily have generated together. 
    Chapters by Tim Key. 
    Read by Tim Key with Katy Wix as Emily Juniper. 
    Produced, recorded and edited by Naomi Parnell. 
    Executive producer is Ben Williams.

    Step into a world of shadow and sorrow with this haunting audiobook performance of The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe, brought vividly to life by Salvatore Giuseppe Sichi. With a voice that captures both the fragility and descent of the poem’s tormented narrator, Sichi delivers a deeply atmospheric reading that draws listeners into every whispered “Nevermore.” 
    Enhancing the experience is an original Spanish guitar score, also performed by Sichi, weaving a rich emotional undercurrent throughout the narration. The delicate, melancholic melodies echo the poem’s themes of loss, longing, and madness, creating a hypnotic fusion of spoken word and music. 
    This immersive interpretation transforms Poe’s classic into a cinematic auditory journey—perfect for late-night listening, lovers of gothic literature, or anyone seeking a powerful and evocative storytelling experience.
