  "Poised between melancholy and yearning, this wry, moving, and beautifully crafted collection of stories is a rich and multilayered meditation on aloneness in all its complex shades and metamorphoses." – Tristan Hughes
  "A powerful and poetic new voice in the art of storytelling." – Selçuk Altun
  From Özgür Uyanık, novelist and film director, comes a debut collection of audacious, darkly wry and compassionate short stories. Driven by universal themes of desire, mortality, loss and yearning, each story evokes both the melancholy and the hope inherent in all stages of life, from childhood through to maturity.
  Artists, writers, lovers, killers: all types of men walk these pages, along the streets of Cardiff, İstanbul, London, Paris, Odesa and Lisbon. All seeking to find a way to belong in the world.
  Men Alone is a meditative vision from a unique voice that explores the many – often confounding – permutations of modern masculinity.

  Title: The Call of Cthulhu 
  Author: H. P. Lovecraft 
  Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
  Original Publication: 1928 
  Public Domain: Yes 
  Series Placement: Number 34 in the Timeless Terrors series 
  Description: 
  The Call of Cthulhu by H. P. Lovecraft is the cornerstone of cosmic horror — a vast and terrifying revelation that humanity is but a fleeting whisper beneath the gaze of ancient, indifferent gods. Told through fragmented reports, journal entries, and the haunted memories of those who have glimpsed forbidden truths, it weaves a chilling investigation into the cult of Cthulhu — a monstrous being sleeping beneath the Pacific, whose awakening would end all that we know. 
  Lovecraft constructs his myth through suggestion and implication, blending mystery, anthropology, and existential terror into a narrative that expands horror beyond the human scale. This is not merely a story of monsters, but of meaning undone — where sanity erodes in the face of incomprehensible reality. 
  Narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author  Jonathan Dunne, this performance captures the story’s investigative tension and creeping dread — the inexorable uncovering of truths too vast for the mind to hold. While the text itself is in the public domain, this narration is an original performance and copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne. 
  Part of Timeless Terrors, a series devoted to resurrecting the masters of the macabre, The Call of Cthulhu stands as Lovecraft’s defining vision — a tale of cosmic insignificance, ancient worship, and the terrible awakening of what should forever sleep. 
  Prepare for a descent into madness, mystery, and myth — where knowledge itself is the most dangerous horror of all.

  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.
