This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. In a reality where time flows backward, reconnaissance pilot Corvan Larkin’s advanced jet is consumed by an anomalous temporal distortion, plunging him into a world where history unwinds and causality reverses. He awakens to find his wounds un-healing and the world around him in a state of perpetual un-creation, where cause follows effect in a chilling, inverted ballet. Stranded and disoriented, Corvan discovers a civilization that has embraced this reversed existence, their lives dictated by the absolute foreknowledge of the Council, a governing body that maintains the Flow to protect humanity from a cosmic threat known as the Great Hunger. However, Corvan’s very linearity, his innate sense of forward-moving time, makes him an anomaly, a disruptive force that threatens the Council's rigid control. He finds unexpected allies in the form of Revessan dissidents, individuals who, like him, yearn for a future unwritten, for the freedom to choose, to create, and to experience genuine joy and sorrow. Together, they embark on a perilous quest to reach the Chronos Core, the heart of Revessa’s temporal paradox, seeking not to destroy it, but to recalibrate it, to forge a new equilibrium—a "layered Flow"—where existence is preserved, but choice is real, and the dawn of a true, unpredictable future can finally break over the Backward Sun.Zum Buch
The Willow Landscape - Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and narrated by Matthew Schmitz Clark Ashton Smith (January 13, 1893 – August 14, 1961) was an American writer and artist. He achieved early local recognition, largely through the enthusiasm of George Sterling, for traditional verse in the vein of Swinburne. As a poet, Smith is grouped with the West Coast Romantics alongside Joaquin Miller, Sterling, and Nora May French and remembered as "The Last of the Great Romantics" and "The Bard of Auburn". Smith's work was praised by his contemporaries. H. P. Lovecraft stated that "in sheer daemonic strangeness and fertility of conception, Clark Ashton Smith is perhaps unexcelled", and Ray Bradbury said that Smith "filled my mind with incredible worlds, impossibly beautiful cities, and still more fantastic creatures". Smith was one of "the big three of Weird Tales, with Robert E. Howard and H. P. Lovecraft", though some readers objected to his morbidness and violation of pulp traditions. The fantasy writer and critic L. Sprague de Camp said of him that "nobody since Poe has so loved a well-rotted corpse".[3] Smith was a member of the Lovecraft circle, and his literary friendship with Lovecraft lasted from 1922 until Lovecraft's death in 1937. His work is marked by an extraordinarily rich and ornate vocabulary, a cosmic perspective and a vein of sardonic and sometimes ribald humor. Of his writing style, Smith stated: "My own conscious ideal has been to delude the reader into accepting an impossibility, or series of impossibilities, by means of a sort of verbal black magic, in the achievement of which I make use of prose-rhythm, metaphor, simile, tone-color, counter-point, and other stylistic resources, like a sort of incantation."Zum Buch
