Sinopsis

Blood Collected Stories 
Winner of the 2016 Indie Book Awards (Short Stories) 
 
 
Noelle Q. de Jesus’ collection of short stories is a striking debut of cultural exchanges and foreign tongues: stories that trace and sustain the conflict between man and woman, parent and child, country and identity, self and sexuality, love and loss. 
 
"... De Jesus' characters inhabit a world of regret, loss and unfulfilled longing. In these works, there is as much said in the silences and ellipses, as there are in the fraught, perfunctory exchanges. ... De Jesus' economy of words and her voice, bleak and spare, yet intimate, recalls the virtuosity of short story fiction masters, such as Lorrie Moore and Edith Pearlman." 
-The Straits Times 
 
“At the start of each compact narrative in this collection, Noelle Q. de Jesus places a cunning tiger of thrilling tension ready to spring. Thematically cogent, these stories are about the lives of the displaced" 
-Michael Carroll, Author of Little Reef and Other Stories, Lambda Literary Award Winner 2015 
 
“Carefully crafted and richly observed, these stories are filled with unforgettable women" 
-F.H. Batacan, Author of Smaller and Smaller Circles

"Before she tried to be a good woman she had been a very bad woman—so bad that she could trail her wonderful apparel up and down Main Street, from the Elm Tree Bakery to the railroad tracks, without once having a man doff his hat to her or a woman bow. You passed her on the street with a surreptitious glance, though she was well worth looking at—in her furs and laces and plumes. She had the only full-length mink coat in our town, and Ganz's shoe store sent to Chicago for her shoes. Hers were the miraculously small feet you frequently see in stout women. 
For she owned the House with the Closed Shutters, near the freight depot—did Blanche Devine".

Here is one of twelve magnificent stories, originally part of The John Cheever Audio Collection, in which John Cheever celebrates—with unequaled grace and tenderness—the deepest feelings we have. 
As Cheever writes in his preface, ""These stories seem at times to be stories of a long-lost world when the city of New York was still filled with a river light, when you heard the Benny Goodman quartets from a radio in the corner stationery store, and when almost everybody wore a hat.""

Be careful what you wish for… 
The Monkey’s Paw by W.W. Jacobs is one of the most chilling and enduring tales of supernatural horror ever written. First published in 1902, this short story explores the terrifying consequences of tampering with fate. When an old family receives a magical monkey’s paw—an object that grants its owner three wishes—they soon learn that every gift comes at a dreadful cost. 
As suspense builds and wishes are made, Jacobs masterfully draws listeners into a dark atmosphere of dread and inevitability. With gothic overtones, sharp dialogue, and a slow-building sense of terror, The Monkey’s Paw remains a classic of macabre fiction and moral consequence. 
This full audiobook brings the haunting tale to life with rich, atmospheric narration that will captivate fans of horror, gothic fiction, and classic short stories. Ideal for listeners who enjoy unsettling narratives with a psychological edge.
