Sinossi

"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.

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.

Let Loose

Mary Cholmondeley

Title: Let Loose 
Author: Mary Cholmondeley 
Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
Original Publication: 1890 
Public Domain: Yes 
Series Placement: Number 39 in the Timeless Terrors series 
Description: 
Let Loose by Mary Cholmondeley is a tale of forbidden curiosity and ancestral dread — a Gothic masterpiece that fuses the haunted past with the peril of modern discovery. First published in the late Victorian era, it stands as one of the most unsettling explorations of the supernatural in English fiction. 
When an architect is summoned to restore a decaying abbey, he unwittingly disturbs a tomb long sealed — and unleashes a terror bound by sacred warning. Cholmondeley’s story unfolds with elegant restraint and rising unease, revealing that the boundaries between the living and the dead are more fragile than reason admits. 
Narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance captures the tale’s chilling atmosphere — the echoing corridors, the whisper of desecrated dust, and the growing certainty that some doors, once opened, can never again be closed. While the text 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, Let Loose stands as a warning from the past — that reverence ignored and curiosity unchained can awaken horrors best left entombed.

Fallen Palm - A Jesse McDermitt...

Wayne Stinnett

Jesse McDermitt lives alone on an isolated island in the Florida Keys where he runs a charter fishing business. Retired from the Marine Corps for six years, he wants nothing more than to relax, fish, dive and enjoy the laid back lifestyle of the islands. 
Russ, his former Platoon Sergeant and old friend, dies unexpectedly in a mysterious scuba diving accident and Jesse becomes suspicious. When his friend's son comes to south Florida to ask Jesse if he would take him to a remote reef to spread his father's ashes, the two men discover that Russ was murdered and agree to hunt down the psychotic killer together, unaware that their manhunt will lead them to a Caribbean terrorist cell. 
Meanwhile, a beautiful woman has returned to the Keys on a manhunt of her own, distracting Jesse with the idea that he could finally leave his warrior past behind. The prospect of finding lost Confederate gold, several high speed boat chases, and dodging demented killers, won't stop Jesse from revenge. Surviving a powerful hurricane puts everything on hold as a top secret government agency tries to recruit him into their fold. 
When the sun comes back out, will Jesse be ready?
