Summary

In "The Hound From The North," Ridgwell Cullum crafts a gripping narrative that intertwines elements of adventure and the brutality of the natural world. Set against the backdrop of the Canadian wilderness, Cullum's prose is marked by its vivid descriptions and a deep sense of place, immersing the reader in both the beauty and the peril that characterize this remote landscape. The novel expertly explores themes of survival, loyalty, and the primal instincts that drive both man and beast, reflecting the broader context of early 20th-century literature that engaged with humanity's relationship to nature and the wilderness mythos. Ridgwell Cullum was a noted author and journalist, whose own experiences in the rugged terrains of North America profoundly influenced his writing. Born in England, he emigrated to Canada, where he became deeply attuned to the trials and triumphs of life in the wild. Cullum's first-hand knowledge of frontier life informs the authenticity of his characters and settings, making them resonate with those who understand the intensity of survival against nature. This book is highly recommended for readers who crave tales of resilience amidst the wilderness and those interested in the historical narratives of North America. Cullum's masterful storytelling not only entertains but also invites reflection on humanity's enduring connection to the natural world.

    Sometimes the thumbs slip… 
    She’s finally joined the dating app everyone in Cider Cove is raving about…when she accidentally sends a message about wanting to meet up for a first date to her enemy. 
    Hillary: 
    I’ve been engaged twice now without becoming a bride, and let’s just say those failures have made me more career-focused than ever. 
    But I just hit the big 3-0 last year, and I’m feeling…lonely, despite the five best friends I share an enormous house with. I’ve drawn the short stick this time, and I’m dealing with the general contractor about fixing our perpetually leaking roof. 
    Joy. 
    Not. 
    Liam Graff is a complete beast—and our next-door neighbor—which only makes the way we sometimes gather at the upper floor windows to watch him mow his lawn shirtless a little embarrassing. 
    For him. Not us. 
    In order to cheer myself up, I join the dating app everyone in town can’t stop talking about, and I’ve been chatting back and forth with Mr. Hottie from one town over. 
    Great. No, really, it’s great. I’m great. He’s great. 
    Except I’ve also been texting with Liam about this blasted roof, and my invite for dinner in a slinky black dress goes to him instead of Mr. Hottie… 
    Before I can correct and explain myself, he responds with, What time should I pick you up? 
    That very terrible text may haunt me for the rest of my life…or change it completely.

    This is the fourth in a series of six audiobooks, the others will become available in the very near future and I do hope you enjoy this fourth instalment, and it's only $3. 
    I have worked very hard and meticulously to provide you with an enjoyable experience, the initial opening credit music which does run to approximately 2 minutes sets the scene, so to speak, a fast paced modern beat that gets you ready for the out of this world story. The closing music ends the tale on a dark foreboding beat anticipating the next instalment. 
    The story itself runs to about 15 minutes and is narrated in my own voice.

    In this gripping psychological suspense novel, The Last Person You Called by Thomas Jennings, readers are plunged into a chilling supernatural mystery that blurs the line between reality and the subconscious. After the death of her estranged mother, Elara Voss inherits an old flip phone—a relic from the past. While sorting through the estate with her partner Marcus, she discovers a series of impossible voicemails arriving at 3:03 a.m. 
    At first, the audio messages seem to be from beyond the grave, echoing her mother’s voice and revealing private childhood memories. This setup hooks fans of domestic drama and ghost stories, creating a tense family saga about unresolved trauma. However, as the creepy calls continue, Elara realizes the recordings are exposing her darkest secret: relief at her mother’s passing. The narrative masterfully pivots from a paranormal activity tale to a profound study of mental health. 
    Using found footage elements and a home camera to capture the events, Elara uncovers a shocking plot twist: the voice on the phone is her own. The story explores grief processing and emotional repression, asking whether we can ever escape the things we whisper in the dark. For fans of slow-burn horror and character-driven thrillers, this audiobook delivers a haunting reminder that the last person you call is often yourself.
