    Life in Singapore is good, sometimes even — dare we say it? — absurd. In Singapore Siu Dai, Felix Cheong, with a little help from illustrator PMan, finds humour in the everyday. From our kiasu behaviour to weird geographical boundaries called GRCs and OB markers, no quirk is left unturned. 
     
    These 50 short stories, praised by Singapore’s top humorists for their brew of wit and snappy storytelling, will raise the so-called SG Conversation to a new, satirical pitch. So laugh along as we look forward to Singapore’s 50th birthday! 
     
    “Read Felix’s twisted but funny stories about life, love, school, men, women, stupidity and some more subjects as well. These stories are fresh material. Instead of thinking that life is great and spend time yanking a nose hair, you should sit back, relax and enjoy Singapore Siu Dai.”

    Amy Levy was born in London, England in 1861, the second of seven in a fairly wealthy Anglo-Jewish family. The children read and participated in secular literary activities and became firmly integrated into Victorian life. 
    Her education was at Brighton High School, Brighton, before studies at Newnham College, Cambridge; she was the first Jewish student when she arrived in 1879, but left after four terms. 
    Amy’s writing career began early; her poem ‘Ida Grey’ appeared when she was only fourteen. Her acclaimed short stories ‘Cohen of Trinity’ and ‘Wise in Their Generation,’ were published by Oscar Wilde in his magazine ‘Women's World’. 
    Her poetic writings reveal feminist concerns; ‘Xantippe and Other Verses’, from 1881 includes a poem in the voice of Socrates's wife. ‘A Minor Poet and Other Verse’ from 1884 comprises of dramatic monologues and lyric poems. 
    In 1886, Amy began a series of essays on Jewish culture and literature for the Jewish Chronicle, including ‘The Ghetto at Florence’, ‘The Jew in Fiction’, ‘Jewish Humour’ and ‘Jewish Children’. 
    That same year while travelling in Florence she met the writer Vernon Lee. It is generally assumed they fell in love and this inspired the poem ‘To Vernon Lee’. 
    Her first novel ‘Romance of a Shop’, written in 1888 is based on four sisters who experience the pleasures and hardships of running a London business during the 1880s. This was followed by Reuben Sachs (also 1888) and concerned with Jewish identity and mores in the England of her time and was somewhat controversial. 
    Her final book of poems, ‘A London Plane-Tree’ from 1889, shows the beginnings of the influence of French symbolism. 
    Despite many friendships and an active life, Amy suffered for many years with serious depressions and this, together with her growing deafness, led her to commit suicide by inhaling carbon monoxide on September 10th, 1889. She was 27.

    Title: Silence: A Fable 
    Author: Edgar Allan Poe 
    Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
    Original Publication: 1839 
    Public Domain: Yes 
    Series Placement: Timeless Terrors No. 65 
    Description: 
    Silence: A Fable is one of Edgar Allan Poe’s most haunting and introspective works — a meditation on isolation, the human soul, and the subtle terrors that dwell in stillness itself. The story follows a lone traveler who encounters an otherworldly figure in a desolate, silent landscape. Through cryptic dialogue and atmospheric detail, Poe explores themes of mortality, existential dread, and the ineffable forces that govern life and death. 
    The horror in Silence: A Fable arises not from action or gore, but from the oppressive quiet that permeates every scene — a silence so profound it becomes almost a tangible presence. Shadows, echoes, and the interplay between light and dark create an atmosphere of uncanny tension, reminding readers that human perception is fragile and limited. 
    Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance captures the ethereal dread, reflective melancholy, and enigmatic beauty of Poe’s prose. While the text itself is fully in the public domain, this narration and production are copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne. 
    Part of Timeless Terrors, a series devoted to reviving the classics of horror, Silence: A Fable is a chilling reminder that sometimes the most terrifying forces are not seen or heard — but felt, in the spaces between. 🕯️

    Title: The Shadow 
    Author: Hans Christian Andersen 
    Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
    Original Publication: 1847 
    Public Domain: Yes 
    Series Placement: Timeless Terrors No. 76 
    Description: 
    The Shadow is one of Hans Christian Andersen’s most unsettling tales — a dark allegory of identity, ambition, and the divided self. A learned man’s shadow detaches itself, slowly gaining independence and power, until it comes to dominate the very person who once cast it. 
    Told with quiet menace and philosophical precision, the story explores the danger of denying one’s darker nature and the triumph of intellect without conscience. Its horror is subtle and inevitable, unfolding through irony and psychological tension rather than spectacle. 
    Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance highlights the story’s cold elegance and creeping dread. 
    Part of Timeless Terrors, The Shadow endures as a chilling reminder that the most frightening monsters are often our own reflections.
