Sinopse

Peril, humour, heartbreak, justice...no two police shifts are the same.
 
The highs and lows of cops on the job. The cases that make them, break them, bring them laughs, maybe even love.
 
Police on the beat, working one-officer shops, and seasoned detectives pursuing a cunning home intruder, a full-moon prankster, false friends and vengeful partners. Adrenaline-charged car chases, unsanctioned surveillance, intense interrogation. The impact of a child's tragic death. The import of unearthing what happened to an infant and her mother. Lives saved and crooks captured.
 
This gripping collection of Sandi Wallace's award-winning short fiction-'Busted', 'Silk Versus Sierra' and 'Losing Heidi'-along with new and never-before released verse and stories, includes 'Impact', a finalist in the international Cutthroat Rick DeMarinis Short Story Contest.
Disponível desde: 22/12/2021.

    Title: Gabriel-Ernest 
    Author: Saki (H. H. Munro) 
    Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
    Original Publication: 1909 
    Public Domain: Yes 
    Series Placement: Number 55 in the Timeless Terrors series 
    Description: 
    Gabriel-Ernest is one of Saki’s most unsettling tales — a quiet yet chilling brush with something wild, feral, and possibly inhuman hiding within the English countryside. 
    The story begins when a landowner encounters a strange, naked boy in the woods, a youth who speaks calmly of hunting animals… and children. Though outwardly human, the boy’s presence carries an undercurrent of danger, his nature hinted at but never fully revealed. Taken into a household under the name Gabriel Ernest, he quickly becomes an eerie and disruptive force — a creature of the forest wearing the shape of a child. 
    With its blend of wit, unease, and understated menace, Gabriel-Ernest stands as a prime example of Saki’s ability to inject horror into the everyday. The tension arises not from gore or spectacle, but from the chilling possibility that civilization is only a thin veil over something older and more predatory. 
    Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance brings Saki’s atmospheric dread and subtle terror to life. While the text is firmly 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 and uncanny, Gabriel-Ernest remains a haunting reminder that not every monster announces itself — some simply walk beside us, smiling.

    In his second collection of stories, author and filmmaker R.W. Gray (Crisp) once again finds the place where the beautiful, the strange, and the surreal all meet—sometimes meshing harmoniously, sometimes colliding with terrible violence, launching his characters into a redefined reality. A lovestruck man discovers the secret editing room where his girlfriend erases all her flaws; a massage artist finds that she can alleviate her clients’ pain in more ways than one; a beautiful man invites those who want him to do whatever they wish with his unconscious body; and a gay couple meets what appear to be the younger versions of themselves, and learns that history can indeed repeat itself.
