  The papers call me "the gentleman killer." I wrapped the throat of my first victim in the silk scarf with which I strangled her. That's what passes as a gentleman these days. I ask you: How do you reconcile a man who is capable of deep, tender love (because I've felt it), a man, who—by public standards—is a health reformer, assistant to the future British Prime Minister ,and the son-in-law of a wealthy industrialist, but who, when the moment overtakes him, kills women? I don't know what to make of it myself, but that's me. I've been told I have a philosopher's mind, that I'm ambitious and can do anything I set my mind to—but sometimes my sadomasochistic tendencies get the better of me. I don't venture judgement—on myself or anyone else. I'll leave that up to you. My name is Kilcairn, and these are my confessions.

  Ever wondered about the paths of our ancestors? Wetion (2nd edn) appeals to those open to discovering ways to chart a future using lessons from the past. 
  There’s a part of us all in Addy’s tale. Combining 19 chapters of interconnected short stories with ten scene play, each with its own original song, listeners experience words making history, alongside the drama, tragedies, romance, lessons, lore and more. 
  Addy is the character connecting early human history to the present. Using a DNA test, he establishes the migration routes of the ancestors and conducts an experiment. Using plants gathered from places once inhabited, he concocts a salad. If his theory was correct, consumption would unlock deep memories of ancestors’ past. What follows is a state of altered consciousness too real to be a dream. 
  The highs and lows of 2,000 generations are told in stories revealing the meaning of Wetion. 
  This novel provides a new multimedia experience, is the first of a trilogy and only available in audiobook format. Experimental fiction it is, laced with homage to the bards. 
  Wetion is a 2026 Audie Award entrant for Best Production and Sound Design.

When Abram finally requests Sarai's hand, she asks one thing—that he promise never to take another wife as long as she lives.

Certain she can easily do that, Sarai agrees.
