About this listen

“In their stillness, they remember what we forget—that to live is meaning enough.”

A fox waits at a window with a warning too late to ignore.

A dog mourns its master without knowing it is the last goodbye.

A crow tallies the debts of a village that forgot how to care.

A whale sings beneath the floorboards for what was buried but never gone.

In Strange Companions, animals speak in riddles, offer prophecies, and hold mirrors to the hidden corners of our humanity. Each story balances the uncanny with the intimate—dark fables and tender reflections that explore grief, greed, love, and the strange beauty of being alive.

Some of these creatures warn, some comfort, some simply watch.

All of them remind us that we are not so different from the beasts we imagine, and that even in our most human moments, we are still part of something older, wilder, and true.

For listeners who find poetry in silence, light in darkness, and meaning in the natural world’s quiet gaze—Strange Companions invites you to walk beside ten animals who have always been there, waiting to be seen

Fun, dark anthology of 10 animal based stories. My favourite was Crow Ledger, dark and thought provoking.
