A Côte d'Ivoire proverb says: One without fear has no courage... The book you're holding in your hands right now is a mirror to your inner self. What are the things that scare us the most? Can we truly face them? What drags us into the greatest anxiety? A boa constrictor we'll encounter in our bathtub one morning? A shady taxi driver in a deserted back alley, navigating endless darkness? A lightning bolt exploding in the sky? Black cats crossing under the stairs? Clinging to a reed for breath in a swamp, desperately hoping for salvation? Or that insurmountable worry of never seeing our loved ones again? Do we confront our fears head-on? Or do we cover them up completely, pretending they never existed?.. We claim: Stray Stories is the most intriguing, curiosity-piquing book you've read lately-one that will make you feel the tension and fear pulsing through your veins. Who knows, perhaps the characters and places in this book are entirely rooted in reality. They are all heroes who veer onto the wrong path... Bülent Yardımcı a pen that never repeats itself, always distinct; with his rugged and sometimes mischievous style, this time he parts the curtains of fear, offering shocking and captivating stories. Happy reading, stay well, stay with books... Some stories don't stay where they're written-they fly, scatter, find their direction, or lose it. This book is for those who chase such stories. Prof. Dr. Bülent Yardımcı this time leaves the cold boundaries of scientific discipline and dives into the warm geography of the imagination. In these stray stories, each charting its own course, sometimes a snake dons a crown, sometimes a demon joins your table, sometimes a book takes wing, and sometimes a word ascends to the heavens. The lines between reality and dream, science and humor, logic and madness shift places. In the end, every story arrives somewhere: the reader's mind! Stray stories bring order to chaos, yet never submit to order themselves...
