My newest narration is "Giovanna Draws" by Nicholas Leonard, a literary love story about an art student from Brazil and the lonely man who becomes her muse.
30 minutes of contemporary fiction that feels like a confession.

This narration is a performance and a meditation — on war, belief, the human contradiction, the question "who pays the price".

"The END of the World", a psycological horror story by Ivan Turgenev | Read by Naya Nomikou

We've all felt it sometime. I have. You?

I’d read Turgenev’s “The End of the World” before — I thought I was ready.
But recording it was really something else.
It’s not loud horror. It’s quiet. Patient.
Then a small voice says: “Father, I’m frightened.”
By the end, the world simply... stops.
And you can almost hear the last breath.

A black and white background like a cloud in a dark sky. And the words "darkness... darkness everlasting!". Then with capital letters "THE END OF THE WORLD - IVAN TURGENEV". An illustration of a black microphone followed by the name "Naya Nomikou".

But really, it was the people.

Sometimes the most deep connections happen when we lean into uncertainty together rather than pretending we have all the answers.

The third version titled "The Frogs asking for a King", contrary to the first two, might be said that warns against the grass-is-always-greener mentality in politics. youtu.be/Vm2fFr9pfRY?...
All three provide food for thought.
Which one do you prefer?

The second "KING LOG & KING STORK" is a fascinating short version written by Walter Crane. Compared to the first version this one collapses the story to its essential elements and adds an explicit conclusion: "DON'T HAVE KINGS."

I've narrated 3 versions of the story with the Frogs wishing for a King. An Aesop fable.
The first titled "The Frogs who wished for a King" could be a sophisticated critique of democratic discontent and the psychology of authoritarianism.

The Lion at the TURN of the Tide | A story by Stephen Sinclair | Historical Fiction Audiobook

Naya Nomikou @nayanomikou.bsky.social · Sep 11

🔥 Battles. Myth. History on the edge of horror.
Last week I narrated The Lion at the Turn of the Tide by Stephen Sinclair—an intense dive into historical fiction that demanded rhythm, grit, and focus.

Οι εικόνες είναι σκληρές.
Σκληρή είναι η πραγματικότητα.
Απάνθρωπο το σύστημα που επιτρέπει τον αφανισμό της φύσης, της ζωής.
Καμμένα ζώα, καμμένη γη, καμμένες περιουσίες.
Θλίψη και οργή.

Ilya Sergeitch Peplov and his wife Kleopatra Petrovna are desperate to marry off their daughter, Natashenka.
A hilarious story! Chekhov is a master of satirizing several aspects of Russian society and human nature in "A Blunder".
