A Princess of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs audiobook.

Genre: scifi

When American soldier and adventurer John Carter flees into the Arizona wilderness, a strange accident sweeps him far beyond Earth to the dying world of Barsoom - Mars - where thinner air, brutal deserts, and ancient rivalries shape every breath. Gifted with extraordinary strength and agility under the planet's lesser gravity, Carter is quickly pulled into a conflict he barely understands: nomadic, four-armed Green Martians war against the more human Red Martians who cling to their fading cities and lost sciences. Captured by the fierce Tharks and forced to prove himself in their harsh society, Carter must navigate alien customs, shifting loyalties, and the politics of a planet on the brink. His fate becomes entangled with Dejah Thoris, a proud and resourceful princess of Helium, whose courage matches his own and whose people face looming destruction. As armies gather and old technologies awaken, Carter must decide what kind of man he will be on a world that can make him a hero - or a conqueror. Sweeping, fast-paced, and bursting with wonder, this is a classic tale of romance, daring battles, and survival on an alien frontier.

Two Poe Tales by Edgar Allan Poe audiobook.

Genre: comedy

Two Poe Tales gathers two of Edgar Allan Poe's sharpest, funniest send-ups of the very Gothic sensationalism he helped popularize: How to Write a Blackwood Article and its companion tale, A Predicament. In the first story, the ambitious and delightfully self-important Signora Psyche Zenobia sets out to become a literary sensation by following the strict, absurd recipe for publishing in Blackwood's Magazine, where suffering, heightened emotion, and lurid detail are treated like ingredients in a foolproof formula. Armed with advice on how to manufacture dread and astonishment on cue, Zenobia launches into her own attempt at fashionable terror. The second tale puts that formula to the test in the real world, as Zenobia and her long-suffering servant find themselves drawn into an escalating misadventure that is equal parts melodrama and farce. With playful narration, exaggerated horror tropes, and sly commentary on taste, authorship, and literary gatekeeping, these two pieces reveal Poe not only as a master of the macabre, but also as a gleeful satirist who knew exactly how (and why) readers loved to be frightened.

The Gods of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs audiobook.

Genre: scifi

The Gods of Mars is a 1918 Edgar Rice Burroughs science fiction novel, the second of his famous Barsoom series.It can be said that the novel set the tone for much science fiction to come. Its influence can clearly be seen in franchises such as Star Trek and Farscape. While Burroughs no doubt borrowed liberally from the pulp fiction of his day, particularly westerns and swashbuckling tales, the pacing and themes set the tone for the soft science fiction genre.

The protagonist, John Carter, with his proficiency in hand-to-hand combat and flirtations with beautiful alien women, could be said to have set the mold for later influential icons like Captain James T. Kirk and James Bond.

At the end of the first book, A Princess of Mars, John Carter is unwillingly transported back to Earth. The Gods of Mars begins with his arrival back on Barsoom (Mars) after a ten year hiatus, separated from his wife Dejah Thoris, his unborn child, and the Red Martian people of the nation of Helium, whom he has adopted as his own. Unfortunately, John Carter materializes in the one place on Barsoom from which nobody is allowed to depart: the Valley Dor, which is the Barsoomian heaven.
