A Yankee Girl at Fort Sumter by Alice Turner Curtis audiobook.
Genre: history
Ten-year-old Sylvia Fulton has left Boston behind and is living with her parents in Charleston, South Carolina, in the tense months just before the Civil War begins. Curious, warm-hearted, and fiercely loyal, Sylvia tries to make a home in a city where her Northern roots mark her as an outsider. At school she finds kindness and fast friendship with girls like Grace Waite and Flora Hayes, but she also meets sharp prejudice from classmates who fling the word 'Yankee' like an insult. Beyond the classroom, Charleston Harbor and its looming forts become part of Sylvia's everyday world, and growing talk of secession turns familiar streets into a place of whispers, secret errands, and sudden danger. Through her bond with Estrella, an enslaved girl close to her own age, Sylvia begins to see the painful contradictions beneath the city's elegance and 'honor.' As friendships are tested and loyalties harden, Sylvia must decide what courage looks like when the world around her is choosing sides, and when a child's sense of right and wrong collides with the realities of history in motion.

The Willows by Algernon Blackwood audiobook.
Genre: horror
A tale of horror in which a pleasant sojourn down the Danube tumbles terrifyingly awry as the veil between this world and an unfathomably weird dimension is inadvertently pierced by an innocent pair of vacationers, 'The Willows', arguably Algernon Blackwood's seminal contribution to supernatural literature, has had a lasting influence on the field. No less a personage than H. P. Lovecraft describing it as '...the greatest weird tale ever written.' A reading will reveal a clear influence to one familiar with Lovecraft's work. The masterful handling of mystery and suspense that build to a quite satisfyingly unnerving crescendo may be particularly noted by the discerning aficionado of the genre

Can Such Things Be by Ambrose Bierce audiobook.
Genre: horror
Can Such Things Be gathers Ambrose Bierce's most unsettling tales into a single volume where reason keeps colliding with the impossible. Across a series of tightly wound stories, Bierce follows hunters and townsfolk, soldiers and scientists, skeptics and storytellers who each confront a phenomenon that refuses ordinary explanation: a presence that cannot be seen yet leaves proof behind, a corpse that does not behave as it should, a familiar landscape that turns hostile, a calm investigation that becomes a descent into dread. Bierce writes with a sharp, ironic clarity that makes the strange feel frighteningly plausible, and his narrators often cling to logic even as it fails them. The collection's central tension is not only between the natural and the supernatural, but between what people believe they perceive and what might be lurking just beyond the limits of human senses. By turns grim, slyly humorous, and genuinely chilling, these stories explore fear as a force that distorts judgment, isolates the mind, and makes the world itself feel untrustworthy.
