Amusement Only by Richard Marsh audiobook.

Genre: mystery

Amusement Only is a spirited Edwardian collection of twelve tales by Richard Marsh, each built to entertain while keeping a faint edge of danger just out of sight. In The Lost Duchess, London society is jolted when the Duke of Datchet learns his wife has seemingly vanished from a sealed carriage, and a brazen ransom demand turns a glittering dinner engagement into a race against time. In The Strange Occurrences in Canterstone Jail, a routine morning becomes a crisis when an entire prison finds its cell doors mysteriously refusing to open, testing order, authority, and nerves. Twins! spins a brisk comedy of confusion as lookalike brothers become entangled in other people's grudges and debts, while A Vision of the Night drifts into uncanny territory when an artist paints a face from a dream and is confronted by the living woman behind it. Between the shocks and puzzles, Marsh threads sly social satire: patent-medicine schemes, domestic misadventures, and romances that feel like traps. By turns witty, suspenseful, and eerie, these stories ask how easily identity, reputation, and reality can be swapped for sheer amusement.

Vagabond Adventures by Ralph Keeler audiobook.

Genre: biography

First published in 1870, Vagabond Adventures is Ralph Keeler's fast-moving memoir of how an orphaned, restless American boy turns himself into a wanderer long before he is old enough to understand the price of freedom. At eleven, Keeler flees an unhappy life in Buffalo and plunges into the rough schooling of docks, cabins, and lake steamers, where quick wits matter as much as hard work and luck. Just as he begins to find his footing, he is swept into the bright, precarious world of traveling entertainment, spending formative years on the road with minstrel companies and learning how performers survive backstage rivalries, bad management, and unpredictable audiences. In early manhood, the roaming continues with a shoestring journey through Europe, where Keeler adopts local disguises and habits to stretch a tiny budget, trading comfort for experience and discovery. By turns humorous, candid, and sharply observant, Keeler chronicles the constant tug between hunger and hope, belonging and independence, and the question that follows every escape: what kind of life is he actually running toward?

The Black Arrow by Robert Louis Stevenson audiobook.

Genre: adventure

In the unsettled years of England's War of the Roses, where a man stood on the issue of kingship could make his fortune... or end his life. Dick Shelton, a nobly-born lad, is on the cusp of manhood, and he is thrust bodily into this stew where allegiances shift under one's feet. Circumstances cause him to fall in with a gentlemaiden in boy's disguise. Until he learns of the deception, Dick is unaware that the young lady is an heiress whom his guardian Sir Daniel had kidnapped. And the introduction of an outlaw with a penchant for putting black arrows into the bodies of the men who had wronged him affords Dick a worrying hint - that Sir Daniel might have been the man that had murdered Dick's father!
