Animal Ghosts by Elliott ODonnell audiobook.

Genre: folklore

In Animal Ghosts, noted ghost-hunter and storyteller Elliott O'Donnell turns his attention from haunted houses to the creatures that shared them, asking a provocative question: if human beings may survive death, why not animals? Framed by an impassioned preface arguing for animal souls and a just hereafter, the book unfolds as a casebook of eerie reports, letters, and traditional tales gathered from witnesses and old sources. O'Donnell organizes his investigation by kind, moving through cats, dogs, horses, farm animals, and then outward to wild creatures, jungle beasts, and birds. A sinister cat emblem over an ancient manor, phantom dogs that pad through corridors or appear as omens, spectral hunts and riders, and uncanny animal behavior that seems to sense the unseen all become evidence in his wider argument. Part anthology and part inquiry, the narrative blends folklore with first-hand testimony, inviting listeners to weigh coincidence against haunting and compassion against cruelty. By the end, the lingering question is not only what people might see in the dark, but what debts the living may owe to the voiceless dead.

The Heart of the New Thought by Ella Wheeler Wilcox audiobook.

Genre: self help

In The Heart of the New Thought, bestselling poet and essayist Ella Wheeler Wilcox offers a clear, warmly persuasive introduction to the spiritual philosophy that helped shape early self-improvement movements in America. Speaking directly to the listener, Wilcox argues that the most decisive battles are fought in the unseen world of thought: fear versus faith, resentment versus forgiveness, and passive wishing versus deliberate, constructive intention. Moving between practical counsel and uplifting reflection, she explores how habit, attention, and emotion influence health, work, and relationships, and she urges readers to replace despairing inner talk with chosen ideas that build courage and calm. Throughout, Wilcox returns to a central challenge: how to hold to a higher view of life when daily setbacks, grief, and discouragement tempt the mind to surrender. With an emphasis on personal responsibility, inner discipline, and a hopeful moral vision, this classic New Thought text invites listeners to test its principles in ordinary moments - and to discover a steadier sense of purpose, power, and peace.

Settlers of the Marsh by Frederick Philip Grove audiobook.

Genre: tragedy

In the Big Grassy Marsh country of northern Manitoba in the early twentieth century, Swedish immigrant Niels Lindstedt stakes everything on a simple, burning vision: clear the bush, break the stubborn soil, and build a home that proves he belongs in this new land. Through backbreaking work and fierce self-discipline, he begins to turn raw wilderness into a prosperous farm - and he fixes his hopes on Ellen Amundsen, the capable, guarded daughter of a neighboring settler. But Ellen carries a private vow shaped by the brutal history she has witnessed, and Niels's yearning for domestic happiness meets a refusal he cannot understand. Stung by rejection and swept up by loneliness, he is drawn toward town and into the orbit of Clara Vogel, a woman who offers immediate comfort and dangerous excitement. As prairie respectability, desire, and pride collide, Niels discovers that building a house is easier than building a life, and that one impulsive decision can put a hard-won dream at risk. Frederick Philip Grove's stark, unsentimental novel explores isolation, sexuality, moral consequence, and the relentless pressures of pioneer survival.
