The Dead by James Joyce audiobook.
Genre: drama
On a snowy Epiphany night in Dublin, Gabriel Conroy and his wife Gretta arrive at the annual holiday dance hosted by Gabriel's aunts, the warm-hearted Morkan sisters, whose crowded house fills with music, laughter, and talk that cuts as sharply as the winter air outside. As Gabriel moves through the evening - giving a speech, navigating old friendships, and sparring with a young nationalist's barbed questions - small tensions surface beneath the party's glow: class and culture, Ireland and the wider world, public polish and private unease. The festivities culminate in a lavish supper and spirited dancing, yet Gabriel cannot shake a sense that he is slightly out of step with everyone around him, including the woman he loves. When a song stirs an unexpected emotion in Gretta, Gabriel is drawn into a more intimate reckoning, where desire, jealousy, and tenderness collide with the weight of memory. In Joyce's most celebrated story, a simple gathering becomes a haunting meditation on marriage, identity, and the thin boundary between the living present and the past that still speaks.

The Room in the Dragon Volant by J. Sheridan LeFanu audiobook.
Genre: mystery
In Napoleonic-era Paris, young English traveler Richard Beckett arrives full of money, confidence, and the thrill of being anonymous in a glittering foreign city. An evening visit to a church delivers an instant obsession: a veiled, aristocratic beauty, the Comtesse de St Alyre, whose sadness and mystery seem to beckon him closer. A chance introduction pulls Richard into her orbit, where whispers of family danger, secret meetings, and urgent pleas for discretion make him feel both chosen and indispensable. But Paris has its own predators, and Richard's romantic certainty begins to collide with unsettling details: watchful strangers, oddly timed invitations, and a growing sense that every step has been anticipated. When he is steered toward a secluded inn called the Dragon Volant and assigned a particular room, the story tightens into a claustrophobic spiral of suspicion and dread. Blending gothic atmosphere with a sharp-eyed look at greed and manipulation, LeFanu spins a tense tale about the perils of desire, the ease of self-deception, and how quickly a traveler can become a target.
