The Girl From Hollywood by Edgar Rice Burroughs audiobook.

Genre: mystery

Edgar Rice Burroughs steps away from jungle adventure into a hard-edged tale of America in the 1920s, where wide-open ranch country collides with the glitter and rot of the movie business. On a remote California spread, the Penningtons pride themselves on decency and hard work, but their son Custer is tested when his longtime friend Grace Evans dreams of leaving home to become an actress. In Hollywood, another young woman, Shannon Burke (billed on screen as Gaza de Lure), learns how easily ambition can be twisted by predators, and how quickly a life can be pulled into addiction and crime. As Prohibition bootlegging and a hidden drug traffic begin to thread through both the ranch and the studio world, the Penningtons find their family bonds strained by secrecy, temptation, and threats from men who profit off ruin. With a ruthless actor-director pulling strings, a smugglers network tightening its grip, and two very different women fighting for dignity in a system built to use them, Custer must decide what loyalty and love are worth when innocence is no longer protected by distance.

The Raven and The Philosophy Of Composition by Edgar Allan Poe audiobook.

Genre: poetry

Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven and The Philosophy of Composition pairs one of the most famous narrative poems in American literature with the provocative essay in which Poe claims to explain how he built it. In The Raven, a sleepless narrator, raw with grief and memory, tries to read away the night when an unexpected visitor arrives: a raven that perches above his door and answers every question with the same unnerving refrain. As the hours tighten, the speaker's curiosity turns to obsession, and the bird's calm presence becomes a mirror for longing, dread, and the mind's talent for self-torment. The companion piece, The Philosophy of Composition, shifts from candlelit Gothic atmosphere to cool analysis as Poe walks listeners through his stated method: choosing a single emotional effect, selecting sound and rhythm to reinforce it, and arranging images and repetition to escalate intensity. Together, poem and essay form a compact masterclass on how mood is engineered, how meaning can be driven by music, and how art can feel both inevitable and hauntingly personal.

Perkins, the Fakeer - A Travesty on Reincarnation by Edward S. Van Zile audiobook.

Genre: comedy

Edward S. Van Zile's Perkins, the Fakeer is a trio of comic, uncanny case histories, each allegedly set in motion by Perkins, a Yankee-turned-India adept whose peculiar powers trigger baffling psychic transpositions. In When Reginald Was Caroline, respectable spouses Reginald and Caroline wake to an impossible predicament: their minds have exchanged bodies. As servants knock at the door and the day’s obligations close in, the pair must improvise a way to preserve appearances, navigate marriage from the other side of the looking-glass, and argue over which habits and privileges truly belong to whom. How Chopin Came to Remsen shifts to another household, where practical businessman Tom Remsen begins to display flashes of artistic genius that seem borrowed from a far different life, drawing his anxious wife into doctors, music rooms, and the orbit of an intense admirer, Signorina Molatti. In Clarissa's Troublesome Baby, a contented remarriage is thrown into panic when a baby speaks with the voice and attitudes of Clarissa's late first husband, forcing secrets, negotiations, and awkward domestic diplomacy. Witty, satirical, and fast-moving, these tales lampoon society, spirituality, and the fragile performance of identity.
