The Lucky Piece - A Story of the North Woods by Albert Bigelow Paine audiobook.

Genre: adventure

While riding a stage back to the city late in the summer, a youngster had no money to spend, and so gives his lucky piece as payment to a young girl selling berries by the roadside. As time passes, in the Adirondack mountains of northern New York state, a tale unfolds involving two young women, two young men, and a bevy of characters the likes of which lend to a series of events which make up a fascinating story. Constance was one not to be controlled, she was a free spirit, as in fairy tales, wont to follow the moment rather than ideas presented to her by others. Frank came from a well to do family who expected nothing but success from their offspring. Robin appeared of suspicious origin, but was noble in nature, while Edith Morrison was quite well known at the Lodge in the mountains where the tale takes place. There are love stories, mushrooms, close and distant relationships, and life in the Adirondacks in this story which revolves around the lucky piece which once served as payment for a hatful of berries.

The Moon Pool by Abraham Merritt audiobook.

Genre: fantasy

When a renowned scientist vanishes under impossible circumstances, Dr. David South and a small circle of friends are drawn into a mystery that seems to defy every rational explanation. Their search leads from hushed academic rooms to a remote Pacific island, where a forbidden crater-like abyss known as the Moon Pool is whispered about with dread and fascination. At its edge, strange lights pulse with a hypnotic intelligence, and the air itself seems charged with an alien presence. As the expedition pushes deeper, they uncover traces of an ancient, hidden world - a place of glittering wonders and lethal beauty, where forces older than humanity still move with purpose. Caught between scientific curiosity and primal fear, South must navigate treacherous terrain, uncanny phenomena, and the seductive pull of the unknown, while trying to rescue the man who first crossed the threshold. Dreamlike, ominous, and relentlessly imaginative, Abraham Merritt's classic blends lost-world adventure with eerie cosmic enchantment, asking what happens when the human mind confronts a mystery it may not be built to survive.

His Dog by Albert Payson Terhune audiobook.

Genre: family

Albert Payson Terhune, perhaps best known for his book Lad, a Dog (later turned into a popular movie), was also a breeder of collies and a journalist. Some of his collie lines survive to this day.

His Dog is a story about Link Ferris who finds an injured dog on his way home one evening. Knowing nothing about dogs, Link nurses the dog back to health and the two form a bond such as only can be formed between human and canine. Unable to locate the collie's owner, Link christens his dog 'Chum' who becomes invaluable in tending to the daily needs of his meager farm.

Unknown to Ferris however, Chum's original owners have been looking for their lost collie, and the story finds Link torn between that which he knows is morally right and his love for what he believes has become his dog.
