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.

The Secret Battle by A. P. Herbert audiobook.

Genre: tragedy

Like many soldiers at the beginning of their military careers, Harry Penrose has romantic ideas of climbing the ranks and attaining hero status. However, while stationed at Gallipoli, the realities of war begin to take their toll on Penrose, not only physically, but also mentally where the war has become a 'battle of the mind.' This is his story as related by a fellow soldier, as well as the story of the campaign at Gallipoli which is vividly portrayed from the author's own personal experiences.

During his tenure as an officer, Penrose slowly asserts himself; the war takes a toll on his personality, but he begins to live up to his early dreams of heroism. However, his creeping self-doubt grows by degrees; following Gallipoli, he is reassigned from his post as scouting officer once on the Somme, knowing he cannot face another night patrol, and earns the wrath of his commanding officer - an irascible Regular colonel - over a trivial incident. The colonel piles difficult, risky work on him - remarking to the narrator that 'Master Penrose can go on with [leading ration parties] until he learns to do them properly' - and Penrose submits, working doggedly to try and keep from cracking. After a long period of this treatment, by the winter of 1916, Penrose's spirit is worn down. What follows his downward spiral may surprise and even shock today's readers, but was common and controversial at the time.

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.
