The Night Land by William Hope Hodgson audiobook.
Genre: scifi
The Sun has gone out and the Earth is lit only by the glow of residual vulcanism. The last few millions of the human race are gathered together in a gigantic metal pyramid, nearly eight miles high – the Last Redoubt, under siege from unknown forces and Powers outside in the dark. These are held back by a Circle of Energy, known as the 'air clog', powered from a subterranean energy source called the 'Earth Current'. For millennia, vast living shapes—the Watchers—have waited in the darkness near the pyramid. It is thought they are waiting for the inevitable time when the Circle's power finally weakens and dies. Other living things have been seen in the darkness beyond, some of unknown origins, and others that may once have been human.
To leave the protection of the Circle means almost certain death, or worse an ultimate destruction of the soul. As the story commences, the narrator establishes mind contact with an inhabitant of another, forgotten Lesser Redoubt. First one expedition sets off to succor the inhabitants of the Lesser Redoubt, whose own Earth Current has been exhausted, only to meet with disaster. After that the narrator sets off alone into the darkness to find the girl he has made contact with, knowing now that she is the reincarnation of his past love.
H. P. Lovecraft describes the novel as 'one of the most potent pieces of macabre imagination ever written'. Clark Ashton Smith wrote of it that 'In all literature, there are few works so sheerly remarkable, so purely creative, as The Night Land.

My School Days by E. Nesbit audiobook.
Genre: biography
In My School Days, E. Nesbit steps away from pure fantasy and invites listeners into a vivid, funny, and sometimes sharp-eyed memoir of childhood in late Victorian England. Speaking in a warm, conversational voice, Nesbit (as narrator and main character) revisits classrooms and playgrounds, introducing a gallery of teachers, schoolmates, and authority figures who can be inspiring one moment and terrifying the next. Through self-contained episodes, she captures the small dramas that feel enormous when you are young: trying to fit in, decoding unwritten rules, surviving embarrassment, and facing the particular fears that linger from childhood into adulthood. Alongside the daily routines of lessons and discipline, she remembers the friendships, the secret loyalties, and the private imagination that makes school life bearable and even magical. The book also builds toward an unforgettable stretch of freedom and discovery in what she calls the best summer of her childhood, contrasting the constraints of school with the wider world beyond it. Nostalgic without sentimentality, My School Days is both a portrait of one writer forming her voice and a universal story about growing up.

Tangled Trails by William MacLeod Raine audiobook.
Genre: adventure
The aptly titled 'Tangled Trails, A Western Detective Story' takes the listener through a web of curious incidents revolving around the murder of a prominent man in Denver. Kirby Lane was quite obviously the guilty party in the murder of his uncle. Lane, among others, had had a falling out with his uncle, the victim James Cunningham. But there were some who believed his nephew to be innocent of the hideous crime. Lane feared the guilty party to be a female bronco rider whom he had befriended, as her presence at the scene of the crime was quite evident, albeit only to him. There were others also who appeared to be implicated in the murder for various reasons, thus leading to a veritable tangling of clues and suspects. Was there a detective capable enough to untangle this web?
