The Willows by Algernon Blackwood audiobook.

Genre: horror

A tale of horror in which a pleasant sojourn down the Danube tumbles terrifyingly awry as the veil between this world and an unfathomably weird dimension is inadvertently pierced by an innocent pair of vacationers, 'The Willows', arguably Algernon Blackwood's seminal contribution to supernatural literature, has had a lasting influence on the field. No less a personage than H. P. Lovecraft describing it as '...the greatest weird tale ever written.' A reading will reveal a clear influence to one familiar with Lovecraft's work. The masterful handling of mystery and suspense that build to a quite satisfyingly unnerving crescendo may be particularly noted by the discerning aficionado of the genre

The Bright Messenger by Algernon Blackwood audiobook.

Genre: fantasy

In this moody, metaphysical novel from master of the uncanny Algernon Blackwood, Dr. Edward Fillery, a psychologist with an unusual sensitivity to hidden currents in the human mind, is drawn into a case that defies ordinary diagnosis. At a discreet Spiritual Clinique he and his colleague Paul Devonham take in a young man with a baffling double life: at times he seems a simple, gentle country youth, and at others something vast and unaccountable shines through him - a presence Fillery names only by initials, as if language itself cannot hold it. As the doctors argue over what is illness and what might be evolution, fragments of the patient's past emerge: a remote upbringing, an eccentric mentor, and a devotion to natural forces that feels older than civilization. The closer Fillery comes to understanding the young man's divided consciousness, the more the surrounding world begins to tilt, as friends, patients, and skeptics alike are forced to confront the possibility that personality is not a closed room but a door. Part psychological inquiry, part occult romance, The Bright Messenger asks what humanity may become if the boundaries between the everyday self and the larger universe grow thin.

A Yankee Girl at Fort Sumter by Alice Turner Curtis audiobook.

Genre: history

Ten-year-old Sylvia Fulton has left Boston behind and is living with her parents in Charleston, South Carolina, in the tense months just before the Civil War begins. Curious, warm-hearted, and fiercely loyal, Sylvia tries to make a home in a city where her Northern roots mark her as an outsider. At school she finds kindness and fast friendship with girls like Grace Waite and Flora Hayes, but she also meets sharp prejudice from classmates who fling the word 'Yankee' like an insult. Beyond the classroom, Charleston Harbor and its looming forts become part of Sylvia's everyday world, and growing talk of secession turns familiar streets into a place of whispers, secret errands, and sudden danger. Through her bond with Estrella, an enslaved girl close to her own age, Sylvia begins to see the painful contradictions beneath the city's elegance and 'honor.' As friendships are tested and loyalties harden, Sylvia must decide what courage looks like when the world around her is choosing sides, and when a child's sense of right and wrong collides with the realities of history in motion.
