Lost Man’s Lane by Anna Katharine Green audiobook.

Genre: mystery

When a quiet upstate New York village gains a chilling nickname for a lonely stretch of road, the rumors are too persistent to ignore: over the years, men have simply vanished while walking alone along the same country lane. Veteran police inspector Ebenezer Gryce believes the pattern points to something darker than chance, but the case offers few solid leads and even fewer witnesses. Needing eyes and instincts outside official channels, he turns to Miss Amelia Butterworth, a sharp-minded society woman whose previous brush with crime-solving left her both wary and intrigued. Amelia seizes on a convenient pretext to investigate in person: a visit to the children of a late school friend, who live in a decaying house at the far end of the notorious lane. There, uneasy hospitality, stubbornly guarded family secrets, ominous sounds behind locked doors, and a cast of watchful neighbors tighten the atmosphere with Gothic dread. As another disappearance threatens to make the lane live up to its name, Amelia must balance propriety, courage, and cold logic to uncover what the village refuses to say aloud.

Hand and Ring by Anna Katharine Green audiobook.

Genre: mystery

In the quiet New York town of Sibley, a knot of lawyers and officials linger on the courthouse steps swapping theories about crime when a stranger offers a chilling observation: the boldest offenses are sometimes committed in full view, where no one thinks to look. Minutes later, the woman living in the plain house he indicated, the widowed Mrs. Clemmens, is found struck down in her own parlor, and the town is jolted into suspicion and fear. Young New York detective Horace Byrd takes the lead, sifting testimony, tracing timelines, and weighing the unsettling physical clues left behind, including a ring that seems to point in more than one direction. As whispers tighten around two equally plausible suspects, the enigmatic Imogene Dare steps into the center of the case, her past, her loyalties, and her very presence raising as many questions as they answer. When the famed detective Ebenezer Gryce becomes involved, the investigation turns into a contest between appearances and proof, unfolding through tense interviews, legal maneuvering, and extended courtroom scenes where every word can condemn or save.

The World With A Thousand Moons by Edmond Hamilton audiobook.

Genre: scifi

Lance Kenniston is a hard-edged asteroid man running out of time. Stranded on Mars without a ship, he and his hulking Jovian partner, Holk Or, gamble everything on a reckless plan: recruit a bored group of wealthy thrill-seekers and hitch a ride aboard their sleek private cruiser. Kenniston offers them the ultimate adventure - a treasure hunt for the legendary loot of space pirate John Dark, rumored to lie entombed in a wreck on Vesta, the so-called World with a Thousand Moons, ringed by swarming meteors. But Vesta is no romantic backdrop. Its steaming jungle hides brutal, alien predators, and something far worse: small parasitic horrors that can turn living bodies into stolen weapons. As fear rises and supplies dwindle, Kenniston must keep his crew moving, keep his story straight, and keep his own motives buried, while suspicion fractures the party from within. Part pulp space opera, part survival nightmare, this fast, vivid tale pits greed and courage against an uncaring frontier where every moonlit shadow can kill.

The City at World’s End by Edmond Hamilton audiobook.

Genre: scifi

A quiet Midwestern town is living an ordinary day when a burst of unimaginable force rips reality apart. In an instant, the familiar streets of Middletown are torn out of their own time and flung to the last age of the cosmos, when the stars are dying and the universe itself is running down. Stranded beyond any hope of rescue, the townspeople must confront a future so remote that human history has become legend. As panic gives way to hard choices, a handful of leaders and skeptics struggle to keep order, protect the vulnerable, and understand what brought them here. Their search for answers draws them toward a mysterious, colossal metropolis: a last refuge built by beings who have outlived civilizations and learned terrible lessons about survival at the edge of eternity. But the city offers no simple salvation. To endure, Middletown must reckon with alien powers, dwindling resources, and the crushing psychological weight of being the last people who remember Earth. Sweeping, eerie, and intensely human, this classic tale turns a small-town cast into witnesses of the universe's final night.

Citadel of the Star Lords by Edmond Hamilton audiobook.

Genre: scifi

When down-on-his-luck pilot Price blunders into military trouble, a desperate flight takes him straight into the shockwave of an experimental blast. The concussion does not kill him - it hurls him into a future Earth a hundred years beyond his own, where the old world has collapsed and the planet is controlled from a formidable stronghold: the citadel of the Star Lords. To the scattered, struggling humans who remain, the Star Lords are invaders and masters, almost indistinguishable from mankind except for the cold efficiency of their rule. Price keeps his true origin hidden as he is pulled between wary survivors, whispered plans of revolt, and the unsettling possibility that the aliens' occupation may not be the simple tyranny it appears. As he learns the citadel's purpose and the shadow of a larger cosmic conflict closes in, Price must decide what - and who - he can trust, even as forbidden attraction complicates every choice. Edmond Hamilton delivers classic, breathless space opera: time travel, high-stakes intrigue, and a lone man forced to gamble the fate of Earth in a war he barely understands.

Pellucidar by Edgar Rice Burroughs audiobook.

Genre: scifi

When wealthy young adventurer David Innes agrees to test an experimental digging machine built by brilliant but absent-minded inventor Abner Perry, the trial goes catastrophically off course. The steel mole bores deep beneath the Earth and breaks into a vast inner world called Pellucidar - a sunlit realm with no night, no seasons, and no reliable way to measure time. There, human tribes struggle to survive amid primeval beasts and brutal rival peoples, all living under the shadow of the Mahars, cold-blooded, intelligent overlords who rule through terror, slavery, and their savage minions, the Sagoths. Separated from everything he knows and forced to become a leader before he is ready, Innes is drawn into a fight that is bigger than simple survival. As he searches for allies and for the courageous Dian the Beautiful, Innes must learn Pellucidar's strange laws of geography and memory, navigate shifting loyalties among its scattered nations, and decide what kind of man he will be in a world that answers to strength. Pellucidar is a breathless journey of discovery, romance, and rebellion at the heart of a lost world.

Jungle Tales of Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs ~ Full Audiobook [adventure] Nov 30, 2022

Show notes

Jungle Tales of Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs audiobook.

Genre: adventure

In Jungle Tales of Tarzan, Edgar Rice Burroughs returns to the steaming heart of equatorial Africa to reveal early, hard-won chapters in the making of the ape-man. Living as an outsider among the great apes yet driven by a human mind he cannot fully name, Tarzan must learn to survive by tooth, vine, and instinct while also grappling with questions of identity, belonging, and rule. Across a series of episodic adventures, he faces rival beasts, treacherous terrain, and the constant pressure of jungle law, where strength is tested daily and mercy can be fatal. But danger does not come only from claws and fangs: rival tribes, strange customs, and the arrival of unfamiliar humans expose Tarzan to new kinds of conflict - pride, jealousy, and the unsettling pull of a world beyond the trees. Each tale deepens the legend, showing how Tarzan earns his place through courage and cunning, and how the jungle itself shapes his fierce sense of justice. Fast, vivid, and mythic, these stories expand the Tarzan saga with primal action and a growing awareness of what it means to be both man and wild.
