Lukundoo and Other Stories by Edward Lucas White audiobook.

Genre: horror

Lukundoo and Other Stories gathers Edward Lucas White's most unsettling tales into a single volume of classic weird fiction, where the calm surfaces of ordinary life conceal ancient cruelties and impossible transformations. In the title story, a respectable man becomes the target of a curse so intimate and grotesque that even the language of medicine falters, forcing him to confront the price of pride and the reach of distant, half-understood powers. Around it, White offers a parade of narrators and witnesses - practical doctors, skeptical scholars, travelers, and friends who thought they knew one another - each drawn into a mystery that refuses neat explanation. A casual conversation becomes a confession, a relic becomes a threat, and a private fear takes on a physical shape. The collection leans on atmosphere and precise, report-like storytelling, letting dread accumulate through small details until the reader is trapped between rational doubt and the evidence of the senses. By turns eerie, ironic, and deeply macabre, these stories explore guilt, superstition, and the dangerous allure of the unknown, inviting you to listen closely - and then sleep with the lights on.

The Haunted Island by Edward Harold Visiak audiobook.

Genre: adventure

Christmas Eve, 1668: young Francis Clayton listens as his bold older brother Dick speaks of a treasure so vast it has become a sailor's nightmare, hidden on a remote island said to be watched by a gigantic spectre. When Dick throws in his lot with conspirators and seizes the King's ship Tiger to hunt the prize, Francis refuses to be left behind. The voyage becomes a running battle with pursuit, mutiny, and the sea itself, until castaways' warnings point to the island's true master: Doctor Copicus, an exiled alchemist whose genius and cruelty have made him lord over pirates, prisoners, and secrets best left buried. Drawn toward shore by relentless currents, the brothers find themselves trapped in a place of volcanic heat, strange experiments, and staged hauntings that feel all too real. Forced into service copying forbidden manuscripts, Francis must keep his wits as he explores the island's riddles, measures courage against terror, and tries to protect the one bond that matters most. Part swashbuckling quest, part gothic nightmare, The Haunted Island pits loyalty and reason against greed, fear, and a man's consuming thirst for revenge.

The Falcon on the Baltic by Edward Frederick Knight audiobook.

Genre: adventure

In The Falcon on the Baltic, Edward Frederick Knight turns a modest small-boat cruise into an irresistible voyage of self-reliance and discovery. Setting out from Hammersmith in a three-ton yacht named the Falcon - a converted lifeboat with little room for comfort and even less margin for error - Knight and his companion slip from familiar English waters into the North Sea and onward through the waterways and canals of Holland and Germany, bound for the Baltic and Copenhagen. What begins as an exercise in simple coastal wandering soon becomes a rolling test of seamanship: fickle winds, shoals and sandbars, crowded shipping lanes, and the nagging worry of equipment that never behaves as it should. Along the way, Knight lingers over practical details - stores, handling, anchoring, and navigation in strange ports - while also sketching sharp, often funny portraits of the people they meet: sailors, harbor officials, innkeepers, and curious locals drawn to the tiny foreign craft. By turns instructional, observant, and wryly adventurous, this classic travelogue captures the everyday drama of going to sea in a very small boat.

The Radium Pool by Edward Earl Repp audiobook.

Genre: scifi

In the heat-blasted emptiness of Death Valley, reporter James Dowell expects a routine assignment: tag along with Professor Bloch and document a scientific expedition into the forbidding Manalava Plains. Instead, a weathered prospector called Driftin' Sands draws Dowell into a decades-long mystery - the disappearance of Allie Lane, the woman Sands has hunted for across the desert's shifting horizons. Their search leads beyond dry washes and volcanic ridges to something no map admits: a hidden cavern world where stalactites gleam with unnatural light and an immense pool of shimmering, corrosive radiance pulses like a living thing. Strange tracks, half-human remains, and whispers of towering, frog-faced beings turn the rescue into a confrontation with an intelligence that does not belong on Earth. As Bloch's theories collide with brutal reality, Dowell and Sands must decide how far they will go for love, wealth, and answers, while a silent warning presses at the edge of their minds. Fast, eerie, and steeped in pulp-era wonder, The Radium Pool blends desert adventure with subterranean science-fantasy and the dread of trespassing where humans are not welcome.

Happiness - Essays on the Meaning of Life by Carl Hilty audiobook.

Genre: philosophy

In Happiness - Essays on the Meaning of Life, Swiss jurist and public thinker Carl Hilty offers a clear-eyed, compassionate exploration of what it means to live well when comfort, ambition, and certainty all fall short. Written as a sequence of short essays rather than a single argument, the book moves through the practical and the profound: work and vocation, character and self-mastery, friendship and society, suffering and resilience, and the quiet inner life where purpose is tested. Hilty speaks to the listener as a fellow traveler, challenging the popular idea that happiness is mainly a feeling to be chased. Instead, he insists it is a steadier outcome of how a person chooses to think, serve, and endure. Drawing on moral philosophy and a broadly Christian spiritual outlook, Hilty asks what habits make a life coherent, how to face disappointment without shrinking, and why meaning is often found through responsibility rather than escape. The result is an intimate handbook of reflection: firm but humane, idealistic but grounded, and aimed at anyone who wants a deeper definition of happiness than pleasure or success can provide.

Invisible Helpers by C. W. Leadbeater audiobook.

Genre: religion

Invisible Helpers is C. W. Leadbeater's classic theosophical exploration of the unseen aid that, he argues, surrounds ordinary life. Blending anecdote with instruction, Leadbeater opens a door onto a hidden world where help can arrive at the edge of danger, illness, grief, or sudden crisis - sometimes perceived as angels, guides, or providential strangers, and sometimes as living people working outside the physical body while it sleeps. Through vivid accounts of timely rescues and quiet interventions, he sketches what he calls a 'band of helpers' and describes how such assistance might operate on the astral plane and in the borderlands between life and death. The second half turns practical and reflective: Leadbeater outlines the mental discipline, emotional steadiness, and ethical motives he believes are required to recognize this work, communicate intelligently, and avoid self-deception. Qualities like calmness, self-control, unselfishness, and focused intent become not just spiritual ideals but tools for service. Part metaphysical casebook and part handbook for aspiring seekers, Invisible Helpers asks what responsibility comes with expanded perception - and whether compassion can act even when no one is watching.

Bill Nye's Sparks by Bill Nye audiobook.

Genre: comedy

Humorist Bill Nye, in his brief 46 years, served as justice of the peace, newspaperman, miner, and postmaster in the rough town of Laramie, Wyoming. This 1901 edition, published after his death, includes a Biographical tribute to Nye, quoting his dear friend, Hoosier poet James Whitcomb Riley: 'He was unselfish wholly, and I am broken-hearted, recalling the always patient strength and gentleness of this true man, the unfailing hope and cheer and faith of his child-heart, his noble and heroic life, and pure devotion to his home, his deep affections, constant dreams, plans and realizations.' This book of humorous stories and essays are wonderful examples of Nye's 'child-heart' of mirth.

Bill Nye and Boomerang by Bill Nye audiobook.

Genre: comedy

In Bill Nye and Boomerang, 19th-century American humorist Bill Nye (not the modern science communicator) invites listeners into a fast-talking, tall-tale West where newspapers are born in livery-stable lofts, mining camps breed unlikely philosophy, and one long-suffering mule becomes a legend. Anchored by Nye's affectionate, outrageous dedication to his mule Boomerang, this collection stitches together comic sketches, mock-epics, and frontier anecdotes that move from dusty Wyoming streets to the odd corners of everyday American life. Nye casts himself as a sharp-eyed narrator and accidental ringmaster, juggling miners, townsfolk, would-be entrepreneurs, and assorted self-important characters, all while Boomerang drifts in and out like a deadpan co-star. The central struggle is not a single mystery to solve, but a constant attempt to wrest meaning, dignity, and a paycheck out of a world that refuses to behave logically. With punchy satire, playful exaggeration, and a fondness for skewering pomposity, Nye turns small setbacks into grand comic disasters and ordinary observations into social commentary. The result is a lively snapshot of frontier attitudes and American absurdity, powered by a voice that treats hardship, hype, and human folly as equal opportunities for laughter.
