Abraham Lincoln - The Practical Mystic by Francis Grierson audiobook.
Genre: biography

This evocative portrait traces Lincoln’s solitary habits, dreams, and moments of moral reckoning against the thunder of the Civil War, inviting listeners to understand how private grief and prophetic insight informed public action. Grierson’s prose moves between anecdote and philosophical reflection, painting Lincoln as a “practical mystic” whose uncommon inner life—his sense of destiny, his wrestling with conscience, and his capacity for compassion—became a guiding force in a nation’s darkest hour.

Last Post by Ford Madox Ford ~ Full Audiobook [drama]
Last Post by Ford Madox Ford audiobook.
Genre: drama
Last Post, the quietly devastating final volume of Ford Madox Ford’s Parade’s End tetralogy, is an elegiac meditation on memory, loss and the slow unravelling of an era. Set in the uneasy aftermath of the First World War, the novel follows Christopher Tietjens — rigid, honorable, and emotionally reserved — as he navigates the wreckage of marriage, class and conscience while the world around him slips into a new, less certain order. Ford’s prose moves between wry clarity and haunting interior reverie, rendering ordinary scenes — a country house, a ruined estate, a brief encounter — as charged with the weight of history and private regret. Listeners will be drawn into the subtle, often painful dynamics between Christopher, the mercurial Sylvia and the idealistic Valentine, experiencing through voice and rhythm the novel’s moral complexities and its spare, music-like cadences. For anyone who loves character-driven literature, psychological nuance and the elegiac beauty of modernist writing, Last Post is an immersive, emotionally rich audiobook that lingers long after the final line.

The Diamond Lens with Other Stories by Fitz-James OBrien ~ Full Audiobook [scifi]
The Diamond Lens with Other Stories by Fitz-James OBrien audiobook.
Genre: scifi
Step into the shadowed laboratories and gaslit parlors of Victorian imagination with The Diamond Lens with Other Stories, a beguiling collection by Fitz-James O’Brien where scientific curiosity and supernatural dread collide. At the heart of the collection, “The Diamond Lens” follows an obsessive microscopist who grinds a jewel into a lens capable of revealing an astonishing hidden world — a fragile, luminous life no human eye has seen before — and the strange, beautiful, and tragic consequences that follow when obsession turns discovery into desire. Surrounding this centerpiece are tales that shift from eerie ghost stories to early speculative and proto-science-fiction experiments, each written with O’Brien’s elegant prose, dry wit, and a keen sense of the uncanny. These stories are equal parts wonder and warning: vivid period detail and inventive premise make for haunting twists, moral ambiguity, and a persistent sense that curiosity can open doors better left unopened. Perfect for listeners who love richly atmospheric narration, moral complexity, and the creaking thrill of nineteenth-century speculative fiction, this audiobook promises jolts of horror, sparks of science, and the melancholy beauty of discoveries that change everything.

With Trumpet and Drum by Eugene Field audiobook.
Genre: poetry
With Trumpet and Drum is a charming, lyrical collection of verse from Eugene Field that invites listeners into a world of small wonders, gentle humor, and wistful longing.

Perfect for family listening or a solitary evening, the poems move with a sing-song cadence and surprising emotional depth: one moment they sparkle with mischievous laughter, the next they reach toward a tender melancholy that will resonate with adults as much as with children. Read aloud, these pieces unfold like a lullaby-book come to life, full of vivid images, rhythmic lines, and the kind of comforting nostalgia that makes listeners smile, sigh, and return again and again.
