  Fondly Fahrenheit by Alfred Bester - On Paragon III, amidst endless rice fields under a burning orange sky, a sinister discovery sparks an intense manhunt. Escape and survival hinge on unraveling the mystery of an android capable of murder. 
  He doesn’t know which of us I am these days, but they know one truth. You must own nothing but yourself. You must make your own life, live your own life and die your own death ... or else you will die another’s. 
  The rice fields on Paragon III stretch for hundreds of miles like checkerboard tundras, a blue and brown mosaic under a burning. sky of orange. 
  In the evening, clouds whip like smoke, and the paddies rustle and murmur. A long line of men marched across the paddies the evening we escaped from Paragon III. They were silent, armed, intent; a long rank of silhouetted statues looming against the smoking sky. Each man carried a gun. Each man wore a walkie-talkie belt pack, the speaker button in his ear, the microphone bug clipped to his throat, the glowing view-screen strapped to his wrist like a green-eyed watch. The multitude of screens showed nothing but a multitude of individual paths through the paddies. The annunciators uttered no sound but the rustle and splash of steps.  
  The men spoke infrequently, in heavy grunts, all speaking to all. 
  "Nothing here.” 
  "Where’s here?” 
  “Jenson’s fields.” 
  “You’re drifting too far west.” 
  “Close in the line there.” 
  “Anybody covered the Grimson paddy?” 
  “Yeah. Nothing.” 
  “She couldn’t have walked this far.” 
  “Could have been carried.” 
  “Think she’s alive?” 
  “Why should she be dead?”

  The Lava Trolls - Magma Meets Man

  Welcome to "The Lava Trolls: Magma Meets Man," a rollicking audiobook adventure where the absurd meets the underground. In a world where geothermal energy isn't just a fancy term but a cause for underground commotion, our hero, Sparky – a Lava Troll with the curious habit of reflecting his mood in his fiery complexion – finds himself in a bit of a hot spot. 
  Beneath the frosty surface of Iceland, in a realm where the décor is decidedly magma-chic, the Lava Trolls lead a life that's anything but dull. But when human endeavors start shaking their world more than a troll after a chilly swim, Sparky decides it's time to surface for a bit of reconnaissance. After all, in the world of Lava Trolls, 'hot-headed' is a compliment. 
  Narrated with the wit and whimsy reminiscent of a certain Sir of satire, this audiobook is a journey through a world as fantastical as it is fiery. As Sparky encounters the surface-dwellers, or 'humans,' he teams up with Eva, a geothermal engineer who's more at home with a drill than a dragon. Together, they embark on a quest to harmonize the rumbly world below with the bustling life above. 
  Expect to be whisked away on an auditory escapade filled with the sounds of bubbling magma, the hustle and bustle of human life, and the occasional trollish chuckle. This isn't just a story; it's a symphony of absurdities where geysers gush with gusto, and humans and trolls find that, sometimes, the best friendships are the most unlikely. 
  Suitable for listeners who like their fantasy served with a side of satire and a good helping of environmental awareness, "The Lava Trolls: Magma Meets Man" is more than just an audiobook. It's an experience in troll diplomacy, human absurdity, and the art of not taking life too seriously, unless it involves a potential volcanic eruption.

  The Beast in the Cave by H. P. Lovecraft - Lost in the pitch-black depths of a cave, a man faces the terror of the unknown—until he discovers he’s not alone. A chilling tale of primal fear. 
  The Beast in the Cave began its journey in the spring of 1904, with the final draft completed in April 1905—when H. P. Lovecraft was just 14 years old. The knack for crafting compelling tales at such a young age seems to be a hallmark of truly brilliant authors. The Beast in the Cave was first published in the June 1918 issue of the amateur journalism publication The Vagrant.
