    The Artist and the Door by Dorothy Quick - I bought the door–even though the auctioneer warned of evil. 
Dorothy Gertrude Quick was born in Brooklyn on September 1st 1896. She was a prolific writer of horror, detective fiction, poetry, and nonfiction. Dorothy was a girl of 11 when she met Mark Twain, actually Samuel L. Clemens, on an Atlantic crossing from England. She was returning to Plainfield, N.J., from Europe with her parents. Recognizing Twain by his wavy hair and white suit, she walked around and around the deck, passing very slowly by his chair each time, until he finally came over and introduced himself. 
It was the beginning of a friendship that was to last until the very day of his death. After the voyage she received a telegram from Twain asking whether she would prefer as a birthday present "one elephant or 10,000 monkeys." She replied that she would prefer his books - which he sent her, along with a tiny white elephant. If you’ve seen the 1991 TV movie “Mark Twain and Me” well, now you know who wrote it. 
The Artist and the Door was published in Weird Tales magazine in November 1952.

    12-year old Riley's best friend is Shelley, a friendly ghost girl who loves to explore, play pranks, and bake cookies. But when Riley's family moves into a haunted mansion with real ghost hunters, Shelley helps save the family from the spooky trickster ghosts living there by teaching Riley ghostbuster skills. 
Full storyline description: 
Riley is a lonely kid who has trouble making new friends since her dad's job often causes them to move around a lot. One day a quirky, rainbow-haired ghost girl named Shelley starts following Riley home from school. At first Riley is scared but Shelley proves to be friendly and fun by baking with her and making her laugh constantly.  
But when Riley's family buys a creepy old mansion to renovate and sell, Shelley gets worried. She warns Riley that this "perfect" house is haunted by a group of nasty trickster ghosts who play mean pranks on living people and drive them away. Shelley worries the other ghosts will scare Riley away too. 
Shelley comes up with the idea to train Riley in ghost hunting skills like detecting spectral presences, using warding circles, communicating through EVP recorders, and even specialized gadgets Shelley designed herself to combat ghosts. Together Riley and her best ghost friend work covertly to outwit the scheming ghosts and ultimately convince Riley's parents to abandon their renovation attempts rather than get hurt. 
Along the way Riley comes to learn that ghosts were once real people with feelings too. With Shelley's help, Riley is finally able to convince the ghosts to move on to a better place and leave her family's dream house in peace.

    From award–winning author Glennette Tilley Turner comes the little–known story of Harriet Tubman’s daring rescue of her enslaved brothers on Christmas Day.This historical children's audiobook about the legendary Underground Railroad conductor, abolitionist, and suffragist was written based on personal interviews with Tubman’s last surviving relative. A story of courage, hope, and family, The Gift of Freedom takes listeners on an inspiring journey during one of America’s darkest times.Harriet Tubman was always a keen observer. She learned to use the North Star for a compass, to tell time by the stars, and to find her way by natural signs as well as any hunter could.She could navigate dense forests, locate waterways in the area, and identify the white Quakers and Black mariners who were willing to help enslaved people escape.When Tubman first fled north, she knew she might never have another chance to run away. Yet after she arrived safely in the free city of Philadelphia, she risked her own freedom again and again to help other Freedom Seekers—and those she’d had to leave behind.She never forgot her family in Maryland, and on Christmas Day in 1854, Tubman returned again, hoping to give three of her brothers the best possible gift—the gift of freedom!

    Gambler's Asteroid by Manly Wade Wellman - Patch Merrick and Zaarrgon Try to Win a Stake in Order to Escape the Vengeance of a Dazzling but Dangerous Beauty! 
The asteroid Hector was once a jagged space-crumb with few attractions, little gravity and no atmosphere whatever, but a shrewd Venusian opportunist changed all that. He had encased the tiny world in glassite and artificially speeded up an already lively spin. What fuel fed his atomic turbines was a mystery, but it was powerful stuff indeed. Centrifugal force did the rest. The glassite sheath prevented the oxygen from escaping and the glassite served as a transparent floor for visiting gamblers. 
Gambling supported Hector. There were cafes, entertainers, luxury apartments, but gambling drew the crowds. Many fortunes were lost at Hector's tables, and not so many won. Even king gamblers came to brief. And big Patch Merrick, for all his many skills, was no king gambler. 
He stood at a silvery table in the main salon. From somewhere seeped Venusian chirp-water music. A Martian joy-lamp shed stimulus-rays overhead. The televisos on the walls presented a variety of spectacles-formalized comi-tragedy for Martians, Terrestrial news events for Earthmen, and an attitude dance by a Ganymedean girl for outer planet inhabitants. Under the glassite floor whirled Heaven's star-sparked abyss. In the midst of this splendor, Merrick wagered his last value-units. 
"Play" chorused the fringe of gamblers. There were froggy Venusians, Terrestrial junketers, Jovian colonials of varied descent. Only Martians, who sometimes read minds, were excluded from play. They only watched, their squidlike bodies metal-harnessed beneath their robes, their flowery craniums nodding, their artificial larynxes slurring amused comment.

    Postmark Ganymede by Robert Silverberg - Consider the poor mailman of the future. To "sleet and snow and dead of night"—things that must not keep him from his appointed rounds—will be added, sub-zero void, meteors, and planets that won't stay put. Maybe he'll decide that for six cents an ounce it just ain't worth it. 
"I'm washed up," Preston growled bitterly. "They made a postman out of me. Me—a postman!" 
He crumpled the assignment memo into a small, hard ball and hurled it at the bristly image of himself in the bar mirror. He hadn't shaved in three days—which was how long it had been since he had been notified of his removal from Space Patrol Service and his transfer to Postal Delivery. 
Suddenly, Preston felt a hand on his shoulder. He looked up and saw a man in the trim gray of a Patrolman's uniform. 
"What do you want, Dawes?" 
"Chief's been looking for you, Preston. It's time for you to get going on your run." 
Preston scowled. "Time to go deliver the mail, eh?" He spat. "Don't they have anything better to do with good spacemen than make letter carriers out of them?"
