The Picture of Dorian Gray -...

Oscar Wilde

Written in his distinctively dazzling manner, Oscar Wilde's story of a fashionable young man who sells his soul for eternal youth and beauty is the author's most popular work. The tale of Dorian Gray's moral disintegration caused a scandal when it first appeared in 1890, but though Wilde was attacked for the novel's corrupting influence, he responded that there is, in fact, "a terrible moral in Dorian Gray." Just a few years later, the book and the aesthetic/moral dilemma it presented became issues in the trials occasioned by Wilde's homosexual liaisons, which resulted in his imprisonment. Of Dorian Gray's relationship to autobiography, Wilde noted in a letter, "Basil Hallward is what I think I am: Lord Henry what the world thinks me: Dorian what I would like to be—in other ages, perhaps."

The Thing Behind Hell's Door -...

Robert Silverberg

The Thing Behind Hell's Door by Robert Silverberg - It seemed to be human... but it was inside out, all its organs exposed... the heart beating, the lungs breathing, the stomach digesting... and now, the Thing began to come toward him... its mouth working hideously!
The room was small and obviously hadn't seen a fresh coat of paint in last decade, but Robert Harris decided it wasn't bad for the price. And he needed a to stay. A place where he could study without being disturbed.
The landlady stood behind him, a withered crone who, like the room, had a faintly musty odor. She grinned, showing the puckered redness of her toothless gums. Her teeth, Robert thought sourly, were probably downstairs in a glass of water.
"Like it?" she asked in her hoarse croak of a voice, eagerly.
"It's–very nice," Robert said without enthusiasm.
A twelve–by–fourteen room, a rickety bed, a dirty window whose g'ass was so warped he could hardly see through it, a single tiny closet–it wasn't much of a room at all. But he couldn't argue with a price of six bucks a week. Until he found work here in San Francisco, he was going to have to practice economies. Cheap eating-places, cheap movies, cheap hotel rooms.
The landlady—Mrs. Garvey, that was her name—walked to the window. Dust was thick enough to draw pictures in on the pane. "Lovely view you have from here," she gabbled, indicating the fog-bound street with het twisted forefinger, Robert smiled and nodded. The view was of the other side of the street, a dozen close–packed old ramshackle houses just like this one, here in San Francisco's North Beach district. Some view. Robert shrugged. For six bucks a week, what did the view matter?

Busted! The Real Stories Behind...

Donovan Douglas

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
Everything you learned in history class was wrong.
Think George Washington chopped down a cherry tree and couldn't tell a lie? Nope.
Believe Ben Franklin discovered electricity with a kite? Think again.
Sure that Washington was America's first president? Not exactly.
Welcome to the most entertaining history lesson you'll ever get. Busted! takes a wrecking ball to America's most cherished historical myths, revealing the fascinating truth behind the stories we've been telling ourselves for centuries.
Author Donovan Douglas serves up the real stories with wit, irreverence, and just enough snark to keep you turning pages. From the Founding Fathers' fictional heroics to sanitized tales of American exceptionalism, this book exposes how textbook writers turned messy, complicated history into feel-good fairy tales.
You'll discover:
Why Parson Weems invented the cherry tree story (spoiler: he was trying to sell books)
How Ben Franklin nearly got himself killed chasing lightning
Which eight presidents served before Washington (and why nobody talks about them)
The real stories behind America's most persistent historical lies
This isn't about hating America or tearing down heroes—it's about celebrating the complex, flawed, and genuinely fascinating people who built this country. Because the truth is always more interesting than the myth.
Perfect for history buffs, skeptics, and anyone who suspects their high school textbook might have been full of it.
"Finally, someone brave enough to tell us what really happened—and make it fun to read."
