I have a long flight coming up and Iβm looking for audiobook recommendations β fiction or non-fiction. If itβs fiction would be interested in cosmic horror or sci fi genres.

I really enjoyed the Edward Herrman narration of the "At the Mountains of Madness" when I listened to it years ago.
What struck me is how it still feels haunting even decades later; it aged quite well. I couldn't help shake the creepy feeling there was something unearthly at the edges of our world.
Beyond the Wall was a really interesting listen about the DDR.
Iβve been listening to The Road to Serfdom by FA Hayek. Itβs quite interesting.
"greatest hits", a collection of short stories by Harlan Ellison. Should be available on many platforms, I listened to it on audible.
Mostly sci-fi, some great, some good. Most are read by the author himself, who has a peculiar style ("over the top" perhaps is the best way to describe it).
Some of the stories are classic, so I think it's worth reading/listening to.
Some are just boring and/or confusing for me, ymmv.
I recently finished book 4 of Red Rising series. Its great! The author is finishing the last book and it should be out early next year.
I really enjoyed listening to the Silo series by Hugh Howey recently. I also went through a Stephen King binge years ago and I specifically recall Frank Muller did a great job with the narration on many of the books (sadly he passed away before finishing the Dark Tower series).
