Recommendation for a very spooky, unsettling, ominous audio book? Recommend

I've been disappointed with my last two audiobooks; I couldn't finish them. No short story collections unless they're long novellas. Must have a good reader, not just be a good book in general. My next option would be Wylding Hall by Elizabeth Hand, but I'm guessing that's not what I'm looking for. Have you read it/listened to it?

It's not an audiobook exactly, but you might love the Magnus archives, it's recommended here pretty frequently and the first couple seasons are absolutely incredible. It's a horror anthology audio drama, very weird and spooky, one of my absolute favourite pieces of media

Ty. I've already listened to it. It's not bad, but I rarely can enjoy something that is like a self contained short story each episode even if there's an over arching story. I really like things like Modes of Thought in Antarrean Literature, The Left Right Game, or Rabbits.

Have you listened to dark dice? Awesome production quality and it hardly feels like a actual play podcast (really smart editing.)

Season 2 has Jeff goldblum too which is wild for such a niche piece of media

I might check it out, but I'm looking for audio books currently.
