I listen to audiobooks a lot. Having something to listen to helps me with my anxiety when I'm out of the house and helps me concentrate. My favorite authors are Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. However, I've listened to or read their whole collection. (and re read a few times)

I need new books! I've also wanted to find some horror novels, but I like spooky scary, not blood and guts scary.

I don't know how much help I can be. My very favorite Author is James Patterson. He writes those 'I can't put down type of books" and you get really invested in the characters. I hope this helps a little. He has a lot of books, some were made into movies. Hugs GB

Do you use the library to borrow books or a website?
I love listening to books for the same reasons as you. I also like Podcasts, if you're on iTunes.
For books though, I generally use podiobooks.com they're free and you can search but genre too.

Hope this helps!!

I so love James Patterson too. And Danielle Steel, and many more. Honestly reading is my saviour. When I read I do not focus on all my problems. I reserve books at the library.
