Anyone got good book recs? I work a lot but have the space to listen to audiobooks and I've been absolutely dying of boredom!

There is a YouTuber called GriefSpeaking and he does videos on horror web comics and webtoons. He introduced me to “Everything is Fine” which has been a blast for me so far along with “Beneath the trees where nobody Sees”! I highly recommend giving these a shot and even watching him if you need a bunch of recommendations

•Hmmm the original dracula could be fun, it's a nice listen. Dr Jekill and mr Hyde is also fun.
"The 131⁄2 Lives of Captain Bluebear" by Walter Mooers could fit the spooky stuff category too.
It's more on the side of strange, abstract spooky. It's kinda mixing a fairytale book world with a sailor telling tall tales. As a kid I had nightmares, it's a bit of a wild ride, definetly incomprehensible vibes and somewhat episodic. One big story with distinct chapters of Captn bluebears travels.
"Das Rostrote Buch" by Nina Bernstein would also fit the spooky category, kinda Alice in wonderland vibes, though I've only found it in german and don't know if there is an audiobook at all ...

•I hear from friends that the Libby app is great for finding books of interest. I'm not a big reader so I don't have any personal recommendations

•I unfortunately do not have any recs as we have very different reading tastes 
, but I will recommend the app/site StoryGraph. It’s kind of like good reads but has some different features. I’ve found it very helpful for finding new books as you can take a survey of sorts on what you want to read and it will recommend you things. It also has a place for users to submit potential content warnings which I have found really helpful.
