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.
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).
"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.

Thanks. I need to listen to this. HPL has a distinct "smell" that none of his contemporaries can match. Somehow his stories sometimes give me shivers.

Second this! Will be interesting to see how the apple tv show adapts book two.
No super recent but I listened to Devolution by Max Brooks (World War Z author) while trail running in the PNW
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devolution_(Brooks_novel)
It's read by Judy Greer (among others) and I liked it a lot.
The Bobiverse series is a top notch sci-fi audiobook with great narration. https://audiobookdb.net/series/3B5S2xAj
or if you want a single audiobook you have to listen to Project Hail Mary from the author of the Martian https://audiobookdb.net/audiobooks/Vg0f71nk
hope you enjoy these

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’ve been listening to The Road to Serfdom by FA Hayek. It’s quite interesting.
For cosmic horror “a colder war” by Charlie stross is great.
Beyond the Wall was a really interesting listen about the DDR.
Haruki Murakami's What I talk about when I talk about running was a nice listen. For bonus points, listen while running obviously.
The Last Lion, Winston Spencer Churchill.
