Atheist Delusions - The Christian Revolution and Its Fashionable Enemies by David Bentley Hart

Excellent response to the New Atheism, made in terms of showing just what it is that Christianity has added to the world and what it might lose when (if) Christianity disappears.

Dance Hall of the Dead by Tony Hillerman

The second in Hillerman's Navaho tribal police series. Listened to it while running; being a Hillerman veteran, I was able to identify the killer fairly quickly, but the mystery isn't the best part of Hillerman. It's his development of Joe Leaphorn and his insights into Navaho culture.

Ghost and Horror Stories by Ambrose Bierce

Don't expect the horrifying ghosts of M.R. James in Bierce's writing; Bierce is more about moral horror.
