Welcome to Litsy!

Four spooky tales to cap off #Scarathlon2020 #TeamHarkness #Screamathon #littenlisten #CreatureFeaturethon +121

Starting my audio-athon with some Edgar Allan Poe read by the amazing Sir Christopher Lee! #littenlisten #scarathlon #TeamHarkness #screamathon @StayCurious @aperfectmjk @4thhouseontheleft

"The Half-Bottle of Amontillado" doesn't have quite the right ring to it, but I couldn't run to a whole cask! Anyway, a small glass of the amber nectar to enjoy along with Poe's devilish short story, perfectly illustrated by Arthur Rackham ?

I have to say I have fallen in love with Gothic lit!

Published; 1933.

Love an old purchase! 😍

I don‘t know if 2 books is actually a #bookhaul
Regardless, this is the result of today‘s visit to the used book shop.

Yesterday I found a 1933 edition of Tales of Mystery and Imagination in a charity shop. I paid Qa.99 for it and it‘s in really good condition. Love a bargain oldie!

Ok, ok...not so creative with this one today. But come on...what do you think of when you hear raven? 🤣
My favorite Poe is The Tell Tale Heart, though. What‘s yours?

A match made in Hades: the infernally mellifluous voice of Christopher Lee narrating the gothically sinister words of Edgar Allan Poe. Set horripilation to eleven! 🐱🦇🧟‍♀️☠

Fully into the spirit of Poe reading again. #edgarallanpoe #talesofmysteryandimagination #classic #vintage

Love my growing collection of tee shirts from @outofprint 🤓

I must say that it surprised me that some stories were kind of a hard read. But, oh, Mr Poe‘s imagination! Nothing like it. Basically liked them all, but my heart still belongs to what was when I was about 9-10, my first ever creepy read: “The murders at the rue Morgue.” 💀📚

Morning! ☕️ 📖

Its Friday and Poe knows it! 💃🏾

“In the consideration of the faculties and impulses - of the prima mobilia of the human soul, the phrenologists have failed to make room for a propensity which, although obviously existing as a radical, primitive, irreducible sentiment, has been equally overlooked by all the moralists who have preceded them. In the pure arrogance of the reason, we have all overlooked it...” #firstlines

So it‘s just past 4 am here and I can‘t sleep, so I decided to sort these books. There are about 30, and these three (Tales of mystery, A French Robinson Caruso, and A Tale of Two Cities) are the most recognizable and in the best condition. My great great grandmother carried the collection of them with her when they migrated from Belgium to Canada in about 1945. Most of the editions aren‘t dated, but the ones that are are 1910-1925. #oldbooks 🛳🗺

Getting the house ready for Halloween...

What is bigger, the book or the glass of wine 🍷 haha

Most Poe narrators are.#insaneinthebrain the Illustration is Rackham's for The Imp of the Perverse. This is the lovely edition I have. #90sinJuly @Cinfhen @Robothugs

Well, Poe tales move in #mysteriousways Ligeia here, for instance. #rockinmay @Cinfhen
