#KindredSpiritsBuddyRead: This week we‘re reading an #LMMAdjacent book—The Haunted & the Haunters by Edward Bulwer-Lytton—with a discussion on Saturday, Nov. 2nd. This is a shorter one: my Kindle edition is 68 pages. All are welcome—let me know if you‘re not tagged and you‘d like to be!

In the comments I‘ll add LMM‘s thoughts about this story⤵️

BarbaraJean “After I got home for keeps I read a perfectly harrowing ghost story. It was the most gruesome thing. I read it in bed and after I had finished it do you suppose I could get out of bed to put the light out? No!! …The story was Lytton‘s ‘The Haunters and the Haunted‘ and I can conscientiously recommend it.”
—LMM Complete Journals, Vol. 2 - June 2, 1902

I‘m planning to read it during daylight just to be safe. 😆

TheAromaofBooks I don't usually read scary stories, so I'm a little terrified 😂 Also I'm only on chapter 12 of Seven Gables, but I am still plugging away! My word, NOTHING IS HAPPENING!!!! 😆 5d
BarbaraJean @TheAromaofBooks Haha—yeah, I‘m not much of a scary-story person either, and in re-reading LMM‘s comment I said: what was I thinking?! I‘m NOT reading it at night 🤣 And I think Seven Gables is the slowest burn ever. He even describes what happens in a very nothing-is-happening way 😏 4d
TheAromaofBooks I marked a sentence the other day where Hawthorne used SEVEN adjectives to describe someone in ONE SENTENCE 😂 4d
