pickWOW! This book! I don‘t know where to begin. This is certainly not your typical haunted house tale. And I really didn‘t expect to laugh hysterically at the end. That being said, this is not at all a funny book. It‘s horrifying and gory and bloody and mystifying. Unreliable narrator is an understatement and actually does the narrator a disservice. You‘ll have to read it to find out for yourself what is real and what is reality.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Yesterday I talked about my most disappointing reads of 2024 now let‘s talk about my favorite reads of the year. I was in a slump most of the year but I did read a few books that I really enjoyed. And apparently 2024 was the year of horror/thrillers.

I really wanted to read this one so i grabbed it from the library today. Back to the creepy stories!
❤️❤️❤️Aletheia thank you so much for this surprise!! I love it- and am so grateful for our friendship and your thoughtfulness- it means the world to me!
pickCatching up on posting! I've had this ARC, from my days as a bookstore owner, for something like 15 years. My husband read it back then and recommended it, but I only just now got to it. It's fantastic. So atmospheric and nice and long.
pickA collection of short ghost stories all written by the author. Like many collections, it's a mixed bag - some of the stories are really quite effective with the ambience & creeping sense of menace, whereas others either wander off into too much extraneous detail or frustratingly fizzle out just as they're getting good. Given James's background, it shouldn't come as a surprise that so many of the stories are based around religion & the Church.

Some morning short fiction with Casey, who still believes it‘s indecent to get up before 10:00. I‘m enjoying these very British, very Victorian winter ghost stories.
