Jamaica Inn | Daphne Du Maurier

pick

I absolutely loved this masterpiece from the very beginning. The haunting Cornish moors, the menacing atmosphere of the inn, and Mary Yellan‘s fierce determination drew me into a vivid world of smuggling, secrets, and suspense. Du Maurier‘s lush prose and masterful ability to build dread made every twist and turn thrilling, keeping me on the edge of my seat.

Gallant | V.E. Schwab

so-so

⭐️⭐️⭐️

“Gallant” was a perfect spooky and creepy read for Halloween, but it fell a bit flat for me. I‘m typically a fan of V.E. Schwab‘s books, however I just wasn‘t that into the story and its characters. The illustrations were interesting, but I even had trouble liking the ending of the book. It‘s not a bad book or that it‘s badly written, it just wasn‘t 100% for me.

The Great God Pan and Other Horror Stories | Arthur Machen

I appreciate this warning! I hate when I start to read a book and the introduction spoils me. (Plus, I know plenty of people like spoilers, so this is useful for them, too!)

monalyisha Yes! More of this! 15h

AshleyHoss820 It‘s crazy that I am also reading this one right now! 😂 I was just thinking this the other day, though. I started an intro and started to sense there would be spoilers ahead, so I quit. A warning would be great! ☺️ 15h

Clare-Dragonfly Huh. I may have put my comment for this chapter on yesterday‘s post. My chapters are numbered differently. 16h

Bklover @Clare-Dragonfly Mine are too. I think this is chapter 13??? 16h

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly @Bklover if your book isn‘t separated into parts, you should be on chapter 13 today, since day 1 was the letters 16h

Bklover Thanks!! Then I‘m good. 🙂 16h

Clare-Dragonfly Yeah, I‘m reading at the right pace, just not necessarily commenting in the right place 😂 16h

Frankenstein | Mary W. Shelley

My local library branch just reopened after renovations, so OF COURSE kiddo and I were here shortly after opening. This shelf display has me 🧐🤨 Is Frankenstein dark academia? Inquiring minds want to know.

MuddyPuddle Good question! 23h

Litsi No 22h

Cathythoughts I‘ve only just started the book, good question. Maybe not in the traditional sense, but I see dark academia here …. 20h

Clare-Dragonfly Huh… it‘s a stretch but not entirely wrong. Victor goes to university to do all his creating. 16h

ravenlee @MuddyPuddle @Litsi @Cathythoughts @Clare-Dragonfly I can see how you could make the argument, and I agree that there are elements of dark academia, but I think it‘s more adjacent than full-on DA. But while I know Frankenstein reasonably well, I‘m no expert on DA as a genre. 15h

If you have ever listened to PINK FLOYED, you know they use a lot of just instruments instead of words. I am a big fan of this group. #HauntsandHexes Terrifying
