Well, well, well there‘s an evil magic ring in this Swedish version of Dracula. A ruby ring.

Could this 1899-1900 version have any influence on Tolkien? Did Tolkien read Swedish? He was a language genius, so maybe.

Bookwomble Magic rings are deeply embedded in folklore and mythology, so Tolkien is much more likely to draw his inspiration from the Northern European and English traditions that were his life work. I can't definitely say he didn't read that book, but I'd think it unlikely. It's fascinating, though, that the Swedish translator of Dracula was probably drawing on the same cultural motifs 😊 54m

3✨ This is a concept that I never fully understood. Trying to look your best so much that your life revolves around chasing the fountain of youth. The fantasy element and time jumping had me a little lost, but our narrator was confused too. The ending had me scratching my head, but overall a nail biting story. #HTBookClub

Salem's Lot | Stephen King

I‘d been searching for this book for quite awhile and finally found it on vacation in Maine! Quite fitting I thought! Ben Mears comes back to Jerusalems Lot many years after experiencing an incident that‘s stuck with him ever since. Once he arrives into town, strange things begin to happen, a young boy goes missing and death is floating around every corner. As usual, Kings cute small towns are always full of secrets. Classic King and recommend!

Just a friendly note from Chloe Okoye or mommy‘s little hellhound princess.
Mommy has been exhausted and not feeling well. She would like to thank @MaleficentBookDragon for another awesome swap. Also, thank you to Elizabeth L for the fun box and books to keep my mom company while she takes time to rest. She did send out some Litsy mail and hope it reaches everyone. She is still behind. Now back to annoying my brother.

This 2nd book in the #SwornSoldierSeries is my favorite! Alex & Angus are headed back to their home country & to the hunting lodge Alex inherited long ago. When they arrive, they quickly learn they need a new caretaker (& someone to act as a chaperone for our favorite mycologist‘s upcoming visit!). The locals are nervous about a moth/spirit sucking hag, though the grandmother & grandson they find are both scene stealers! Alex‘s PTSD features here.

It | Stephen King

Are any of yall fellow #LosersClub members watching Welcome to Derry??? I am thoroughly enjoying it so far.

It was one of the books that I read way too young for my brain to fathom what was going on, but oh how i loved it! And then fell in love with horror and all things #StephenKing.

Curious to get others optinons on this adapation.

Lands It‘s pretty gory even for King is what I heard. I haven‘t watched it yet. I‘ve watched a couple YouTube videos about it. I‘m waiting to see if Marge and Rich are really Richie‘s parents. 2d

ElizaMarie @Lands Gory and disturbing yes. I am enjoying the horror of the show, its got the jump scares, the slow dread, the gore, just a lot of different aspects of horror all in one show. 2d
BarkingMadRead Me!! It‘s so horror filled, I‘m loving it! 2d
dabbe @ElizaMarie Nope. Where is is streaming? 2d
ElizaMarie @dabbe Its on HBO 1d
ElizaMarie @BarkingMadRead OOO me too! It's one of those shows where I was WTF to my husband, who is also thoroughly enjoying it! 1d
dabbe @ElizaMarie Thanks! We'll check it out! 1d
JessClark78 I am! The husband and I are watching it. We‘re loving it so far. So much more graphic than I was expecting. 1d
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick That certainly was an opening scene! I'm enjoying it so far. I love that it's actually creepy and gross at times. So much horror tends to fall flat with me because I'm almost desensitized to most of it. I do much better with gore & body harm than say paranormal activity or exorcism-related scares. 11h

I love Kingfisher‘s writing & decided to #SeriesBinge her #SwornSoldierSeries—novellas featuring Alex Easton, a late 19th century soldier who travels to visit old friends in this reimagining of Poe‘s #TheFallOfTheHouseOfUsher. Drawing you right in with the desolate landscape & a fun cameo from Beatrix Potter‘s mycologist aunt, this strange tale keeps getting stranger as Alex investigates the cause of the strange illness plaguing the siblings.
