Thanks @julesG @TrishB @CGainor3 @squirrelbrain @scripturient @Leniverse @Oryx for a fab weekend!

I‘ve never read “The Turn of Screw” so don‘t spoil that one for me.

“Florence & Giles” has a slow start but it picks up quickly.

A dark tale with no pat answers. In that it‘s probably also an homage to Henry James‘s tale.

Ugh, so frustrating. Loved this book all the way through and then it ended without answering all the questions. Hate books that leave you wondering.

Edit: actually, the more I think about it, the more I realise that the answers were there all along, they were just all well hidden. On reflection, pretty clever book, I'll be thinking about that one for a while. Dark and twisty for sure

I don't read many mystery books (don't know why) but this one is my favorite so far. I loved the main character who has a passion for books but is not allowed to read and wanders around the mansion she lives in at night just to go to the library. Some things are left for the reader to decide/interpret and that's one of my favorite things about this book.

again, thank you @Librarybelle for hosting this giveaway!

“There i pushed together two of the big leather wing-backed armchairs, toe to toe, and nested me in them with two of the blankets for a bed and the third stretched over the tops of the chair backs to make a canopy.” 😍

#dontrememberbuyingthis I got this used at one bookstore or another, as a long-time TBR for eerie fall reads. #aprilbookshowers

This was bloody brilliant. A subtle yet terrifying gothic read 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Looking forward to the promised terrific atmosphere in this gothic tale.

LOVE this, so far!!!! 👻😱💀

So, for Recommendsday, I'd like to share this baby with you. It's a postmodern re-telling of 'The turn of the screw' and sooo good! #recommendsday

Beautiful. Part Shirley Jackson, part Poe. Just the right mix. #gothicfictionrules
