Welcome to Litsy!

“It snowed all week. Wheels and footsteps moved soundlessly on the street, as if the business of living continued secretly behind a pale but impenetrable curtain. In the falling quiet there was no sky or earth, only snow lifting in the wind, frosting the window glass, chilling the rooms, deadening and hushing the city.”
- Truman Capote in ‘Miriam‘ from tagged book.

I‘m now intrigued to read this creepy short story!

I've posted this before, but it's been awhile. I love this two volume set edited by Straub. Straub's intention is to outline, through the stories, a broader history than what is usually allowed a restrictive genre label such as "horror.". I find fantastic a satisfying term. Not strictly #fantasy Rather, the artistic & spiritual ancestor of speculative fiction. The sibling to Jeff Vandermeer's Weird.

More book therapy, thanks to library. Two of these have been adapted into two of my favorite movies-Barry Gifford's Sailor and Luna books were the basis for David Lynch's "Wild at Heart" and the book on the very bottom is the graphic novel that "Snow Piercer" is based on.

#funfridayphoto I like this anthology of American horror writing featuring stories from the 1700s through to modern day.

I'm so happy for the first day of autumn and to show off a couple of my #scarybooks. I looked out the window and am amazed how many leaves are already on the ground here in New England. #somethingforsept #septphotochallenge
