pickWhat could be better than a book of haunting short stories picked by Edward Gorey? Same book with Edward Gorey illustrations. These short stories will make you shiver and one or two might make you sleep with the lights on. I loved this book, so much. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

pickA work of modern gothic. Harwood keeps readers engaged with a tale spawning from the narrators‘ experience; the additions of intertwining ‘lost‘ stories written prophetically years before. It has all elements that keep readers guessing, doubting, and enchanted. Supernatural or madness? Research or recluse? Cannot say more good things-just reading it is an experience!

Here is my list for March.
I finished all 4 of my books from February's list which is amazing for me. I couldn't believe I actually did it. I'm hoping that March is similar.
pickCollege student jillian arrives at a seaside village to collect her ghost hunting uncle's belongings after he falls from a cliff to his death but finds herself doing some ghost hunting of her own with the help of a Scotland yard detective.
Set in 1920's England, a ghost with an intriguing backstory, mystery, light on the romance and dark, stormy ambiance of the fishing village all ties together for a perfect ⭐⭐⭐⭐ gothic read
Getting more snow and ice soon, so needing some isolation stories. This and, possibly, The Worst Journey in the World.
so-soI got this from my book club‘s mystery Christmas book exchange. It was an OK read but I felt the writing had a tendency to be too repetitive, and some of the events felt too obviously like plot devices. Maybe I‘m just too cynical for ghost stories!

pickIn 1935, five men set off to follow in the ill-fated footsteps of the 1905 expedition up Kangchenjunga. Little do they know the mountain is hiding a dark secret. I like historical and psychological horror but this one was a soft pick. There was just so many opportunities to make this story truly horrifying, disturbing, and unsettling but Paver chose to take a safer route. I‘m hoping her other book Dark Matter will make me afraid of the dark.
