Although this book was published in 1983, Susan Hill wrote it like a true Victorian/Edwardian author would. I checked multiple times because I had trouble believing it was only written 42 years ago. I love the premise of the ghost story, but it took too long to get to the point. Plus, her writing is something to get used to as you‘re reading. The ending was NOT what I expected though. I would still recommend for the overall story.

Le Fanu ♥️ “Green Tea” is my favorite— books & pots of tea leading to more awareness than sanity can contain intrigues me (obv.).

& Dr. H‘s hypothesis about the metaphysical matter is pure Victorian science, akin to adding a bit about quantum physics to a story today.

Mesmerism was a very real at the time this was published. The relationship between physical & mental ambiguous. Stories on the border between paranormal & mystery are so thrilling!

Finished the series! (Technically, there‘s still the Shrieking Skull, but it‘s a reread.)

Even Christmas in July can make it the most wonderful time of the year. I went into July upset, anxious, & weary. I‘m feeling more refreshed now. Still mad, but braver 😈

I know they‘re “just” stories, but they‘re really not. If I‘m going to remain hopeful, I need plants & books & coffee. I treated myself to a garden reading day & it was the best decision.

The ghost stories in this one are American, entirely collected from newspapers, & much more realistic. They have a level of grit; they have heft. I prefer the aesthetic of a British ghost. Give me fancy! Still, I recommend for the sheer number of glowing skeletons.

Merry Christmas in July! On this day, Will Smith defended Earth against alien invasion.

To celebrate, we will be watching all of our favorite holiday movies, reading Victorian ghost stories, & making iced horchata hot chocolate while eating an absolutely ridiculous feast of all our favorite foods.

I also highly recommend this series of ghost stories 👻 it‘s become one of our traditions to read one aloud before bed 🎄 they make great gifts, too!

dabbe What fun! 🤩😍🤩 3mo
