I‘m not sure why I finished this one—maybe out of spite? It‘s a collection of short stories in a style that is a mixture of the worst aspects of hard-boiled detective stories, Lovecraft, and sometimes Hemingway. Very macho characters who are very proud of their penises. The stories are not even scary, just annoying.

While I loved the first few stories, the last half felt like it had nothing to do with the rest and was only added because Chambers had them done and wanted them published. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ photo featuring a curious Goblin #catsoflitsy

@AshRob22 !! Thank you so much for this AMAZING #HauntedHollowSwap package! The “reading ghost” cross-stitch is absolutely stunning. I adore it!

You chose some perfect reads for me and I love everything else: the hair scrunchies, pumpkin mug, earrings, bookmark, skeletal servers 😆, and candies! Perfection! Happy Halloween, friend! 🎃🎃🎃

Thank you once again, @wanderinglynn , for organizing this great swap! 🎃🎃🎃

Some potential late October spooky reads.

snapsnarlgrowl Thornyhold is an affectionate parody of the gothic romance, from one of the genre‘s best. It certainly wasn‘t what I was expecting going in, but it was fun! 3w

Some times Libro.fm comes through with great audiobooks I didn‘t expect. This BBC dramatization of Algernon Black ghost stories is the best find for the fall months. I am keeping it in reserve for Halloween but the first story in the book was just great so I think I am going to love the rest

Thank you once again for this great gift @TheAromaOfBooks

Rober Aickman doesn't call his stories horror, but rather “strange stories“, and I think they're exactly that. I loved the eerie atmosphere and Aickman's ideas. I was also surprised to find stories told from a female point of view.
Some stories were a bit too long and too slow for me. But this book was still a positive read to me, and I am glad I got to know Robert Aickman.
