Welcome to Litsy!

First read of 2025 is my #TBRTarot pick. This is a solid collection of short stories. My favorites from it are “A Study in Black and White”, “The Hanging of the Greens”, and “Confinement”.

Finished this one the other night. It was fine - a little disappointing, but I can‘t quite articulate why. Most of the stories felt a bit undercooked, if that makes sense. There were three that I‘d say I enjoyed: The Eel Singers by Natasha Pulley; The Chillingham Chair by Laura Purcell; and The Hanging of the Greens by Andrew Michael Hurley. The others had potential but somehow fell flat for me.

Some morning short fiction with Casey, who still believes it‘s indecent to get up before 10:00. I‘m enjoying these very British, very Victorian winter ghost stories.

“And the carrots? They could be anywhere.“

s a perfect blend of humor and spookiness, making it a hit with kids who enjoy a little thrill with their laugh

Jasper Rabbit loves carrots—especially the ones he can grab anytime he wants from Crackenhopper Field. But when he starts seeing creepy carrots following him everywhere, he‘s sure something strange is going on

Inching closer to my 31 hour goal. Enjoyed this spooky read. Loved the illustrations.

Been wanting to read this for a year now, and I finally made it happen just in time for Halloween. Such a great story, and just creepy enough for kiddos. I love the illustrations too. This is the kind of tale to retell by a fire outdoors! 💀
