“Elle est morte!”
Lenobia‘s world exploded with the sound of a scream and three small words.
“She is dead?” Jeanne, the scullery maid working beside her, paused in her kneading of the plump, fragrant bread dough.

I‘m surprised I got SEVEN on this list, as someone who‘s really not into scary/creepy/horror! The three on the left are favorites from this list (although I was surprised to see Name of the Rose on there!). The three on the right I‘ve read the book and watched one or more movie adaptations. With Dracula and The Dead Zone, I enjoyed the book more, but Hitchcock‘s Rebecca tops both the book & the recent movie version for me!
“Even as I am, the slave of my thirst, I am freer than I would be as the slave of your gift.”
“What the deuce are you implying, Jack?”
I learned something with this quote. I was surprised to see it (a friend used this phrase all the time) and learned they said this back then (17th century) for real!
“I can see now that I behaved like a fathead…”
“…I can see now what a total and utter fathead I‘ve been.”
I love the usage of “fathead” here because I use that term daily 😂 it tickles me to see it in books/out in the wild
“Vampires, the whole lot of them,” Vambéry says. “They are rising from their graves.”
pickA collection of vampire themed science fiction stories, written from the 1930‘s to the 1980‘s. I didn‘t remember I had this book on my shelf but I‘m reading my physical TBR and this book came up. It was a nice surprise with some pretty good stories. There were stories by Ray Bradbury and Roger Zelazny, two of my favorite authors from my childhood. Really there wasn‘t a bad story in the bunch.
