@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.
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
Now on the 𝑺𝒕𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒈 𝑺𝒐𝒏𝒈𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑫𝒆𝒂𝒅 blog, the interesting history of Arthur Machen's use of #shapenotes in his 1907 horror novel, 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑯𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒐𝒇 𝑫𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒎𝒔:

pickThank 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.

Thank you so much @TheAromaOfBooks for this stunning beauty of a book 😍 I can't wait to read it! ❤
Not going to review this one simply because I did not read it in an ideal way and also: what is there to say about it? If you like Ligotti it is A Lot of Ligotti; if you're new to Ligotti I'd probably say find something of his in another anthology? The stories are pretty similar, tonally and image-wise.
