Those Who Walk Away
Patricia Highsmith
I’m having another Patricia Highsmith binge. The Tremor of Forgery sent me looking for Hammamet where I once stayed in a hotel writing. Those Who Walk Away is one of my favorites.

The Castle of Otranto
Horace Walpole
I quite liked The Castle of Otranto - a novel by Horace Walpole. First published in 1764, it is generally regarded as the first gothic novel. But I don't like Gothic generally. But that's Georgian. And Jane Austen even wrote a parody Gothic novel. https://twitter.com/quadrophenja/status/1508538193611796483
