Skeleton Crew: Stories

Stephen King

Keeping with the Spooky Reads, I'm also listening to 'Fairy Tale' by Stephen King on audio. King has gone back to the well of stories that he excels at with this one. I keep trying to figure out if there are any Black Tower Easter eggs. Bowditch's pistol may be one! #FridayReads

Monster: The Perfect Edition, Vol. 3

@MidniteLibrary It sounds totally plausible. When I was a big anime fan, I had a person rule to not watch anything that ran longer than 26 episodes, because it just seemed like too much work. The exception was the first 2 arcs of Kenshin and the Monster series based on Naoki Urasawa's manga

For #FridayReads this week, I just started 'Ghost Eaters' by Clay McLeod Chapman as probably my final spooky read for 2022. I really enjoyed the metanarrative nature of 'The Remaking', so I'm excited to see what's in store here.

The Devil Takes You Home

Gabino Iglesias

Fourth book for #LibFaves22 (alphabetical by author) is THE DEVIL TAKES YOU HOME by Gabino Iglesias Horror-noir at its finest. A rollercoaster of a book that shows us the darkness of the world around us.

For the first #FridayReads of the year, I'm reading, 'To the Lighthouse' by Virginia Woolf. It's for our staff book discussion next week, but I've always been a big Woolf fan and haven't read this yet. Really enjoying the deep introspection into little moments.

@MissSusie66 I aged out of children's reading really early, so any examples I have for stuff like this is usually very old stuff. I also really identified with Will Stanton in 'The Grey King' by Susan Cooper (another Will, I wonder if means anything?)

Ooh. Adding this to my Spooky Reads plan this year. Maybe I should also reread 'The Haunting of Hill House' too. I remember adoring that book when I read it long ago. Haunted houses are my real horror jam. https://t.co/DWp71pqB37

@eileen53 The Margaret Atwood book? If you liked it, I highly recommend 'Ithaca' by Claire North. It's the story of Penelope on Ithaca while Odysseus is away narrated by Hera.
