@allegra_hyde Ooh I thought of another favorite. The end of Mr Splitfoot by Samantha Hunt. Like I’m blushing right now just thinking about how good it is.

I'd like to teach a class about the the (terrifying) domestic imagination, and my reading list would be Mrs. Caliban and Log of the S.S. The Mrs Unguentine. And the essays of Shirley Jackson! And probably The Upstairs House, too. Oh, and maybe Victor LaValle's The Changeling!

Sweet question. My first publication "O Liberated Eyes," in @AGNIMagazine, had been rejected 18 times. My second publication, in The Literary Review, had been rejected 31 times. And the Literary Review piece won a prize, and was later anthologized. https://t.co/zlWgbJ7UbT

@lalalivy28 I'm intrigued, thanks! I was delighted by the chapters in Kathryn Davis's The Thin Place where the POV was suddenly in some dogs, and then later: beavers.

@Obuchowski13 And I firgot to mention my favorite haunted house story of them all: “Stone Animals” by Kelly Link. And all the ghost stories in Her Body and Other Parties!

I read one poem to my kids each night at bedtime. Last night it was @CPhillipsPoet of course! They were into it & have liked poems by @officialdonika @biancastone Tomas Morin & by my friend David Eye who died in January. They love Emily Dickinson best. Who else should we read?

Jane Austen lovers, I’m reading Sanditon—the one completed by “another lady.” What should I know? Fun to read, not fun? What’s the context here? Did you all read this, or skip it? I feel like I need more info before I can even begin to enjoy it.
