Perilous Update, 9/6/20
Review: Wylding Hall Via Reddit, I joined a Discord-based horror discussion group and read Wylding Hall by Elizabeth Hand with them. Wylding Hall, a Shirley Jackson Award winner, is told in the style of a “Behind the Music” documentary or oral history of the acid folk band Windhollow Faire. The members of the band spend […]

The Door in the Wall
During my reading of The King in Yellow, I read H. G. Wells story “The Door in the Wall.” Since the collection was on my Classics Club list and I enjoyed the titular story quite a bit, I decided to finish the book before moving on. The Chambers story “The Demoiselle d’Ys” is said to […]

Draft No. 4
I added this book to my TBR list a couple months back when Deb @ Readerbuzz was reading it. I’ve been looking for books on writing nonfiction, but most of what I’ve found have been about writing memoirs, which isn’t quite what I’m after.

From Around the Internet The 1918 Flu Faded in Our Collective Memory: We Might ‘Forget’ the Coronavirus, Too – I really didn’t know much about the 1918 epidemic before I started reading about its place in the late 1910’s resurgence of spiritualism.

The King in Yellow
Like many people, I hadn’t really heard of The King in Yellow before the first season of True Detective which originally aired back in 2014. I was intrigued enough to add the Robert W. Chambers to my TBR list, but not enough to actually read the collection until six years later… Since The King in …
