Ghosts

[close] If, like us, you enjoy anything paranormal, then this place is for you. This is a bookclub dedicated to Paranormal (YA & Adult) Fantasy, dystopia, science-fiction with vampires, werewolves, ghosts... Anything out of this world is welcome around here! Each month we have a Book Of The Month club and Reading Challenges. We also have an informal Read-to-Review program and an ongoing We Found Free Ebooks post where you can find paranormal freebies. ABSOLUTELY NO SELF-PROMOTION IS ALLOWED That means authors, and also bloggers and marketers who try to lure people away to outside websites. First time you do it, you will be banned. No warnings. No exceptions.

[close] A group for those you like creatures of mystery, legend, ghost stories, fairy tales, and much more.

[close] A group for horror readers who like their books creepy, disturbing, bloody, fucked-up and occasionally responsible for a terrible night’s sleep. Whether you’re into haunted houses, ghosts, slashers, serial killers, psychological horror, folk horror, gothic nightmares or books that make you stare suspiciously at the dark afterwards — you’re welcome here. 📚 Read it. Rate it. Rant about it. Expect spoiler-filled discussions, ridiculous theories, passionate arguments about whether a book is actually scary, and plenty of “what the FUCK did I just read?” No gatekeeping. No judging someone’s star rating. Just horror-loving weirdos talking about books. Come for the scares. Stay because apparently we never learn. 🩸🖤

[close] Are you a feminist, interested in feminist history, interested in horror, or gothic literature? If you are interested in any of those, join this group. If you are interested in all of the above, you will love the female gothic. Female gothic literature is literature written by women that uses gothic worlds and settings to bring into question gender roles, expectations, and norms. The use of symbols and tropes is very significant in the female gothic. Traditional stories may have naively curious heroines, such as Mysteries of Upolpho. Other works such as Mary Shelley's Frankenstein play with character relations to show female struggles. There are layers and layers of depth to the female gothic, something worthy of endless conversations. Join this group to recommend female gothic literature, read some, or learn about the female gothic.
