Books I Read October 31st, 2023

Happy Halloween to those who observe. For anyone interested, I made a credible Eddie Valiant last Friday evening. I also read...

Bloom by Delilah Dawson – Best to go into this knowing as little as possible, but I'm not spoiling much when I say it was the creepiest book I read this season.

Dr. Sleep by Stephen King

In a Glass Darkly by J. Sheridan Le Fanu – Five novellas by an early-ish writer of horror. I tend to find that genre fiction in particular dates badly, and four of these are interesting but not entirely effective stories of the 'it was guilt that drove him mad!' sort. The last is Carmilla, a Sapphic vampire erotica which is excellent and exceedingly ahead of its time.
