🕸️The scythe fell and lay in the grass like a lost smile🕸️ *** @generallygothic tagged me to share some #vintagehorrorcoverlove 🍁 So I grabbed two of my favorites, The Halloween Tree and The Illustrated Man, both by Ray Bradbury 🎃 When I was a kid, I saw The Halloween Tree 1993 made-for-tv movie and it stuck in my head for years. When I discovered that weird, sad Halloween movie was based on a book, I had already fallen in love with Bradbury's writing through The Illustrated Man 🖌️ And if you doubt The Illustrated Man is horror, you haven't read it 🦁 *** Also, Catrina bought me this edition of The Halloween Tree for Christmas, so it's doubly spooky 🦇🎄 What's your favorite vintage cover?
✨The house is full of sunlight and shadows. And the smell of toadstools.✨ *** 🔭 Episode 22 is out! Listen to our discussion of Caitlín R. Kiernan's spacey, spooky, bizarre "Agents of Dreamland" and the weird science behind some of its ideas 🧪 wherever you listen to podcasts (or pick up radio frequencies from space clouds..)
🐜🍄 Our current read "Agents of Dreamland" is so freaking weird, in the best ways! This little novella packs in secret agents 🕵️‍♀️, mystery, body horror, spooky space 👨‍🚀, and more 🤯 It's all the genres. We each saved so many amazing quotes, Caitlín R. Kiernan has such a way with words! And speaking of deadly spores, this read is so perfectly timed with me getting a horrible flu 🤧
Library books! Here's what I picked up from the library and might actually read. Cryptids, urban legends, spacey scifi, and YA about a mysterious house.. 📚📚📚 • I Know What I Saw: Modern-Day Encounters with Monsters of New Urban Legend and Ancient Lore by Linda Godfrey 🦄 • Perihelion Summer by Greg Egan 🚀 • The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin 🏚️ *** Have you read any of these? They're all new to me!
Tell me you wouldn't watch this show! We read a lot, but we also come up with a lot of TV show pitches 📺 *** One of the most fun anecdotes from "The Code Book" was about regular people in Victorian times sending each other encoded messages for fun 🤓 They were probably of interest to no one... except for nosy, popular Lady Blair Waldorf who lives down the street 😂 Just imagine.
✨ Onto the next book club pick: Agents of Dreamland by Caitlín R. Kiernan 🛸 It's a weird, bizarre, scifi horror novella that you can't explain too much without spoiling 🙊 I love the writing, and the dream-like quality, and a story that's unsettling as fuck 🦠 Have you read any of her work? *** #nightwormschallenge I love this.. publisher! I've noticed we read a lot of Tor books in this club 👾
