Anyone else have some spooky reads lined up for October? My bookclub is reading Frankenstein this month, which will be a nice change of pace from the usual fare. I’ve got Tender is the Flesh, Rouge, and Black Sheep lined up. I will probably get to The Haunting of Hill House as well, which I’m really excited to read! I just finished up Vampires of El Norte, which definitely needed more vampires!
The Colour Out of Space is my favorite Lovecraft! I definitely need to reread some of his stuff; it’s been a while.
The last few years I’ve been reading a bunch of Lovecraft’s earlier influences. Some of that has been very good. (Chambers, Blackwood, Machen, etc.) But the absolute standout has been Dunsany. If you like HPL’s “Dream Quest” material, check out Dunsany’s “Time and The Gods” and “Wonder Tales”.
