Ghosts

[close] A chance to read or reread The Lockwood & Co books by Jonathan Stroud! Each week we will read a portion of the books and will end with a designated discussion day! We invite you to join us in the Discord and use #LockwoodReadAlong on Social Media to chat as you go! Join in whenever you can, even Late! If you already read the book feel free to reread or just watch as everyone finds out whats behind the door!

[close] A group for writers of ghost stories and Gothic fiction. Come into our haunted group and ignore the negative raven, and tell us what spooky things have happened in your novel or short story. (I should mention this group isn't for writers who love Poe only, we talk about other writers of haunting stories as well while we write our own stories). This group is on NaNoWriMo as well as on Goodreads, so this is the Goodreads version of the group.

[close] So many books, so little time! This group is dedicated to any Amazon Prime or Kindle Unlimited members. We know the sea of books that are available to us through Prime, now lets take time and read them! This group will focus on shorts,short collections, unknown authors, known others, supernatural thrillers, paranormal, ghosts, fantasy, and anything that makes the hair on your neck stand up! I want to explore new authors on the Kindle platform and give our fellow peers a chance to share their stories!

[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.
