The Gothic Novel Book Club <Hiatus> discussion

Alright, it's October, can we PLEASE read something scary.

My Nom Floating Dragon

Dark Harvest by Norman Partridge.
A very appropriate Halloween story. Cause it's about Halloween. Hehe. Also very Gothic. Not so much horror.
I love HALLOWEEN!

Moura; it's a scary Gothic novel.
My daughter's favorite holiday was Halloween.
New Orleans loves this holiday, too.

It didn't win last month but that's no reason to not try again. I nominate The Tale of Raw Head and Bloody Bones by Jack Wolf.

Scary is good !

Scary is VERY good :)

Good philosophy, Tina.

*takes a short bow* Why thank you :)

It might be a bit more torture pornish than we read here, though.

Torture pornish? I wasn't aware it was seen that way. From reading the synopsis it sounds dark and twisted and similar to a Jack the Ripper type story but from his perspective. I didn't take it for erotica and as far as I know it isn't labeled as such. Otherwise I wouldn't have suggested it.

I just looked a little deeper bc the synopsis confused me a bit. But you are right, I think about the Jack The Ripper Part. I read some reviews.
It's ok. No worries ;)

It's about a brilliant surgeon fighting his sadist impulses but 130+ years before Jack the Ripper hit London. Jack the Ripper went on his spree in the late 1880's and this story is set in the early 1750's. I love anything and everything old and I am fascinated by the 1600-1700's. So even if it doesn't win, it is still going to be on my reading list :)

Loved stories about Jack the Ripper. Also, the title, are they introducing Fae into this?

Skye, I will let your Nom stand this time but Modern denotes that it be written within the last 30 years.

Sounds really good. Reminds me of Crimson Peak.

Old is good. Scary is good. Old and scary is even better.

Fae? I honestly have no idea. I guess we'll have to read it and find out :)
