Anne Carson constructs sentences that make you need to go lay in a field and watch the clouds go by until you accept that existence meant nothing until you heard that exact combination of words.

I’m in a reading slump which is terrible because this is genuinely so good.

In love with

I’m loving it but also I want to read the hard copy because the dramatized version is leaving out a lot of details. Also, Carmilla supremacy it’s just better.

How many vampire books can I read before Halloween….

Jonathan Bailey audiobook LETS FREAKING GOOOO

Fascinating asf….

If you liked Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil and are obsessed with Carmilla but wanted it to have more story to it, here is your chance.

October is sapphic vampire season I’m not accepting arguments

Oh Rebecca how you love to play with our feelings.

Well well well everything is indeed tuberculosis.
Also my god racism is so stupid what the heck do you mean we literally refused to acknowledge that BIPOC could have tuberculosis because the pallor of white skin became so romanticized????
Gonna vom.

This is so good (tread carefully if you have health anxiety)

can we stop putting girls in massive ballgowns when they have enough time to choose an outfit that won’t possibly kill them (I’m invested)

I love this. So much.

If Jeeves and Wooster were Italian, they would be Coco and Giovedi

We love a freaky queer horror anthology

nerd sheeyit let’s gooooo

okay the miscommunication trope and refusal to just SAY WHAT THEY FEEL is dragging on a little bit too long at this point. Still spicy and I’m enjoying it even if it’s just making me feel good about my own communication skills.
