Gothic September is here...and that means fall is just around the corner! One of my most favorite times of year! It has become a tradition for us to read Poe during this month and so that is what we're doing again. The stories and schedules are listed below.
Week One - Berenice: A Tale
Week Two - William Wilson: A Tale
Week Three - The Imp of the Perverse
Week Four - A Descent into the Maelstrom
Discussion for each story will go up by the weekend at the end of each week on this blog.
More upcoming events this fall here at Castle Macabre, over at Seasons of Reading and at Gather Together and Read!
In October, Season of the Witch is back. We will be reading stories about witches by Algernon Blackwod, George Brewer (a short novel) and Shirley Jackson. I will post the reading schedule and more specific details in the starting post on the first of October.
The Witch by Shirley Jackson,
Ancient Sorceries by Algernon Blackwood - You can get a Kindle copy of Blackwood's Complete Works on Amazon for 99 cents. The Blackwood Stories site is back up! You can download a PDF copy of the story, or any of Blackwood's stories, at their site here.
The Witch of Ravensworth by George Brewer for Kindle on Amazon $2.99
The FrightFall Readathon is back and I've made it a month long event! Sign up is open now so head over and add your name. Would love to have you join us!
Everyone knows I'm a huge Anne Rice fan (my favorite author) and she has written a sequel (with her son, Christopher Rice) to one of my favorites of her books, The Mummy, or Ramses the Damned. The new book is titled Ramses the Damned: The Passion of Cleopatra. So, I've decided to host a read-along of the first book (October) in honor of the sequel's release in November. This will be a reread for me and frankly, I'm pretty excited. Rereading a favorite is always fun! Check out the announcement post and express your interest HERE.
That's it! Let's get the fall fun under way!
Wow, lots of great stuff happening for Fall! I will join in as much as I can. That link to Algernon Blackwood website does not work anymore. It says the account is suspended. I have requested most of these books from my library, but they don't have the Shirley Jackson one so I'll have to find that one. Thanks for hosting so many great events!
ReplyDeleteI can't seem to find The Witch by Shirley Jackson. Does it go by another name? It's not on Amazon or Audible.
ReplyDeleteOoh these all sound great! I've been looking for some good autumn/horror/Halloween themed reading events to participate in, and I think I might do at least one of these.
