Somehow i have evolved into a maker of many things: Baked goods, plants, mysteries and stories.
And the first two books of 2026 have been chosen!!
While I've read The Shining several times before I've actually never read Frankenstein. Almost a crime for a gothic horror loving creature of the night, such as myself💀💀

One of the best things about buying my husband a 3D printer for Yule is the fact he now presents me with macabre trinkets. It's incredibly sweet, like an Adélie penguin presenting its mate a pebble♥️

The first book of 2025 was started yesterday. I'll admit I put off reading the series because I had been inundated with things from the TV show. Turns out I was wrong, both are good.

The first two books of 2025 have been chosen! Technically its three stories because the Bridgerton volume has books 1&2 but that may be splitting hairs.

"Wolverden Tower." by Grant Allen
My favorite story so far! Very well written and blends Victorian England with Pagan customs/the occult.

"A Real Country Ghost Story" - Albert Smith.
Odd tale. Kind of hard to get through. It boasts classic themes of ill fated love and spirits meeting in death.

"The Doll's Ghost" by F. Marion Crawford.
Okay. Look. I violently dislike dolls. There are few exceptions, one is a doll named Blinky in my D&D campaign that is stalking us silently and just...blinks.
That being said, this story is sad and sweet. Less murder doll, more protector

"The Captain of the Pole-Star." By Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
Growing up in a country where five months of the year we get walloped by winter, I'm fascinated by stories set in the Arctic. There is a terror to that desolation and cold that this story really brings out. Very well done.
