I'm just about to start Blue World by Robert R. McCammon
About to start "The Dead Girls Club" by Damien Angelica Walters :-)
I am reading these two which I started last night:
Slattery Falls by Brennan LaFaroand
Stirred by J.A. Konrath

I'm currently reading
and
.I'm listening to
The Room in the Attic. Spooky, supernatural, and compelling.

Yes. I think the audio was very good and worked well with the format of the book.
I'm also reading Danse MAcabre by King which is very interesting.
I started this book today:
by Adam Nevill - it is good so far - a small slow burn but I hear that things heat up in the last half of the book so I am striving forward with anticipated glee! Of course that cover is just creepy as hell too - that is what nightmares are made of! :)
You're brave! I read The Mysteries of Udolpho and that might've turned me off of those old gothic novels.
David, let us know how you like it... this is on my radar list...As is the one you mentioned Char.. 'morning everyone..
Yep, I loved The Alienist as well! I thought they did a decent job on the TV show as well. I didn't care much for the second book though. :(
The Martian Chronicles, Bradbury. I'm half way into it but it already goes on my favourites shelf!

Which is not to say it wasn't a chore.
I'm currently re reading the hobbit. After I've finished the hobbit I'm going to also re read the lord of the rings trilogy. I have got all the audiobooks so I'm listening to them as I'm reading along. also the audiobooks are narrated by Andy serkis who played gollum in the films.
@Emily Yes! The Hobbit is like comfort food. I need to revisit these books as well! Loved them so much I got Tolkien 's initials in Elvish tattooed on my side. Enjoy!
It's a few weeks now that I think about rereading The lord of the rings as well..... I would like to read it in English though but I don't have theeeeeem.
@monica oh no that's a shame but I'm sure you will be able to get them eventually
I'm reading Molly's Game at the moment, been wanting to read it since I saw the film. As usual the film leaves out a lot of detail and throws random things in that never happened. But I'm liking the book though, it's a well-written memoir, keeps you hooked.

I am reading a new edition published for the 40th anniversary of the Taschen publishing house, edited by Hans Werner Holzwarth. Goodreads insists this is the same book, since the ISBN 13 is an exact match.
2021 was supposed to become my Burroughs year, but I only managed to read The Last Words of Dutch Schultz: A Fiction in the Form of a Film Script. May 2022 be better for my reading goals.
About to read "Violence. Speed. Momentum." by Dr. DisRespect, my all-time favorite video game streamer :-)
I'm reading A stir of echoes by Richard Matheson and is very interesting and short. I'm almost done, not easy to put down.

I've decided to read more novellas. This one is mentioned a lot in gothic/supernatural 2021 reading lists.
Vanessa wrote: "I'm finishing Immortelle by Catherine McCarthy. Quite enjoying it."oooh, that sounds like it'd be a good one! might have to give it a read myself.
