Classic Horror - Read with Me 📕 👻 🖤

Purple Star emoji 14 items
I picked up reading again last year after a long post-college and law school hiatus. I realized, to my surprise, that I LOVE horror novels (not so much scary movies). I’ve started reading some classics and am listing my read books and TBR. I hope you...

I have read a lot of Carmilla retellings, but never the original (prob bc it’s written by a man if I had to psychoanalyze myself). I can’t wait to read and love that it’s edited by Machado!
