𝕲𝖑𝖎𝖒𝖕𝖘𝖊𝖘 𝖔𝖋 𝕲𝖍𝖔𝖘𝖙𝖘 🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯 September is upon us! Autumn is creeping in and the nights are beginning to stretch their limbs long. I began a new job on the first, and was welcomed with a leafstrewn walkway - nature's red carpet... a little threadbare at the tail end of summer. (Swipe to see my merrily swinging soles and to hear the birds sing.) 🍂 As the season's change approaches, what better time to dive into a new read with The Spooky Nerds Book Club? No better time, that's what. Or... when...? 🍂 Tomorrow, we begin reading Vernon Lee's 'Hauntings'. Those that have expressed interest will be added to the group chat (which I am about to create). There is still space if you'd like to join us. Alternatively, you can readalong independently and post publicly including the following so we can interact with you: ⚜#thespookynerdsbookclub ⚜@rabbitheartedreader ⚜@generallygothic 🍂 You will find the text available to read for free (thanks to @projectgutenberg) at the link in my bio. 🍂 Our reading schedule is as follows: Sun 5th Sept.: Begin! Sun 12th Sept.: Discuss 'Amour Dore' Sun 19th Sept.: Discuss 'Oke of Okehurst, or The Phantom Lover' Sun 26th Sept.: Discuss 'A Wicked Voice' Until 30th Sept.: Bring any other Lee shorts into the discussion. 🍂 @rabbitheartedreader & I are looking forward to discover the venerable Vernon Lee with you! If you have any questions, just ask. . #bookstagram #bookclub #vernonlee #hauntings #victorianliterature #englishliterature #spookynerds #ghoststories #shortfiction #femalehorror #september #darkacademia #autumn #fall https://www.instagram.com/p/CTaLF_4gIMZ/?utm_medium=tumblr

"𝕲𝖍𝖔𝖘𝖙𝖘 𝖉𝖔𝖓'𝖙 𝖊𝖝𝖎𝖘𝖙; 𝖙𝖍𝖊𝖞 𝖆𝖗𝖊 𝖊𝖝𝖕𝖊𝖗𝖎𝖊𝖓𝖈𝖊𝖉..." - Richard Dellamora 🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯 "... Starting from this observation [...] the liminal late-nineteenth- early-twentieth-century figure Vernon Lee became the first master of the modern supernatural tale." - Dellamora. 👻 Who better than this "first master" to bring us together again? That's right: the Spooky Nerds Book Club is back! This September, we will be exploring Vernon Lee's 'Hauntings and Other Fantastic Tales', and you are invited. 👻 As always, we have picked a text of gothic intrigue, that is available free online, thanks to Project Gutenberg. 👻 @rabbitheartedreader & I look forward to hosting discussions with all interested - through public posts (both yours and ours), tagged #thespookynerdsbookclub, and/or - a group chat, as interest dictates. 👻 We will share more details as we approach September. 🗝 Keep an eye out for updates here & over at @rabbitheartedreader's. For now though, we wanted to share our plans so you can grab a copy of the text/get excited/state your interest. Hoping to read-along with you; we're overdue a spooky nerd book chat! 👻 🕯Will you join us? . #hauntings #vernonlee #readalong #bookstagram #bookclub #spookynerd #gothicbookclub #readalong #gothicnovel #gothicliterature #ghoststories #femaleauthor #victorianliterature #victorianghosts #bookish #readwithus #violetpaget #tbr #spookyseason #septemberreads https://www.instagram.com/p/CSU4qkhrnUp/?utm_medium=tumblr
