With my friends it was pretty much tell the story of a book with emojis and have people guess- 🍎

I feel a little weird because I don’t have anything to post today. I decided it just didn’t make that much sense to move up all the whumptober posting, especially because the first prompt I don’t think is particularly spooky. I meant to try and finish ‘Ghosts’ and move it up but it’s my most extensive plot of the month so it’s not quite...done. So I’ll start that tomorrow.

In lieu of posting anything new, here’s my favorite past spooky!fics and also some recs for book/tv shows/films I’ve read/watched in the last year or so and think are appropriate for the spooky holiday :-) :

fics -

mcu: the ‘oh death’ duology - spare me over and where is your sting (ghosts ??) | dark underground // violent sky (more ghosts ??? I seem to have developed a pattern) | the ‘ghosts that we knew’ chapter from ‘a wild lake, with black rock bound’ (whumptober 2019) (ok the ghosts are for real this time, promise) | ‘self-sacrifice’ is probably the spookiest chapter in pain and other human sensations (whumptober 2018) | water all around (I’ve written exactly one pure thorki fic and it’s pretty spooky) | panic room (literally just a retelling of the thriller ‘panic room’) | troubled spirits on my chest (this ghost is real too)

star wars: of skeletons and curiosity (there’s a skeleton) | what follows us (a spooky presence from the void)

recs -

books: Gideon/Harrow the Ninth - Tamsyn Muir (unsurprising, I’m trying to drag everyone into this space necromancer charnel pit) | My Sister, The Serial Killer - Oyinkan Braithwaite | There Once Lived a Woman Who Tried To Kill Her Neighbor’s Baby - Ludmilla Petrushevskaya (the ultimate ‘what it says on the tin’ book) | House of Leaves - Mark Z. Danielewski (amazing, iconic, but you do have to put up with a good deal of Derrida XD) | Her Body and Other Parties - Carmen Maria Machado | The Echo Wife - Sarah Gailey (clone thriller) | Strange Practice - Vivian Shaw (a doctor for monsters!) | Never Have I Ever - Isabel Yap (short story collection) | Uzumaki - Junji Ito (there are some things that I will never unsee so that’s fun)

tv: Marianne (if you like Mike Flanagan, I think you’ll like this) | Black Spot/Zone Blanche | Nightflyers (not perfect but I liked it well enough) | Kingdom (historical zombies, super bloody, amazing costumes) | Ares (dark academia, cults, it’s gory but #aesthetic, two thumbs way up)

film: His House (2020) (one of the exactly 3 horror films recently that had me actually screaming) | Kuroneko (1968) (so beautiful) | Hagazussa (2017) (just don’t ask me to explain it yet) | The Ritual (2017) | Eli (2019) (I liked the final act twist a lot! it was weird but sort of refreshing) | Saint Maud (2019)

*Links to books go to StoryGraph, links to tv/films go to youtube trailers.

**For some reason I could not fine subbed trailers on youtube for Black Spot/Zone Blanche or Ares so....sorry? At least the Black Spot one I linked has auto-generated subs, not perfect but Ares was only either the original Dutch audio or dubbed, so here’s a dubbed version if you want to understand the dialogue but know that...yeah the English dub is not great, don’t let it turn you off the show
