  2. Guten Morgen alle zusammen,
    leider eskalierte es gestern auf dem #BuCon und ich habe mir mehr gekauft als ich Geld dabei hatte. Danke bargeldlose Bezahlung. Konto ist zum Glück nicht implodiert. #Bücher #bookhaul #buchliebe #booktober #bücherwurm

  3. #booktober Jour 31

    Le mot du jour est Feu 🔥 .

    « Couleurs de l’incendie »

    Le roman prends place dans les années 1930, on assiste donc aux prémices de cet incendie qui va s’abattre sur l’Europe.

    Un roman incroyable, partie d’une très bonne sage de Pierre Lemaître

  4. #Spooktober / #Booktober Day 31: Happy #Halloween! Finally, my absolute favourite book on all things ghosts and hauntings, by Roger Clarke. Mine is the US cover, & I really should get the more local one some day. I re-read it at least once a year; even got name-checked by Danny Robins on RHLSTP the other week. #31DaysOfHalloween

  5. #Booktober / #Spooktober Day 22: a little Joan Forman. Lovely 1970s cover - another must-have for any #ghostlore collector.

  6. #Booktober / #Spooktober Day 17: another new arrival, and another Sheila St Clair, this time from 1994. Much more restrained cover than the other two; reading her take on Malahide Castle’s ghosts as we’re doing their spooky trail during the school break.

  7. #booktober - Jour 16 : ange

    "Gunnm", aka "Battle Angel Alita" de Yukito Kishiro. Un incontournable du cyberpunk post-apo des années 90. Découvert en 1995, c'est un de mes mangas de chevet permanent. Je les relis en anglais via un emprunt à la médiathèque d'Hafnarfjörður. Je suis tellement fan que j'ai acheté plein d'éditions françaises (version cartonnée, version originale, version grand format) mais aussi l'édition japonaise (1ère édition !) et des fascicules américains. Pareil pour "Last Order" (version normale/black, version deluxe).

  8. #booktober - Jour 14 : château.

    L'excellent "Wolfsmund" de Mitsuhisa Kuji, un ancien assistant de feu Kentaro Miura ("Berserk"). Un titre très sombre mais profondément marquant sur les origines de la Suisse. Il a fait un bide éditorial INJUSTE et Ki-oon l'a supprimé récemment de son catalogue. Si jamais vous trouvez les 8 tomes en occasion et à bon prix : PRENEZ-LES IMMÉDIATEMENT.

  9. #Spooktober / #Booktober Day 13: Another new arrival, this time, Welsh ghosts.

    I lived in a particularly Welsh-speaking part of Wales for a bit, back in the day, and can’t wait to see if there are any familiar stories…

  10. #Booktober / #Spooktober Day 11: a fantastic & approachable read, one of many in my collection on how ghosts changed & evolved over time, both in fiction and in memorates. Also, another with gorgeous endpapers - beautifully produced book!

  11. #Spooktober / #Booktober Day 9: a thoroughly enjoyable debunking (albeit also one of its time) of the Moberly-Jourdain incident - everyone’s favourite #timeslip! Was so thrilled to find this, I immediately took it to the pub.

  12. #Comictipp #Spooktober #Booktober #Steampunk

    #Dracula wurde bereits unglaublich gut von Georges Bess umgesetzt, aber mit #Frankenstein übertrifft er sich noch selbst. Wunderschöne, düstere Bilder treffen auf eine schaurige Erzählung und daraus ergibt sich eine der besten Adaptionen von Mary Shelleys klassischem Schauerroman.

  13. #Booktober / #Spooktober Day 7: a stone-cold classic from Jennifer Westwood and Jacqueline Simpson. We’ll get to The Lore of the Land separately, but it’s hard to beat this dust jacket and those endpapers. Such a great book to dip in and out of, all the year round.

  14. #Booktober / #Spooktober Day 6: a delightful little pamphlet of the sort you could buy in every regional UK library in the 1990s for about £1. Many of the tales here are of ghostly Cavaliers, and there’s even a ghost train and a haunted library. Excellent collection of local Lancaster #ghostlore.

  15. #Booktober / #Spooktober Day 4: Haunted Odyssey, the book that set my on my ghostlore-collecting mission, introducing me to the #Lemp family and brewery, #PatienceWorth and many more local-to-STL legends. Got this book when I was about 11, and have been picking up locally-published ‘true ghost stories’ everywhere I’ve lived since.
