For this #FridayReads, my first #SpinsterSeptember read of the year, Sylvia Townsend Warner's "Lolly Willowes", a book originally published 100 years ago, a very early example of #feminist #fiction, and "one of the 100 Best Novels in English" according to The Guardian.

If you're curious and like to read in electronic formats, you can read it for free from a nice #StandardEbooks edition, made from the #wikisource transcription of the book.

Last week I was reading Furious Violet by Sarai Walker and ended up giving it 4 ⭐️.

I'm currently reading Voyagers by Meg Charlton.

Still with #SpookyReads2026, I am listening to 'King Sorrow' by Joe Hill.

Hill has definitely settled in to carrying the torch lit by his father (this book has had direct references to both 'The Dead Zone' and 'The Gunslinger', and it surely will connect somehow to 'The Eyes of the Dragon').

I find Hill's prose to be rougher than King's, but it will be good enough if it means more stories like these.

This week I'm deep into #SpookyReads2026 with book 4: 'Leech' by Hiron Ennes

This book has been on my Spooky Reads TBR since its release in 2022 and I finally pushed it to the top of the list. And I'm delighted I did so! It's a creepy and oozy SF postapocalyptic gothic novel that almost seems like a homage to 'The Thing'.

Friday Reads | 11 September 2026

And that means I got to start #SpookyReads2026 book 3 last night.

I started listening to 'King Sorrow' by Joe Hill.

I'm enjoying the start of this so far, especially starting at a prestigious small Maine liberal arts college, for obvious reasons. I'm wondering if the name of a particular historic figure in the fiction is a sly homage to Shirley Jackson, which wouldn't surprise me.

This week for reading I'm digging into #SpookyReads2026.

Book 2 is 'My Darling Dreadful Thing' by Johanna van Veen.

I'm really enjoying this wonderful gothic. It is more atmospheric and creepy than scary, which is how I like my horror. The plot reminds me a lot of the film 'Crimson Peak' (which I need to rewatch), but more sapphic-leaning. I think the last time I enjoyed a Spooky Reads book this much was last year's 'Black River Orchard' by Chuck Wendig.

#FridayReads @bookstodon

Because I was a doofus yesterday, I ended up leaving 'Whalefall' on my desk at work. So last night, I preemptively started book 2 of #SpookyReads2026.

This is 'My Darling Dreadful Thing' by Johanna van Veen.

I'm too early in it to have much of an impression, but I'm liking what I've gotten so far.

This week I'm reading 'Whalefall' by Daniel Krauss.

It is book 1 for #SpookyReads2026. While a lot of places don't quite classify it as horror, I find that it fits the vibe well with the situation as well as the mental state of the character.
I'll admit that the upcoming film is what incentivized me to put this at the top of the list.
