  1. A book about witchcraft - December 16, 2025 - This book follows three generations of things going bump in the night. It was suitably entertaining and chilling until the incestuous relationship near the end. That was just gross and completely unnecessary for the plot.

    Rating ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 3/4

  2. A sequel to another book you read this year - October 6, 2025 - The second half of the Shepherd King duology is just as captivating as the first. It has just the right amount of spookiness and intrigue.

  3. October book club theme: 👻 Spooky 👻 - October 3, 2025 - This book is so perfectly spooky, it's exactly the mood I was going for. It's the kind of book that makes you want to curl up under a blanket and read in one sitting because you can't wait to see how it ends.

  4. #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…

  5. #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!

  6. #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.

  7. #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.

  8. #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.

  9. Just a few of the spooky books I’ll be ringing in 2023 with (and carting back to Dublin on the plane tomorrow night).

    #BrowseaboutBooks in Rehoboth Beach is the best.
