Happy Halloween! A Gloomy Night, a Gothic Read & Possibly No Sleep

Happy Halloween, you lovely lot!

Tonight, I’m doing exactly what this dark and drizzly evening demands, curled up under a blanket with a cuppa (and possibly a snack or three), diving into Victorian Gothic by D.R. Miller.

It’s not my usual go-to genre I’m usually more comedy and chaos than candlelit corridors and creeping dread but this one has me completely hooked. Think crumbling mansions, secrets in the shadows, and just enough spine-tingling moments to make me deeply regret reading it with the lights off.

The atmosphere is deliciously eerie, the writing is beautifully descriptive, and the tension is building so well I’m fairly certain I won’t be sleeping tonight. But hey what’s Halloween for if not a little literary fright?

If you’re looking for a perfectly spooky read to haunt your evening, I’d definitely recommend giving it a go… just maybe keep a nightlight handy.

Wishing you a Halloween full of treats, thrills, and (preferably) fewer nightmares than I’m about to have!
