i chose this edition specifically because it has some gorgeous illustrations and is edited by a well-revered queer author... what more could one ask for in a vampire novel!?
tender is the flesh is next on my October list after seeing a good review from gothbubbe (the ebook is on a very long hold at my library but itās just $3 on apple books!) & i might try do an annihilation re-read after i finish that! the fourth in the series comes out this monthā¦!

thereās so many classics I couldāve chosen as my favorite since I enjoyed reading them since I was a kid. The Penguin Classics were great and usually free on Kindle. this one is special to me because itās what got me into gothic literature and the goth subculture in general (romantic goth being my favorite). it was interesting to see just how different the book is to the modern interpretation of it. most of them arenāt accurate (surprise, surprise). I canāt wait for Guillermo Del Toroās Frankenstein movie coming out this year in November on Netflix. I hope it doesnāt disappoint. some other classics Iāve read includes Dracula, Carmilla, Interview With The Vampire, and The Invisible Man. Iāve also really gotten into the Universal Monsters franchise. Iām glad I get to share all of this at least somewhat with my roommates, but more in depth with my cousin whoās fascinated by all of it as well.

and itās just as good as they say. incredibly resonant dystopian horror.
iād also recommend The Salt Grows Heavy for a quick read. medieval fantasy body horror but there is also a sweet sort of love story

being traditionally cool is really quite boring and iterative, and itās actually very cool and sexy to geek out about something you like or share bits of knowledge on a topic youāre passionate about

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WORKERāS DAY!!!! i love having a union, i love being a union steward and getting to support my unit. when my union won its contract, i got a pay bump, better benefits, and increased protection as a worker. š„³
unions help address racial and gender pay gaps, issues workplaces impose on families and those having kids, addressing unsafe conditions, plus things like better health insurance, wages and overtime, weingarten rights to representation, and more!!!
if you donāt have a union but are thinking about forming one, check out AFL-CIOās page (linked) or Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee. thereās always more power in a union!! āš„š¹
