Rec'd on 👻 DO YOU HAVE ANY FAVORITE HORROR/THRILLER BOOKS?
THE SHINING
I cannot recommend this book enough. King plays around with punctuation, italics, sentence structure in a way that really conveys the difference in conscious thought, subconscious thought, and spirits in a way I’ve been raving about since I first read it.

@GPCDIAMOND There‘s a lot of interesting diffefences in the book!! A lot of the spooky stuff at the hotel gets excluded from the movie, but I also love it a lot for its own reasons.

Stephen King
I’m reading my first horror novel (Pet Sematary) and am really enjoying it! Perfectly spooky so far and while I’ve always said I don’t enjoy horror, books are the way to do it because I can consume it at the pace I wanna- something scary about to happen and I’m not ready? I can walk away until I am. Very slay

FRENCH FAIRYTALE ILLUSTRATIONS
My boyfriend came across these illustrations looking through a book of french fairytales (adorable) and thought I’d like them and I DO! They’re by Virgina Frances Sterrett and so so so dreamy.
