Anyone else have some spooky reads lined up for October? My bookclub is reading Frankenstein this month, which will be a nice change of pace from the usual fare. I’ve got Tender is the Flesh, Rouge, and Black Sheep lined up. I will probably get to The Haunting of Hill House as well, which I’m really excited to read! I just finished up Vampires of El Norte, which definitely needed more vampires!

Frankenstein is a really great read because the story that "We all know" is drastically different from the book.

100 per cent agree with this! The book is so knotty and interesting, there's all these ways you can read into it that the popular understanding, and all the media, just do not engage with.
