An mini adventure to London for a FairyLoot work trip had this reading vlog starting out chaotically, but I managed to squeeze in some earth gothic reads too and loved it all!

I LOVE the feeling of your vlogs and reads and now I'm convinced to go to the bookstore again and get What Moves the Dead and House of Hollows! Hope you feel better soon!🍄

Cottagegore!! The dark, bloody cousin of cottagecore. It's 100% my vibe 🖤🔪🫀🍄🥀🍁🩸🦴🖤 And yes! House of Hollow was so satisfyingly within that atmosphere. One of my favs last year.

I never really had much interest in House of Hollow until now! But I enjoyed WMtD as well and read Mexican Gothic shortly after and gave it 5 stars. The main character is my favorite of the year so far. I think you'll absolutely love it 🍄🍄

Hey, Firstly i do hope you are feeling much better in yourself now and have got some well deserved sleep. There is nothing worse than feeling OFF when you are busy. As i'v said in previous vlogs i'm not a reader at all and never have been sadly but i come to your channel every week because i so enjoy your vibe and passion for your work. You give off such an ease of cosy, inviting, homely, welcoming and passion to everything you do which i what i admire. Your aesthetic in your flat is just beautiful. I just love all those candles and twinkly lights. Its just so cosy and pleasing to the soul. I hope you have a great few days off work next week and are able to just chill and relax. Very much looking forward to that cosy vlog. Take care lovely x

I pretty much read What Moves the Dead as soon as it came out, I saw that hardback cover and I knew I needed it. Ngl, the pronouns confused me at first, but as soon as the discussion about gender happend it clicked and it was fine. House of Hollow was already on my tbr too, but you've definitely just bumped it up. I may have just gotten the audiobook (already had the ebook), since I've very much been in a knitting and audiobook kind of mood lately.

yeah it took me a moment to click too! I bet the audiobook for house of hollow is so good, can definitely imagine it adding to the atmosphere. I hope you love it!

House of Hollow, I just finished it and I loved i! I wonder if you would enjoy The Depths by Nicole Lesperance? I really enjoyed it but I read it in the beginning of October and this one is more of Spooky Summer Read cause it takes place on an island. It was a nice surprise and has become another fav. There are Victorian Ghost and a violent island.

House of Hollow wasn't a five-star for me, but I still love it. What Moves the Dead is on my tbr and I am expecting to love it. I too love earthly gothic, and yes it is frustrating to find. I actually recently added a green horror section to my bookshelf and it isn't very big. One of the books I do have in that section is Evil Roots: Killer Tales of the Botanical Gothic. It is an anthology about killer plants. There is actually a lot in that series and there may be more earthly gothic books. It is worth having a scroll.

@AFrolicThroughFiction Жыл бұрын

ooooh I'll definitely take a look, thank you! It's so hard to weed out the ones that actually fit the vibe you're looking for vs the ones that just have mushrooms mentioned once or twice and so its stuck on the cover ahaha

@@AFrolicThroughFiction it's got this very underlying not super in your face creepiness to it. It also deals with the parallel of what it would probably be like to loose yourself to an addiction. It's not crazy action packed but it's definitely haunting! The true realization of whats going on, is chilling. Be interesting to see what you think!
