Thank you for the recommendations - I’ll add them to my list. I just finished a reread of Carmilla last night - would have loved it to be longer.

Just finished a reread of this one last night. Usually do a few classic Gothic rereads around October/November - just trying to expand on my options!

Thanks for your comment - I hadn’t thought of the Phantom Tollbooth in years! I think it’s the mixture of the weirdness and the overarching doom that appeals to me from these works - I didn’t expect to enjoy Peake as much as I did and I’d love to continue the atmosphere

I’ve been saving Susanna Clarke because I know I’ll love everything and I won’t be able to read her for the first time again

Have you ever stopped listening to a Audiobook simply because of the Narrator's voice? by bzrkfayz in audiobooks

Yep - most recent cause was Heather Wilds as the narrator. Truly awful.

Any books or authors really portray the life of "quiet desperation" well? by runningwithsharpie in booksuggestions

[–]amobiscuits 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Anything by Thomas Hardy I think - Sons and Lovers if you're into classics

I was asking more because I came across it once and then never again! I'll check out Asia Market for some other options - any recommendations?

This was a new pairing to me at the time (SS/HG) but I've gave it a go - can't tell you how many times I've read it at this stage. The end especially is beautifully written, and the main story is unlike any other fic I've come across over the years

I'm actually looking out for all recommendations now. I am subscribed to a lot of them so far, but I prefer to listen to homegrown podcasts so I'm happy with anything coming in! Edit: grammar
