Gothtober Readathon

(source)

This year I've decided to join the gothtober reading challenge. Since this year's theme is final girls and the set up of the challenge is so beautiful, I just had to join.

The readathon is hosted by Olivia of Olivia's Catastrophe, Hannah of LadetteM, and Tish of Little Wolf over on youtube.

There's a RPG set up as a choose your own adventure questionnaire type of game. It can be used to generate a list of prompts for your tbr. You can find it here.

I 100% recommend playing the game because it's really well done, it only takes a few minutes, and it's totally customized to your choices. However, you could also just follow along with my prompts down below.

Now for the good stuff...

My Generated Prompts

read a gothic mood read book

read a book you've been avoiding

read a slasher

read a book with multiple deaths or mass casualties

read a book by a BIPOC author

read a book with LGBTQIA+ rep

read a book with disability rep

read a book with blood on the cover or in the title

read a book with an isolated setting

read a book with a plot twist

Can I just say I absolutely love this prompt list?

My TBR List

As I am joining a bit late and there are no rules against doubling up on prompts, that's exactly what I did. Even still, with work and school, I am being a bit ambitious in my reading plans.

But here it goes:

For a gothic book, I picked Kill Creek by Scott Thomas.

For a book I've been avoiding, I picked Daisy Darker by Alice Feeney. While, yes, she is my all time favorite author, it's been a genre that I haven't been looking to read right now. (I've been reading more romance novels.) Thus, it's a book I've been avoiding. But, we're throwing myself into scarier and more suspenseful reads this month. So, why not start with a 5 star prediction?

For a slasher, I picked Clown in a Cornfield by Adam Cesare.

For a book with multiple deaths, I doubled up and chose Clown in a Cornfield.

For a book by a BIPOC author, I picked Meddling Kids by Edgar Cantero.

For a book with LGBTQIA+ rep, I picked Even If We Break by Marieke Nijkamp.

For a book with disability rep, I picked Into the Drowning Deep by Mira Grant.

For a book with blood on the cover or in the title, I doubled up and picked Into The Drowning Deep by Mira Grant.

For a book with an isolated setting, I doubled up here as well and chose Kill Creek.

For a book with a plot twist, I chose Rules for Vanishing by Kate Alice Marshall. I can't definitively say this has a plot twist, so I'm crossing my fingers that it fulfills the prompt as I really want to read it. If it doesn't, I'm assuming one of the other books is bound to fulfill the prompt instead.

Suggested Alternatives

Because I am doubling up on prompts, I am also including some alternative picks just to offer some variety.

NOTE: A lot of these books, I have not read and cannot personally vouch for. However, I have heard great things about them either from reviews on Storygraph or YouTube.

Gothic: Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia, Catherine House by Elisabeth Thomas, or White is for Witching by Helen Oyeyemi

Slasher: Camp Slaughter by Sergio Gomez, Final Girl Support Group by Grady Hendrix, or My Heart is a Chainsaw by Stephen Graham Jones

Multiple deaths: Night of the Mannequins by Stephen Graham Jones, Final Girls by Riley Sager, or The Mary Shelley Club by Goldy Moldavsky

BIPOC author: The Hole by Hye-young Pyun, The Good Son by You-Jeong Jeong, or The Dangers of Smoking in Bed by Mariana Enríquez

LGBTQIA+ rep: The Hollow Places by T. Kingfisher, Plain Bad Heroines by Emily M. Danforth, or Wilder Girls by Rory Power

Disability rep: Even If We Break by Marieke Nijkamp, Dead Silence by S.A. Barnes, or Hell Followed With Us by Andrew Joseph White

Blood on the cover or in the title: Just Like Home by Sarah Gailey, A Dowry of Blood by S.T. Gibson, Tips for Living by Renée Shafransky

Isolated Setting: What Moves the Dead by T. Kingfisher, The Hole by Hye-young Pyun, Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

Plot twist: Summer's Edge by Dana Mele, Rock, Paper, Scissors by Alice Feeney, I'm Thinking Of Ending Things by Iain Reid

Ghosts of Glanmore House

OCTOBER has now arrived ushering, in long shadows, chillier nights, dazzling, colored leaves, and a parade of flame-orange Cinderella pumpkins.

This time of year reminds me of the quaint old city of Belleville Ontario, Canada embraced by the Moira River and the Bay of Quinte.

The city originated from an old limestone building called Meyers Mills located on Station Street. Belleville was called Meyers Creek back in 1777.

Belleville’s Origins:

John Walden Meyers was the founder of Belleville.

It was first named Meyers Creek.

Meyers was also involved with running a mill, a distillery, shipping, and owning an Inn.

Meyers served as a Justice of the Peace from 1788 – 1812. He was also a Captain of the Hastings County militia, from 1798-1812.

In 1816, Meyers Creek’s name was changed after Lady Arabella Gore, wife of Sir Francis Gore

Hidden in the Old sleepy East Hill of Belleville, Glanmore House rests among charming Victorian-era homes which are framed with scarlet Maples, golden Oaks, and orange leaves along with some old Elm trees.

Glanmore House:

Built in 1882-1883 by wealthy banker J.P.C Phillips and his wife Harriet Phillips the house is now a famous historical landmark.

The home was passed down through four generations before being turned into a museum. Its architectural style is Second Empire.

An artist who was born in Glanmore House named Phillipa Burrows Faulkner allegedly observed paranormal activities and ghosts while growing up there.

Glanmore became a busy place for certain ghosts. Phillipa, watched the drawing-room piano play on its own, and doors that sprung open also slammed shut with no visible person nearby.

In 1962 Phillipa contacted a Roman Catholic Priest to enter Glanmore and exorcise the rambunctious ghosts who haunted the fine old mansion. Some of the supernatural activities abated for a short period then started up again.

Some of the family members claim to have seen a soldier wearing a British red coat who may have well been another one of their relatives dwelling inside of Glanmore. Even their spectral Grandmother once told her granddaughter to “clean the silver.”

Glanmore is now a National Historic Site of Canada.

There have been reports regarding a male and a female child, who can be heard giggling, as well as running down the halls. Cold spots can be felt throughout the mansion and the feeling of being watched while you navigate the house may make you feel vexed.

A Gray Lady sighting at Glanmore:

Tea parties were held at Glanmore over the decades amongst the original owners and once the city of Belleville took it over as a historic site.

One particular visitor named Ellen gives her own experience at Glanmore when she was a girl.

“My mother and I were part of a Ladies’ tea party at Glanmore House when I was a girl. It was a splendid place, very elegant and decorated with many wickedly, charming flowers.

I was sipping on some tea when I looked up and saw a teacup & saucer flote silently from one table over to the one beside it.

An eerie gray apparition shaped like a lady picked up the teacup and silently, began to sip her tea.

I heard Mrs. Harrington gasp and then dropped her Royal Albert, tea cup which smashed onto the ground.

She was staring at the gray lady who had quickly, vanished into thin air.

Mrs. Harrington. excused herself and promptly left the tea party.”

Note: Hattie was known to wear gray silk dresses.

Now that Autumn has arrived and rustling leaves are tossed by a crisp evening breeze, during the evening some folks enjoy strolling by Glanmore only to spot old lamps switch on and off and shadowy spirits lurk in windows at night, when no one else is around.

That concludes my podcast on Ghosts of Glanmore House.

As Halloween quickly draws nigh, remember the Ghosts of Glanmore
