Fall Reading Starts Tomorrow!
I enjoyed reading off of a themed list so much for Summer Reading that I decided to make one for fall, too. This one has spooky, scary, and creepy stories on it. Obviously. Some of them are really old, and some are newer. Most of them were pulled from various reading lists I've reblogged over the years.
So, in no particular order, here's my Fall Reading List:
The Woman in White - Wilkie Collins
The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane - Katherine Howe
The Moonstone - Wilkie Collins
Call of Cthulhu - HP Loevcraft
Carmilla - Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu
Practical Magic - Alice Hoffman
The Turn of the Screw - Henry James
Bright Smoke, Cold Fire - Rosamund Hodge
The Phantom of the Opera - Gaston Laroux
The Scarlet Gospels - Clive Barker
The Vampire: A Tale - John Polidari
House of Leaves - Mark Z. Danielewski
Confessions of an English Opium Eater - Thomas De Quincy
Enduring Love - Ian McEwan
The Cask of Amontillado - Edgar Allen Poe
And Then There Were None - Agatha Christie
The Tell-Tale Heart - Edgar Allan Poe
Ghost Stories of an Antiquary - MR James
The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde - Robert Louis Stevenson
Rebecca - Daphne de Maurier
The Castle of Otranto - Horace Walpole
Interview With a Vampire - Anne Rice

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow - Washington Irving
Zombie - Joyce Carol Oates
The Yellow Wallpaper - Charlotte Perkins Gillman

Young Goodman Brown - Nathanial Hawthorne
A lot of these are going to come from Project Gutenberg, but I own quite a few, too. Only a few are coming from the library.
I'm starting with Practical Magic - which I've never read - and I'm super excited. I love the movie and can't wait to read the book!

CBS announced its fall schedule and CSI Vegas with Matt will air on Wednesdays at 10.
Here is the press release:
CSI: VEGAS (Wednesday, 10:00-11:00 PM)
CSI: VEGAS, the sequel to the Network’s global hit “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation,” opens a brand-new chapter in Las Vegas—the city where it all began. Facing an existential threat that could bring down the entire Crime Lab and release thousands of convicted killers back onto the neon-lit streets of Vegas, a brilliant new team of investigators led by Maxine Roby (Paula Newsome) must enlist the help of old friends, Gil Grissom (William Petersen), Sara Sidle (Jorja Fox) and David Hodges (Wallace Langham). This combined force will deploy the latest forensic techniques to do what they do best—follow the evidence—in order to preserve and serve justice in Sin City. Jason Tracey serves as executive producer and showrunner; Jerry Bruckheimer, Jonathan Littman, KristieAnne Reed, Anthony Zuiker, Carol Mendelsohn, Ann Donahue, Craig O’Neill, William Petersen and Cindy Chvatal are also executive producers. Uta Briesewitz is an executive producer and directed (initial episode only) from a script by Tracey. The series is produced by CBS Studios in association with Jerry Bruckheimer Television.
CSI: VEGAS stars original “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation” cast members William Petersen, Jorja Fox and Wallace Langham, who will reprise their roles as Gil Grissom, Sara Sidle and David Hodges, respectively; Paula Newsome as Maxine Roby; Matt Lauria as Joshua Folsom; Mandeep Dhillon as Allie Rajan; and Mel Rodriguez as Hugo Ramirez.

Read a couple of the CSI revival articles.
At least Hodges is back.
(Still find wholesale lab turnover in 6 years weird.)
Both Carol Mendelssohn and Ann Donahue are back in Exec Producer capacity. Billy and his partner also EPing.
Showrunner is Jason Tracey, best known for Elementary, which I never watched, and Burn Notice which I saw occasionally. Wrote some Cold Case, which I did like.
No indication if they contacted other alums or not. Also nothing on writing staff.

Liverpool Echo
Carol Ann Duffy
Pat Hodges kissed you once, although quite shy,
in sixty-two. Small crowds in Mathew Street
endure rain for the echo of a beat,
as if nostalgia means you did not die.
Inside phone-booths loveless ladies cry
On Merseyside. Their faces show defeat.
An ancient jukebox blares out Ain’t She Sweet
in Liverpool, which cannot say goodbye.
Here everybody has an anecdote
of how they met you, were the best of mates.
The seagulls circle round a ferry-boat
out on the river, where it’s getting late.
Like litter on the water, people float
outside the Cavern in the rain. And wait.

Big Top Pee-wee is a 1988 American comedy film and the sequel to Pee-wee's Big Adventure (1985), and stars Paul Reubens as Pee-wee Herman, with supporting roles done by Susan Tyrrell, Kris Kristofferson, Penelope Ann Miller, and Valeria Golino. The original music score is composed by Danny Elfman (although he also scored Pee-wee's Big Adventure, he could not use any themes from that film due to Big Top Pee-wee being produced by another studio).
Plot
The film starts in a dream sequence. Pee-wee Herman has a dream of being a famous singer. Avoiding his fans, he makes his exit by disguising himself as Abraham Lincoln. One of the fans asks him for his autograph, but his disguise is promptly exposed. They chase after him and he flies off to his ranch. Pee-wee finally awakens from his dream that morning to work on his farm with Vance the pig (Wayne White). Later, he has lunch with his fiancée, school teacher Winnie Johnson (Penelope Ann Miller). Next, he races Vance to a general store owned by Mr. Ryan (Albert Henderson) to order a cheese sandwich.
The Sheriff (Kenneth Tobey) warns everyone of a large storm approaching town. After the storm ends, Pee-wee emerges from his storm shelter to discover that an entire traveling circus has been blown into his backyard. Befriended by Cabrini Circus ringmaster Mace Montana (Kris Kristofferson), Pee-wee is hoping to impress Gina Piccolapupula (Valeria Golino), a trapeze artist and the circus' star attraction, thereby incurring the jealousy of his relationship with Winnie until she meets Gina's older brothers, the Piccolapupula Brothers. Gina leaves Pee-wee when she finds out about Winnie, but later returns to him when she realizes that Pee-wee actually loves her. Winnie nonetheless calls off their engagement.
Pee-wee wants to join the circus, but his attempts fail. Gina then tells Pee-wee about her deceased father Papa Piccolapupula who was a famous aerialist who suffered a fall performing the Spiral of Death. Gina states that Pee-wee should try walking the tightrope in his honor.
Mace comes up with a brilliant idea: to stage a three-ring spectacular saluting the American Farm. The problem is that the majority of the town's residents are careless elderly people who have been demanding the circus Pee-wee is helping leave town.
The Sheriff and Mr. Ryan lead the elderly townspeople show up as the Sheriff attempts to arrest Pee-wee. The Sheriff promises to drop the charges if the circus leaves town. While the Circus is packing, Mace tells Pee-wee they will do the circus elsewhere to prevent Pee-wee from going to prison. Pee-wee saves the day when he sneaks modified cocktail weenies from his hot dog tree to the elderly townspeople, causing them to become children once again. Without any memories of what happened, the children attend Mace's circus and watch Pee-wee perform.

poetry book recs, kind sir?
ooooooh YES!!
ok so I’m going to leave out stuff that’s Too Obvious, which means a lot of this is niche (to me) or contemporary, and… I recently had a canary on twitter about how much ~*~modern~*~ poetry GETS MY GOAT. I’m reading a lot of New poets/collections this year purely because I… didn’t really read that much contemporary stuff before, and I thought I should branch out. (so far I’m dubious.) so, yes – obviously Plath, Blake, Hughes, Sappho, Eliot, Keats, Shelley, etc. etc. ad nauseum, The Greats, yadda yadda, here’s some others.
so far this year I’ve read (and ENJOYED - I’m not reccing the ones I wasn’t into/thought were pants, soz):
Letters From Medea by Salma Deera
Grief Is the Thing with Feathers by Max Porter
Hold Your Own by Kate Tempest (I actually LOVED this)
Mouthful of Forevers by Clementine von Radics
War of the Foxes by Richard Siken (of YOU’RE SITTING IN A CAR WITH A BEAUTIFUL BOY, AND HE WON’T TELL YOU THAT HE LOVES YOU, BUT HE LOVES YOU fame)
I’ve also read and loved:
Teaching My Mother How to Give Birth by Warsan Shire
The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy by Tim Burton
The Curse of the Vampire’s Socks and Other Doggerel by Terry Jones
Love Poems by Carol Ann Duffy
Let Us Compare Mythologies by Leonard Cohen
my personal 10/10 all-time go-tos are:
Crush by Richard Siken (despite appearing on every single tumblr graphic between 2011 and 2013, it still gets me in the heart guts)
The World’s Wife by Carol Ann Duffy (which I have loved wholeheartedly since I was 17 years old)
pretty much any collection of Great War poetry: Up the Line to Death, Men Who March Away, Lads: Love Poetry of the Trenches (the Great War poets are my favourite. like, of all poetry, ever)
my favourite individual poems, as we’re on the subj, are:
‘To His Coy Mistress’ by Andrew Marvell
‘Drummer Hodge’ by Thomas Hardy
‘The Parable of the Old Man and the Young’ by Wilfred Owen
‘Warming Her Pearls’ by Carol Ann Duffy
‘An Eastern Ballad’ by Allen Ginsberg
‘Suicide in the Trenches’ by Siegfried Sassoon
‘Dark Sonnet’ by Neil Gaiman
‘Adonaïs: An Elegy on the Death of John Keats’ by Percy Bysshe Shelley
‘Mad Girl’s Love Song’ by Sylvia Plath
finally, a heads up: youtube literally anything by Brave New Voices, sit back, prepare to be Shook. ‘Transcript of Civil Rights’ by Shanita Jackson and Dakota Oder still DESTROYS ME five years later.

Last Lines
I was tagged by @kivrin - thank you! I chose five of my favorites with last lines that stand alone.
Cite the final line of five of your fics – your favorites, or the most recent ones. Tag five writers who should do this next.
“As long as Nurse Mary was in charge, hope would equal mercy in this place, and come Christmas morning, there would be rewards for all, even those who hadn’t believed, and the coal would be thrown on the fire to warm them during the Christmas service and the carols that followed.” The infinite a sudden Guest (Mercy Street, Jed/Mary)
“Soon enough, he would remove the thimble from her finger and kiss each one as she laughed, until she stopped laughing and smiled, until she fell asleep in his arms with her lips still curved, the corners tucked in and her happiness audible with every contented breath she drew.” Like one that fed on awe (Mercy Street, Jed/Mary)
“It was so much more than he’d ever had before, he couldn’t believe he could notice any shortcoming, but he supposed he was an Englishman and it was his cup of tea.” A Secret told (Foyle’s War, Milner/Sam)
“Only for him to know someone was waiting, someone was removing stone by stone the barrier at the mouth of the cave, that Ross Poldark could return to himself, master of Nampara, broken, mended, whole.” The Spirit lasts-- but in what mode (Poldark, Ross/Demelza)
“She could hear Marilla walking around upstairs and Susan in the kitchen, but nothing filled the silence in the halls, the empty ceilings, the lacy white nursery where Joyce Blythe never slept.” It’s such a little thing to weep (Anne of Green Gables, Anne’s House of Dreams, Anne/Gilbert)
I just picked a hodge-podge here but I encourage whoever like to follow the rules. I’ll tag @ultrahotpink @dancesabove @gulbaharsultan @mmmusewrites @oldshrewsburyian and apologies if you have already been tagged!
