Re-read & Second Book Review: The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson

One of the creepiest horror books I've ever read - still! This one is a bit different for me, a rare treat actually, because this is, in fact, a re-read.

Book Review: The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde

I finally got around to reading this, after having it sitting on my shelf for far too long, and I have to say I'm happy I've read it. It's only the third 'classic' I've read, after 1984 and Lord of The Flies (according to a list I found online) and though I like this book,... Continue Reading →
