Book haul at HPB

First, here's a pic of everything.

Here, you can see each of the P. G. Wodehouse titles I got. Never bought Jeeves and Wooster books before, but this should be a great read. The BBC series was hilarious, what I recall seeing when I was a kid. Always adored Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry; in fact, I already have books written by them, too. Also got a couple Jane Austen titles and a Fyodor Dostoevsky that are part of a special edition series.

Then I got a bunch of books in this gorgeous special edition collection by Chiltern Publishing. I already had Jane Eyre and a couple other titles in this series, so I hope I don't have any extra copies of anything. I don't think so, but I'll have to unbox my books to find out for sure. I'm a bit worried that I might already have a copy of Wuthering Heights....

And then these books that are more random. I already had books 1 and 2 of Parasyte, so now I also have book 3. Then I already had Baking Yesteryear by B. Dylan Hollis, but this is a signed copy! The Philip Pullman book is a collection of his essays about the writing process. The Devil's Dictionary by Ambrose Bierce is considered by some to be one of the 100 greatest masterpieces of American literature. And then Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is the one book I actually went there for. 😅 Too bad they didn't have a pretty copy, but that's ok. Maybe Chiltern will release one later. 🤔

Little Women (2019, Greta Gerwig)

26/12/2023

Little Women is a 2019 film written and directed by Greta Gerwig.

The film is the seventh film adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's novel of the same name. The cast includes Saoirse Ronan, Emma Watson, Florence Pugh, Eliza Scanlen, Laura Dern, Timothée Chalamet, Meryl Streep, Tracy Letts, Bob Odenkirk, James Norton, Louis Garrel and Chris Cooper.

New York, 1868. Josephine "Jo" March is a young teacher who lives in a boarding house and tries to make her way as a writer, however only managing to publish short stories with a local publisher, Mr. Dashwood.

Concord, Massachusetts, 1861.

In October 2013, Sony announced that it was working on a new film adaptation of Little Women, nineteen years after the previous one: Olivia Mich would write the screenplay, for the production of Robin Swicord and Denise Di Novi. In March 2015, produced Amy Pascal joined the development, while Sarah Polley entered negotiations, which later failed, to rewrite the film and potentially direct it. In August 2016, Greta Gerwig was tapped to rewrite the screenplay. In June 2018, in light of the success of her film Lady Bird, she was also made official as director.

Arnon Milchan's New Regency Pictures and Columbia Pictures co-financed the film.

[...]

Amy March : Well, I believe we have some power over who we love, it isn't something that just happens to a person.

Theodore 'Laurie' Laurence : I think the poets might disagree.

Amy March : Well, I'm not a poet, I'm just a woman. And as a woman I have no way to make money, not enough to earn a living and support my family. Even if I had my own money, which I don't, it would belong to my husband the minute we were married. If we had children they would belong to him, not me. They would be his property. So don't sit there and tell me that marriage isn't an economic proposition, because it is. It may not be for you but it most certainly is for me.

—Amy March's feminist speech on Little Women, by Greta Gerwig. (Film adaptation from Louisa May Alcott's book "Little Women"). (2019 movie adaptation).

What to Read After Dracula

If you want to read more Stoker: Dracula’s Guest and Other Stories by Bram Stoker

If you want more foundational genre-defining gothics: Frankenstein by Mary Shelley

If you want homoerotic vampirism that’s both intriguing and problematic: Carmilla by J. Sheridan le Fanu

If you want a gothic heroine fighting against the villain trying to possess her: A Long Fatal Love Chase by Louisa May Alcott

If you want a protagonist entering an extremely fucked up old money home and fighting for their freedom: Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno Garcia

If you want basically the same plot as Dracula but a lot more batshit and can put up with 1800s racism: The Beetle by Richard Marsh

If you want a modern take on Dracula that acknowledges the sexual assault subtext: The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix (note: this one is very hit or miss, people either love it or hate it)

If you want academics fighting ancient evil and an actual implied cameo by Dracula: The Case of Charles Dexter Ward by H.P. Lovecraft (my personal favorite Lovecraft!)

If you want morally ambiguous mad scientists: The Strange Case of Doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Other Stories by Robert Louis Stevenson (and read the rest of the stories in it while you’re at it!)

If you want rootin’ tootin’ Americans fighting gothic monsters: Pigeons from Hell by Robert E. Howard

If you want a gothic mystery with a spooky villain: The Hound of the Baskervilles by Arthur Conan Doyle

If you want an implied polycule where a nerdy lady does all the real mystery solving: The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins

If you want the kind of vampire romance Dracula has become in pop culture: A Taste of Blood Wine by Freda Warrington

If you want something campier: Haunted Castles by Ray Russell

If you want something sexier: The Bloody Chamber by Angela Carter

If you want something weirder: Blood 20 by Tanith Lee

If you want to read foreign bootleg Dracula: Powers of Darkness or Dracula in Istanbul, both creatively mistranslated from Bram Stoker

[tybaltsjuliet]

do you have any gothic romance book recs? im wanting to write one and have half an idea but i want some inspo

for sure!

the mysteries of udolpho and the italian, ann radcliffe.

the monk, matthew lewis. along the same lines as the italian but several orders of magnitude more deranged. and agnes is one of my personal favorite gothic heroines ever - it’s the religious trauma.

wuthering heights, emily brontë. the one and only. 

“ligeia” and “the fall of the house of usher,” edgar allan poe.

a long fatal love chase, louisa may alcott.

thérèse raquin, émile zola. don’t let the “naturalist,” “realist” veneer fool you; the dynamics in this one are pure gothic.

the phantom of the opera, gaston leroux. the novel is a sight less melodramatic than the musical (said affectionately) but everything about the, ah, O.G. christine and erik still makes me want to gnaw off my own leg.

rebecca, daphne du maurier.

interview with the vampire, anne rice. every weepy woman fleeing from a house of horrors and every brooding, byronic master thereof want what louis and lestat have.

flowers in the attic, v.c. andrews. otherwise known as a contributing factor to why my URL is tybaltsjuliet and why “the fall of the house of usher” is on this list of gothic romances.

the little stranger, sarah waters. this one is fun because i enjoy a gothic romance that is narrated by the deeply relatable yet deeply toxic male lead!

honorable mentions:

“christabel,” samuel taylor coleridge. not a book, not a story, even - a poem, unfinished, at that - but good god, whatever’s going on between christabel and the lady geraldine broke my brain when i first read this one.

fingersmith, sarah waters. i hemmed and hawed over this one because i really do not think of it as a gothic, myself, but a lot of people do! who am i to dismiss that when this list can include a really terrific queer neo-victorian novel.

#sorry for the delay in responding by the way! i have been traveling. #this feels eclectic but i hope it provides a varied assembly of inspiration #;ask me your questions and get some answers.

You know that thing where I said “J.R.R. Tolkien used the word ��escapism” to mean that fantasy is like a prisoner of war escaping from captivity in a dark and horrible place to get back home where you belong?”
