Today on Typical Books we have, movies! Click through the timestamps below as my dearest friend Amy, The Glamour Ghoul, and I sit down for a coffee talk about horror and film. One theme we return to and explore is the unreliable narrator and taboo fueling what is and is not horror. There is a huge divide in horror fans describing what is horror. Can it be horror without a supernatural element? This is a booktube, horrortube and Canadian crossover!  Amy is in the midst of PhD studies and when we get together, watch out! We may start discussing the Donner Party over brunch! Add her channel to your horrortube list here:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCjfEmUezIu7pgRnKCRKmWA

Some tried and true tactics!  Today on Typical Books with Lydia we have an #authortube entry on how I edit my manuscripts. Finishing my recent short story, I was struck by how fast editing goes now compared to when I started. So,. I thought I would share some tips. Not just for horror! This works on long and short fiction too...

Today on Typical Books with Lydia we have The Haunting of Gillespie House by Darcy Coates!  

Gillespie House is a thing of dreams to me. A modernized old mansion - all of the remnants of its former glory tucked up into the attic, a crumbling graveyard adjacent. Perfection!   That it is short I liked, as this was expanded from a short story there was only so much story to tell. Elle starts out curious and travels through the house and time becoming more determined to find explanations in history despite many terrifying nights alone.  This reminded me very much of Darling, starring Lauren Ashley Carter. It is far more modern, and far more bloody, but if you like this lone girl angle it is a good fit. The Others also comes to mind here. It is not the top of the pile when it comes to Darcy Coates, but a quick, quiet read all the same.  Now it was not a very creepy read, but I enjoyed the atmosphere very much as it lent itself to my memories of an old farmhouse. There was something vaguely Lovecraftian about the grounds and the house itself as well. Not in the mythos sense, as Lovecraft is a different thing to me than most, but in the isolation and the tricks old landscapes play on the mind.
