The ending really is a gut-wrenching twist.

Wow. I hadn’t read that one, but I just looked it up. Thanks for the recommendation.

It’s a beautiful thing to have his books.

Wow, that’s really powerful. Thanks for sharing.

It’s tough to pick one. Maybe “Hope is the Thing with Feathers” or “Because I Could Not Stop for Death.” How about you?

Such a good one!

Happy World Poetry Day! It’s hard to choose a favorite poet, but Emily Dickinson is one of them.

Thank you!

Oh, Bartholomew…. (sigh) 🥹

The Knight and the Moth has gothic fairy tale vibes, beautiful prose, a magic system based on gods and omens, slow burn romance, and a gargoyle sidekick that absolutely steals the show. 🤍

Have you read it? I am NOT okay after that cliffhanger.

Hi. Yes, I’m working on a couple. How about you?

Happy New Year, friends. Wishing you all things happy and healthy!

I’m teaching The Awakening again for the first time in years. The joy of revisiting an old favorite is rediscovering great lines I forgot. Like this one:

“But whatever came, she had resolved never again to belong to another than herself.”

Kate Chopin wrote this in 1899. 💚

Me too!

Tomorrow is the day my daughters’ favorite book series, The Sisters Grimm, becomes a TV show. They’ve been re-reading for months in anticipation. The whole house is abuzz with excitement. Thank you @whatsupbuckley.bsky.social for this wonderful story. We can’t wait!

What movie do you consider perfect?

Hekate by Nikita Gill

Hekate is finally having her moment!
I just got this beauty, and I can’t wait to dive in.

I’ve loved Hekate since I read Macbeth back in HS. I’ve been greatly influenced by her in my own writing.

My Greek myth-loving, witchy little heart might burst. 🖤

Black and gold cover featuring triple goddess figure of Hekate, goddess of necromancy and the crossroads. Golden owls on either side and white hound around her legs.

I wrote my upcoming verse novel Hekate inspired by ancient Greek poet and playwright Euripides’ structure. I loved writing this book and was bereft when I finished it. It’s one of those stories that lingers - an intimating goddess of necromancy telling us her origins.

I just got a copy. I can’t wait to read it! 🖤

This is beautiful.

No, you are not. 😂

I can’t remember the last time I devoured a book series this fast. I loved everything about this original duology: the lush gothic atmosphere, angst-ridden characters, and fascinating magic system. And what a satisfying ending.

What’s the last book you couldn’t put down?

Family trip to Salem, MA. Summer is a much less hectic time to visit. We got to see all the literary, historical and WITCHY places. And I got a lot of inspiration for a new project I’m planning. 🧙‍♀️🐈‍⬛🔮

FABLEHAVEN x JANITORS
