My goal is the same as last year. 100 books and these are what I'm reading so far. I finished one book and I'm moving on to these. #booksky #hauntingreads #plutoniumfiles #occultreads

Some books bloom in the shadows. The Thorn and the Rose is dark, lush, and deeply moving.

I don't want to say too much about this book, other than (1) this is the perfect time to read it and (2) the audiobook is so well done, but you also need to be reading a physical copy of the book to get the full experience. Happy reading! #weusedtolivehere #hauntingreads #spookyseason

The Violet Sigil – Short Gothic Fiction “The sigil writes in a language the soul already knows.” by D. Medina The first time the weight came, Lena woke into it. It wasn’t sound that roused her, nor light. It was pressure—quiet and absolute—pressing her into the mattress as if the room had filled with an invisible tide. Her limbs obeyed no command. Her jaw unlatched in a silence that somehow felt loud.

👁️ Do you believe shadows can protect? This haunting short story lingers with whispers, circles, and truths unseen. Read it on In Ivy & Ink. 🌑
