Does anyone know if there is a Shakespeare Quest that has his writings in it. It would be so cool if there was and I would definitely join it so quickly!! Thanks🫶✝️

Hello! I’m so thrilled you’ve joined the Haunted House Horror Quest!

There’s just something so great about good haunted house story and I'm so glad I was able to create this quest to be able to discuss it more with all of you! What I love about haunted house books is that they're never just about creaky staircases, shadowy hallways, or things that go bump in the night but they often explore grief, trauma, guilt, family secrets, and the ways the past refuses to stay buried. The house itself often becomes some sort of metaphor or explanation, sometimes it doesn't haha. Sometimes the horror is supernatural, sometimes it’s human, and sometimes it’s a bit of both.

When I pulled this list together, I really tried to include a variety like the classics you think of when you think haunted house story, modern spins that add freshness, and a few hidden gems you might not have come across yet. If the book is part of a series, you’ll only see the first one here to keep things manageable.

And of course, this is just a starting point. Please share your own haunted house favourites in this post so we can keep the forum itself from getting cluttered. I’ll keep adding them if they fit the quest!

So grab a flashlight, ignore the strange noises upstairs, and let’s see which haunted stories linger with us the longest..

Today's random question

What is something about books or reading that you think is misunderstood? This can be a genre, reading as a hobby, how books are discussed, it can be anything.

For me, it's the idea that reading romance is all about the smut, especially queer. For a lot of the romance I read, I skim or skip the smut entirely (it makes me uncomfortable). The reason I read mm romance? The differences in the way men have to be written. I like my romance driven by emotion; I've found the genre that serves that for me.

Hello, Guys. My city has been raining 24/7 for 2 months, but when it doesn't rain, it's as hot as an oven before it rains again. SEA struggle, I guess :/

I hope where you live isn't like this (⁠づ⁠￣⁠ °￣⁠)⁠づ. Because of the constant rain, I've rewatched Coraline 4th times. Really liked the isolated but comfy(?) feeling. I kinda want to read something that you guys think will suit the vibe. Any recs?

Thank you.

I have read so many books and witnessed a thousand lives. I loved reading since I was very little. I believe I am who I am because of this.

That being said, I am curious of when your first memory of reading was. Or if you started reading later in life, what was it that finally drew you in?

I was 5 in my first memory. It is of my dad, with his limited English, reading “Are you my Mother?”. We only owned three books and I would make him read those books every night.

Who's interested in reading this because they need more figure skating after watching the Milan Olympics 🙋‍♀️
