Kat of @katsnoveladventures1863  discussed W.W. Jacob's "The Toll House" and Clive Barker's "In the Hills, In the Cities" (one of his best works in my opinion---even though I called it "In the Jungle, In the Cities" or something, confusing it with the name of Bertolt Brecht's play IN THE JUNGLE OF CITIES I guess. She also discussed one of my favorite books by one of my favorite writers: Shirley Jackson's WE HAVE ALWAYS LIVE IN THE CASTLE.
