October has arrived, and while I tend to enjoy gothic literature all year round, this is a good time to promote a few favourites.
The Beckoning Fair One by Oliver Onions - Regarded by some as one of the best ghost stories written in the English language. Subtle and beautiful.
Rappaccini's Daughter by Nathaniel Hawthorne - Love blooms within a garden of poisonous flowers.
The Cask of Amontillado by Edgar Allen Poe - A brutal tale of revenge in which a man is buried alive.
The Wendigo by Algernon Blackwood - Based on a Native American Legend, this chilling story is set within the Canadian backwoods.
A Rose for Emily by William Faulkner - A southern gothic tale about an eccentric spinster and the skeletons in her closet.

Yeah! I was hoping you'd do this again this year. I've come to look forward to your haunted holiday recommendations. Halloween is my favorite day.
That makes me happy!
I'm such a big halloween dork, and I feel like the celebration should last all through October. I didn't know if anyone else would give a damn, but I intend to post creepy stuff all month long. :D
