Masque of the Red Death

319 pages

YA Fiction- Retelling

I just had to buy this book at the used book store. Look at it. So pretty. So intriguing. 

It's based on Poe.

It felt unique, yet I could tell where it built from his work. 

So strange to read a plague book that was published right before the pandemic.

I liked this book a lot - and I don't mind where it ended, but there is another one with publishing date next spring, I think? 

Not sure if I'll dive back into this world or not.

What Moves the Dead

Hardcover 

Horror

160 pages

Library 

It's a retling of Fall of the House of Usher.

It's creepy, wonderful, and horrific. 

I took longer to get into it than I would have expected, based on how interesting I thought it was, but that's also probably just because I have so much else going on.

I picked this one up on impulse when I grabbed the book club book from the library.
