Went to Doors Open Windsor yesterday, and we checked out the McGregor-Cowan House. Built in 1808, the basement still has the holes from where shackles were mounted to keep the city's prisoners before the first jail was built in 1830. Can you imagine living in the house, sleeping tucked away in your bed, knowing that there are criminals chained up in the basement? I feel a story idea coming on! . . . . . . #amreading #wanderlust #doorsopen #hauntedhouse #booklover #amwriting #writer #author #vintage #history #portrait #windsor #yqg #blackandwhite #lovebooks #booknerd #bookish #bookaholic

👻New book review! 👻 Martha Kite and the Congregation of Exiles - by D.W. Cropper. Published by Reliquary Press in April 2018. Synopsis: Martha Kite, a former pickpocket and actress, is hired by the Crown to rescue a supernaturally gifted child from a group of religious fanatics called the Congregation in Exile. But Father Simon Pitch will not be discouraged, and he will stop at nothing to resurrect the Great and Terrible Lord, even if that means killing the gifted child’s “ungifted” twin sister. Martha Kite is driven to protect and rescue both children, but at what cost? I loved how dark and atmospheric this book is. It’s definitely for fans of Lovecraftian-type tales, and I greatly appreciated the allusions to Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. The story explores familiar themes of obsession and occultism in addition to examining the spectrum of different types of dysfunctional sibling relationships. ✩ ✩ ✩ Read my full review at: https://powerlibrarian.wordpress.com/ (link in bio) *Thanks to D.W. Cropper for the book for review!* . . . . . . . #bookreview #book #books #fantasy #horror #amreading #lovebooks #booklove #coverlove #blackandwhite #bookphoto #bookphotography #igreads #instareads #bibliophile #bookworm #booknerd #frankenstein #lovecraft #amreadinghorror #booklover #booknerdigans #read #reading #reader #readersofinstagram #bookblog #goodreads #bookblog #bookreviewer
I absolutely love this! Sadly, I have too many colouring books at home gathering dust, so I didn't buy this one. Am I regretting this decision? Absolutely! QOTD: What would you like to see made into a colouring book? . . . . . . . . #coloringbook #book #books #bibliophile #Bookphoto #bookphotography #amreading #amcoloring #lovebooks #booklove #booknerd #superheroes #superhero #feminism #wonderwoman #batgirl #supergirl #thefutureisfemale #bookworm #bookish #shopaholic #colouringbook
#amediting by the beach! 😎 I’m on chapter 3. I’ve got a long way to go to reach my self-imposed deadline of October 15th.
I got my very first print publication in the mail! I was so excited that I had to take a selfie! I'm really thrilled that I had the opportunity to be a part of such a creepy, terrifying, and wonderful magazine like Hinnom😊😈 More info: https://helenpower.ca/2018/09/01/sundown/ (link in bio) . . . . . #amwriting #ampublished #horror #amwritinghorror #horrorlover #book #books #litmag #shortstory #literary #literature #bibliophile #writerscommunity #writer #author #writersnetwork #read #reading #reader #writenow #specfic #magazine #scary #selfie #bookworm #fiction #writersofig
