I love to pop into my local library, especially when there is a book signing for an atmospheric thriller. I'm excited to see Emily Carpenter and support Bookmiser, one of my favorite local bookstores. #booksky 💙📚

I just finished Gothictown by Emily Carpenter and it was great! Contemporary Southern Gothic sprinkled with some good, weird creepy folk horror. 🖤

It awesome to see two of my favorite writers in Asheville tonight! @pkennedywrites.bsky.social is one of most thoughtful and badass gothic writers you’ll ever meet and Emily Carpenter’s GOTHICTOWN has me in its teeth. I also got to meet Rochelle Weinstein and Audrey Ingram!

and then i went for another signing for a book i’ve been wanting to read 🖤
Gothictown by Emily Carpenter The opening title page for Gothictown has the author’s signature and says “for akia, stay gothic” with a few hearts and it’s easily the cutest signature I’ve ever gotten and even if I don’t like the book I’m keeping it forever lol

- no lesbians. very sad </3
