A mansion rises from the mist.
Will I even be missed?
Vampires descend the stairs,
With their haughty stares.
There is nowhere to hide
From the demons' dark pride.
I dream of his footsteps in the night
When the moon shines its lone light.
But once the sun shines its morning light,
My secret lover is gone from sight.
I’ve re-#read The Martian by Andy Weir. Still enjoying it immensely. I have the original #audiobook narrated by Bray, not the current version by Wheaton. This space #thriller remains one of my favorite #books of adulthood, and one of the first we were able to share with the 19yo when she became an avid reader & a space science buff. The movie is fine, but the #book is so much better. #reading#bookstodon@bookstodon https://amzn.to/3r14ux0
It is a thriller where the author takes her time to settle the story and the strange atmosphere. It is rapidly understood that each character has something to hide and that they don’t meet by coincidence. Hank Phillippi Ryan drops clues here and there . One character looking at another strangely makes the perfect suspect to me !
Among the falling leaves coloring the landscape in warm shades of orange and red, a Native American curse returns to Maine. Can we fight this evil threatening to destroy our quaint town?
