Summer Reads to Carry You into the Fall

“The Vesuvius Club”

Now, this book is purely in here for fun. I picked it up over the summer on Thriftbooks, along with other books for a book club I do with my friends, because I just wanted something fun to read.

I also saw it was by Mark Gatiss, the brilliant writer of “Sherlock” on the BBC, which made me like it even more. It turned out to be so much better than I ever could have expected! The book follows the character of Lucifer Box, an English spy in the early 1900s, described on the back cover as “equal parts James Bond and Sherlock Holmes, with a dash of Austin Powers.”

The book showcases the funny and fast-paced writing that made “Sherlock” so loved by viewers, but in a fun setting. This book was a little ridiculous, but it made me actually laugh out loud, while still having a good plot. Definitely a fun read for anyone looking to relax!

The Spectre at the Feast: A Talk with Mark Gatiss 

What makes a good ghost story? Find out on this thrilling evening with the man who describes himself on social media as ‘actor, writer, strangler’, Mark Gatiss.

The bond between Christmas and the spooky – perhaps most embodied by the Charles Dickens classic, A Christmas Carol – is the staple of many much-loved stories. In this talk, Mark will share his own and his favourite tales as he reads from ghost stories looking at the contrast between jollity and terror; the invitation of a spectre to the feast; the tracing of the anxiety within the festivity.

Mark has been writing ghoulish tales since his childhood, and is best known for his acting and writing credits on The Vesuvius Club, the BBC’s Sherlock and Dracula adaptations, and The League of Gentlemen.

I should finally do this before I forget, but i was tagged by @thedarknessofheaven  (fangs! Get it? Cause I’m goffik?)

nickname: Katie is technically a nickname and I was p much exclusively called that when I was younger so that when I first started learning how to read I was like  “why tf does this say Kathryn? That’s not me!” bc i didn’t know it was not legally my name. Other than that, I don’t really have any cool nicknames that have stuck (And I don’t really care for either name tbh)

zodiac: aqueerius

height: 5′4″ (I stopped growing in elemntary school so like literally I used to be the Tall Kid, until everyone caught up)

last movie i saw:  p sure it was About Time. I’ve seen it once before, but rewatched it with my mom recently. I don’t think i cried the first time, but i def did the second time, even tho i knew what was coming

favorite musician: its kinds weird bc I’m not like obsessing over anyone rn, and for a long time it was always like there was One Band I liked more than anyone else. so i really dont know who to put here

song stuck in my head: this is dumb but some electronic tune i was working on earlier

do i get asks?: not regularly. I appreciate those mutuals who will throw me an occasional bone

other blogs: ive got a lot but don’t really post on any of them besides this one. I’ve got like two blogs that are jokes, three specific fandom blogs for posting my cringe content I didn’t want to post here (which was mostly nsfw stuff, back when that was allowed), i have one for my band, one for my personal music projects, one for hosting images for rpg when i did that, one for Aesthetic Images Id want to find again at a later time, and one that I used to save spook-queen as a url back when I was ruff-boi (and now its just another url I want to horde)

favorite song: ill force myself to pick one, since i didn’t for musician. Ive finally listened to the Horrors’ latest album, rather than just listening to the singles, and its great and my current favorite album to listen to while driving. “Something to Remember Me By” is still my favorite track tho

what am i wearing: this t shirt thats soft and comfortable and i used to wear it nearly every day in college under a hoodie i also wore nearly every day and I forgot about it for awhile but recently rediscovered in my closet so now its on my bod

dream job: this is kinda a sore subject rn bc I have no idea what I am doing with my life and am kinda panicking about that and am afraid I am forever going to be stuck in my benefit-less, min wage retail position for the rest of my life and I have daily panic attacks about this since my interview for A Good Job didn’t work out

favorite food: i dont mean to copy you Griffin, but pad thai is so good and I am always down for shrimp pad thai, even tho yes I am allergic to shrimp but its worth the shrimp sweats

instruments i play: guitar, uke, bass

last book i read: Record of a Spaceborn Few by Becky Chambers. Pls read it. like literally anyone reading this post rn. I need people to talk to about this series. 

last song i listened to: I think we’re alone now - Tiffany

random fact: my first kiss did happen in the grass next to the mausoleum 

describe yourself as an aesthetic object: a halloween decoration you’ve forgotten to take down, and has turned weathered in the rain

ok i tag @justnevilledup @queen-of-arcordia @church-of-cherche @truck-sheperd @vesuviusclub @my-desertroses
