Because one can never have too much fiction backlogged.

Anyone want to rec me some gothics?  Books, movies, TV, etc., as long as I can actually, you know, get ahold of them.  Preferably legally.  Foreign language TV and movies are fine, too.

Vampires are out unless you have amazingly compelling arguments.  Girls boarding schools, spooky mansions, creepy woods,  secret passages witches, ghosts, Servants Who Know Things,  sisters and long-lost women are in.  Romance is optional as long as there are no wives locked in the attic or dudes who killed their last girlfriend.  Those types are out.  (Bonus points for things where the heroine falls for the scary dude but takes  him down for being an evil creepster instead of True Love Conquers All.  I feel the world needs more stories like that.)

The Backlog has been updated, if you want to browse books I already have for recs.

Hopefully, I will be more faithful than the last time I did this.

Ask me my Top Five Whatevers. Fannish or literary or otherwise. Any top fives. Doesn't matter what, really! Fandoms, ice cream flavours, cartoon moments, women in my fandoms, OTPs, ideal holiday destinations, goals for the future, celebrity crushes, books I wish would be made into movies, love songs. And I will answer them all in a new post (or in comments). Possibly with pictures.
