Well, dear readers, it’s October again. I’ll be opening with a nod to German history, this time with a WW2 emphasis as I’m trying to address my TBR pile of doom. I’m sure it will go down smoothly with a Bavarian beverage or two. Then I’ll be shifting into mystery and horror as we approach Halloween, with the hope — fingers crossed — of finishing Frankenstein.

Frankenstein really impressed me…. I guess it isn't having the same effect on you?
I really haven't made a serious attempt to read it, but for the last two years I briefly considered it, then read Dracula or something else.
night of the living trekkies????? that had to be a winner… didn't it?
I didn't really like Frankenstein, but I know that's a minority opinion. 😀 Looking forward to your thoughts on it!
Definitely the funniest “horror” book I've ever read…it's about a zombie outbreak (caused by an alien parasite) that happens at a Star Trek convention.
As arguably the first SF novel, it certainly bears reading!
