Why is the wolf always the villain? 🐺 From "Little Red Riding Hood" to "The Three Little Pigs," #FairyTales made wolves symbols of everything dangerous beyond the door. Real wolves generally avoid us. Maybe the Big Bad Wolf says more about our fears than theirs. #Folklore #Horror

September is a strange little threshold. Summer hasn’t quite left, fall hasn’t quite arrived, and somehow the shadows are already getting longer. The #Spooky season is close enough that we can feel it. 🌙🍂 #AutumnVibes

Reading "How to Be Eaten" has us revisiting the #FairyTales we grew up with. In the Grimm version of Cinderella, her stepsisters mutilate their feet to fit the slipper. At the wedding, birds peck out their eyes. #Folklore #HorrorBooks #BookClub

While writing "The Haunting of Hill House," in the 1950s Shirley Jackson woke up to find a note on her desk reading "DEAD DEAD" — in her own handwriting. She didn't believe in ghosts, considered it something she wrote while sleepwalking, and kept writing. #HillHouse #HorrorTrivia #bookclubs

We’ve been reading "The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires" by Grady Hendrix, and it has us thinking. If something felt off in your neighborhood… how long would you ignore it? A day? A week? Never? Most people think they’d act immediately. Most people are wrong.

In traditional vampire folklore, a vampire can’t enter your home unless they’re invited in. It sounds polite. It’s actually terrifying. Because it means the real danger isn’t just the monster. It’s trusting the wrong person. #vampires #folklore #horror

This month, we’re reading "Victorian Psycho" by Virginia Feito. A governess. A proper household. A mind quietly unraveling behind manners and routine. This is psychological horror steeped in Victorian restraint, where violence simmers just below the surface. Join us at spookyreadersbookclub.com
