For When Halloween Creeps Closer:
-
Jezebel’s Daughter by Wilkie Collins
- The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson
-
The Dream Woman: A Mystery in Four Narratives by Wilkie Collins

Great recommendations! I was happy to see The Essex Serpent! Perfect read for this time of year!
The New Mrs. Clifton sounds so good-I’ve just added it to my Goodreads TBR! The Essex Serpent is at the very top of my fall TBR list, so I’m happy to hear that you’re enjoying it so far. I’d also like to read a Wilkie Collins soon, and definitely plan to read a Christie or two. Happy fall reading!

I love ghost stories and murder mysteries at this time of year. I have a couple of the Elizabeth Gaskell ones lined up too. Enjoy!
Great list! You have a lot of my favorites on there. I love Wilkie Collins but I haven’t read the ones you mention. I’ll have to check them out.
