I’m now officially obsessed with Edith Wharton’s writing. I owe my high school English teacher an apology for not actually reading Ethan Frome and sleeping through all the class discussions.

So hashtag time! Here are a few of my favourite horror/dark fantasy/weird writers. Let's start with the old guard, i.e. pre-WW2. Most of these are dab hands at pagan or antiquarian horror, which are my favourite types usually:

#Sarban (My A-number-one, all-time favourite weird fiction writer)
#OliverOnions
#AlgernonBlackwood
#ArthurMachen
#WalterDeLaMare
#WilliamSansom
#MRJames

In fact, the only unpleasant thing at all about Lady Jane's new situation is the cantankerous, obstinate caretaker, Mr. Jones. Others on the estate tell her that he dislikes her changes and would rather things be left as they are.

And -- so strange -- she herself has never seen or spoken with Mr. Jones.

**It was very tough to source this one online, and the one I did find is not great -- I'd recommend listening to this one.

I read a book about reading by Edith Wharton. It was extra short and super cool but I forgot everything about it I'm so tired #EdithWharton #book #books #reading #americanliterature #womensart #womenwriter

This is a longer story, and Wharton takes her time with it, which is both her style and aligned with the theme of the story. I personally love getting lost in the language of it all, but if that's not your thing, consider yourself forewarned. There's audio of this one, so again, I think this would be a great one to listen to -- by candlelight with cake and tea.

#Christmas #Ghosts #GhostStories #EdithWharton #Afterward

"Afterward" tells the story of Mary and Ned Boyne, an American couple who have struck it rich and are living their dream -- moving to the English countryside. They settle on rustic Dorsetshire, choosing an old estate and hoping that it will come with its own ghost.

Of course, there is a ghost. But where did it come from? And how exactly did the Boynes get so bloody rich?

NightWood at The Mount (Edith Wharton's home) in Lenox, Mass., has become an annual pilgrimage for @jess_on_ice and I. It really is an amazing experience, full of haunting, beautiful light & sound installations. Thought I'd share some photos from tonight's visit.

I have seen several of these toots:
"Who are 5-7 of your favourite authors? Add them as hashtags so we can find each other, boost this, share your own, etc." #BooksTodon

Here is a challenge for this: Diversify your list.
There are more authors out there than white straight cis old men.

I'll start:

#UrsulaKLeGuin
#NKJemisin
#BeckyChambers
#TThornCoyle
#EdithWharton
#AlexisHall

#DiversityMatters

So, noob question here: Is there some way I can set up an alert for a hashtag I want to follow? Especially if nobody else has used the hashtag earlier?

I saw someone mention here their interest in #EdithWharton. I thought that was a cool way of tracking people with common interests.

How can I get auto-alerts if anyone mentions anything about #TomStoppard or just #Stoppard?

(I know words not tagged can't be searched for. But is there a way to automate bringing all #Stoppard posts to my TL?)
