Send us a Text Message.Welcome to the 31st episode of The Bookcast Club, a book podcast for people who love to read and talk books. Today we welcome from the That's What We Read Podcast as co-host. Jenny and Holly discuss they're favourite genre of gothic fiction, sharing what exactly gothic fiction is, what it isn't and a few of their favourites. There's a couple of horror and true crime books thrown in for good measure, perfect reading for Halloween.Support The Bookcast ClubYou can support the podcast on Patreon. Our aim, when we hit $75 a month, is to set up a fund to allow those with less money to buy books. If you are happy to donate for no reward you can do so on our website. A free way to show your support, and a very effective way of spreading the word, is to mention us on social media or review us on iTunes.Visit our Book ShopYou can buy all the books we mention on the podcast in our Book Shop. Bookshop.org is a great platform if you want easy book shopping without supporting the likes of Amazon. They support independent book shops and we earn a small commission on each sale, which helps with the running costs of this podcast. However, we would always encourage you to make the effort and shop with your local independent book shop. Many have gone to great efforts to develop an online presence and we're sure most, if not all, will take orders over the phone. They can order whatever book you want. You can find a list of independent bookshops to support on our website, many of which do home delivery. Books mentioned:Chase Darkness With Me by Billy JensonI'll Be Gone in the Dark by Michelle McNamaraThe Animals at Lockwood Manor by Jane HealeyIt Will Just Be Us by Jo KaplanThe Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires by Grady HendrixThe Bloody Chamber by Angela CarterWe Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley JacksonShirley Jackson: A Rather Haunted Life by Ruth FranklinJane Eyre by Charlotte BronteWakenhyrst by Michelle PaverThin Air by Michelle PaverDark Matter by Michelle PaverBeloved by Toni MorrisonRevenge by Yoko OgawaRebecca by Daphne Du MaurierJamaica Inn by Daphne Du MaurierDracula by Bram StokerFall of the House of Usher by Edgar Allen PoeWuthering Heights by Emily BronteBone China by Laura PurcellThe Corset by Laura PurcellThe Silent Companions by Laura PurcellOther mentions:I'll Be Gone in the Dark TV series available on Sky and NOW TV in UKThe Gothic Fiction Book ClubShirley (Film)Where to find Holly:Instagram | Podcast | WebsiteWhere to find us:Instagram | Twitter | WebsiteSupport the Show.
