This anthology is one of those 24 books that they have already launched. The book is composed of 17 horror stories by different authors, among which the names of Bécquer, Lovecraft or ...

The antidote for “I have no time to read”

by moonlight lady 09. May 2019 The Reading Corner 4

Do you read short stories? I’m afraid that your answer is probably “no”. I’ve been feeling for a while now that from the few people who actually read there are not many who read short stories. I don’t get why. It is true that I am a compulsive reader and perhaps that is why I ...

On writing – book review

by moonlight lady 29. April 2019 The Reading Corner 2

Today I’m going to talk about a kind of book that I don’t usually read. Moreover, I would say that I had never read anything like it before. The book is On Writing by Stephen King and is a hybrid of writing manual and autobiography. Why do not I usually read these genres? Some may ...

The pleasure of enjoying a good book

by moonlight lady 17. April 2019 The Reading Corner 0

those people whose faces light up when someone asks them about their passions; but also who can spend hours talking about the same thing once someone has brought up the subject. It is true that many things fascinate me, but few have that effect on me, rabbits and books are among them. As I wrote ...

by moonlight lady 03. April 2019 The Reading Corner 0

Pet Sematery is one of the many books that Stephen King has written and it may now sound especially familiar thanks to the movie that is out tomorrow. Well, the trailer caught my attention (I’ll return to this later) and, as I NEVER see a movie without reading the book first, I ran to buy ...

Have you ever had a crush on a book? No kidding, this happens and it’s a very intense love at first sight. You enter a bookstore completely unawared to find yourself face to face with a book that, for some reason, catches your attention. There are books that also have the ability to get into ...

Carmilla – book review

by moonlight lady 26. December 2018 The Reading Corner 2

You will think me cruel, very selfish, but love is always selfish; the more ardent the more selfish. How jealous I am you cannot know. You must come with me, loving me, to death; or else hate me, and still come with me, and hating me through death and after. There is no such word ...
