And, now here we are into the dark drear of November. (Yes, that’s paraphrased from Jane Eyre 😉 )
So, this is most definitely the season of gothic and ghosts, and there’s lots to keep us busy this month.
I am currently reading Ghostland by Edward Parnell, and it’s a fascinating and moving read. Recently released, I’ve been anticipating this one for a while, and it doesn’t disappoint. If you enjoy Hauntology, then I’d highly recommend it.
There’s more to look forward to on TV this month too, and I’ve just seen an advert for a new gothic drama series Vienna Blood, which starts on BBC 2 at 9pm on Monday.
There’s a trailer on the Radio Times website here:

Apparently it was given a huge budget from the BBC, so expectations will be high. It looks fun, anyway, and I do love a bit of fin de siècle mystery.
Hopefully, it will be just the right viewing for these cold dark nights.
Spoiler free reviews coming later.
