Happy Valentine's Day!

I thought this was the perfect day to make my Gothic Tuesday (and Secret Sleuth Thursday) post about a book I love, which is both a Gothic and a sleuthin' lady story

As one of my personal all-time favorite Gothics, this was hilarious to read:) Thanks for sharing and Happy Valentine's!

Aw, I'm glad. I love ALL Wilkie Collins's books, but this one specially. Happy Valentine's!

Debauchery is encouraged at Casa Gothic...

Now that I have read the parody, I'm all THERE IS A MUSICAL OF THIS?!

...which I think I knew already, but I didn't care. This has changed, and I am indebted to you for mentioning it. ;)

After my re-read of the original, I have yet another mission to accomplish like a sluething Marian...

[sarahtales]

It's all totally in there. Books just need to be approached as fun adventures more. ;)

MARION WAS MY FAVORITE FOREVER. I wasn't thrilled with... pretty much anyone else BUT MARION MADE UP FOR EVERYTHING.

I spent ages after I read The Woman In White making up weird time-travelling crossovers where she met up with Holmes and Watson and they solved crime. It was awesome.

Holmes and Watson were not worthy of that jelly. But I agree she was great. ;)

Have you read Gaywyck, by Vincent Virga? It is a Big Gothic Novel, but the romance is gay! I just finished it a while ago and it's great, so this is me reccing it :)
