I've always been fond of Newford. And Pern. And Damar. Well, you know, lots of imaginary worlds out there to sneak off to.

I LOVE your gothic renditions. Can't wait to visit Sorry-in-the-Vale:)

You definitely should have gone with Emilia Raventhorpe. Just sayin' :)

"This note is totally from Jonathan and not your evil husband plotting to kill you. Please meet me in a dangerous and secluded location. XOXO!"

I love these little recaps!

GREYGALLOWS was not my favorite B. Michaels either (though if I re-read it now, I am sure I would appreciate it much more). I was (still am, I suppose) very much more into the swashbuckling thing in addition to tombs, peasants' rights, and snarky-yet-sneakily-noble heroes, and so WINGS OF THE FALCON probably stands at the top of my list, though it is not very goth, I suppose.

I cannot wait to read your synopsis of your favorite!

I am soooo fond of the town with dark secret. (My favorite thing on that tropes page you linked to was Jon Stewart mocking the "town with a dark secret" advertising for Wolf Lake by saying "Let's ask the werewolves. Maybe they know the dark secret!"

My own town was said to have a curse--that is, we kids referred to it but then I was shocked when my mother said she'd come back from a funeral where the reverend made a point of saying the curse didn't exist. Which, you know, kind of made it seem like it really did!

There are probably so many made-up places I have loved. I burst into tears the first time I saw the Shire in the LOTR movie. I want to live under a hill!

Your town is cursed! That's so awesome.

This is on my order-list from the library for the re-emergence of Jonathan Scott alone.

I mean, the whole write-up was charming, but I do have a think for the Nerdy One winning the day...
