Lucine stood wreathed in winter’s scorn… her porcelain gaze steeped in centuries of silvern mists and unhallow'd vows.

"Now, then," said he, in a hollow sepulchral voice, and yet with a strange cadence of exultation—"now, then, thou shalt come along with me; we shall mount on the altan on the roof of the house beside the weather-cock, who will sing us a merry bridal-song, because the owl to-night holds his wedding-feast—there shall we contend together, and whoever beats the other from the roof of the house is king, and may drink blood!" (E.T.A. Hoffmann "The Devil's Elixirs")

I’ve been wanting to read The Doloriad for so long and today I finally picked it up. The cover and the blurb make it very intriguing. The last line (of the blurb) reads: “Gothic and strange, moving and disquieting, The Doloriad stares down humanity’s unbreakable commitment to life for better or worse” As you can see, I’m very excited. . . . . #bookrecs #bookstagram #blurb #bookblurb #bookblogger #bookish #bookstagrammer #booksbooksbooks #bookworm #thedoloriad #nowreading #currentread #tbr #gothic #gothicliterature #bibliophile #literature (at Bookstagram) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqSZsPig8y0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

John Coulthart's take on Dracula's castle

“Then we looked back and saw where the clear line of Dracula’s castle cut the sky; for we were so deep under the hill whereon it was set that the angle of perspective of the Carpathian mountains was far below it. We saw it in all its grandeur, perched a thousand feet on the summit of a sheer precipice, and with seemingly a great gap between it and the steep of the adjacent mountain on any side. There was something wild and uncanny about the place. We could hear the distant howling of wolves. They were far off, but the sound, even though coming muffled through the deadening snowfall, was full of terror.” (Bram Stoker)
