Novel-ember: Day Twenty
Day Twenty: The House with a Clock in Its Walls , John Bellairs. An early entry point into my lifelong obsession with everything gothic, supernatural and horror-themed. I love the world and characters that Bellairs created - loveable old warlocks, grouchy villains and totally spooky situations made me a huge fan. His books also introduced me to the work of one of my favorite illustrators: Edward Gorey . Perfect reading for these cold temperatures! Copies can be found on Amazon .
