About My Library

I have a bunch of boxes of books in another state - hopefully I will manage to get them here to catalogue them this spring!
Great loves: Ghost stories, Victorian literature, folklore, mythology, mysteries, fantasy, science fiction and horror, with some history and poetry thrown in for good measure.

About Me

BA in English Literature, MA in Victorian Prose and Poetry. Halfway to a doctorate in literature/folklore. Born in the USA, lived in the UK for 8 years for graduate school and now residing in New York City.
