thank you!! i'm taking notes, lol.

i did read Camp Damascus and enjoyed it! i wouldn't have thought to classify it as gothic, but then my knowledge of the genre is spotty at best, so yes taking that nonfic rec too. i have a copy of Piranesi that i got around the time it came out, just haven't got around to reading it yet, and i have the first three of the Locked Tomb books in paperback (i haven't read them yet and at this point it feels like i might as well wait until the 4th one is out in paperback as well before i do).
i've been following dr Sam Hirst on twitter for years (https://twitter.com/RomGothSam), this is where I've picked up what little I know about the genre.
