I was just wondering about Hill House, Hec, but Castle is definitely on.
Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Because books.
Oooh, I loved The Witches of Worm!

I need suggestions for "age-appropriate" gothy reading material for elementary-school babybats.
Such a great book. Merricat's one of the great goth/teen characters.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Sister Grimm
anything by Gail Carson levine would be age appropriate, if not really gothic
and though I love tithe -- I'm careful about recommending it

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Wolves of Willoughby Chase, etc.? I'm not sure about the age. I seem to recall there were gothier Joan Aiken books, but I can't dredge up the titles - I know I read everything I could find at the library by her partly for the spooky and otherworldly vibe.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
Jilli, have you considered Bradbury's The Halloween Tree?
