Oh, I was thinking Ghost Story; I haven't read Julia, but I need to.
Night Shift is really a good collection. I quite like the prequel to Salem's Lot.

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."

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Hmm, I prefer Carmilla for Le Fanu, but I am boring.
I am open to suggestions as I haven't read anything by Le Fanu and was really only going on basic descriptions.
Note: The participants (salonees?) don't have to pick something from the list, it is really only to provide suggestions and to get an idea if they are interested in the topic. It is very buffista in that we vote on topics via anonymous survey.

Salonistes?
Carmilla is classic lesbian-toned vampire, and quite good. But Le Fanu is good, overall.

Because books.
I hesitate to bring it up, but I wish our book club here had been something like megan's.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
For Mrs. Radcliffe, I preferred The Italian: or, The Confessional of the Black Penitents. And for a classic gothic, how about The Monk?
In re Rebecca, am I the only one who really hated Max de Winter?

I was just thinking the same thing.
