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."

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

I read Whacked yesterday. No good. But the narrator, up until the last 40 pages, totally reminded me of Kristen (TV writer, sort of obsessed with grisly murders etc).

I was set on starting Thousand Acres, but then I left it at school. Am reading the History of Love instead.

Buffistas, just off the top of your respective heads, what would you say are the gothiest poems? Non More Goth.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Also, Frost's "Acquainted with the Night".

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Robert Frost, ubergoth.

Well, he was born in San Francisco. That's got to count for something.

Is nobody going to pimp for Poe?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I think Goblin Market might win in a Goth Poetry Deathmatch.
