Read The Lake of the Dead by André Bjerke recently, and watched both films. Absolutely enjoyable classic Norwegian horror mystery. Being from the 40s, it's not a visceral haunting, but something far more subtle. This was a Patron pick, so thank you, fellow bookworms! Often likened to Agatha Christie, I found it akin to Lovecraft by way of Nancy Drew. If that sounds odd, I'd say read some original Nancy Drew! There are two film adaptations - Lake of the Dead in 1958 which stars the author as Gabriel Mörk, and a Shudder remake, Lake of Death in 2020. The new film may be a little more scary, but the original is far more beautiful.

Last month I read a good handful of books for the readathon, but then slacked until October 1. The next month has a good mix of rural horror and urban darkness with maybe one more bonus book if I am lucky. Happy October!
