Classics Considered

Some old, some new, and three blue!

I was extremely happy to find this copy of The Black Spider at a charity shop. I know some people are sensitive to spider imagery so I have censored it out. 😉 Written by a Swiss pastor, it’s a novella about a village being attacked by spiders, with some (probably not too subtle) religious symbolism. I’m so intrigued by a book that wasn’t intending to be sci-fi and yet seems to follow a similar formula.

I will be spending some time on planes, which I think will be the perfect time to reread Passing by Nella Larsen and hopefully read Quicksand as well. Wuthering Heights is going to be a reread with Mr H, and the new Endo collection of short stories will fill the gaps.
