## Resource

MINI SEASON! Catch up with the reading challenge list on romancingthegothic.com and all my posts on cmrosens.com and ko-fi.com/cmrosens . Days 08-09 are here, with my thoughts on the 2 stories for these days, but beware as spoilers abound - I give full summaries of these 19thC short tales. One is a new-to-me author (Rhoda Broughton), the other is not new to me, but I've never read this short story before (Margaret Oliphant). For Day 08, I have some recs for you, and also I have folklore of unseen horrors haunting a room - the vampire furniture of Glamorgan is back! For Day 09, I've got an unseen draft chapter of my new Gothic Fantasy novel - currently a work in progress - As Below, So Above.
