Emily M. Danforth's Plain Bad Heroines
This is a pretty solidly creepy October read full of lesbians, so fairly up my alley. It’s about a girls' boarding school in 1902, where a group of girls are obsessed with the diary of an unconventional girl (apparently a real book), and where mysterious deaths start to happen. And it’s also about three young women in modern times making a movie about said school and its supposed curse. I was a little more invested in the latter plotline; the historical plotline has a lot going in and doesn’t feel fully resolved. Actually, the ending of this is kind of disappointing in general. I liked the very last scene but it felt like a whole section leading up to it got chopped. Good spooky atmosphere though, this book furthers my resolve to stay indoors as much as possible. B+.
