If you're interested in newer macabre, I love Clive Barker's Books of Blood from the 1980s. It's a 6-volume collection of short and shortish stories. And the original book covers have awesome artwork.

Thanks for the suggestion. I downloaded volume one and couldn't get beyond first few paragraphs without seeing every parade of the dead going to Hades that has ever been filmed. No new images came to mind. Any other suggestions?

Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray, if you haven't read it already.

Totally! Loved it!
Have you watched the series "Penny Dreadful?".... That's the kind of macabre I enjoy.

Yeah, I've seen the whole series probably 6 times; I've been a big Frankenstein and Dracula fan since I was a kid. I've recommended Penny Dreadful on my HorrorStream.

I own the series. I've watched it at least 5 times but not more than 7...yet. It's my favorite. I just went through the Horror stream and didn't see any recent posts about the series. Maybe I should make a gif. What about the seance scene? Suggestions?

I posted this in September and about 3 years ago. For a gif, maybe the dolls all staring in horror from season 2; or vampires from season 1?

"And Darkness and Decay and the Red Death held illimitable dominion over all."
.
The story was rich with images but too short...yet, I can say I finished a kindle book today! Onto the next!!
