Books & Horror
Notes on editions, authorship, adaptation, signatures, reading memory, and the unsettling comfort of strange fiction.
A curated cabinet, not a catalogue
This site gathers the objects, stories, media, and scholarly threads that have shaped my intellectual life: the material book, strange fiction, games as cultural memory, provenance, reading practice, and the odd little routes by which meaning attaches itself to things.
What this place is
The mood here is archival and a little haunted: old books, marginalia, adaptations, strange games, and the question of why certain objects feel charged with story.
This is a personal archive of reading, collecting, research, and cultural memory — a place where books, media, games, and curious objects become starting points for stories, reflections, and traces of meaning.
Notes on editions, authorship, adaptation, signatures, reading memory, and the unsettling comfort of strange fiction.
Video games, tabletop traces, creature collecting, nostalgia, interface memory, and the cultural life of play.
Academic work, methodological notes, publications, citations, and the overlap between scholarship and curation.
The small, ridiculous, stubbornly human material: jokes, detours, songs, side quests, and things that refuse to stay in a single category.
Threshold figure
Field note
Forestghost is less a mascot than a threshold figure: a reader caught between shelter and weather, curiosity and unease, the ordinary book and the strange path it opens.
She belongs to the mood of this archive — watchful, bookish, rain-soaked, and not entirely at home in one world.
Archive note
This site gathers fragments: reading notes, edition histories, research threads, game memories, collecting questions, and small encounters with objects that have accumulated meaning over time. It is a curated public record of interests, interpretations, and traces.
