Popped into @gutterbookshop.bsky.social to drop in garden seeds for a friend & got distracted by the #Samhain #Halloween display... unable to resist I'm delighted to get my hands on #YourOwnDarkShadow @tramppress.bsky.social + #GothicTales by #ArthurConanDoyle .. Let the spookiness begin! #AmReading
