What Maddison Wants to Read
Give me your dark, broody, strange, and mysterious. My keywords are deep and creepy. I’m eager for lyrical works that engage with horror, melancholy, dark humour, the (un)natural world, mythologies and legends, and/or a strong sense of place. Let me become acquainted with your literary misfits, your skeletons in the closet, your whimsical and wandering ghosts.
