Topics
Mel Joulwan: 我推荐《闹鬼的声音》，这是一本苏格兰哥特故事选集，由小型出版社出版。它包含苏格兰故事讲述者表演的新故事和50年代至70年代的档案录音。虽然是哥特风格，但并不恐怖，而是怪异。我建议白天收听，因为有些故事有点恐怖，而且最好能同时阅读印刷版或电子书。我特别喜欢两个故事，一个是在爱丁堡格雷弗莱尔斯教堂墓地发生的温柔鬼故事，另一个是关于一个女人试图闯入墓地的黑色幽默故事。

  • Disappointing book endings can be emotionally fatiguing for both readers and book reviewers.
  • The ability to commiserate with fellow book lovers about a disappointing book can sometimes help mitigate the negative experience.
