Hello, I’m Gemma. Witchy woman, goth, future ghost.
I’ve always been a lover of good, old-fashioned ghost stories, gothic literature, and fantastical worlds. Here you’ll find book reviews ranging across genres such as gothic romance and horror, contemporary fiction, fantasy, historical fiction and romance. With the occasional non-fiction book too.
When I’m not buried under my books, I’m usually playing The Legend of Zelda and/or making videos about it. Connect with me over at TheZeldaScrolls on YouTube.
