I was scrounging through the shelves looking for books to fill in my display of Halloween season reading and was pleased (with myself, smugly, as much as for the display) to remember that Our Town is a ghost story.
I've never read Zola, but I was surprised he titled a book In Secret--seems like modern styling.
And it is--it's a retitling of Thérèse Raquin after the 2013 film adaptation.
It's gratifying when books sell that have been on the shelf a long time, once they're displayed. A couple Daphne DuMauriers, for instance.
But Anne Rice, once so hot, is truly yesterday's cold potatoes--her books don't go.
Sometimes I'm annoyed when someone buys a book I like seeing on display. Our Town sold right away.
Put that back!
