The Little Men
The Little Men | Megan Abbott
9 posts | 4 read | 12 to read
In 1953, Penny is just another washed-up, wannabe Hollywood actress who is past her prime. She has settled in to a quiet lifestyle, and when she finds a low-rent bungalow in Canyon Arms, its a dream come true; Penny takes to the place instantly. But the dream cottage with its French doors and tiled courtyard may not be as perfect as it seems. Pennys new neighbors start filling her head with stories about past tenants, whispering voices, and a suicide that may not have been a suicide at all. Soon enough, Penny starts hearing strange noises and she cant help but wonder about the true fate of the bookseller who died in her home a dozen years earlier. Her suspicions are only fueled by the ominous inscription that she discovers in a book thats closely guarded by her landlord. . . .

This is my #TBR for #AllHallowsRead . Including something classic with Poe's tales and my attempt to read my first book in French. A collection of traditional folk tales...A story of murder within the Vatican... A haunted little cottage... #ScaryReads #GiveaScaryBook

DebinHawaii A great stack! 📚😱👍 8y

The very best thing I read this month was only 50 pages long, but every word of it was perfect! I was very distracted this month; I'm currently reading 8 books, and I've always been a monogamous girl. I usually just read one at a time. Ah, well. So many books to read!

Verity Everyone has such cool end of month graphics! I need to get me one too... 8y
CherylDeFranceschi @Verity I was experimenting. 8y

JanuarieTimewalker13 Ok, Litsy has just exploded my life into book insanity...I want to read everything!!! Good Reads is more sedate, but far less fun! 😳 8y

Ok. I was evil and impetuous and gobbled up You Will Know Me the second I got my mitts on it! So I was kind of hoarding this one, for a later date. But now everyone is reading it, and I NEED some Megan, too! Little has stolen Dare Me, so I'm breaking glass in case of fire...

brendanmleonard This and Bury Me Deep are the only older ones I need to read. 8y
LitHousewife It's good!!!' 8y
tnorris That face 😻😻😆 8y
CherylDeFranceschi @brendanmleonard Me too! I was going to re-read Dare Me, but alas it is in my daughter's clutches, so I can't stand it, and I'm reading this. And so far, it is of course, fantastic. 8y

My book club is reading a short story this month. Since the meeting is Tuesday, this really comes in handy for me.

LitHousewife @bermudaonion I think one of her short stories is going to be a treat. 😊 8y
