Ruby
Ruby | Nina Allan
1 post | 1 read | 2 to read
Ruby tells the story of Ruby Castle told in snapshots and fleeting glimpses and secret histories, in tales repeated and reinvented by those who fall under the horror film actresss spell: her childhood sweetheart, an antiquarian bookseller with a passion for magical artifacts, the mistress of the poet who was once Castles lover, a young girl in a future Russia who dreams of the stars. Worlds collide, and the boundaries between the real and the fantastic begin to break down. Is Ruby Castle a living person or a collective fantasy? By the end, the world that Castle created through her films has become dangerously indistinguishable from our own.

Ok.. Ruby was not quite what it purports to be. But what turned out to be a series of *very* well-done short stories is unsettling & weird & intriguing &, yes, connected by a string… even if at times that string is a bit frayed. Overall, definitely glad I found this book while browsing a bookstore!

Also finished #LMPBC book & will send tmrw or this weekend! @carlthecattt

And picked up this odd little creepy novella 👯‍♀️🤲🏽😳

Avanders Hey @carlthecattt I have *not* been able to send the LMPBC book yet — didn‘t want you to think it got lost! I‘m hoping to send in the next day or 2. Sorry for the delay! 2y
