Hi there, just wondering if you have any recommendations for classic (?) gothic literature (stuff like Dracula or Picture of Dorian gray). Thanks!
Yes ? Yes, yes, yes, very much so. I cannot get enough when it comes to gothic literature (and what sprung from it). Here goes :
The Turn of the Screw, Henry JamesThe Lifted Veil, George EliotSeven Gothic Tales, Isak DinesenJane Eyre, Charlotte BrontëVillette, Charlotte BrontëWuthering Heights, Emily BrontëMelmoth the Wanderer, Charles MaturinThe Italian, Ann RadcliffeThe Castle of Otranto, Horace WalpoleThe Horla and Other Stories, Guy de MaupassantThe Coffee-Pot and Other Stories, Théophile GautierMy Cousin Rachel, Daphné du MaurierRebecca, Daphné du MaurierDon’t Look Now, Daphné du MaurierFrankenstein, Mary Bysshe ShelleyThe Castle of Argol, Julien GracqThe Unicorn, Iris MurdochThe Moonstone, Wilkie CollinsLa Vénus d’Ille, Prosper MériméeThe Haunting of Hillhouse, Shirley JacksonWe Have Always Lived in the Castle, Shirley JacksonThe Shining, Stephen KingCarrie, Stephen KingCarmilla, Joseph Sheridan Le FanuThe Queen of Spades, Alexandr PushkinTales, Edgar Allan PoeThe House of the Seven Gables, Nathaniel Hawthorne
—and more. Early gothic fiction shattered into a multiplicity of related literary movements and ideas that are still going strong today; reading one gothic novel automatically brings you to seek another which is either fully cited, or subtly praised in its successor. Some of these are still on my to-be-read list, but I had to suggest them anyway—haunted castles ! puritanic secrecy ! slow psychological warfare ! wild moors and devil pacts ! What could go wrong ?

Hello, that's trully a wonderful playlist! Thanks for it. I strongly recommend "Bored to Death" by Coconut Records - it's like the intro to the whole ATWQ series for me
Extreme Ways - Moby
Calm Like You - The Last Shadow Puppets
The Game - Deine Lakaien
The Shrine/An Argument - The Fleet Foxes
Black Sun - Death Cab For A Cutie
Brave New World - Kalandra
Familiar - Agnes Obel
Me And My Friends Are Lonely - Matt Maeson
Hi! I made this playlist taking into consideration both atmosphere of the song and its lyrics. Obviously, it’s not like every word in those songs fits into Snicketverse lore, but those songs just remind me of ATWQ, mostly the darker aspects of the series. I hope you’ll like it. I'm also making Ellington x Lemony Playlist right now, so stay tuned. And if you want me to make more playlists for fandoms listed in my bio, I’m open for suggestions. The songs are not only chosen for Lemony’s perspective, but for the other characters too.
I do not own any of the songs or the book series All The Wrong Questions written by one and only Lemony Snicket.

Extreme Ways - Moby //
Extreme ways are back again / Extreme places I didn’t know / (…) I’ve seen so much in so many places / So many heartaches, so many faces / So many dirty things / You couldn’t even believe / I would stand in line for this / It’s always good in life for this //
Calm Like You - The Last Shadow Puppets //
I can still remember / When your city smelt exciting / I still get a whiff / Of that aroma now and then / Burglary and fireworks / The skies they were alighting / Accidents and toffee drops / And thinking on the train(…) / If he was calm like you / Locked up inside of your loops / Then he’d know for well / That all he had to say was / All he had to say was goodbye//
The Game - Deine Lakaien //
(…) Air full of grief / It is you now / Stuck within / Soul is burning / No chance to win / (…) And the hot sun / Paints the door / Your philanthropist / Sighed once more / Wind was blowing / Air through pipes / Holes in bodies / Mortal crimes / What have you done to the game / Was it a victory, a shame(…) //
The Shrine/An Argument - The Fleet Foxes //
I went down among the dust and pollen / To the old stone fountain in the morning after dawn / Underneath were all these pennies fallen from the hands of children / They were there and then were gone / And I wonder what became of them / What became of them (…) / I’m not one to ever pray for mercy //
Black Sun - Death Cab For A Cutie //
There is whisky in the water / And there is death upon the vine / (…) / There is a desert veiled in pavement / And there’s a city of seven hills / And all our debris flows to the ocean / (…) / There is an answer in a question / And there is hope within despair / And there is beauty in a failure, / And there are depths beyond compare //
Brave New World - Kalandra //
Witnessing the smoke that’s rolling in (…) / The scent of embers lingers in the air / It`s like a web / There is no escape from / It’s got you trapped / (…) / Never knowing what they demanded / (…) / You want to fight but you’re all divided / It’s not a world everyone can thrive in / Is this the world we were meant to grown in?
Familiar - Agnes Obel //
We took a walk to the summit at night, you and I / To burn a hole in the old grip of the familiar true to life / And the dark was opening wide, do or die / Under a mask of vermillion ruling eyes //
Me And My Friends Are Lonely - Matt Maeson //
I cope smothered in smoke / Deep high, drape my soul in / I know things that you don’t / I’ve met murdering folk / And they took one of our own / They took our innocent home/ (…) / If I leave it does not stop here, no / So is there any treason in the tricky little price I pay?
adult life is crazy because you can be going through the most devastating and heartbreaking things while still having to go to work and do the laundry and grocery shopping
