'It's a terrible story and one way to tell it is this: two girls in love and a fog of wasps cursed the place forever after...'
BROOKHANTS SCHOOL FOR GIRLS: Infamous site of a series of tragic deaths over a hundred years ago. Soon to be the subject of a controversial horror movie about the rumoured 'Brookhants curse':
In the early 1900's, Brookhants students Flo and Clara fell madly in love, brought together by their obsession for a scandalous memoir.
A few months later they were found dead in the woods, after a horrific wasp attack, the book lying next to their intertwined bodies.
Three more grisly deaths followed before the school was forced to close.
Now, the school's doors are open once more. But as the crew of glamorous young actresses assemble to start filming, past and present begin to blur. And soon it's impossible to tell quite where the curse ends and Hollywood begins...

2 in 1: amazing read PLUS workout equipment
Horror comedy meets sapphic love story! (I don't know how else to put it, but it gets reaaaally dark) Actually this is quite complex, brilliantly written as dual stories of doomed girls being haunted by a curse, which I definitely did not expect at the beginning. The story unfolds, as we are being told the events happening at Brookhants in the 1900s, revolving around the tragic death of two girls and a controversial book. Said book is the reason why, over a century later, our protagonists set out to tell the sad story of Brookhants, but due to the 'curse' surrounding the location, shooting the scenes gets trickier by the day. As I already said, really complex, really punny (haha, it's true though, there are a lot of puns) but the ending was quite abbreviated. Also, not gonna lie, that was quite the heavy read. Literally. If you like doing exercises and reading, this is a very convenient life hack. You're welcome. -

''Plain Bad Heroines'' is an awesome...
''Plain Bad Heroines'' is an awesome Halloween read for people, who scare easily. It's got the perfect amount of humour mixed with suspenseful scenes and LGBTQIA+ representation, which melts into the story without overpowering it.
