It's time of year again for one of the best autumn reading events on Booktube!
This event was created by me, (@M-J) to help out Occult Detective Magazine and to being a greater awareness to THIS AWESOME subgenre of books and stories!
Check out Occult Detective Magazine here:
greydogtales.com/blog/occult-detective-magazine
OR HERE:
Search Occult Detective Magazine on Amazon - some issues are on Kindle Unlimited
**WEEKLY PROMPTS**
Week 1 - Pre-1960
Week 2 - Post - 1960
Week 3 - Diversity
Week 4 - Anything Goes
**If you want to go deeper with the prompts, check these out!**
Week 1: Public Domain. An attempt to get people to check out some of the older stuff that they can get free on Gutenberg.
Week 2: Urban Fantasy. A week devoted to stuff like Jim Butcher's Dresden Files, where the supernatural is common, with the general public knowing about it to a greater, or lesser extent.
Week 3: Pulp adventure. OD's from the 20s through the 70s, covering the Weird Tales authors, and the Men's Adventure material.
Week 4: Diversity. OD's who aren't cis white males. From female, through people of colour to LBGTP++, and the non-humans.
