                                   Hello, My Dark & Different Readers

This is a nice movie, it's under a different category. The movie and that's made from the book called The Shape of Water. I watched the DVD last night and it was nicely done. I might read the book, not sure yet. Anyway, it's about a mute woman named Elsa who's in her early 30s. She works the night shift as a cleaning woman in a research lab in the early 60's.  She is lonely. Has a set routine that she does every day until she meets a fishman. (That's what I call him anyway) Who she connects with. The story goes on from there about their meeting, the cruelty the fishman endures, and her helping him escape. With the help of her gay neighbor and a co-worker. 

The story is of determination, finding love when you least expect it, and overcoming obstacles. While finding true love in strange places.  while dealing with differences from such love. The only thing I disliked was about the movie the way people were treated in that era. 

The story, or rather movie, was good. I think this is the only monster love story that is out. But don't quote me on that.

                                               So what are you reading today?       

I Need To Read this

                                                    Hello My Dark & Different Readers.

Can you imagine what kind of story this would be from the cover alone? ok, it's probably a PG-13 kind of  story, but still. It looks good enough to read. She is a woman monster he's afraid of . Yet deep down, he found her interesting and slightly attracted to. In a different dark story he could see past her flaws and grow to love her. Crazy right?  The only thing missing in this picture is that the woman needed to stick out her tongue at him like she wants a lick. (LOL) I would  read a dark romance with these two as characters. What about you?

                                   Hello, My Dark & Different Readers

Happy May. So, what are you reading this month that's Dark or Different? I tried to read Circus Of the Dead By Kimberly Loth. This was a young adult book, no less. it should have been an adult book for the situations in this book. It's about a girl named Callie who is around sixteen. she's sent off to stay with an uncle for the summer, who works for the circus of the dead. This circus offers strange attractions like being bitten by a snake, and other various acts that bring people close to death. Behind all these attractions and people is a reason for the circus being there.  Callie's not sure why her mother sent her to work with her uncle. But she goes along with the plan to this spooky circus in Louisiana in the swamp lands. There is no way of getting to civilization unless you take a boat back and forth. Which, by the way, is cursed and run by the ring master.

The whole story is about Callie, who's a little too naive, and how she meets workers of the circus who are living, and others who happen to be ghosts. The whole store is just crazy. The ringmaster has a crush on her, and he's about 20-something is a mystery within himself. Then there's a seventeen-year-old gangster ghost she meets that's questionable as well. I couldn't take her being so young, and everything was her first, like a kiss, and her not knowing anything but yet she was feisty. The character is too confusing, along with the story. To me I just couldn't see an old twenty-something going after a sixteen-year-old. You read it could be me, maybe you have another way to see this story. Good luck
