Amen, southern Orange County here, goddamn I just want it to be comfy autumn but most years the pumpkins are baking in late October. I just thank God we don't have to worry about hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards, floods. Outside the odd earthquake and the state being on fire 90% of the year, this is paradise.

Thirst for Love by Mishima

>> No.19013973

The Golem by Meyrink, also
Gothic fiction in general if you like it (M. R. James, E. A. Poe, etc. maybe even Lovecraft if it's not too cosmic for you)

Also not lit but Over the garden wall is a must for me, especially close to Halloween.
