POSTS STORIES REELS

🎞️ Welcome to The Vinyl Literary Lounge 🎞️
A space for readers who overthink every chapter and pair every story with a soundtrack.

I’m Claire — a history major with a women & gender studies minor, proud book and record hoarder, and curator of literary mixtapes. Here, I track what I’m reading, what I’m listening to, and the stories that linger long after the last page. Expect reviews, aesthetic posts, and maybe the occasional historical deep dive.

If you love murder mysteries, morally gray characters, overlooked history, feminist nonfiction, Silicon Valley drama, theatre kid energy, and paperbacks that feel like lost records… you’re in the right place.

✨ Let’s build the lounge together. Drop your recs, stay awhile, and have fun with me!

Every final girl has a story. Every crime scene has evidence. And every good horror story leaves something behind. 🩸🔎

🖼️ Now on display in The Vinyl Literary Lounge’s Museum of Finished Books: Deep Cuts by Kyle Higgins and Joe Clark

Spanning decades of jazz history, Deep Cuts explores the music, musicians, and communities that shaped one of America’s most influential art forms. From the birth of jazz in 1917 New Orleans to the evolving sounds of Los Angeles in the late 1970s, this six-issue comic anthology weaves together stories of ambition, struggle, forgotten legacies, and the artists who changed music forever.

🎟️ Curated exhibit includes:
🎷 The evolution of jazz across six decades
🎺 New Orleans jazz, the swing era, and bebop
📻 The communities, struggles, and cultural movements that shaped American music
🎶 Exhibit soundtrack: “It Don’t Mean a Thing (If It Ain’t Got That Swing)” — Duke Ellington
