Gaston Leroux Book Club: June 2026

Welcome to our first ever Leroux Book Club book! This month we are starting with one of Leroux's most famous books:

Le Mystère de la chambre jaune // The Mystery of the Yellow Room

Le Mystère de la chambre jaune was first published Sept 7-Nov 30 1907 as a serial in L'Illustration and is the first book in Leroux's Rouletabille mystery series.

It was first published as a novel in 1908 and first translated into english the same year by an unknown translator. It was also translated into english in 2009 by Jean-Marc Lofficier and Randy Lofficier with the title: Rouletabille and The Mystery of the Yellow Room.

You can find copies of both the french and english on Project Gutenberg:

French (1908)

English (1908)

“Wedding”

I wanted the tone to be bittersweet day one. I feel like I delivered this finally.

#I love Albert's pieces #theyre so scandalous hehe #he doesn't shy away from depicting his subjects how he pleases #yet the atmosphere always feels warm and inviting

Gaston Leroux Book Club

So...recently I (sort of accidentally) thrifted a whole pile of Leroux's books that I've been wanting to read for ages, and I thought it would be really cool to share them with people and start a kind of book club!

On the first of each month (starting this June) I'll make a post announcing the book for the month with links to public domain copies and translations into English if they exist. (Please feel free to reblog with links to other languages if you have them!)

Just reblog the month's post (I'll keep it pinned) with your thoughts and and I'll do the same when I'm done! I'm super interested in what everyone thinks, and of course if you have a cool edition or illustrated version, definitely share pics!

I'll see you all on June 1 with the first pick!

#I have been talking about Christine selfcest for a long time #how embarrassing #this is my onceler fanfiction #like I'm so fucking greedy one Christine isn't enough #I need to himejoshi out to the same woman twice #she probably would take really good care of barb #like you know that metaphor people give like #“if it were some other person with your struggles would you empathize with them?”#like its that but on a literal level #like twin is me and I need to take care of them this isn't projection hahaha #my psyche is actively unraveling

Might you be able to provide any old medicine themed dividers? Syringes, lobotomy tools, used scalpels, etc?

[VINTAGE MEDICAL CORE: STAMPS AND BANNERS]

PLS CREDIT if you use

stamps best seen on dark mode

two sizes of blinkies: 730x99 px and 150x20 px

collected stuff for this post for a whILE and was never satisfied. take a few stamps as well! sorry none of the banners/dividers are blinkies, the images didn't look good with the effect. idk i'm trying to learn a new style of blinkies with a border that could work for these, so I may come back to them. here's some extra stuff I found that may fit your aesthetic.

OTHER GRAPHICS I FOUND:
