I've been having a lot of fun participating in this year's FrightFall readathon, and I've really enjoyed having the opportunity to try several new authors and books for the very first time. Some of the "new" books I've chosen to read have been ones that have been in bookstores for a while, but I've also… Continue reading Creepy Cat
The Witch Haven
One thing I've really enjoyed about participating in the FrightFall readathon is having the opportunity to celebrate the spooky season by reading a lot of different kinds of books, both old and new. Throughout the past couple of weeks, I've read a really nice mixture of horror novels, thrillers, and Gothic literature. Earlier this week,… Continue reading The Witch Haven
The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
We've officially entered the third full week of the FrightFall readathon, and I have to say that I have definitely been enjoying the experience so far.

Gothic Tales
Over the past couple of years, Elizabeth Gaskell (who wrote North and South and Wives and Daughters) has become one of my all-time favorite authors. Her books not only tell wonderful stories, but they also do a great job of shining light on some of the class issues that were present during the time in… Continue reading Gothic Tales
Survive the Night
Although I've spent most of October reading horror novels, I also wanted to take some time to read some thrillers from my TBR list. I love a good thriller, and one of the books I chose to read this week not only fit that description perfectly, but also earned a five-star rating from me on… Continue reading Survive the Night
The Final Girl Support Group
When it comes to the horror genre, I generally like to stick with books that are on the spooky, more atmospheric end of the horror spectrum. But every once in a while, I do enjoy reading things that are on the scarier side. One of the scary books I decided to read for the very… Continue reading The Final Girl Support Group
Horseman: A Tale of Sleepy Hollow
One of my favorite stories to read during the autumn/Halloween season is The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, by Washington Irving. I fell in love with the plot the first time I read it, and it's one that I often find myself returning to around this time of year (either by re-reading my copy of Irving's… Continue reading Horseman: A Tale of Sleepy Hollow
Tales from the Haunted Mansion
As I've mentioned in previous posts, one of my favorite Disney attractions is the Haunted Mansion. I've read and reviewed a couple of Haunted Mansion-centric titles this year, including The Haunted Mansion: Imagineering A Disney Classic and Disney Kingdoms: The Haunted Mansion. A few days into FrightFall, I decided to read the Tales from the… Continue reading Tales from the Haunted Mansion
The Hollow Places
I'm currently five days into the FrightFall readathon, and I have to say that I'm having a marvelous time so far! For my second spooky book of the month, I decided to read The Hollow Places, by T. Kingfisher. I've been a fan Kingfisher's writing ever since I picked up a copy of A Wizard's… Continue reading The Hollow Places
