I’ve been reading something spooky/creepy/horrific around this time for a few years now. Does anyone else do this? Any recommendations?
My reads:
- 2023: Perfectly Preventable Deaths by Deirdre Sullivan
- 2022: Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier
- 2021: Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux
- 2020: The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman
- 2019: Red Dragon by Thomas Harris
- 2018: Lincoln in the Bardo by George Saunders & Something Wicked this Way Comes by Ray Bradbury
- 2017: Carrie by Stephen King
- 2016: Jekyll and Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson
- 2015: The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving
- 2014: The Shadow Over Innsmouth by H. P. Lovecraft
- 2012: The Call of Cthulhu by H. P. Lovecraft
- 2009: Dracula by Bram Stoker
- 2008: Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
I think most of those books are older than I am! New releases go into the to-read list, to settle in and get comfy alongside the ~600 others.
Hahaha that’s fair! I’m a big mood reader and happy to ignore my TBR (which I keep small) so reading new releases does happen sometimes :)
