Year two of I Read Horror is done and dusted. How did you do? Once again, I don't think I quite completed the Chilling level (which is 12 books in a year), but let me list the categories below and see how I stacked up...
- Book by a BIPOC (female) - Certain Dark Things, Silvia Moreno-Garcia
- Book by a BIPOC (male) - The Only Good Indians, Stephen Graham Jones
- Folk Horror - Winterset Hollow, Jonathan Edward Durham
- A Gothic horror classic (published 50 or more years ago, published no later than 1972) - The Marble Faun, Nathaniel Hawthorne
- A modern Gothic tale (published within 50 years ago, published 1973 or later) - Fireside Gothic, Andrew Taylor
- Purple, orange, or green on the cover - The Devil in Silver, Victor LaValle
- Serial killer from the past - fiction or non-fiction (before 20th century) Examples: Jack the Ripper, H.H. Holmes, Burke and Hare (I started The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson, but have not finished yet.)
- Short story collection/Anthology
- Slasher
- Vampires - Impact Winter, Travis Beacham
- Werewolves
- Witches - In the House in the Dark of the Woods, Laird Hunt
So, I didn't do too badly. Managed to finish 9 out of 12.
