Year five complete! I was able to complete the Chilling level (12 books), and while I did not get a Bingo (or the coverall I was going for), I did manage to read a few Cryptid books. Here's what I read...
- Vampires - The Vampire Armand, Anne Rice
- Witches - Rosemary's Baby, Ira Levin
- Folk Horror - Pine, Francine Toon
- Written by a BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) author - The Hacienda, Isabel Canas
- A Ghost Story - Humbug, Luciano Marano
- Written by a female author - Diavola, Jennifer Marie Thorne
- Cosmic Horror - Annihilation, Jeff Vandermeer
- Frightening Cover - All the Fiends of Hell, Adam Nevill
- Adapted as movie/series - The Picture of Dorian Gray, Oscar Wilde
- Katsu, Ketchum, King, or Koontz - Holly, Stephen King
- Black, gray, orange, or red cover - Horseman, Christina Henry
- Book featuring a Cryptid (mark off one BINGO square!) - The Dover Demon, Hunter Shea
Besides the Cryptid book above, I also read Loch Ness Revenge by Hunter Shea and Rogue (Bigfoot) by Luke Phillips.
In case you missed it, sign-up for I Read Horror YR 2026 is open. This year I've added a fun (optional) Complete the Word challenge. Here's the link to the post. I hope you will join me again!
Oh, yes, loved The Hacienda. There are a few others I've read, but most are new to me. And here's my list. Made it to Chilling!
