2025 I Read Horror Year-Round Challenge - Wrap-up


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.

How about you? Share your wrap-up in the comments, or link to a wrap-up post on your blog (or social media, shelf on Goodreads, etc.).

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!
