I apologize for being so late with this update! I've been in such a funk, both in reading and life in general. Too much going on in the world. It's overwhelming and really starting to wear me down. You will see how bad of a funk I'm in below.
How did the first quarter go for you?
- Winter - set in winter or snow on the cover or winter in the title
- Epistolary horror - found footage, told in letters and/or diaries
- Cult and/or ritual
- Haunted house
- Full moon and/or woods on the cover
- Indigenous, Asian, or Latino author
- Pumpkins/Jack O' Lanterns on the cover
- Black author
- Book published in the 60's, 70's, or 80's
- Social justice horror
- Yule/Christmas holiday themed
- Whatever scares you the most
Marla, Jonathan Janz (creepy...creepy scares me the most. lol)

So, as you can see, I'm not doing great. I am hoping I can turn things around starting this month. Wish me luck! Next up for me is The Siren of Groves Peak by Glenn Rolfe. It probably won't fit the challenge though. Oh well.
challenge page in the menu above.
I hope you're enjoying your horrific reading! Share your progress in the comments (update, links to posts/reviews, etc.)...
Thanks for bearing with me! Wishing you terrifying reading.
Yes, I know exactly how you feel. I've often read that people read horror as sort of an escape from the horrors of real life. I can believe it. I'm doing okay, as far as reading goes, though. But not as far along as I'd hoped to be by now. Anyway, here's my list.

I'm very pleased to be a quarter of the way through my 12 and I have picked out books for the rest and have started securing one or more formats of them! I've got a couple that are physical only and I want to focus on those earlier in the year vs later.
