Halloween reading
#spookyreads

I'm not often freaked out by horror, but Ania Ahlborn is one of my go to authors when I need a refill of nightmare fuel. The Devil Crept In was my first Ahlborn & it really got under my skin. I Call Upon Thee is included in a collection of two novellas entitled Apart in the Dark. I didn't care much for the The Pretty Ones, the other novella, but I Call is trademark #creepy Ahlborn. It's available on Kindle for just a couple of dollars.

⚡️ I can‘t decide on the scariest but the tagged book definitely got to me.
⚡️Salo is definitely one... Cannibal Holocaust was traumatic 🐢 (Martyrs also but I recommend it)
⚡️Um.. top 2: I was once in a snowmobile accident and hit a tree headfirst/ My house was broken into when I was home alone.

I don‘t think I‘ll fit in another book, so here‘s what I read in February.

I listened to Tiffany Haddish‘s memoir, Burnt Offerings, and I Call Upon Thee (so creepy).

I loved everything I read - it was a great reading month! 😄

Kristi Demeester‘s book took me the longest to read. It‘s very good; she writes beautifully. But her stuff is super dark and heavy. Even though I love horror, it wasn‘t something I could blow through in one sitting.

A ouija board and a ghost/evil/demonic prescence? Sign me up!
I started this only a few days ago and the next thing I knew I only had an hour left! A great tale with a really interesting female friendship *not* centered around guys at all!
The explanation during the climax seemed unnecessary/repetitive but still...great pick!

Love Ahlborn's characters. All three of her books that I've read focus on themes of family and responsibility. This one is spooky, but low on gore. Drawing out the details of the deaths in the book felt unnecessary to me, otherwise I enjoyed it. The e-book version of most of her books are available for $0.99 - $4.99 right now.
The above quote is from the author's notes at the end of the book. 👻

This was a great creepy ghost story. This is the kind of book I like. No serial killers or realistic violence.aI Girl, a ouija board, and a ghost/demon. I wish it was longer. This is black cat approved.
If anyone has any other recommendations like this I'd love it. Thank @JoeStalksBeck . Great pick. Tap Tap Tap.

Reading break because the puglet refuses to learn to walk herself. Can't believe I need a jacket in August in SoCal. #readerproblems

The blob is Bon Jovi. And yes I did bring a book.

Terrifying. Ahlborn has managed to write a #horror novella that has all the paranormal hallmarks without seeming overwrought, by focusing on the emotional state of her main character. This is horror done well. I need all her books stat.

Ania Ahlborn looks so sweet, but she can write some of the creepiest stuff! #wcw

It's starting to get creepy. Persephone's helping me read.

Waiting for people to show up at a sports bar so I can shoot video for a commercial. I'm so glad I ALWAYS have a book with me. It's gorgeous out here. And quiet. Not good for the commercial, but great for my introverted self.

Scary lunch at my desk.

This book was insanely scary but the authors note at the end just locked it down ! I can't even explain the emotions I felt when reading it. It's a quick read that you must get! Read it now! #whattiffyandritaarereading

O.M.G‼️ this book is so scary. It the authors note at the end will leave you stuttering and shaking! I've never read anything like. Nothing has ever made me .... I don't know how to explain it. Just shook me. #whattiffyandritaarereading

@JoeStalksBeck I don't know if I should thank you or yell at you, but I bought this.
Now, should I wait to read it when the #manpanion is here, or alone tonight (I may be a little tipsy).

I'm never going in my closet again

Just got this new novella from Ania Ahlborn! So excited! 1.99 on Amazon!
