Book 2 of #24in48

This was super unsettling! A creepy kid with a dash of weird cosmic horror - I loved it! 😱

This is the first book I‘ve read by this author, but it won‘t be my last.

@Carolyn11215 you are so amazing!! You got everything so perfectly right and thank you so much for sending a makeup package! #feedareader

Woo hoo! My internet is finally fixed - just in time for #24in48! Now I won‘t eat up my cellular data during the readathon. 😂

This is my stack so far. I‘m excited to jump into these books, but I have plenty of unread books waiting in the sidelines if needed. I also have a couple audiobooks and ebooks lined up. Hoping to put a small dent in The Stand. 📚

Still jet lagged from my trip and decided to creepy myself out at 4 am.

I love this cover and it‘s was a super creepy read! A short story but it was perfect ❣️You will never look at a Sour Patch Candy the same again 😂

Or a grocery store 🤷‍♀️

An unsettling one-sitting read with a killer cover and great premise. @FantasyChick #n4c

Ho Ho Holy sh*t did you spoil me, Vanessa! I am gobsmacked by how thoughtful and very very me everything you sent is. Even the mug is perfect for me - when my anxious daughter is having a tough time I always prompt her to say “I Got This” ❤️💕❤️💕 #nightmareforChristmas #n4c @FantasyChick @teebe

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Absolutely flawless and unsettling as heck, just as I‘ve come to expect from all of Kealan‘s work! #horror

I read this one after unboxing on Halloween. It was such a fun, quick read. It‘d be cool if the author revisited it and put out a longer novel with the same storyline. I definitely want to read more by the author.

Also, I didn‘t mention this in my Halloween post, but I love the Poe pin! Thanks again, @sprainedbrain 🖤🖤

At first glance, Phil Pendleton and his son Adam are just an ordinary father and son, no different from any other family. Some might say the father is a little too accommodating given the lack of discipline when the child loses his temper in public. What no one knows is that Phil is a prisoner, and that up until a few weeks ago and a chance encounter at a grocery store, he had never seen the child before in his life.

Way too predictable and not long enough for any real plot or character development. Love that cover though. :)

I‘m kind of on a reading roll this week! This was creepy, but I wish it had been longer!

@MaleficentBookDragon I love all my goodies!! I loved that water bottle when we did the bottle and book swap and now I have my own! The magnets are amazing and the It bookmark! I love my kindle books and print books! Plus I am a huge Beyonce fan so those lemonade socks are perfection! Thanks so very much! 🖤🖤🖤
Awesome swap and thanks to the fabulous Rita for organizing all of this-it is a job! 🖤🖤🖤

Had this little book for a while and finally got around to reading it tonight.
I really wish this were longer. It didn't build up any foreboding or creepy factor for me. I couldn't really care for Phil. *shrug* wasn't all that scary, but I can see this as a pretty cool movie.

4🌟🌟🌟🌟 Tasty Tasty little morsels 🍬🍬🍬😈... This Author‘s novellas are fast becoming favorites of mine ☠️☠️☠️

❣️ thank you @MaleficentBookDragon I LOVEEEE MY DROGON!!! I squealed so loud i had to explain. That‘s also one of my favs from a pets life too already hanging from one of the cat carriers! And these expresso beans OMGGGG me and my mom were fighting over the bag! Why hadnt i had these before!!!! Thank you! Loved everything!!! #keychainswap

Sour Candy is a lot smaller than I expected! But I got my #bookhaul which includes some non-pictured postcards :) stoked to get to both of these!

Well, that was weird. And creepy. And pretty good. Thanks again @JoeStalksBeck
It‘s also another one down from my #unreadshelfproject2018 #kindle edition

Look what the awesome @JoeStalksBeck sent me. Looks very scary and creepy. One of the most terrifying twilight zones for me is the one with kid who can make everyone do what he says, and the blurb for this book reminds me of that. Thank you so much!!! 💕🤗

Well, this is a fun read (If, for you, “fun” = creepy and disturbing). Part psychological thriller, part straight-up horror, this was my first introduction to Kealan Patrick Burke...and now I‘m off to search for more! 😱

A good solid horror story. Unique but with a nod to H.P. Lovecraft. The story did not progress in the way I expected, and that made it so much better. I love the imagery of the deer head skull with the antlers. So creepy!

So excited to get these 3 Kealan Patrick Burke books. I finally spent my Barnes and Noble gift card I received for my birthday in October. Deciding what to buy was a big decision. So many options 😄

When a story reminds you of the best of King and Lovecraft, you know you've read something great. This short story is delightfully creepy and unsettling. Here's the first sentence to whet your appetite.

"Four months to the day he first encountered the boy at Walmart, the last of Phil Pendleton's teeth fell out."

It's something you've been told since childhood: never take candy from a stranger because possibly some very bad things will happen to you & that's exactly what happens to our protagonist Phil. His entire life changes & suddenly a creepy little boy is calling him daddy. I liked this short creepy psychological horror novella, although it got a little weird for me at times. It did confirm my belief that children are super creepy.

Available on KU.

Has anyone else read this?

Lady Killer was EXCELLENT...and what a quick read. Onto book #4 of @DeweysReadathon just in time for dinner. Hope everyone is enjoying today‘s reads. It‘s been a great opportunity to catch up on the library book pile I‘m behind on.

I'm finishing #thehauntingofhillhouse today and have my lineup for#screamathon in October ready @4thhouseontheleft . #ATB perfect time of year to get creepy🦇🕷🕸🎃👻

Awesome pre-Halloween read. Very Lovecraftian with weird elder monsters, a creepy kid, a twilight zone type twist.

This year I beat my 2015 total by two books! Happy New Year everyone!!

This little novella was a little disturbing and unsettling. I think I'm sorry I read it. I'm kind of freaked out, and now I don't know WHAT to read. 🤔

Bella's not sure what to make of this novella, but she's been very jealous of her cat sisters having their pictures on Litsy recently. So here's my pretty girl, making her Litsy debut. #PetsOfLitsy #DogsOfLitsy

This is a great, creepy short story. It reads like a Twilight Zone episode with a little Lovecraft mixed in. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

You know when you read a blurb and you're suddenly dying to read the book? That.

This title with this cover had me gnawing my fingertips. Scary! And at only 65ish pages, a one-sitting scarefest. Woo hoo!

This book seemed odd at first but it kept me hooked up to the last page.
