Welcome to Litsy!

1) the tagged book, plus comic anthology The Sleep of Reason. Last movie that did it (and had me locking my interior doors!) was the original Black Christmas.
2) Oh gosh, I read a lot of genre, so there's so many! But also my brain is insisting that I've never read a book in my life. Let's say the season appropriate Food Fright, a goofy little novella.
3) Any color I wear any other time of year!

This book moves at the quick pace of a horror movie, but I would have still loved it if it had been a 500-page extremely slow burn. Either way, it‘s wonderfully creepy, keeps you on the edge of your seat, and the ending is absolutely perfect!

The Devil just might never stop taking in this YA horror, which is legit one of the most unsettling books I have ever read.
(As Qcard trash, my favorite bit of Devil's Due is the suggestion that Ardra is just Q, a fun new way to bother/flirt with Picard.)

This was creepy. It just took a long time to really get into anything and even longer for anything scary to happen. It definitely had a sinister vibe to it and a dark and haunting ending. Not bad, but I didn‘t love it. #booked2018 #spooky read

My #currentread , finally getting to this one! Also, I‘m having a big book sale this Saturday, June 2nd, as part of a large neighborhood-wise yard sale-if you are in the Chicagoland area and would like the address, just let me know!

So this book......is CREEPY! With a slow build up that made me think of bailing, it recovered quickly. This read impressed and surprised me. This story is going to stick around a little after finishing because I honestly had low expectations. #creepyfactor

Scratch that I don't want an adult. 😨😱😢

Rainy day here in Manchester, so I took the day off from work to be surrounded by books, coffee and tea!

This excerpt is from Hungry Devils and Other Tales from Vanuatu. Gripping is a gross understatement here. 😡😭

Well, of course, this was creepy. The title and book cover alone will give you the willies. It's Stephen King meets Little House on the Prairie, enough said. Great build up to an extremely creepy ending. 4.5 stars!

Been wanting to read this for a while now, hopefully it will be as good as it looks. :)

So creepy! Half way done and I'm thankful I didn't choose to save this read for a snow day because #cabinfever is terrifying.

This was waaay creepier than I expected from a YA book. I feel like I‘m starting my season of scary stories off right!

Wow, I have to admit this book was very creepy. A real page turner,that left me with that uncomfortable feeling of fear

Ok ... girls weekend book #2

Total let down. I was so psyched after reading the starred reviews and blurb. I was waiting and waiting for something to happen but there was no suspense and really no climax.

No. Just no. This was not scary. At all. Nor was it well written or interesting. Luckily it was short.

My husband gets up this morning sees what I'm reading and reads the title out loud. Me: (reading the quote on the cover) "imagine Stephen King writing Little House on the Prairie." Him: so naturally you had to buy it. Me: so naturally I had to buy it! ?

Creepy!! This was a good old-fashioned creeper complete with pioneering families, isolation, and demons. Good stuff!

My commute listen tonight.

I was not expecting quite as much horror. Slow build and almost painful amount of angsting at the start, but did go somewhere. Last line of audiobook combined with rising music of ending genuinely scared me. Stephen King meets Little House on the Prairie indeed.

⭐⭐. 5 While it was a super quick read, I did not find it scary. I actually found it rather predictable and the characters were lacking any depth.

A little spooky reading for December.... #ebook #librarybook #overdrive

This book really surprised me. The first 150 pages or so were kind of cliche and I was all "Yep, uh-huh, I've been down this road before." I seriously considered giving up, but then things started getting REAL CREEPY. A so-so just because of the slow start and some overdone plot points, but still going to sleep a little less easy because of this one.

When I can't decide which book I'd like to read next, sometimes I'll ask my boyfriend to pick something out of my stack of library books. There was a lot of "Ooooh.." and "WHAAAAT?" when he was reading the blurb for this one, so let's see if it lives up to his hype.

#spookybooksforever

This is one of relatively few #creepycovers on my bookshelf, and after looking at it again today, I think it needs to move up on my #TBR.

#Booktober #ya

This is a definite favorite of mine from this month, a quick spooky read! #YAspooky #allhallowsread #photoadaychallenge

What a spooky book! I thought this was a great and easy read for October. Only took me about a day to read it! #booktober

Blah. If you care nothing about anachronisms, inconsistencies or character depth, it's an okay read. Just because something is intended for teens doesn't mean it's okay to be a lazy writer. The author also doesn't know nothin' 'bout birthin' babies. Teenagers really don't need this kind of misinformation. With so many good YA titles, it would be a shame to waste time on this one.

The anachronisms in this story are driving me crazy. Guessing this is set in the mid to late 1800's. Anyone know?

I started and finished this today, I literally could not put it down! I really recommend this for a quick spooky read. 👻🕸🕯 #scaretober #spookybooks

I love the spooky cover! Excited to start this🕯 #booktober #scaretober

Creepy but a little religious heavy for me. Not bad but not a book that will give me nightmares either.

This week's #recommendsday selection is dedicated to YA horror. A few years ago I was in a bad reading slump (I'm talking several months) and YA horror is what got me back into reading.

Everyone has their own definition of scary and Daughters Unto Devils scared the pants off me. Slasher Girls is a fantastic collection of short horror stories; a great way to introduce yourself to YA authors. Survive the Night is fun for fans of B-horror movies! 👻

Enjoyed this one a lot. Starts off slow but the end makes up for it. Good addition to my Halloween reads 🎃

This was pretty creepy😰

When the Verners arrive at their new home, a large cabin abandoned by its previous owners, they discover the inside covered in blood. And as the days pass, it is obvious to Amanda that something isn't right on the prairie. She's heard stories of lands being tainted by evil, of men losing their minds and killing their families, and there is something strange about the doctor and his son who live in the woods on the edge of the prairie.

#TBR 😱📚

About 85% of this book caused me to roll my eyes and sigh dramatically. It was so... Basic? UNTIL THE END. Then I found myself scared shitless, sitting up in bed, devouring the last couple of chapters. Horrifying for sure.

Day 4 of #Booktober: bookmarks. I own about a million different bookmarks, but since my local independent bookstore gives me a handful of these every time I visit, they end up being my go to bookmarks!

This book looks creepy! Can we say October read? Well maybe...I have a feeling that I will want to read something witchy! #books #AmyLukavics #booklover #horror #halloweenreads

Good quick but creepy read. The author did a good job of building the atmosphere.

My daughter holding my read for today. Hope it is as creepy as it promises, though the cover reminds me of a Japanese horror flick.

🔔🔔 if this horror novel is on your TBR list it's $2.99 ebook Amazon/B&N (U.S.)

EVIL LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE

Well, that was delightfully chilling. Good, quick read perfect for a dark, rainy day. I don't want to visit the prairie anytime soon.
