I wanted to like this more but both relationships are guilty of too little talking to each other to cause all the tension. The ghosts and haunting story is well done though! 10 points for on theme for #TeamStoker for #Scarathlon

A different read for a Nora Roberts, but I enjoyed this horror/suspense/romance. The first book of a trilogy and I will be checking out the rest to see how our intrepid protagonists conquer the demonic presence in their small New England town.

I snagged this off Audible Escape mainly because Halloween is in the title. Unfortunately I am bailing on this one. It started well but I‘m just frustrated with the characters and their development. But hey a 5 point book about Halloween! #TeamStoker #Scarathlon

An excellent production of a so-so novella that predates Dracula. I am giving this a borderline pick as I enjoyed the plot and a lot of the gothic feel but not as much the melodramatic writing. A nice quick listen though! #horror #Scarathlon #TeamStoker 3 points!

The few #orange books I own and only one would fit in as a #Scarathlon theme - Annihilation trilogy.

A cute little novella that is part of the Nocturne Falls series! Sort of works as a stand-alone, but nor really. 6 points for #TeamStoker for #scarathon!
@TheReadingMermaid

This was an enjoyable YA horror novel. Lots of girl power, though it starts as a typical high school drama, it goes deeper than that. The audio is done well. 3 points for #scarathon #TeamStoker
@TheReadingMermaid

For today‘s prompt #horror for #ChillingPhotoChallenge I always found this to be the most frightening cover, and on a children‘s book no less. I want to reread and see the movie!

Though not a strict horror book, there is a stalker and a cow heart involved in this enjoyable novella. This is part of Scott‘s Stage Dive series, though can be read alone. #scarathon #romantsy 1 point!
