Following my heart, one book at a time...
HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!! ☠️🎃 😀 🎃 ☠️ THIS LIST JUST HAD A HUGE UPDATE (10-31-2019) with more recommendations!!! If you’re more interested in “romance horror” scroll down to the “Scary-Sexy Romance” section. 😀 Also… check out the entire “Horror” category on the blog.
Who’s in the mood to kickoff the Halloween season with a few scary reads? You know what I just realized? I haven’t felt the need to sleep with the lights on, in ages.
About book #1:
Stephen King teams up with long-time friend and award-winning author Richard Chizmar for the first time in this original, chilling novella that revisits the mysterious town of Castle Rock.
There are three ways up to Castle View from the town of Castle Rock: Route 117, Pleasant Road, and the Suicide Stairs. Every day in the summer of 1974, twelve-year-old Gwendy Peterson has taken the stairs, which are held by strong—if time-rusted—iron bolts and zig-zag up the precarious cliffside.
Oh Mony is a girl after my own heart!!! She’s asking for both of my favorite book genres in one, and I’m ALL EARS too! 😀 And this is the perfect post and topic for today. Friday the 13th!!! 😬😬😬
She asks:
I’m wondering if anyone would have a recommendation for a horror romance book?
Thank you! ☺️
We already have a “sort-of” list for this (a horror list), but I’m glad Mony asked, because I want to focus this list on 100% having love stories (or romance) weaved in, too.
So I one-clicked it, and saved it for a scary-craving moment and now… I devoured it. Oh and… I went in completely blind, other than that creepy title, and the fact that it was making so many “scary must reads” lists.
It took me way too long to read despite being so certain that it would be a book I’d devour. I paid that full price for it (I didn’t even wait for it to go on sale), so you know I was rubbing my hands together with creepy-glee. I’m a huge fan of The Amityville Horror (the movie and the book), and this one definitely seemed to have “that feel” going in. I WAS ALL IN!!
<— Oooooooh eeeerieeee!!! I love the sound of this one and I’m excited that the author is this week’s newsletter sponsor ’cause not only has he sent over the blurb, but a short and creepy excerpt that has me wanting more. She’s in college and wakes up one morning and everything is just a bit… off. Is it a psych-thriller? Is it a time travel thriller? Is it horror? What is going on??!!! YES!!! 😀 I love when a blurb jolts me like that! P.S. It’s super-bargain priced today AND it’s in KU!!
