First off I grabbed a physical book this week. I had Stalking Jack the Ripper so I knew I had to have Hunting Prince Dracula in physical form as well. Just so happens Walmart had it on release day. Now to make time to read them both.
I
grabbed three books for my Kindle. One night I sat around and searched
for horror book videos on BookTube and wouldn't you know, it led to
some 1-clicking. I'm excited about these though. Florence and Giles is a Gothic horror and Cinema of Shadows and Spook House sounded too good to pass up.
And finally I received three books for review. Mad Hatter and March Hares is a new anthology. I don't like Alice in Wonderland but like the retelling #IAmOdd. Mortal Likeness is the second book in a series so I need to hurry up and read The Ripper's Shadow. And you know I couldn't go a whole post without a dog somewhere so let me present to you Stay Calm and Collie On. Which reminds me of my favorite line from American Horror this week - "Calm up!! Calm Up!"
What did you add this week???
Great set of books you got here! I'm really interested in Hunting for Dracula!

Ronyell @ Rabbit Ears Book Blog and join in this week’s Recommend Me This! Saturdays!
I had to have it to go with Stalking Jack the Ripper. Now I just need to read them both!
DeleteNice haul! The Ripper's Shadow and A Mortal Likeness look really interesting! I'm looking forward to hear your thoughts on them! Have a great week and happy reading!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Lynn.
DeleteI need Stalking Dracula! Those ones your picked up for your kindle look good. How did I miss this Victorian mystery series you have...your falling down on the job you should have told me about the first one! LOL :) I saw the Collie one and thought of you...lol.
ReplyDeleteWhat can I say, I'm slipping!
DeleteWhat a great haul! I have Stalking Dracula too, but Florence & Giles looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteI'm super curious about it as well.
DeleteAwesome haul. I hope you enjoy them all and have a wonderful weekend. Happy reading. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks. I'm sure there are some good ones here.
DeleteAnything Dracula I love and Florence and Giles is Gothic and set in New England so that's a MUST! Can't wait to see what you think of it!
ReplyDeleteHope to read it soon. I thought of you when I grabbed it!
Deleteoh oh oh then I really need to read it if you thought I would like it!!!
DeleteI enjoyed Cinema of Shadows and Spook House. They read a lot like horror movies.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you liked them. They sounded like fun.
DeleteOoooh! I can't wait to see your reviews of many of these books!!
ReplyDeleteI'm finding way too many spooky books to read right now - not enough time!
DeleteOh I hope you enjoy Hunting Prince Dracula, I've heard nothing but good things about the series! My Shelf
ReplyDeleteMe too.
DeleteOh, Spook House and Mad Hatters and March Hares both sound really good. I hope you enjoy all your new books and have a great weekend. - Katie
ReplyDeleteThanks Katie - you got a lot of great books this week too!
DeleteLooks like a good bunch here! I hope you enjoy 'em. I'm kind of curious about A Mortal Likeness myself.
ReplyDeleteI still need to read the first one but it's been on my list forever so hopefully this will motivate me.
DeleteI do want to read Stalking Jack the Ripper and this new book. Stay Calm and Collie On has such a cute cover! Did you see the book Tomorrow on NetGalley? It has a dog on the cover and is the story of an immortal dog that is over 200 years old. It just sounded like a Barb book to me :)
ReplyDeleteI just looked up Tomorrow - it's a must-have!
DeleteSpooky books! Mad Hatters and March Hares is tempting me. Enjoy! Thanks for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteIt's a perfect time for spooky!
DeleteI've been seeing that Prince Dracula book everywhere. I have yet to look at its description. I guess I should... Is it sad to say that vampires just don't interest me anymore?
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy your new lovelies, and thanks for visiting Shell's Stories!
I like my vampires gritty and not sparkly. I try to find books where they are so romanticized and then I can like them better.
DeleteNice haul this week! I see you're loading up on the dark, paranormal and horror books. I also hope to be filling my October with atmospheric reads for the season :)
ReplyDelete~Mogsy @ BiblioSanctum
Yep, I'm finding way too many spooky books with potential.
DeleteOoh scary stuff. :) I was at the bookstore and saw the new Maniscalco book. They look nice in person. :)
ReplyDeleteIt is a pretty book. So is the first one.
DeleteI am really curious about Stalking Jack the Ripper and Hunting Prince Dracula. I hope you enjoy them, Barb! A Mortal Likeness is new to me, but it sounds right up my alley. I hope you enjoy your week and your new books!
ReplyDeleteYou too - have a wonderful week.
DeleteI still need to read Stalking Jack the Ripper! Every time it pops up in my feed, it's nothing but glowing reviews. Here's hoping you love the second book just as much!
ReplyDeleteJen @ Star-Crossed Book Blog
Me too Jen. So many people loved Stalking Jack the Ripper.
DeleteI want all of your books! It's been a while since I read Michael West. Have to check that out for sure! Happy reading, Barb!
ReplyDeleteHe had a few more interesting ones as well.
DeleteThose Michael West books look fabulous!
ReplyDeletesherry @ fundinmental Sunday memes
I adore the covers and I'm hoping they are something like the Shea books I've been enjoying lately.
DeleteNice haul - I love the sound of the vampire book, but then I'm always a pushover for vampire stories. I've read Florence and Giles - it's good, has this gothic vibe and it's based on The Turn of the Screw (I think off the top of my head!).
ReplyDeleteLynn :D
Yea I heard mention it was based on that book. You know I never knew that book was Gothic horror? Maybe it's a classic I might enjoy.
DeleteI haven't heard of Michael West but those covers look enticing. Must check out the blurbs!
