R.I.P. X - Yes, another challenge!

Artwork by Abigail Larson

R.eaders I.mbibing P.eril is a challenge that has been running for the past 9 years.  I think I may have stumbled on it in the past, but this is the first year it has really caught my eye and with my reading habits, it's perfect for me - especially this time of the year.  This year, for the first time, it is being hosted by The Estrellla Society and basically there are a few different challenges.  The challenge runs from September 1st - October 31st and you can read anything which falls into the following categories:

MYSTERY
SUSPENSE
THRILLER
DARK FANTASY
GOTHIC
HORROR
SUPERNATURAL

Here's what I plan on doing and what I have to choose from:

READ 4 BOOKS FROM THE ABOVE CATEGORIES:



Locke & Key 4 Locke & Key 5 The Dead House The Subterranean Season
A Line of Blood A Likely Story The Casquette Girls Wonderland


READ SOME SHORT STORIES

Edgar Allan Poe Nocturns


WATCH SCARY MOVIES



 I watch scary movies normally so I think that will be a piece of cake.  In fact, the only challenge that really worries me is the short stories one because I don't always have the best of luck with them.  I will keep you guys posted with updates throughout the 2 months.

  1. Great list, the covers already look suitably creepy :) I really enjoy Connolly's works and Poe's short stories. I didn't sign up for Peril on the Screen, might it might be time to finally watch Let the Right One in :) Happy reading!

  2. I have trouble with short stories too. Even though they are short, I keep pushing them aside because they are short. Well, actually read one from my pick but didn't much care for it so will have to try another collection.

  3. I liked Connolly's The Book of Lost Things, but I didn't know he had a short story collection. I might have to give it a look!

    1. Lindsey, he actually is releases Nocturnes 2 in October so I look forward to reading them both. I really like his writing but feel I haven't read enough of his stuff.
