Summer of Horror - "We Are the Thing That Others Fear"

 

I am participating in an informal event created by my friend Tammy over at Books, Bones & Buffy and she is doing a book cover love feature. I am so sad that the Summer of Horror is ending.  Of course, I start spooky season reading in September so you will still see some horror here at Booker T's Farm.  Today I am sharing some awesome covers for one of favorite horror creatures - vampires!  I am splitting them into ones I have already read and then ones I have on my TBR.

First up, the ones I've read:

Here are four I read last year.  I really loved all of them except Night Wing, which was a buddy read, and not as good as I wanted it to be. I recommend Suffer the Children to everyone now.

I've read Salem's Lot twice and really enjoyed it although it isn't my favorite King.  Dark Roots is the first in a series I really need to get back to and Until Summer Comes Around has complete Lost Boys vibes.

I had to add Bunnicula because it was one of my first vampire books and I love it to this day.  In the Valley of the Sun has a different edition with an awesome cover but I didn't feature it because this book did not work for me.

Books on my TBR:

Mr. Barb bought me a copy of Carmilla two Christmas' ago and I still haven't picked it up.

I am pretty sure I first saw Vampire Junction on Tammy's blog, and I can't believe I haven't read The Buffalo Hunter Hunter yet, and I even own two copies and an arc

I'm really hate seeing Tammy's special feature end.  I'm so glad I was able to participate some and can't wait for Summer of Horror 2026!
