Opinions of a Wolf

Hello my lovely readers!  Many book bloggers are already familiar with Carl of Stainless Steel Droppings’ RIP Challenge.  For those who aren’t familiar, it’s a reading challenge, covering the months of September and October, during which you read delightfully creepy / horror books to go along with the feelings of fall.  The books can be in any of the following genres:

Mystery.
Suspense.
Thriller.
Dark Fantasy.
Gothic.
Horror.
Supernatural.
Or anything sufficiently moody that shares a kinship with the above.

There are multiple different ways to participate, including reading short stories and watching movies, plus there’s now a readalong you can participate in.  I’ve participated twice before purely in the book reading portion of the challenge, and that’s what I’m going to be doing again.  I’ll be doing Peril the First, for which you read four books that broadly fit in any of the categories above.

Books I already own that I could select for the challenge are listed below.  I’d love to hear from you in the comments if there’s one you’d particularly like to recommend to me from my list!

• A Banquet for Hungry Ghosts by Ying Chang Compestine
• Barely Breathing by Michael J. Kolinski
• Beverly Hills Demon Slayer by Angie Fox
• Brains: A Zombie Memoir by Robin Becker
• Breed by Chase Novak
• Cycle of the Werewolf by Stephen King
• Deadtown by Nancy Holzner
• Disclosure by Michael Crichton
• From a Buick 8 by Stephen King
• I’ll Sleep When You’re Dead by E. A. Aymar
• The Keep by Paul F. Wilson
• The Kitchen Witch by Annette Blair
• Nightmare Fuel: Volume 1 by Bliss Morgan
• The Shimmer by David Morrell
• Smokin’ Six Shooter by B. J. Daniels
• A Spell of Winter by Helen Dunmore
• State of Decay by James Knapp
• Still Missing by Chevy Stevens
• The Strain by Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan
• Tales of the Chtulhu Mythos by H. P. Lovecraft
• Unshapely Things by Mark Del Franco
• The Veiled Mirror: The Story of Prince Vlad Dracula’s Lost Love by Christine Frost
• The Walking Dead, Volume 16 by Robert Kirkman
• Wanted Woman by B. J. Daniels

I think I should be able to find four books from a list that large, don’t you?

PS If anyone is doing the short story challenge, I have two short stories published that fit within the parameters (and are free!).  Also, my published novel fits into the challenge too.  Check them all out on my publications page.
