Prompt 12: Features A Cat Chilling Adventures Of

Prompt 12: Features A Cat

Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina: Daughter Of Chaos by Sarah Rees Brennan

I loved The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina on Netflix so when these original novels came out I collected them all.

And also perfectly fits today’s prompt as Salem the short haired black cat with yellow-gold eyes is Sabrinas familiar.

Salem can communicate with his partner even if he is not uttering any understandable language. Salem can also hear/feel Sabrina when she is in distress or in trouble and squeeze himself into any hole or crack. Salem possess the ability to enhance his speed! What a cat!

So the big question is do we prefer silent Salem from The Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina or chatty Salem from Sabrina The Teenage Witch?

Prompt 2: In The Woods The Creeper Man by Dawn Ku

Prompt 2: In The Woods

The Creeper Man by Dawn Kurtagich

“There’s a man in the trees, a man with no eyes, but still he watches, that’s the surprise. Stay away from the woods, it couldn’t be clearer, but the trees are creeping nearer and nearer…

Beware The Creeper man”

Dawn Kurtagich writes absolutely brilliant sinister, psychological and creepy atmospheric horror that has made me sleep with the lights on many a time … but in a good way!

The Creeper Man, or as it’s known in other parts of the world And The Trees Crept In, is a perfect read for October and is so perfect for this prompt as the woods play a very prominent role!

If you love Stephen King and Kendare Blake you will love Dawn Kurtagich!

Have you read The Creeper Man? What are some of your favourite scary books that feature woods?

Prompt 26: Set On Halloween Halloween Night by R

Prompt 26: Set On Halloween

Halloween Night by R L Stine

This party is a killer….

I had to pick this classic Point Horror for this prompt! I mean the cover alone screams Halloween, house parties, revenge and murder!

Brenda and her friends are plotting a Halloween party with homemade terrifying Halloween costumes including a clown, a monk and the most terrifying of all ever Halloween costumes….a peacock! But then Brenda’a cousin Halley comes to stay and sets her sights on Brenda’s boyfriend Ted! And over a truck full of buns and a hard gear stick Ted falls for Halley and snogs her under Brenda’s bedroom window! This makes Brenda mad enough to plot revenge! Brenda means business….murder! But not any old murder! A Halloween Murder!

Other highlights include messages written in blood, rubbish love interests , a random chapter from another characters point of view and and finding out that a pumpkin coming alive in your nightmares would make a wet sucking sound 🤣

If you remember Point Horror I host a monthly book club over on @talespointhorrorbookclub … come and join us!

Prompt 8: Spiders Vicious Rumer by Joshua Winning

Prompt 8: Spiders

Vicious Rumer by Joshua Winning

So for this prompt I went with a spider in the cover 🕷 It’s no secret that @joshuawinning is one of my fave people EVER! He is basically amazing and everyone should follow him, listen to his wisdom and read his amazing words.

Vicious Rumer was published back in 2018 and is “A fresh and fiercely unique thriller”

The blurb -

“RUMER CROSS IS CURSED.

Scraping by working for a dingy London detective agency, she lives in the shadow of her mother, a violent criminal dubbed the ‘Witch Assassin’ whose bloodthirsty rampage terrorised London for over a decade.

Raised by foster families who never understood her and terrified she could one day turn into her mother, Rumer has become detached and self-reliant. But when she’s targeted by a vicious mobster who believes she’s hiding an occult relic, she’s drawn into the very world she’s been fighting to avoid.

Hunted by assassins and haunted by her mother’s dark legacy, Rumer must also confront a terrible truth: that she’s cursed, because no matter what she does, everybody she’s ever grown close to has died screaming…”

Also Look out for Josh’s brilliant The Shadow Glass out March 2022 … Dark Crystal meets About a Boy in a race against the clock to save the world in this nostalgia-infused adventure!

Tell me some of your fave books that feature spiders on the cover or in them 😱…..

Prompt 18: The Undead Wranglestone by Darren Cha

Prompt 18: The Undead

Wranglestone by Darren Charlton

This book has been in my TBR for far too long so I’m excited to read this soon!

LGBT Zombie YA …. I am ready!

Blurb

Winter was the only season every Lake-Lander feared…

In a post-apocalyptic America, a community survives in a national park, surrounded by water that keeps the Dead at bay. But when winter comes, there’s nothing to stop them from crossing the ice.

Then homebody Peter puts the camp in danger by naively allowing a stranger to come ashore and he’s forced to leave the community of Wranglestone. Now he must help rancher Cooper, the boy he’s always watched from afar, herd the Dead from their shores before the lake freezes over.

But as love blossoms, a dark discovery reveals the sanctuary’s secret past. One that forces the pair to question everything they’ve ever known.

Come and tell me some more books that feature The Undead 🧟‍♀️
