𝐌𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐅𝐨𝐫 – PHIRANAS!

Christina and Terri have been living dangerously and visiting…… Florida! Other than putting people off visiting Florida for life (I joke) the two girls decide their next destination is Tampa as they just cannot deal with everyone in Florida driving 15mph! This is when they decide to pick up a Hitchhiker called James who shows them how to work the a/c in their car! They travel along and soon realise they are being followed….but by who! And with reports of an elderly man being killed by a hitchhiker suspicions soon fall on the bad tempered James.

Other highlights include one of the best Point Horror endings EVER! A bit more violence and guns than our average point horror some of it a little disturbing.... but awesome! Lessons in how to flirt with your hair, driving skills and how to be a great beat friend!

This was a wild ride and we loved every minute of it!

You can catch up on the live chat for The Hitchhiker on my feed, under the video tab feds or the video is available via my website on You Tube 🖤

Or scroll back n the feed to see a super fun reel that Cameron and I did 😂

Have you read The Hitckhiker? What did you think?

Honorary member of #talespointhorrorbookclub Kat Ellis delivered all the creepy vibes with this spooky book!

”It’s this place, this town where time doesn’t move forward like it’s supposed to. Where stories get stuck in your head like a tooth burrowed deep in your flesh. I feel like Harrow Lake is working its way inside me”

After an accident with Lola’s Father she is sent to live with her estranged Grandmother in Harrow Lake which is famous for a film directed by her Father. The Nightjar which starred Lola’s mother, who went missing years before, has a cult following and is celebrated in the town every year. Something is off in Harrow Lake. Why is there a teeth tree? What are all these jitter bugs? And who or what is Mr Jitters? 😱

I love Kat’s books and writing so much! An absolute fave! If you’ve not checked this book out I highly recommend!

💛 Creepy Small Town Setting
💛 Atmospheric
💛 Claustrophobic
💛 Unsettling
💛 Mystery
💛 Creepy Woods
💛 Psychological Horror
💛 Spine Tingling
💛 Creepy Mister Jitters
💛 80s/90s Horror Feel

Point Horror for the modern age!

I reached out to the phenomenal Caroline B Cooney

I reached out to the phenomenal Caroline B Cooney and I was lucky enough to get a reply!

I asked if Caroline had a memory they she would be happy to share with the #talespointhorrorbookclub and Caroline shared this with us ♥️

“That series was an assignment from Scholastic - they wanted “entry level” horror with no supernatural aspects and no bad parents and no overt violence. Although it is set in Maine, I happened to be living in London when I wrote the series. My kids were at the American School and we lived in Swiss Cottage. I wrote in the mornings and explored London in the afternoon. It was a wonderful year. Once when my mother visited, she was out seeing London and came upon quite an array of policemen. She asked what was going on and they said that Princess Diana would be arriving at this address later on. So my mother stood there for hours and sure enough, Princess Diana arrived and said hello to my mother, who took a beautiful photograph which she cherished. As do I!

I retired from writing a few years ago and it’s lovely to know that readers are still enjoying those old titles.”

I love how Caroline kind of broken the rules a little for this series but I feel like this is so reflective in all of her writing … doing things different and in her own way 🥰

A huge thank you to Caroline for being so happy share this precious memory with us ♥️

I recently posted a same cover different edition for The Fog and a couple of people asked me if the same artist did all three books in these cover designs from the 90s…. I checked and it’s a yes!

The cover art of these 1991 UK editions was by the amazing Paul Finn and I think he knocked it out of the park with these amazing interpretations of Christina as she endures the mysterious island and The Shevvingtons.

I love seeing the trilogy lined up together and we definitely will be covering the rest of the trilogy at some point for the #talespointhorrorbookclub 🖤

Same Book, Different Edition …..

The Fog was never published under the Point Horror banner here in the U.K. but in 1991 we got an edition under the “Teens” banner. This featured Christina and her long blonde hair, the creepy Shevvington House on the hill and of course some misty fog!

I always loved the US Point editions for their pulpy vibes but there is something that really draws you into this cover art almost like a gothic novel 🖤

Are you a fan of this cover?

This months #TalesPointHorrorBookClub we are readi

This months #TalesPointHorrorBookClub we are reading The Fog by Caroline B Cooney so I thought I would shine some love on Caroline’s UK released Point Horrors!

Caroline B. Cooney is the author of more than 90 suspense, mystery, and romance novels for teenagers, which have sold over 15,000,000 copies and are published in several languages

Her books have won many state library awards and are on many booklists, such as the New York Public Library’s annual teen picks. Caroline grew up in Old Greenwich, Connecticut, and spent most of her life on the shoreline of that state but is now in South Carolina near her family. She has three children and four grandchildren. She was a church organist for many years, accompanied the choirs at her children’s schools, and now plays keyboard for musicals

Under the Point Horror U.K. Banner we got 8 Caroline B Cooney titles including The Vampires Promise series.

I have to admit as a teen I didn’t appreciate Caroline B Cooney as much as I do now when reading. Back then I was all about the stalkers and the shocking reveals but Caroline’s writing, which now I’m older I can appreciate more, is atmospheric and creative and I admire on how she broke the mold a little and did things different for 90s YA Thrillers 🖤

Have you read any Caroline B Cooney ? Do you have a favourite?

Bolt Your Doors. Lock Your Windows. There’s Something in The Fog!

It’s time to visit John Carpenter’s tale of vengeance beyond the grave...The Fog (1980)

Folks get ready to celebrate the centenary of Antonio Bay. But, many had suffered due to crimes that founded this town. Now, they rise from the sea, under the cover of the fog, to claim retribution.

Confession time …. I’ve never seen this film 😱 And I don’t know why as I love Jamie Lee Curtis so I’m super excited!

Join us on @talespointhorrorbookclub Live with me, @chelleytoy , @joshuawinning @emmap_storyteller and the awesome @gracemarian will be chatting with us too! 🖤

And this month the absolutely awesome @gradyhendrix is back as our very special guest you chat all things the first book in the Losing Christina Trilogy, The Fog by Caroline B Cooney.

New York Times bestselling author Grady Hendrix makes up lies and sells them to people. His novels include HORRORSTÖR about a haunted IKEA, MY BEST FRIEND’S EXORCISM, which is basically “Beaches” meets “The Exorcist”, WE SOLD OUR SOULS, a heavy metal horror epic, THE SOUTHERN BOOK CLUB’S GUIDE TO SLAYING VAMPIRES, THE FINAL GIRL SUPPORT GROUP, HOW TO SELL A HAUNTED HOUSE and upcoming WITCHCRAFT FOR WAYWARD GIRLS.

He’s also the author of PAPERBACKS FROM HELL, an award-winning history of the horror paperback boom of the Seventies and Eighties. He wrote the screenplay for, MOHAWK, a horror flick about the War of 1812, and SATANIC PANIC about a pizza delivery woman fighting rich Satanists.

You can discover more ridiculous facts about him at www.gradyhendrix.com.

I’m excited to hear Grady’s thoughts on The Fog as I remember him bringing the book up during our Homecoming Queen chat back in 2022!

When the Autumn fog rolls over the coast, Christian and Anya begin boarding at the Shevvington’s home, where Christina discovers that nothing is as it seems. Anya is slowly losing her mind, and Christina knows the Shevvingtons are behind it. But who will take her word against that of the Shevvingtons?

This is book one in the LOSING CHRISTINA series.l

📚 The Baby-Sitter by R L Stine Published in UK

📚
The Baby-Sitter by R L Stine

Published in UK 1991

Tagline - Every step she takes, he’ll be watching.

Memorable For – Wondering why Jenny continues to babysit and an awful love interest that will make you 🤢

Some Thoughts -

The Babysitter is the first book in the Babysitter series, and the 3rd book R.L Stine wrote for the Point Horror series.

Jenny Jeffers is new to the area and gets recruited at the mall to babysit a six year old twice a week, Thursdays and Saturdays in a strange house and in a strange neigbourhood!

Because she needed the money for Christmas she agrees! But don’t worry with the help of Mr Hagens “rules” and Jenny’s wild imagination they have it totally covered.

Opppppssss did I mention the creepy heavy breathing phonecalls, eerie dark shadows and the folded up theatening notes that make the rules hard to follow!

Company’s coming Babes!

Other highlights include police who tell you to take down another number, a point horror girl with a very over active imagination, a 6 year old obsessed with horror films and hide and seek, a creepy old house and yucky Chuck the love interest who does questionable things with bananas 🤢

And even after everything that happens in this book Jenny still continues to babysit 😂😂

Have you read The Babysitter by R L Stine? What did you think?
