It’s October! I’m very excited about the many great things this month has to offer: my 5th wedding anniversary, my birthday, Halloween, Practical Magic on TV, the Twin Cities Book Festival and my gothic horror/suspense/general creepy reads!
I’m not a fan of today’s torture porn horror movies. There’s nothing appealing to me in the terror that is someone being tortured. So that’s why I gravitate towards creepy rather than all-out-terrifying. (And probably why Practical Magic is one of my favorite things about October!)
As you know, I’m already reading Dracula by Bram Stoker. Up next will be Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier and We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson.
I have some fun Dracula- and literature-related Halloween posts planned. I hope you join me!
Do you enjoy extremely terrifying books or movies? What’s your favorite gothic horror, suspense or just plain creepy read?
Check out my review of Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, Frankenstein costume ideas and some scary books to read from last year.
