  • “Scary Stories 3: More Tales to Chill your Bones” by Alvin Schwartz

    I’ve finished the last in this series. These stories were everything I remembered from when I read them back in the 7th grade. They brought back a lot of memories from my childhood. They’re perfect for kids who aren’t scared easily and want to read some scary stories. “Perfect for reading alone or aloud in…

  • “More Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark” by Alvin Schwartz

    I’ve finished the next book in the Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark series. I had originally read these books back in the 7th grade. I remember checking them out from the library in school. Good book for readers ages 8 to 12 if the child doesn’t scare easily. “Guaranteed to make your teeth…

  • “Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark” by Alvin Schwartz

    I read this book back in 7th grade (if memory serves me right). I wanted to re-read this book after they made a movie based on this book and it was released back in August. The book was just as I remember it. This book is good for younger audiences who enjoy a good scare…

  • “The Monster of Elendhaven” by Jennifer Giesbrecht

    I’ve finished another novel recently. I enjoyed this book and this is good for any horror fan who wants a quick read around Halloween time. I can’t say what I really want to say here without ruining the ending. I’m just going to suggest you go read it and you can comment on this article…

  • “The Haunted” by Bentley Little

    Okay, my first book of the year. This book is one of those haunted house type stories but it’s a little different than the haunted house stories I’ve read before. I’m kind of on the fence about this one. There were things I liked about this novel and other things I didn’t like. It’s hard…

  • “Enter the Dark House” (part 2) by Laurie Faria Stolarz

    I’ve finished the second part of this novel, “Return to the Dark House” last night. There’s so much I want to say about this but I can’t do it without revealing spoilers and ruining the whole thing before you get a chance to read it yourself. I did enjoy the second book as well as…

  • “Enter the Dark House” (part 1) by Laurie Faria Stolarz

    I finished the first part of this novel, “Welcome to the Dark House”. This was one of those novels that kept you wondering if things were real or not real, at least in the beginning. I think that’s part of the suspense that builds throughout the book until you get to the conclusion at the…

  • “Ghost Story” by Peter Straub

    I finished reading this book last night and wanted to share it here. I had several people recommend this to me or tell me this would be a really good horror novel to read…..they were not wrong. There may be times where it seems like the are straying off the main story but they are…

  • “Pet Sematary” by Stephen King

    I finished reading this on my Kindle this morning and I thought I’d share it here. This book looked interesting from the synopsis so I thought I’d give it a shot. I thought it was good, especially the way it ended. The book kept a good pace throughout and kept me turning the pages because…

  • “The Mansion” by Ezekiel Boone

    Finished another novel and I wanted to share it with you as well. This books was a creepy read but it was good. It’s hard to explain without giving too much away and spoiling the book for someone else who wishes to read it. It’s kind of a cross between reading a haunted house story…
