I have been squeezing in as much terror as I can this month. I have tried to stick to a schedule of scary movies and books with thrills and horror. Following is my list of monthly reads and views. What did you watch this month? Have any recommendations for my next October list? Halloween is my favorite Holiday....so let me know your thoughts!

6. Haunted Horror of Haverfordwest by G. L. Davies (expected publication December 2018)

     Based on a True Story. A young couple move into a new home in Wales in 1989. Soon the couple are tormented by entities.
     This also contains the story that took place when the author lived in this same house in Wales.


The first three books are quick reads that can be read in an hour or so. My favorite of these three was Hannah-Beast, but they are all worth reading. Oak Avenue is creepy but also strange. Something in the Woods is an interesting compilation of stories of people that have been victims of strange incidents in the woods. Little Darlings is a wonderful read!! You really need to add it to your wishlist. It is a twisted fairy tale for adult readers. I loved it!! Haunted Horror of Haverfordwest is a creepy real life haunting. You get to read through the history of the house with two sets of its occupants. It is a scary read and very interesting.

*I would like to thank NetGalley and the authors and publishers for allowing me to read advanced copies of Little Darlings and Haunted Horror of Haverfordwest. The opinions of these books are my own.
