Ok, one more because I'd been planning on finally participating in this one this year.
Here I throw in my coin for the fourth annual R.I.P. Challenge: creepy, scary, gothic, supernatural is the theme from now until HalloweEeEeeEEeeen! I'm gonna go for 4 books because that's how many I found on my TBR pile.
- The Graveyard Book / Neil Gaiman
- Kwaidan : Stories and Studies of Strange Things / Lafcadio Hearn
- The Turn of the Screw / Henry James
- Murders in the Rue Morgue and Other Stories / Edgar Allen Poe
And if for some reason I actually get through all that with time to spare, I've got this neat illustrated copy of Dracula I might work through. I tried reading an unillustrated edition about 5 years ago and got like 40 pages from the end and stopped for some reason.
So that's it! Have a spooktacular time making horror-ble Halloween puns, fellow undertakers (of the challenge)!

What coin? I don't see any coin? Is it enough for me to buy some more books?!?!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are joining in with us. Wonderful choices. Thanks for being a part of the challenge this year.
Great you chose a POE!
ReplyDeleteI have a short story collection of his stories. I might read that!
Here is my RIP IV read list
Carl -- Yeah "throwing in a coin" isn't really a phrase, is it? I dunno why I thought it was. But we'll pretend it's a Sacajawea dollar so you can get something at a sidewalk sale.
ReplyDeleteGautami T. -- Yeah somehow even though he's so culturally prominent, I've barely read him... like a couple poems in high school.
