Spine Tingling Reads!
It is a perfect time to spook things up a bit. I have quite a few chilling tales to share with you and hope you find something that will scare the wits out of you. Mmmmuuuaaaaahhhh! What does give you a good scare? I still enjoy Frankenstein, Dracula and of course werewolves. Rebecca York delivers both suspense and romance in her werewolf trilogy, Killing Moon, Edge of the Moon and Witching Moon. What about Vampires? Do you believe they are real? Vampires: The Occult Truth by Monstantinos will make you ask if they do exist. If you have the courage to read a book that may put to rest all myths and misconceptions, this is the one. Containing never before published case histories with vampires and their victims. Then again, Monsters are only figments of our imagination...hmm...perhaps this is so but people continue to encounter such beings and with vivid tales to tell. Give Monsters a ready, by John Michael Greer that uncovers ghost stories, werewolf legends, dragons, tips on investigating a monster sighting and more to make a believer out of you. Still not scared? Well then take a look at the Chupacabra. I remember first reading about it while standing in the check out line at the grocery store. They often times have little booklets by the gum and candy. 'Awful Horror Stories', it was not a great pick. However, bored from waiting in line I began leafing through the pages. That particular story did cause goose bumps and many people believe the creature to be real.
I hope you do find something that will fill your October with fright. Have a fun and safe Halloween/Samhain and check out Halloween Spells, Recipes and Customs by Silver Ravenwolf, filled with activities and ways to celebrate the season.
