It’s a chill, rainy day here and I’ve got a pumpkin scented candle burning and a cup of coffee beside me, so it seems like a perfect time to do a creepy Halloween tag.

Rules:
- Answer all prompts.
- Answer honestly.

- Have fun!
1. WITCH — a magical character or book
I loved Cemetery Boys and its trans protagonist, Yadriel. Magical all around.
2. WEREWOLF — the perfect book to read at night
Very creepy gothic horror best read in a creepy old house at night.
3. FRANKENSTEIN — a book that truly shocked you
Why are creepy children so *shivers* creepy?
4. THE DEVIL — a dark, evil character
Racist old white men. The truly evil characters of 2020.
5. GRIM REAPER — a character that never should have died
Pretty much all the deaths and the idea of a person doling out death is uncomfortable.
6. ZOMBIE — a book that made you “hungry” for more
One of the most gorgeous zombie books I’ve ever read.
7. GARGOYLE — a character that you would protect at all cost
Just like all the girls in this book pretty much.
8. VAMPIRE — a book that sucked the life out of you
While I enjoyed the True Blood TV show, the books left something to be desired.
9. GHOST — a book that still haunts you
Spooky, atmospheric, lingering…
10. DEMON — a book that really scared you
Giant creepy dolls? Sounds terrifying, thanks.
11. SKELETON — a character you have a bone to pick with
Harrowhark is kind of evil in this book. But also, I love her. More lesbians in space, please.
12. MUMMY — a book you would preserve throughout time
This creepy book lingered with me a long time after.
13. CREEPY DOLL — a cover too scary to look at
Such a simple cover, but you can just imagine someone cracking their teeth on that lollipop. And when you consider the book is about an evil little kid…
I’m not tagging anyone but please do this if you want to and tag me in it so I can see your responses! x
Have you read any of these books or do you plan on reading them? Have you done this tag? Leave me a message below!
Until next time,

I’m putting some of these down on my TBR list. I’d move it forward, but haven’t read books with all these characters. I like the challenge, so might have to do that.

I love the images you picked to go next to the book covers. They all go so well together. I did end up adding The Little Stranger to my TBR because I do want to get into reading more gothic books.

Oh, I love Sarah Waters! I hope you like it! They also made a movie out of The Little Stranger recently you might want to check out after you read the book 🙂
