Happy Halloween-Eve, everyone! Today my husband, boys & I are headed to the pumpkin patch (well, more like a Pumpkin Palooza complete with a gigantic slide built into the side of a hill) to pick out our pumpkin, just in time for Halloween tomorrow! The boys are thrilled; we’ve been going to this pumpkin patch for about 10 years. Oh, the memories.
We’re coming to the end of October. Yesterday, we were startled to find a dusting of snow on the ground yesterday. The Northeast was hit with some pretty tremendous snow totals so we’re lucky to have missed the most of it. Still, it snowed all day yesterday so running errands was a bit challenging. I love snow, but not this early!
The end of October also brings an end to Murder, Monsters & Mayhem. I’ve had a wonderful time this month, and I hope you have too. This past week, I thought it appropriate to review one of the horror books that sparked my interest in the genre. Here’s a snapshot of what took place last week:
- The Exorcist: 40th Anniversary Edition by William Peter Blatty
- Anya’s Ghost by Vera Brosgol
- Mx3 Guest Post: Alan Orloff and The Idea That Wouldn’t Die
- The Night Eternal by Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan
- Guest Interview: Five Minutes with John Connolly
- Dead of Night by Jonathan Maberry
Finally, it’s time to pick the last, and final weekly giveaway winner. To be eligible for this giveaway, you must link up a horror, suspense, thriller, mystery, etc. in the #Mx3 Mr. Linky.
This week’s winner will win:
- an ARC of the 40th Anniversary edition of THE EXORCIST!
- an ARC of Jonathan Mayberry’s DEAD OF NIGHT
I may sneak in some more goodies as well. We’ll see! So, without further ado, this week’s winner is…..

Happy Halloween, everyone! Be sure to check in tomorrow; I’ll be hosting a pretty spooktacular giveaway to celebrate Halloween and conclusion of #Mx3!
