R.eaders I.mbibing P.eril X!

R.eaders I.mbibing P.eril is here!!  As we all know, fall is my favorite time of the year. Halloween (and all things spooky) is just around the corner!  I love any excuse to satiate my hunger for thriller and horror!  This year’s RIP event will be hosted by Andi and Heather, of the Estella Society.  I have no doubt in my mind they will do an outstanding job!!

For those unfamiliar, R.I.P. is an annual challenge (celebrating it’s 10th year!) in which we embrace the following genres:

Mystery.
Suspense.
Thriller.
Dark Fantasy.
Gothic.
Horror.
Supernatural.

Or anything sufficiently moody that shares a kinship with the above. R.I.P. X officially runs from September 1st through October 31st. 

It is my plan to participate in two “perils.” Honestly, with my own Halloween blog celebration right around the corner, this should be a piece of cake!

Here are the books I have tentatively lined up for this peril. In case you can’t see them in the picture, the titles are:

• Illuminae by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff
• In the Shadow of Edgar Allan Poe: Classic Tales of Horror by Leslie S. Klinger
• The Witches: Salem, 1692 by Stacy Schiff
• The Appearance of Annie van Sinderen by Katherine Howe
• Dawn of the Dead by George A. Romero
• Welcome to Night Vale by Joseph Fink and Jeffrey Cranor
• The Killing Kind by Chris Holm
• Chapelwood by Cherie Priest
• Night Music by John Connolly
• We’ll Never Be Apart by Emiko Jean
• Everything She Forgot by Lisa Ballantyne
• Art in the Blood: A Sherlock Holmes Adventure by Bonnie MacBird
• Last Ragged Breath by Julia Keller

Next peril:

Who doesn’t love a good horror movie?  I’m still working on this list, but here’s what I have so far:

• Paranormal Activity (2-? How many are there now!?)
• V/H/S
• With the passing of Wes Craven, I feel the need to do a marathon of sorts.

Check back to see my progress!
