My Hallowreadathon 4 TBR!

It’s getting close to the Hallowreadathon and I’m getting excited! I prefer Halloween to any other holiday. I love the atmosphere with kids out trick-or-treating and carved pumpkins flickering while I stay in, curled up on the couch with a bowl of candy, a steaming cup of tea and a good spooky book. I’ve got a few choices for each Hallowreadathon challenge so if you’re looking for inspiration, look no further…

My immediate thought on this one was my beautiful copy of Carrie by Stephen King that I haven’t read since my teens. But red is a popular colour on my book covers so I tried to pick some other spooks…
I love cosy crime, but I’ve never read an Agatha Christie book. Terrible. So I might pick up The Man in the Brown Suit by Agatha Christie, it’s a standalone thriller but introduces Colonel Race who features in some of her other books.

Poison City by Paul Crilley has splatters of red and I’ve been meaning to read this since summer, it’s an urban fantasy type of book that I normally fly though so a good pick!
One book that my dad recommended that I shouldn’t read because it freaked him out, was The Collector by John Fowles. So obviously I have to read it, right? Reading about a woman kidnapped is true horror.
Since reading Jane Eyre in September, I’ve been eying up Jane Steele by Lyndsay Faye*. A homicidal retelling that’s a little on the long side for a readathon (418 pages) but looks so good!

3. Read two books!

I always like to throw up a couple shorter options because I know two books in two days is a real challenge.

Starting with my last mention of Stephen King; American Vampire, written by Scott Snyder and Stephen King and drawn by Rafael Albuquerque. I’ve read this before but it’s been a while and it’s really great. A super fun 1920s vampire read with red on the cover. 
I mentioned in my post about Teen Creeps, a podcast I adore about YA pulp that I wanted to read one of those types of books! The only one I have is The New Year’s Party by R.L. Stein, which might be better saved for New Years, but it has red on the cover.
Wailing Ghosts by Pu Songling is one of the Penguin Little Black Classics so it’s around 60 pages, and ‘ghosts’ is right there in the title. Perfect for if you’re cramming your second read in right at the end.
