My stumble on Stainless Steel Droppings brought me my first book challenge. I love gothic stuff and feel a guilty magnet toward the macabre. So, a challenge to immerse myself in the dark side was too irresistible to declare my usual, “Oh, maybe next time.”
I accept Peril the First as my challenge from September ’til Halloween and to this I commit the following novels:
1. The Historian —- Elizabeth Kostkova (2006) ![]()
2. The Glass Books of the Dream Eaters —- Gordon Dahlquist (2006)
3. The 5th Witch —- Graham Masterton (May 2008)![]()
4. The Ghost of Flight 401 —— John G. Fuller (1976) ![]()
5. Merrick ———- Anne Rice (2000) ![]()
I think these are lot of scary reads to indulge in, in just two months — a lot for someone whose choice of reading depends upon the mood at the moment. For me, picking up a certain genre contrary to my reading mood is difficult in itself. But then, that’s why it is a challenge! : )

Oh my goodness, Jo! Are you sure? The Historian and The Glass Books of the Dream Eaters are doorstops! Anyway, good luck on this challenge! I do hope you get to write about the books you’ve read soon.

LOL!
You bet! But these are what I have on hand. Will try but if failure seems imminent, I’ll edit my list. Hee, hee, hee! Besides, the challenge calls for only 4 books.
