My Horror Challenge

I cut my teen-aged teeth on horror books by authors like Stephen King, Anne Rice, John Saul, Robin Cook, etc. But I haven’t read many horror novels in the past few decades, though I still watch horror movies. I want to change that in 2017.

I’m participating in the 2017 Horror Reading Challenge posted by scifiandscary blog here.

My goal for 2017 is to hit this level:
