Of course the theme for the month we have Halloween is scary and spooky, therefore my books list for this month is:
Ghosts by Noel Hynd
Ruined by Paula Morris
The Remains by Vincent Zandri
How about you? What scarey books do you plan to read….please share.
The Killing Room by John Manning
20th Century Ghosts by Joe Hill
The Killing Room – I got this book based on comments made on the Kindle Facebook wall – Through most of this book I couldn’t put it down, it held mysery and horror – then it stretched out a little longer than necessary (in my opinion). I did enjoy it overall though.

The Remains - I thought this was going to be in the horror category (as in ghosts), which is why I added it to this months read. Instead it was a mystery (no ghosts involved) – I did enjoy reading this creepy mystery. It kept my interest as the events took place and the story was revealed.
Ruined – Missed again – I thought this book was going to be scary; it did include ghosts but I wouldn’t say it was scary. I would put this in the category as a good teen book. With that said I did enjoy it and it held mystery and included a lot of New Orleans history – which I enjoyed and learned from.
20th Century Ghost - This is a collection of short stories. I’m afraid most of the stories fall into the category of “I didn’t like”, but there were a couple stories in the “Ok” category. This is just my opinion, obviously there are others who enjoyed it very much. There were a couple stories that just stopped, I wouldn’t say they ended. Some of the stories were just weird, not exactly interesting (to me), just weird – like the teenager who turns into a bug and eats …..(don’t want to give away the ending to that one). On a positive note the story that was the better one was the last story Voluntary Committal. With a little tweaking I could see this as a Twilight Zone show.
