So, 8 months since my last posts neglected blog. Anyway:
I'm participating the RIP Challenge over at Stainless Steel Droppings and will post reviews here, linking to Carl.
My books are:
The Fall by Guillermo del Torol, the second of The Strain series. Also watching the TV series. May need to read the first book again.
The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson. It's been awhile but it remains my go-to book when I need a genuinely frightening ghost story. I don't think this book has ever been topped for good old fashioned scares.
Zone One by Colson Whitehead. A Good, literate post-apocalyptic story.
Also: Watching The Strain and anticipating the return of The Walking Dead Season Five in October!
This is a fun challenge and I'm looking forward to reading the books, and getting scared silly watching the TV shows. I might throw in Rosemary's Baby in honor of the new TV series. I haven't seen it, but the description doesn't do anything for me. The original movie is a classic: how can you possibly improve on it? A new improved Ruth Gordon? No, sorry.
