First stop is the R.eaders I.mbiding P.eril IV [R.I.P IV for short] hosted by none other but my dear and oh-so-sophisticated blogger buddy Carl V. over at “Stainless Steel Droppings”. This reading challenge starts September the 1st and ends October the 31st and invites participants to relish into the twisted world of dark tales. Genres acceptable are gothic literature, paranormal, horror, mystery, dark fantasy, suspense and thriller. A blend of these is even more welcome. As usual Carl has set out his challenges disguised as perils and among the four I have taken up the most ambitious perils of them all:
Read Four books of any length, from any subgenre of scary stories that you choose.
I think it’s going to be easy, since my reading consists of dark stories, because those are the ones that make me tick. I seem to have something for doom, gloom and the dark. Here is what my reading list will look like for the upcoming two months:
“Scar Night” by Alan Campbell
“Necropolis” by Tim Waggoner
“Book of Secrets” by Chris Roberson
“Raven Wakes the World” by John Adcox
“There was a Crooked Man” by Edward Morris
“Frankenstein” by Mary Shelley
“24 Bones” by Michael F. Stewart
Reading the fun bits about being in this challenge I came across another one, which made my heart scream with joy. I am speaking about Zombie Week, which starts August 29th and ends on September 5th and promises a lot of fun with reviews, guest posts and giveaways. All, naturally, dedicated to our undead flesh-eating scourge of the apocalypse: the zombies. I have made out a whole program dedicated to the zombies. If all goes well, this is what you will be reading for the next few days alongside regular posts.

It is great to have you joining in Harry! I'm excited you're going to be a part of it. Thanks!
And thanks for the kind words. I really appreciate it.
Don't forget to sign up in the Mr. Linky part at the end of my post so that other participants can see your name and blog link to this post.
FRANKENSTEIN is such a good choice. I've heard so many people talking about it lately that I think I may need to reread it myself.
Carl: Yes, I will get down to the Mr. Linky pretty soon. I am just trying to get everything done and this sudden burst of energy does not agree with me. :)
Memory: I never managed to read this one, so I wish to remedy the loss in my fundamentals' classics reading.
