*The Seventh Seal by J. Thorn is NO LONGER available in ebook form, you can find a paperback copy on Amazon for $31.99*

The characters are believable, the situation hits a bit close to home right now for a lot of us here in the US which adds to the whole ambience of the story.

*Terrifier 2 by Tim Waggoner is NOT on KU; but you can grab a Kindle copy for $10.99*

In these pages you really get inside Art's head and see things from his POV which helps immensely and gives me a new light to his role in the movies.

*A Nightmare on Elm Street: Celestial Slumber by Joshua LaRue is available on KU*

This is one of the better fanfic novels I've come across. It definitely needs an editor though.
The ending is quite interesting and I do hope there will be sequel.

I love introducing the spawns to the cartoons and shows I used to watch when I was a kid. Since they found my Tales from the Cryptkeeper series I figured today I would torture them with that

Apparently Chris and Kate made It Came From The Pumpkin Patch FREE on Amazon for the Kindle edition and I missed the memo somewhere. You might want to grab it before they decide to change it back. It's a great book for Spooky Month 🎃

I am absolutely enthralled by this classic being told with zombies! It's so much better than the movie, which I've loved since it release.

*Dawn of the Dreadfuls by Steve Hockensmith is NOT available on KU*

It's such a fun read. It definitely lives up to the Quirky Classic brand. I really like how attached I was able to get to the Bennett sisters, and even their father.

"A Halloween Story: The Complete Collection by Matt Micheli is available on KU*

I like ones like this where everything connects in some small way to paint a large collage of a single night told from many angles.

*At the time of this posting, Meat by Bones Monroe is FREE on Amazon*

It was has an old Monsters, Tales from the Crypt, or Tales from the Darkside episode vibe that I'm always here for. So if you like short horrors that make you think, grab a copy of this one.

Because instead of asking they assume it's a mental disorder. Millions of people have an inner monologue running in their heads 24/7 which is literally normal for humans, children have imaginary friends which again is normal. But they'll have you think everyone is crazy instead.

This book absolutely put me in mind of parody classics such as The Princess Bride, Robin Hood: Men in Tights, Monty Python, and every other movie of that ilk.
