I’ve been really shit at staying committed to a list lately but that hasn’t lessened my enjoyment in making them. I also look forward to October every year because I love to read (and watch) nothing but horror all month long. Last year I did far better with watching than reading so I’m hoping for a little balance this year and won’t be committing to quite as much so that I might actually manage to feel some sense of accomplishment. Fingers crossed at least. Here’s what’s on my radar for the month:
Books
Christine by Stephen King | Next up in my goal of catching up on King’s massive backlist.
The Anomaly (The Anomaly Files #1) by Michael Rutger | I’ve been intrigued by this one since it was compared to Indiana Jones meets the X-Files.
Bunny by Mona Awad
Ghoster by Jason Arnopp | I’ve been anxious for something new from this author since his whirlwind novel The Last Days of Jack Sparks.
Kill Creek by Scott Thomas | The praise for this debut is coming up all over again now that Thomas’ sophomore novel is out.
Shows & Movies
The Exorcist | Nope, I’ve never actually seen it.
American Horror Story: 1984, Season 9 | I’m already a few episodes in and while it’s not my favorite season, it’s still fun.
The Ritual | This Netflix movie looks all sorts of creepy and it keeps getting recommended to me.
Bird Box | I was so excited about this but have yet to watch it.
Dark, Season 2 | I don’t think I’ve recommended a show more and I’d like to finally get around to Season 2.
Any creepy plans for the month?
I miss your posts, Bonnie, especially your reviews! I hope you get to Kill Creek, it was a lot of over the top fun. And yay for Ghoster, although the mixed reviews are making me a little sad…

Aww, thanks Tammy. I’m working really hard to get back there. I’m hoping to get some done this month. 🙂 And uh-oh… I haven’t seen the mixed reviews. Jack Sparks got kind of mixed reviews though too didn’t it? Here’s hoping we enjoy it. 🙂

Looking forward to seeing some of your reviews. I just read “Bunny” and am curious to see your thoughts. Actually, I want to see if there’s anyone else out there that doesn’t like it because I think I’m the minority with all my blogging pals. I’m enjoying AHS:1984. Also started watching Creepshow on Shudder and am excited about it.
Thanks, Barb! I’m hoping these turn into actual reviews too, instead of just lists upon lists. lol AHS:1984 is a bit cheeseball so far but it feels like it actually came out of the 80s which I think is pretty fantastic. I’ve heard such great things about Creepshow! I don’t have Shudder but maybe I’ll find a way to watch it someday.

I’m planning to read Ghoster too this month, and maybe the new Joe Hill if I get my hands on a copy. (Not usually a short story reader, but for him, I’ll make an exception!) Happy creepy October!

I’m not a big short story reader either but when they’re good, they’re good. And I’m really hoping his collection is good. 🙂
