RIP VIII

So it’s September tomorrow and that means the start of one of my favourite blogging event’s, Carl’s RIP VIII and the opportunity to read scary and thrilling stuff along with lots of other members of the book blogging community.

As is traditional I have pulled together a book list out of which I hope to be able to meet Peril the Second, where I need to read four books that fit the description of perilous. I’d love to be able to read them all, but we’ll see how that goes.

My list is (in no particular order):

• London Falling by Paul Cornell
• NOS4R2 by Joe Hill
• Horowitz Horror by Anthony Horowitz
• Bryant & May and the Memory of Blood by Christopher Fowler
• The Night Eternal by Guillermo del Toro & Chuck Hogan
• Nocturnes by John Connolly
• Through Dead Eyes by Chris Priestley
• Mayhem by Sarah Pinborough
• Drood by Dan Simmons
• The Accursed by Joyce Carol Oates

A pretty good selection I think, and I’m looking forward to all of them.

I may also take part in Peril on the Screen but no real plans on what that might involve, though it is really about time I re-watched one of my Desert Island Films, Son of Frankenstein with *sigh* Basil Rathbone.
