Welcome to Litsy!

Hello, again, #ScreamTeam! Here's another challenge for you to keep in mind as you're putting together your #HauntedShelf TBR.

If you read any of the three Team Lead Favorites/Favourites, you can stack an additional 15 points each on top of any other points you've earned for reading that book!

It will quickly become apparent that my spooky story love language is “haunted houses,“ and my choices reflect this. :-)

You win the lottery and you are RICH beyond your wildest dreams! So what do you do?……..you kidnap an Art student that you have become obsessed with!
This book was creepy and I loved the way it switched perspectives. Very original. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Here's a classic I recommend during this spooky season.

There are 2 malevolent Jasons in this book #ThatsComicsBaby

‘The Heart‘s Desire Always Comes With A Price.‘

Finished in January for #FairytaleReadingChallenge 2024 #Rumpelstiltskin

‘As the seasons change, it‘s clear that something is terribly wrong. The creatures are real, and they‘re offering to fulfill the residents‘ deepest desires in return for just a small favor.‘

I always love Craig‘s books. This was a good story with great writing and detail.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

#Read2025

I read this book about a month ago and am just catching up on reviews now. I had noted it as a three star but… now I can‘t remember a single story in this collection. The stories are horror-tinged and dark is all I recall but nothing else made enough of an impact to linger. I guess that says everything.

I can‘t believe how long this one has been sitting in my TBR! This father/son collaboration certainly feels smooth— though, other than the departure from a ME setting (we are in small town Appalachia instead)— I don‘t think this feels out of Stephen King‘s usual books. A sudden “Aurora event” sends women into strange cocoons upon falling asleep, sending the world into chaos. Focusing on a small town & women‘s prison, the battle for survival plays.

I enjoyed the first few hours of the book, but the rest felt pointless, repetitive, and hollow. There's some good messaging, there's an attempt at discussing mental illness, etc, as well as good LGBTQ+ rep, but it wasn't enough to keep me engaged with the novel. I found the writing good for a while, until it just started to be overdramatic and attempting to build atmosphere by throwing words around that didn't end up meaning anything.
