The Lottery | Shirley Jackson

#hallowreads #macabremonday

I think macabre is the perfect word for this classic short story.

Nebklvr This. Chilling.😳 7y

DarcysMom One of my all time favorites! 7y

mrp27 @Nebklvr It was definitely a chilling read! Love your profile pic, looks like a chocolate lab? I have a chocolate lab named Sadie. 7y

Nebklvr @mrp27 His name is Fate. He looks all choc lab but probably has something else mixed in. Found him as a wee wee one in a ditch one "cold and wintry night". How long did it take Sadie to stop chewing everything? 7y

mrp27 @Nebklvr Such a sweet name and sweet story of how you got him. Sadie will be 2 in January, I've had her since she was 8 weeks old and I'm very lucky that she is not a chewer. She loves her toys and she will chew for hours on those. 7y

Nebklvr @mrp27 Wow! Fate was 3 before he stopped chewing on everything...I was beginning to think it was a permanent condition. 😳 7y

Danse Macabre | Laurell K. Hamilton

One book has macabre right in the title and the other is a physical book I have yet to read, but I've been dying to.

Bellman & Black: A Novel | Diane Setterfield

Mysterious strangers and a Faustian bargain... #macabremonday #mysteriousmonday #hallowreads #spookyoctober #littensdressedinblood #screamathon @JoeStalksBeck @Tiffy_Reads @Jess7 @MidnightBookGirl @4thhouseontheleft

PurpleyPumpkin Have you read this? I'd be interested to read your review on this one. I loved Setterfield's first novel, but the reviews for this one weren't great. 7y

ferskner @PurpleyPumpkin I did read it and really enjoyed it, but I know I'm in the minority. I'm super interested in Victorian death practices though, and that's pretty much half of the book. It's definitely not as compelling as The Thirteenth Tale. 7y

PurpleyPumpkin Thanks for your feedback! Maybe I'll try to read it one day. 😉 7y

At the Water's Edge | Sara Gruen

For all those who can't even stand a small pencil note or dog-ear, here's your #macabremonday I started on my altered book art and mercilessly ripped about half the pages from this book! And I'm almost done gluing the rest together. Mwahahaha

I'm Thinking of Ending Things | Iain Reid

This book was THE WORST, I'm sorry to say. I bought it to maybe give one of my exchange matches (#halloweengoespostal #allhallowsreadbookexchange) but I hated it so much I couldn't pass it along in good conscience. 😂 It sort of does fit #macabremonday, spoilery details hidden in the comments. #hallowreads #ripxii #screamathon #littensdressedinblood

Natasha.C.Barnes That ending was disgusting, right? Super weird imo and the whole hanger thing was very macabre. (edited) 7y

Alfoster Good to know! It's on my TBR list but will take it off!😍 7y

JoeStalksBeck Lol oh goodness. I loved this one 7y

Natasha.C.Barnes @JoeStalksBeck Haha, sorry! I know some people really liked the ending and that redeemed the rest for them, but it wasn't my cup of tea exactly. And as for the first portion, I found it faux-deep, but I also have a lot of experience with faux-deep exes so perhaps it was just triggering. 😂 7y

Natasha.C.Barnes @Alfoster Some people liked it so I don't want to make your mind up for you, but if you look through my reviews and tend to agree with me, then perhaps yes, save your precious time! ❤️ 7y

Natasha.C.Barnes @JoeStalksBeck I always find that when I read a negative review of a book I loved I feel it as a kind of affront and in rereading my post here I find it extremely brusque, I hope you will forgive me! 😉 7y

JoeStalksBeck Lol no worries! We all don‘t like the same books ! ❤️📖 7y

emilyhaldi @JoeStalksBeck I loved this one too!!! It was one of those books that just snuck up on me and all of a sudden I was giving it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 7y

IamIamIam Oh man!! I'm glad I bought this with a credit from one of those class action lawsuits!!! 😂😂😂 7y

IamIamIam And this could easily be me talking about Pride & Prejudice so I know what it feels like to have an unpopular opinion!!! LOL 7y

Something Wicked This Way Comes | Ray Bradbury

For #macabremonday I'm starting one of these babies. Probably 'Salem's Lot, but I'd really like to reread Something Wicked this Way Comes, because nothing screams October to me like a Bradbury book. #hallowreads #screamathon

JazzFeathers Salem's Lot is one of the scariest King l've read 😨 7y

Celeste57 @JazzFeathers That's actually kind of exciting to hear. I'm looking forward to being scared! 7y

Forgotten Tales | Edgar Allan Poe

Anything Poe fits both #macabremonday and #mysteriousmonday . I have been a Poe fan since I was a kid and will grab anything Poe related I can find. This is a collection I've had for quite a number of years, representing a few of his lesser known stories. #hallowreads #spookyoctober

The Snowman: A Harry Hole Novel (7) | Jo Nesbo

I don't read a lot of horror or scary books (though like most everyone I did go through a Stephen King phase in high school.) I am considering reading the tagged book after seeing the movie trailer. #macabremonday #hallowreads @Tiffy_Reads @JoeStalksBeck
