I Call Upon Thee: A Novella | 
#tuesdaytidbits
⚡️ I can‘t decide on the scariest but the tagged book definitely got to me.
⚡️Salo is definitely one... Cannibal Holocaust was traumatic 🐢 (Martyrs also but I recommend it)
⚡️Um.. top 2: I was once in a snowmobile accident and hit a tree headfirst/ My house was broken into when I was home alone.

I don‘t think I‘ll fit in another book, so here‘s what I read in February.
I listened to Tiffany Haddish‘s memoir, Burnt Offerings, and I Call Upon Thee (so creepy).
I loved everything I read - it was a great reading month! 😄
Kristi Demeester‘s book took me the longest to read. It‘s very good; she writes beautifully. But her stuff is super dark and heavy. Even though I love horror, it wasn‘t something I could blow through in one sitting.
pickA ouija board and a ghost/evil/demonic prescence? Sign me up!
I started this only a few days ago and the next thing I knew I only had an hour left! A great tale with a really interesting female friendship *not* centered around guys at all!
The explanation during the climax seemed unnecessary/repetitive but still...great pick!
pickLove Ahlborn's characters. All three of her books that I've read focus on themes of family and responsibility. This one is spooky, but low on gore. Drawing out the details of the deaths in the book felt unnecessary to me, otherwise I enjoyed it. The e-book version of most of her books are available for $0.99 - $4.99 right now.
The above quote is from the author's notes at the end of the book. 👻
I rarely get spooked by horror stories anymore but, yikes! 🙀👻💀
pickThis was a great creepy ghost story. This is the kind of book I like. No serial killers or realistic violence.aI Girl, a ouija board, and a ghost/demon. I wish it was longer. This is black cat approved.
If anyone has any other recommendations like this I'd love it. Thank @JoeStalksBeck . Great pick. Tap Tap Tap.
Reading break because the puglet refuses to learn to walk herself. Can't believe I need a jacket in August in SoCal. #readerproblems
The blob is Bon Jovi. And yes I did bring a book.
That author's note tho 😱 I think the best horror stories are often ones that seem plausible, that are scary by their familiarity. And what I found most terrifying (and hilarious) about this one:
Who has a constant pain in their neck/shoulders?👋🏼 Who had porcelain dolls? 👋🏼 Who used to hide them? 👋🏼 Who thinks mirrors are creepy? 👋🏼 Who covers mirrors? 👋🏼 Who lives close to a cemetery? 👋🏼 Who played with Ouja boards as a kid? 👋🏼😅
pickTerrifying. Ahlborn has managed to write a #horror novella that has all the paranormal hallmarks without seeming overwrought, by focusing on the emotional state of her main character. This is horror done well. I need all her books stat.
Waiting for people to show up at a sports bar so I can shoot video for a commercial. I'm so glad I ALWAYS have a book with me. It's gorgeous out here. And quiet. Not good for the commercial, but great for my introverted self.
This book was insanely scary but the authors note at the end just locked it down ! I can't even explain the emotions I felt when reading it. It's a quick read that you must get! Read it now! #whattiffyandritaarereading
O.M.G‼️ this book is so scary. It the authors note at the end will leave you stuttering and shaking! I've never read anything like. Nothing has ever made me .... I don't know how to explain it. Just shook me. #whattiffyandritaarereading
@JoeStalksBeck I don't know if I should thank you or yell at you, but I bought this.
Now, should I wait to read it when the #manpanion is here, or alone tonight (I may be a little tipsy).
I'm never going in my closet again
Just got this new novella from Ania Ahlborn! So excited! 1.99 on Amazon!
