30 posts | 3 read | 9 to read
Don't turn out the lights... but open the cover, if you dare, and reveal the chilling delights that await you within the pages of A Book of Horrors. Stephen Jones, Britain's most acclaimed horror editor, has gathered together masters of the macabre from across the world in this cornucopia of classic chills and modern menaces. Within these pages you will discover the most successful and exciting writers of horror and dark fantasy today, with a spine-chilling selection of stories displaying the full diversity of the genre, from classic pulp style to more contemporary psychological tales, to cutting-edge terror fiction that will leave you uneasily looking over your shoulder, or in the wardrobe, or under the bed... A Book of Horrors: an original anthology of all-new horror and dark fantasy fiction, in all of its many and magnificent guises, by those devoted to the Dark Side. Including all-original stories by Ramsey Campbell, Peter Crowther, Dennis Etchison, Elizabeth Hand, Brian Hodge, Caitlin R. Kiernan, Stephen King, John Ajvide Lindqvist, Richard Christian Matheson, Reggie Oliver, Robert Shearman, Angela Slatter, Michael Marshall Smith and Lisa Tuttle.

On a run of finishing books. Another anthology of creepy stories but these were longer and more detailed. Pretty creepy some of them. First was Stephen King. I enjoyed them 4* #Scarathlon #TeamCryptKeepers @LiseWorks

Yay!!! @BookishTrish my package came!!!! I can't wait. Thanks for the licorice - they look almost too cute to eat! @ephemeralwaltz I sent yours out today. I'm sorry it's a day late but I hope you get it quickly. I also forgot to bring the treats with me so this one is sadly lacking but I'll make up for it with the next one. Thanks @teebe for hosting.

I had a few Qs emailed to me, so recap:
💀 You each only send to 1 person, so no one needs to worry about shipping all over.
💀Unless you decide as a group to reveal your books, they should remain secret. Part of the fun of a PBC is you dk what‘s next until you get it 😉

To anyone who asked specific questions, I‘ll be replying on Saturday. I‘m on a work trip rn & don‘t have access to my #HorrorPost info (I‘m old school, I write everything down)

IamIamIam Thanks so much, Toni!!! Whenever I ship, I'll email you my tracking number, that way you'll be the go to for all my packages and my contact can get in touch with you for info. 😄 7y

ptkpepe98 @Kappadeemom - the package should go out Monday at the latest, and since I'm one state over, I hope you'll have it quickly (SC to you). @Sid2 - found the perfect journal for this adventure and had my member discount plus another 20% coupon!

Winner of the name game, with 20% of the votes, was HorrorPost! I‘ve randomly assigned the other most popular names to the different sections. Use both #horrorpost and your section hashtags when posting! See your groups ⤵️

Everyone was sorted into sections by shipping/group size preference— I think I‘ve met everyone‘s shipping preference ☺️ EDIT: Emails for Groups 1 & 2 have been sent, Groups 3 & 4 will be sent tomorrow.

@teebe is thinking of putting together a horror postal Book club! I‘m in one for cozy mysteries and they are so fun! Everyone sends their book out with a journal 📓 and it makes the rounds until you finally get your book back with the journal and everyone‘s comments. Head over to @teebe ‘s page to let her know you are interested 💀 A horror one would be awesome! ☠️👻

I've been thinking about this for awhile and I really want to do a postal book club dedicated to horror. This would start after New Years. If there's enough interest I'll start a sign up sheet. Who's in?

Also, please suggest names ⬇️ because so far I've only vaguely referred to it with friends as horrorpost.

Just finished The Witches. One of my all time favourites! Have read this book a million times, and watched the movie. And it STILL gets me on the edge of my seat going "Nononono, RUN, you fool! WHY did you enter that ballroom?!" ? Moving in to A Book of Horrors. Can't wait to dig into these scary short stories! Also, Halloween is over, so Christmas stuff is starting to pop up in our house ?
