The World of Lore: Dreadful Places | 
pick47/150 One last book squeezed in before #MagnificientMay readathon is done. I really enjoyed this, it wasn't scary but it did give me the creeps. It might sound weird, but I started watching the so-called scary supernatural videos on Tik-Tok before starting the book each day. It really got me in the mood, gave me goosebumps sometimes. 4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐
5th and final book finished for #MagnificientMay @Andrew65
The places we live have a way of coming to look like us over time.

Getting my #audiowalk on during the #readathon
I'll be reading the books in this pic at some point during the #readathon but for right now, I'm listening to the tagged audiobook while I eat the pumpkin spice oatmeal chocolate chunk cookies I baked and sipping some more tea.
Haven't had as much reading time as I'd like the past few days ... but i am getting some car reading in today in the school pickup line

The illustrations in these books get me every time
But of a stressful day for this introvert as I had some tables at a craft fair. I think I've earned a little reading break lol
pickGosh I really love Aaron Mahnke and the Lore podcast! I‘ve listened to the podcast for probably 5 years or so now and still adore it! This book was a fantastic collection of folklore and ghost stories of Dreadful Places from well known ones like the Stanley Hotel to lesser knowns like Hadley, Massachusetts. Also got four hours done for the #October20in4! #TeamSlaughter

The World of Lore: Dreadful Places Audible Audiobook – Unabridged
Captivating stories of the places where human evil has left a nefarious mark, featuring stories from the podcast Lore - now a streaming television series - including “Echoes”, “Withering Heights”, and “Behind Closed Doors”, as well as rare material.
bailedTonight, I decided to abandon this book that I had to read for a bookclub.
I've read around 70 pages, and I just don't feel like going on.
It feels to me like a series of superficially told ghost tales. Moreover, I find the tone of the narrator quite annoying...
Really not my cup of tea.

A collection of spookiness ranging from ghosts to cryptids, and all sorts of mysterious happenstance throughout history. Lots of gorey medical details as well. Fun stuff!
Yikes. Obviously I'm familiar with lobotomies but to read about it in such matter of fact terms is awful. Especially that stirring bit. 🤢
pickI loved the first two when I listened to them last year, and I enjoyed this one very much, too. I'm pretty sure that, if you've listened to his podcast, there's no new material here, but I find Mahnke's voice soothing and I like how he doesn't pass judgement - he leaves it up to the reader to decide whether there is a non-supernatural explanation for the stories presented.
1st book finished for #Screamathon

Yes, Aaron Mahnke did just drop a Hamilton musical reference into his Lore book, and yes, I did cackle in my car on the ride home and start singing to myself. 🤣🤣 #Screamathon is off to a great start!
Even though I‘m bummed about not finishing certain books in September, I‘m determined to enjoy October‘s #screamathon! These are the books I hope to get through-not all strictly horror, but hopefully creepy enough to count. I‘ll come back to September‘s unfinished books in November. I‘m going to start the tagged book on audio today. Happy October everyone and thanks for hosting @4thhouseontheleft 👻 #ScreamathonPhotoChallenge
pickI watched part of the Amazon show, but thought that the audio format would work better for me- and while I did like it, I‘m actually looking forward to getting my hands on a physical copy of the book! I enjoyed #AudioColoring with goosebumps but would like to reference some of these out of order and can skip over some of the redundant transitions!
pickThis was my least favourite of the trilogy. Some great tales but it kind of dragged. That being said, I did scream while reading it when my lamp shade fell off the light. So, in the grand scheme of things, if a book of scary stories makes you jump, scream, or look at every dark corner? It‘s doing its job. 👍👍
⭐️⭐️⭐️
I heard this story on the Podcast, and it is legit my fave of the 100+ tales. I‘m glad there was a piece of art for it. It is so beyond messed up, that I couldn‘t believe it actually happened. #currentlyreading
On to the next! They‘re all due back while I‘ll be away on a trip so I have to read them before I leave!! No rest for the wicked! 😂 #currentlyreading
Been listening to this on audiobook from Libby. I wish my Libby could pair up with my kindle for switching between since I have the kindle copy of this too. This had such a long wait time for audio too so I really need to get it finished. I do love the sound of his voice too. I wish he narrated more audiobooks.

so-soSubject is interesting but delivery wasn't. Found the writing repetitive, the tone exaggerated, the narrative simplistic. Overuse of redundant comments. It's a verbatim of the podcast- could have done with more editing to make it more reader friendly.Gets better as you read on, stories are spookier, writing flows better, but it doesn't quite forego the irritating banalities and moralistic quips.

pickAn interesting account of some of the well known spooky or haunted places throughout the world, including The Stanley Hotel, The Bell Witch, and Glamis Castle, among other places. Great if you‘re into creepy stuff.
pickI had a lot of fun listening to this audiobook. In fact, I think I might get a print copy for my personal library! I‘d recommend Dreadful Places to everyone who likes good ghost stories. 👻👻👻
In love with these books!!! Casually starting this one before the new year.
Sprawled on my couch: my New York Comic Con haul. Signed stuff! Convention exclusives! So many pins! Stuff that hasn‘t been released yet! I am ridiculously excited about all of it.
One of these days I‘m going to have to check out the book or the podcast. Hubby and I LOVED the first season on Amazon. Asked him about a second season at the panel today, and am glad to report they are in the middle of filming season 2!
