BackwoodsBodyCount

so-so

Mercenaries, a backwoods cult, monsters and a body count. This is one of those books where I wanted to really like it and it was an entertaining read but, I hated all the characters. #backwoodsbodycount #halloweenreads @Tiffy_Reads @JoeStalksBeck #screamathon @4thhouseontheleft

LOOOOOOVE!!! 😍😍😍😍
But what exactly did I love about this book? EVERYTHING. Fairy tales. Danger lurking behind every tree fairy tales. Bloody #backwoodsbodycount fairy tales. The delicious darkness of it all. Characters and relationships that felt natural. The story within a story. The haunting feeling that there were other untold fantastical stories hovering just out of reach. So good! #intothewoods

Lonesome Dove: A Novel | Larry McMurtry

#lonedove people, I'm really really hoping you don't consider this too much of a spoiler!! ?

I love me a good #bookmatch! Perhaps "backwoods" is a stretch, but I think this is a nice non-horror interpretation of #backwoodsbodycount - things can go wrong out there on the road! These sagas make great #bookmates and my favorite characters from both of them are animals: the turtle and the pigs! ? Read them-you'll see. Audio of LoneDove is ??

Lacythebookworm The pigs! 🐖 😍 7y

Mdargusch I ❤️the 🐷🐷🐷and I agree, the audiobook is great. 7y

Natasha.C.Barnes @Mdargusch Im so glad someone doing #LoneDove is listening to the audio! I really love it and I think it adds to the experience. I listened 2 years ago while backpacking and it was the perfect tale for that--I was walking for every hour of that audiobook, and the pacing felt right in step. 😆 7y

Another book that I've heard a ton of good things about! So many books to read. It spans two storylines in different generations and takes place in Appalachia, complete with supernatural forces, murderers, and all kinds of intriguing things.

Dogtown: Death and Enchantment in a New England Ghost Town | Elyssa East

I read this nonfiction book years ago. Dogtown was a village in the US Revolutionary War. The village didn't have the best reputation and fell on hard times. In the 1980s, a woman who lived nearby, was murdered by a local man, while on her daily walk. East weaves history with modern day to present a desolate, backwoods ghost town, with plenty of stories to tell. #backwoodsbodycount #hallowreads

Kaye This sounds like a creepy place. Wouldn‘t you like to see it sometime ? 7y

Librarybelle @Kaye I would! It's in Massachusetts, so not terribly far from me. If you do a search, you'll find photos and videos people have taken of the area. 7y

Kaye Yea, I think I looked them up,once after reading this. Wasn‘t this the place with all the big carved rocks with the sayings on them? I can‘t remember a lot about it, but just remember those huge carved rocks and how spooky those woods sounded. Isn‘t it a No Trespassing area now or am I thinking of someplace else? 7y

Mdargusch Ha! As soon as I saw this I thought of you @Kaye. But of course you've already read it. 😀 7y

Librarybelle @Kaye I think it does have carved rocks. It could be a No Trespass area, though so many of the locals used the area as a walking path, if I recall. It's been quite some time since I read it - think I read it when it first came out. Maybe parts of it are No Trespass?? 7y

Kaye @Mdargusch Yea, that‘s the problem when I‘ve read for so many years and read lots of true crime, there‘s not nearly as big a selection of that as in fiction. Lots of cases have more than one book about the same case too.. that‘s why I get excited when I find one I haven‘t heard of before. 🙂 (edited) 7y

AmyG @Kaye Yes...I have read so many, I feel I've read all the best ones. And I, too, think of you when I see true crime. 😜 7y

Kaye Thanks 😆 @AmyG. Is it just me or do you think the older true crimes were better ? Maybe it‘s just that it was easier to find them. 7y

Mdargusch They were such huge best sellers back in the day @Kaye and @AmyG like In Cold Blood and Helter Skelter. I had to read every Bugliosi! 7y

AmyG @Kaye...it's not you. I do think the older true crime is better. @Mdargusch Yes. I would find an author and read true crime books by that author. Helter Skelter will always be my favorite. (edited) 7y

The Body Farm: Scarpetta 5 | Patricia Cornwell

#BackwoodsBodyCount

This was the first novel that introduced me to the Body Farm, back when I was still in school and it fascinated me. I can imagine the people working there have to do regular literal body counts in their woods. Since I have a strong stomach, but sensitive nose I'd volunteer to help count in Winter only. 😁
