The Satanic Verses: A Novel | Salman Rushdie

#CallingAllMonsters #OctoberXFiles
The creature hospital scene from Satanic Verses came to mind for this, along with the fact that the manticore is rallying the patients to rise up and not stand for being defined by others.
I had much spooky fun this month @Robothugs and @Cinfhen - very well done!
Happy Halloween all 🎃💀👹👻

The Monster at the End of this Book | Jon Stone

A childhood favorite that I remember reading at our cottage in the summer. Both my kids enjoy this one, and my 6 yo really gets the humor. My favorite bit is the embarrassed Grover at the end. 😈🎃👹#callingallthemonsters #octoberxfiles

Cinfhen, Robothugs

Crazeedi My child relived this book! Oooo there's a monster at the end of this book, I always read it in Grovers voice, 😉 5y

Robothugs I LOVE Grover!!! 5y

Plenty of monsters in this- the worst being a human, of course.

Caroline2 Awesome!!! 😀 5y

Oryx How cool. I never saw this film, but weirdly I had the video game (I think on Amiga 500) and it was terrifying! 5y

Robothugs Good pick!! 5y

eanderson So cool!!! 5y

SkeletonKey 😮😮😮 I want this book so badly. 5y

TrishB @Soubhiville it‘s great and creepy! 5y

TrishB @Oryx that‘s probably worth some money now from collector type people! 5y

TrishB @SkeletonKey I‘ve just seen how much a new copy goes for 😱 5y

Oryx @TrishB it's long gone unfortunately. I ended up watching a run through of it on YouTube last night. Ah sweet horrifying memories. 5y

TrishB @Oryx film is one of a kind! 5y

SkeletonKey @TrishB - I know, every time I look it up I cry, hah! 😭 5y

Birdman | Mo Hayder

This #thriller might not be among the "classic" Halloween-y #spookybooks, but boy did this book spook me. I've read most of the other books in the Jack Caffery series. They are good but none of them is as good as this first one. Probably because I didn't yet know what to expect of a book by Mo Hayder.

#31bookpics @howjessreads - Thank you for hosting this photochallenge.

#OctoberXFiles @Robothugs @Cinfhen - I couldn't not use this to catch up

ladym30 Great cover!💕 5y

See What I Have Done | Sarah Schmidt

Definitely not a book for everyone - it was creepy and grotesque in parts - but fitting for #CallingAllTheMonsters . Lizzie Borden took an ax...or did she? Schmidt interprets what she thinks happened that fateful day in Fall River.

Thanks for a fun #OctoberXFiles @Cinfhen and @Robothugs !

Cinfhen Always happy to have you 💕💕hope to see u in November 🦃 5y

Robothugs Thanks for playing along!! 5y
