Powers of Darkness: The First Dracula | Bram Stoker

Husband bought me this Swedish version of Dracula 3 years ago and I‘m going to try to tackle it again. It‘s a chunkster I was trying to read for Halloween but didn‘t make it. I‘m starting it earlier this year. The existence of this rare and unique book is a historical literary mystery. Read about this book to find out more. #hauntedshelf #blackcatcrew @BookwormAHN @PuddleJumper

Bury Your Gays | Chuck Tingle

I may have gotten excited when making these rec lists! I just really like these books. Similar to my own TBR, I chose a few spooky levels ? #hauntedshelf @BookwormAHN

Scary & real are titles that either have magical realism or fall more into a "fiction" genre but have some fantasy element #reclist #blackcatcrew

More info in comments too

https://bookmarksthat.wordpress.com/2025/09/21/challenge-hauntedshelf-my-tbr-boo...

coffees If you‘re looking to read something more on the scary scale, I‘d recommend: Bury Your Gays (scifi), The Route of Ice and Salt (novella), The Sacrifice (ancient gods), The White Guy Dies First (short story collection), The Blonde Dies First (ouija board), and Bat Eater and Other Names for Cora Zeng (haunting). 2d

coffees If you‘re looking for something that focuses more on the supernatural aspect related to spookiness, but not necessarily too much “scary”, I‘d recommend: A Cruel Thirst (romance), The Diablo‘s Curse (cursed lost treasure), Spell Bound (queers who can magic), The Buried and the Bound (lover‘s curse), and A Vampire in the Bathhouse (fluff and vampires). 2d

coffees And if you want something that borders between reality and magic, with various levels of disturbing, I rec: The Fox Wife (depression), Cold (queer teen murder), Into the Light (conversion therapy), The Ghost Bride (afterlife), Legendborn (black generational magic), and hungry ghost (eating disorder). Legendborn is the more fantastical, but I felt it fit the theme of a more realistic horror (and I really like it), so I added it to the list. 2d

Frankenstein | Mary Shelly

Thank you @PuddleJumper for the graphic.
All right #BlackCatCrew here are my Team Leader picks for #HauntedShelf for books: The Witches of Eastwick by John Updike, Frankenstein by Mary Shelley & The Exorcist by William Peter Blatty.
This isn't a buddy read. You can read these or any other Team Leaders book picks for an extra 15pts on top of whatever other points they count for 🐈‍⬛

Black Cat: On The Run | Jed Mackay

I‘ve just explained to Midnight her duties as mascot of the #BlackCatCrew for #hauntedshelf. She‘s mulling it over. 🐈‍⬛ 🧐

😂

@BookwormAHN @PuddleJumper

Ruthiella It‘s a big responsibility! 😹 7d

Texreader @Ruthiella Apparently just mulling it over is a huge responsibility. She‘s fallen asleep in my lap. 7d

willaful Oh my! I hope we have such a committed mascot for #ScreamTeam! 7d

ImperfectCJ @willaful I have two cats who are trying to convince me that #TwoTuxedoCatsTeam is a catchier name than #ScreamTeam. I suspect they'll eventually agree to mascothood even without a team name change, but they certainly don't have Midnight-level commitment. 7d

willaful @ImperfectCJ They will add an air of elegance, however! 7d

BookwormAHN She's fantastic 💗🐈‍⬛💗 7d

AnnCrystal 💕😹💝... adorable little mascot 🤩🐈‍⬛💝. 7d

PuddleJumper 😻😻 Gorgeous. I'm sure they'll be a great help! 7d

PuddleJumper @ImperfectCJ Tuxedo cats are the best and would make fine mascots 7d

julieclair She is perfect as our mascot! She simply MUST agree to serve! 🖤🐈‍⬛🖤 3d
