Finally, after five library books in a row, it's time for my tenth round of @Ange44 and I's #tenatatime tbr project! I admittedly went a little "easier" this time but, after this run, that's one-hundred books read from my giant stacks!

We Stand on Guard | Brian K. Vaughan

The metric system. The struggle is real! Digging this graphic novel from"Saga" and "Y: The Last Man" creator Vaughan and, due to the man in charge in the U.S. currently, doesn't seem as unrealistic as it should.

Some thrift store horror paperback finds. Digging the "Fright Night" novelization as its by Skipp & Spector whose work I love.

LeahBergen That Child‘s Play looks mighty familiar. I think I read it in the 80s. 😆 6y

I've been trying to get into Manga and have had middling success but, man, Ito is one messed up dude!

A town is cursed by spirals causing all sorts of bizarre, gross, and abhorrent things to happen.

Lovecraft inspired nuttiness and well worth checking out.

Gwendy's Button Box | Stephen King
post image
Pickpick

Taking obvious influence from Richard Matheson's story, "Button, Button", this novella length shot of fantasy from King and Chizmar makes for an entertaining few hours of reading. If you dig this, by all means, check out Matheson's work - "I Am Legend" is one of the all-time great horror novels.

bitterbear The end of I am legend gave me shivers... I love Matheson... 7y

Before "The Underground Railroad", Whitehead wrote this zombie book. It's the last book on my #tenatatime tbr - finally! Many delays due to library books make this the longest tbr since we started this project.

The Dead Lands: A Novel | Benjamin Percy

I keep thinking "Oregon Trail" while reading this post apocalyptic Lewis and Clark retelling and while you're not likely to die of dysentery, mutant bats or spiders might rip your face off.

March: Book One | John Robert Lewis, Andrew Aydin, Nate Powell
post image
Pickpick

This resonates even more now with all that's happening in America of late but is also a very effective way to teach racial history in a format younger readers will probably focus on better.

It's an important story that spotlights true injustice and moments in time to truly be ashamed of. It still needs to get better and that's what is truly distressing all these years after the events in this graphic novel occurred.

Just starting this one. Was my annual "Christmas Stocking Book" and am looking forward to some hopefully creepy stuff within.

RadicalReader @Kosugi what did you think of this “ creepy crawly novel”? 6y
Kosugi @RadicalReader It was way too long (about 700 pages) and trying for too many twists with minimal pay-off. Not my thing. 6y
RadicalReader @Kosugi good book with awesome twists 6y

Into the Darkest Corner | Elizabeth Haynes
post image
Panpan

Don't get me wrong, I have a soft spot for crime thrillers but, man, does this get more and more implausible as it goes along. It's decent at first and a mess by the time it ends.

Characters are poorly developed, especially our domestic abuser baddie who is a bouncer? Cop? Who cares? They just felt unrealistic at all times.

This seems to be as well loved as "Girl on the Train" (which I also think is overrated and disliked) and I am not sure why.

TrishB This has been on my kindle for ages and I haven't got to it! I don't think I'll be rushing! 7y

The best thing about revisiting the works of King all these years later? Getting them for so cheap! 75 cents scored me these three and I've not read "Rose Madder" before as I was 'off' his works when it was published in 1995.

Another entertaining Nick Cutter (aka: Craig Davidson) read. A twisted amalgamation of monster movie, mercs, Jim Jones, and the Pied Piper. As gross at times as "The Troop" though not quite on the level of "The Deep" for me but totally worth a read for horror fans.
