MY SPOOKATHON TBR 🤡

Dead End (DI Kelly Porter #3) by Rachel Lynch

It was just published this month! October 8th.

Mystery, Crime, Thriller

Completes Challenges #1, #2, and #4

“When the seventh Earl of Lowesdale is found hanging from the rafters at Wasdale Hall, everyone assumes the aging, hard-partying aristocrat had finally had enough of chasing the glory of his youth. But when the coroner finds signs of foul play, DI Kelly Porter is swept into a luxurious world where secrets and lies dominate.

At the same time, two young hikers go missing and it’s up to Kelly to lead the search. But digging deeper reveals ties to two other unsolved disappearances and Kelly and her team find themselves in a race against time.”

Alice Cooper Vol. 1: Welcome to my Nightmare (Alice Cooper 1-6) by Joe Harris

Published September 2015

Horror, Fantasy, Graphic Novel

Completes Challenges #2, 4, and 5

“Rock n’ roll legend Alice Cooper has never been a stranger to the mystic and the macabre. His stage shows were the stuff of legend, featuring snakes and pyrotechnics, the invocation of dark themes and darker forces. But while he was a legend in the waking world, few knew his service as “The Lord of Nightmares” beyond it, where he watched over us while we dreamed, and delivered horrors unto the deserving. Only someone took it all away from him, cast him out of his realm, and locked him away. No longer enslaved to the Clan Black, Alice Cooper will reclaim his dark throne at all costs. All hail the Godfather of Shock Rock!”

Salem’s Lot by Stephen King

Published October 1975

Horror, Fantasy, Vampires

Completes Challenge #3

King’s been my favourite author since I was eleven years old. I’ve read quite a few of his books, and recently decided to read the ones I haven’t read yet in chronological order.

“A stranger had also come to the Lot, a stranger with a secret as old as evil, a secret that would wreak irreparable harm on those he touched and in turn on those they loved.

All would be changed forever—Susan, whose love for Ben could not protect her; Father Callahan, the bad priest who put his eroded faith to one last test; and Mark, a young boy who sees his fantasy world become reality and ironically proves the best equipped to handle the relentless nightmare of ‘Salem’s Lot.”
