“Does something amuse you?’ asked Uncle Montague.
‘I was merely reminding myself, Uncle, that I am getting too old to be so easily frightened by stories.’
‘Really?’ said Uncle Montague with a worrying degree of doubt in his voice. ‘You think there is an age at which you might become immune to fear?”
― Chris Priestley, Uncle Montague’s Tales of Terror

Check out my previous years of participation: 2013 | 2012
It's been that time again for awhile now, but I'm slow on posting as usual lately. I've been remembering for months it was coming up, though. I've had the list structured on Goodreads. Unfortunately I wasn't able to start in November - other books to read before the horror reading binge in October - but that's normal for me.
This is, as always, one of my favorite challenges of the year.

Peril on the Screen:
This is for those of us that like to watch suitably scary, eerie, mysterious gothic fare during this time of year. It may be something on the small screen or large. It might be a television show, like Dark Shadows or Midsomer Murders, or your favorite film. If you are so inclined, please post links to any R.I.P.-related viewing you do on to the Review Site as well.
Short Reviews will be on the recap post when the event is over
Watched Dusk till Dawn TV Show on Netflix
Watched Big Ass Spider!
Watched the return of Grimm, The Walking Dead
More Coming as mood strikes - no specific horror watch plan, but will definitely be watching plenty of Horror in October. :)

Peril of the Short Story:
I am a big fan of short stories and my desire for them is perhaps no greater than in Autumn. You can read short stories any time during the challenge. When I can, I like to read short stories over the weekend and post about them around that time. Feel free to do this however you want, but if you review short stories on your site (not a requirement) please link to those reviews on the Review Site. It is not just a site for book reviews.
Reading List:
Many Bloody Returns (Anthology) - Read
The Birds and other short stories by Daphne du Maurier
