I posted these tips every year, but I wanted to repost them since it’s about that time again, and I also had some things to add! This will be my fourth year attending the festival and I am SO FREAKING EXCITED. The past three years have been chaotic, but SO FUN! You can see my recap of the last couple years here. Book a hotel in advance If you plan on staying the night, PRE-book. In 2014, Octavia and I skipped pre-booking because […]
![[Horror October] Top Ten Tuesday: Creepy Covers](http://novelheartbeat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/shutter-250x200.jpg)
Yay, another week where Top Ten Tuesday coincides with a topic I had chosen for Horror October! Today I’ve chosen my top ten favorite creepy book covers! Sadly I didn’t like the ones that I actually read (Fiendish, Miss Peregrine’s Home, Shutter) but THE COVERS DUDE. I sure do love me a creepy book cover! What’s your favorite creepy cover?
I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this book! I’ve been wanting to read it for FOREVER but was hesitant because I wasn’t sure it would be a “me” book, and also because I hated Fiendish. I’m so glad I gave Brenna a second chance! (See, sometimes giving authors a second chance DOES pay off!) I absolutely LOVED the premise of this book! And I loooove the world. Metal flowers and steel streets, how awesome is that? I would […]
Top 10 General Horror Silent Hill. This movie has always been (and will always be) my favorite horror movie ever. I love how twisted and creepy it is! I’ve seen it a zillion times and it never gets old. The second movie, however…DON’T EVEN GET ME STARTED. Oculus. HOLY. CRAP. GUYS. I can’t even BEGIN to tell you how freaktastic this movie is! The first time I ever saw it it made me feel like I was losing my mind. […]
*rubs hands together* I just so happen to have a note saved in my phone where I keep a running list of all the pet names I love, and there’s a ton of bookish names on there! Grimalkin from The Iron Fey series by Julie Kagawa. This is on the very top of my list, and I’ve been on the lookout for a long-haired gray male kitten ;) Buruu from The Lotus Wars trilogy by Jay Kristoff. MY FAVORITE CHARACTER […]
The monstrous act by definition demands a monster. I have VERY mixed feelings about this book, even more so than the first one. I loved the first book simply for the fact that it was super creepy, gripping, and was actual horror. This one was a lot more…disturbing. It was very gruesome, which I love. It’s totally twisted, but I love gory stuff! And this one was the goriest of the gory. I mean, there was a certain scene close to the end […]
