Spring Horror Wrap Up

You may have noticed that I fed myself a steady diet of horror fiction in April. That's mostly because I love horror fiction but also because I signed up for Seasons of Reading Spring Horror Challenge. I managed to almost finish eight books which is a miracle for me! I may have to do this more often :)

The Chalk Man by C.J. Tudor 3.5 stars
Cat Call by Steve Vernon 5 Stars
The Strain by Guillermo del Toro & Chuck Hogan 3 Stars

    You did great! I really enjoyed this readathon and am thinking of doing the 2 week science fiction one in June. I like ones that don't have many rules!

    oh how interesting to see A Monster Calls categorized as horror! That book undid me completely. I loved it too! Gave it a 5-star too! but I still shudder when I think about it. I don;t think I will never be able to reread it. Too close to home!

      It's not true horror but has the monster element so I squeezed it in ;) It was a rough one to read and is definitely not one I'll be revisiting.

      Pretty much and I was smart enough (for once) to quit the one that was boring me :)

Author Feature: Hitting the Cons with Mark Cassell

Today I welcome author Mark Cassell to talk a little bit about hitting the cons. I've never been to a convention but hope to change that one of these days. If you missed my review of Mark's newest work yesterday, Hell Cat of the Holt, please click here to check it out. Hitting the Cons  Over the last few years here in the UK, the comic convention scene has exploded. More venues around the country host them with some fantastic guests giving us the opportunity to meet our heroes, whether from our childhood or present-day. Plus it’s great to see the incredible effort people go to with their costumes, taking the experience of visiting a comicon to a more personal level. Walking the con with pride, these cosplayers become their heroes. Stalls vary from creative-minds to collectable shops.
