"KILKENNY ARE different. They need All-Irelands in the way an infant needs regular feedings. It's a survival thing. A life thing. Yesterday they won their 31st and sailed into the history books."

Peril the first
As I mentioned in my last proper post Carl’s RIP challenge is on again. And as part of the first Peril I have to “Read Four books of any length, from any subgenre of scary stories that you choose”. So, my list is:
- Breaking Dawn by Stephanie Meyer - Its got vamps and werewolves, but I’m not sure that it is really scary. Still they fit with the whole supernatural theme of Hallowe’en, right?
- The Host by Stephanie Meyer - Alien abduction! But as it is Meyer I’m guessing it isn’t going to be that scary. But you never know, not til you read it.
- Arkham Asylum by Grant Morrison and illustrated by Dave McKean. Batman, in the asylum, written by Morrison. It’s got to be weird and scary.
- The Giant O’Brien by Hilary Mantel - I don’t think this is a horror, but it is described as a dark gothic tale which involves a doctor becoming obsessed with the giant Charles O’Brien and his desire to dissect him. Fun fun fun.
I may also add a few more when I look through the list of unread books. We’ll see.
Edited to add And I’m already adding books. First up I am Legend which I meant to read ages and ages ago but never got around to it. Thanks Andi.
