Anyone who knows me will tell you that I'm obsessed with horror. Scary movies, stories, TV shows, video games, novels...you name it! I read a lot of horror novels, and I've read a few of the classics, but I always need a little extra motivation when it comes to picking up books from decades and centuries past. I'm using the term 'classic' rather loosely here; all of the books I chose are from the 19th century or newer.
I have assigned a classic horror novel or story to each month of 2017. I would love to have you participate for one or more of these months. Discussions about the books will take place on Twitter throughout the month, using the hashtag #classichorror2017!
