This is my first time participating in the R.I.P. challenge, but I enjoyed the Once Upon a Time challenge so much this spring that I’ve been looking forward to it ever since. The challenge doesn’t officially start until September 1, but I’ve already read two books that fit the bill, so I guess I’ll be doing Peril the First:

Read four books of any length, from any subgenre of scary stories that you choose: mystery, suspense, thriller, dark fantasy, gothic, horror, supernatural.

Here’s my list of completed and possibly reads:

• Pride and Prescience by Carrie Bebris (Gothic mystery/Austen pastiche)
• Mind Fuck by Manna Francis (Near-future dystopia/police procedural)
• Quid Pro Quo by Manna Francis (ditto)
• Mortal Engines by Philip Reeve
• Tales of H.P. Lovecraft
• The Sandman by Neil Gaiman

There is a review site for this challenge.
