(GS LRC) October Book of the Month - 365 Horror Tales

Tired of reading Goosebumps to get your hairs raising and your blood racing? In the 2001 film Vanilla Sky, one of the main characters tells another that “the sweet is never as sweet without the sour . . . and I know the sour.” He meant that he’d had a hard life, so when good things happened to him, he appreciated them more just like when you read horror and feel on some level  that the fictional character has an even harder life than you.

And perhaps if someone has a good life, horror gives them a contrast. Bad hair day? Well, at least zombies aren’t after you. Can't buy that new toy? Could be worse: you could be dealing with the end of the world.

This month's feature is easy to read not only because each of the terrifying stories are short but the book is meant to be read every day in a year, hence 365, so you can either finish the whole thing on your free time or scare yourself slowly...

Each story is complete in itself by arousing suspense but the cause of each terror is an underlying issue to captivate the attention of a reader and fuel every imaginative mind.

If that hasn't got you hooked yet, there's lot of colorful self-explanatory illustrations to accompany each story so you won't really get bored. All the thrilling stories are simply told although they sure won't fail to attract experienced readers because of the plot variety. Before you celebrate All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day by visiting your dead loved ones, why not start reading 365 Horror Tales to warm up?
