Readers Imbibing Peril (R.I.P.) XVIII

 

It's been a while since I participated in the R.I.P. Event first hosted by Carl V. at Stainless Steel Droppings. The event is now hosted by Andi and appears on Instagram and Twitter, but for all the details, please see the link. The main object is to have fun and to share that fun with others while reading books that fall into one of the categories listed below.

Mystery
Suspense
Thriller
Dark Fantasy
Gothic
Horror
Supernatural.

There are several levels and while it's not a challenge per se, I always set a personal goal so I can add this to my list of "challenges" accepted and completed. I'll be going with my usual Peril of the Fiction Read (read four fictional tales that fit the categories). I may also get some viewing in, but we'll see. I don't have a set list yet, but I can say with great confidence that most, if not all, of the books (films) will come from the Mystery category. I'm a big weenie when it comes to horror and thrillers. I will post my list as they come.
