I am going to celebrate Halloween with a few of these now – thank you!
That’s awesome!
There needs to be some Lovecraft on this list.
Yeah there were a lot more I could have added but I had to stop somewhere lol
You should’ve started with him!
I promise to put him on next year’s list!
Nice list! I also like ‘Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter’ (Seth Grahame-Smith), but I don’t like his treatment of ‘Pride and Prejudice and Zombies’.
I am Legend is one of my favorite books of all time. If you haven’t read it, READ IT
I’ll have to check these out!
Reblogged this on The Stoic Squirm.
Anne Rice is such an amazing writer, will def read something of hers again!

We have The Historian in a local book club read. I am yet to receive my copy though.
