SporeTitle:  Spore
Series:
Author:  Tamara Jones
Genre:  Horror, Mystery, Thriller, Paranormal
Published:  June 2, 2015
Publisher:  Samhain
My Rating:  5 stars
Source:  NetGalley
Synopsis:

The dead are coming back.

Ten naked people walk from a cemetery into artist Sean Casey’s backyard: ten Spore People who used to be dead. One, Mindy, stays with Sean while trying to reclaim her life, but her ex would rather she return to her grave. Sean struggles to protect Mindy and other Spores while battling his recurring—and worsening—nightmares. Meanwhile, the media feeds a panicked frenzy that leads both the hopeful and hateful to Sean’s front door.

As the Spore fungus spreads, so does the fear. When mutilated children match Sean’s nightmares, he realizes his own worst terror may be closer than he thinks.

Read on for my thoughts on Spore.  No true spoilers, promise.

Horror Reading Challenge 2015

Horror Reading Challenge 2015

There is a challenge going on over at Cornerfolds – a Horror Reading Challenge 2015 and I’m just crazy enough to sign myself up for it.

 

Cornerfolds Horror Reading Challenge 2015

That’s the link above for all of the guidelines and challenge links, button, etc.

 

Okay, I know.  Will you really read Horror because there aren’t any reviews here on Keeper Bookshelf in that genre?

Well.  Just because I haven’t reviewed it, doesn’t mean I haven’t read it.  So this challenge isn’t as far-fetched as one might think.  It’s not my absolute favorite style of story but there are some amazing authors out there telling tales to chill the spine.  Yes, I do believe I can do this.

And after all I have an entire year to get to the “Running Scared” level at 1-5 books.  *innocent whistle*  I can do that, at least… and try for more.

If you like Horror novels then check it out.  It might be right up your alley.  *wink*  Besides, it’s a fun way to find great books, new authors, possibly new book blogs that you haven’t discovered yet.  Sounds like a win to me!

UPDATE:  I just spent an hour or so over at Amazon – my Kindle is now loaded with horror stories (and maybe a few others too).  I am prepared.  🙂
