Happy Friday  Night worms! Who remembers where their love of horror came from? Mine was definitely from Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, R. L. Stine and the fact that my mom was just happy I was reading, no matter what the book was.

 I recently came across these two books in a used book store and had no second thoughts about buying them. I did a quick reread and visited my horror roots. They hold up, even if just for nostalgia’s sake. If you have time, this month...

Happy Friday Night Worms! Today we’re going a little off the beaten path of horror books and talking about some possible real-life horrors. If you’re anything like me, you love planning weird and spooky things to do with your friends and family during October.

I know you may not be from Ohio, but there is a book like this...
