The Night the Jack O'Lantern Went Out by Alexander S. Brown

   Watch out! This book may give you the creeps! Reader beware!!!
   A scary story come to life, a ghost that tells her side of the story, a Halloween seance, a witch who will steal your soul, a scarecrow that comes to life and craves blood, and other deliciously scary tales.
   Reminiscent of the scary stories series by Alvin Schwartz, this was a delightful little read. Unlike Schwartz however the author was able to change his writing style slightly from story to story. It was very refreshing for an anthology book. Most of the stories center around Halloween making this a perfect read for October. 
   I would definitely recommend this book to anybody who likes scary anthologies.

Party Games: A Fear Street Novel by R. L. Stine

   HAHA! R. L. Stine is back on Fear Street ladies and gentlemen! Such a fantastic little horror novel.
   Rachel is not as athletic as her sister. Or as talented, or as smart, or even as pretty. She seems to feel like the odd man out in any given situation. So when a handsome, although strange and mysterious, boy asks her to come to his birthday party Rachel is ecstatic! The problem? The party is taking place in a haunted castle-like mansion on an island only inhabited during the summer months. A small group is attending this party... but will they make it back alive when there are no rules to these party games?
   Ok, right off the bat, I'm a Goosebumps fan. I've been reading Stine since I was young. Love his works! I read this book for a Buddy Read on Litsy and I gotta say that I'm glad I did. This was such a fun little read! Suspense, horror, gore, intrigue with a hint of puppy love... Stine does not disappoint in this relaunch of the Fear Street series. I look forward to reading the other installments.

The Vampire Sextette edited by Marvin Kaye

"Six original novellas by the modern masters of vampire fiction. Awaken to Some Velvet Morning as Nancy Collins puts leather-punk vampire-cum-slayer Sonja Blue on the trail of an ancient witch who bathes in blood. Visit Tanith Lee's The Isle is Full of Noises where a woman embroiled in writing a vampire novel crosses the thin line between reality and fantasy. Tour Hollywood with Orson Welles, an undead private eye, and a teenage slayer in full Cinemascope splendor eith Kim Newman's The Other Side of Midnight....."
Anthologies are always difficult to review. Every author has a different style and every story is written in a different way. 
Out of the six novellas here I personally liked two of them. They were well written and very sexy. 
The other four were kind of... meh. One of them was more of a cops and robbers type story. 
I'm sure that somebody who enjoys reading sexy vampire stories would enjoy this book.

Wildfell: A Novel by London Clarke

Holy moly! This was an amazing read! I read this in less than 24 hours. I just couldn't put it down. Anne drops her life in the states and runs off to London to escape having to testify in court against an ex-lover accused of sexual assault, who also happened to be her college professor. On the plane to London Anne meets Bain. Under the assumed name of Tessa, Anne decides to stay with Bain at the old and decrepit house in which he's staying. The problem is... this house has more than just creaky walls and dusty floors lurking in it's shadows. Will Anne ever make it out of there alive once she's entered? Or will the house decide her fate?
   Excellently written. The story is well thought out and very well put together. A little slow at the start but by about 40% of the way through it picks up a sledge hammer and nails you! This book had me gripped til the end. Characters were perfectly developed and more than believable, they seemed to jump off the page (or screen in my case).
   I dare say, this has to be one of the best horror novels I've ever read and coming from a horror fanatic like myself, that's a pretty BIG compliment! I am going to have to get a paper copy of this one for my library and I would definitely recommend this book to all who enjoy a bit of creepiness in their lives.
