September 1st is right around the corner. It is time to begin.
Mystery.
Suspense.
Thriller.
Dark Fantasy.
Gothic.
Horror.
Supernatural.
Or anything sufficiently moody that shares a kinship with the above. That is what embodies the stories, written and visual, that we celebrate with the R.eaders I.mbibing P.eril event.As time has wound on I’ve honed this event down to two simple rules:
1. Have fun reading (and watching).
2. Share that fun with others.As I do each and every year, there are multiple levels of participation (Perils) that allow you to be a part of R.eaders I.mbibing P.eril without adding the burden of another commitment to your already busy lives. There is even a one book only option for those who feel that this sort of reading is not their cup of tea (or who have many other commitments) but want to participate all the same.
R.I.P. was one of the most fun on-line events I took part in last year. The above genres are some of my favorites, and I’m always on the lookout for more reviewers and bloggers who cover the dark side of speculative fiction.
Peril the First: My current TBR pile is below. I shouldn’t have any trouble finishing four books in two months.
Peril of the Short Story: Additionally, I working my way through a couple anthologies:
And lastly, Peril on the Screen. I already have a thing or two in mind to watch. Now, all I need is September!
I’m also going to try to participate in The True Book Addict’s Gothic September. I have two bits of Gothic literature on my list right now. Who knows? Maybe I’ll even finish The Woman in White!
Simple Tricks & Nonsense 
The Picture of Dorian Gray is one of those stories I’ve always heard about but never read. I’ll be curious to see your thoughts!
Likewise. I’m not sure what’s taken me so long!
I really want to read the Ray Bradbury at some point. It looks good!
Shadow Show has been weird for me. All the stories are new and by different authors, written in tribute to Ray Bradbury. Some of them though have given me such strong deja vu that I’ve had to stop reading. I guess it’s because I’ve read the Bradbury story that they are like, but it’s been very strange.
Oh it’s a collection of stories written in tribute to him? That sounds interesting!
So far, so good. It’s a really good bunch of authors.
I want to read A Study in Silks as well! And I love the covers for A White Room and The Seance Society. I hope you enjoy all of these 🙂
I’m crossing my fingers. Life is so much better when the books are good!
Wow, all those book covers look enticing. Glad you are back again for more gothic goodness. Thanks for joining in.
Thank *you* for hosting! I’ve been waiting for months for R.I.P.!
I read Shadow Show last year. You are in for a treat!
I love these genres as well!! I am definitely adding The Seance Society to my list to read. 🙂 Happy Spooky Reading Time!
I was excited to read (and see) your R.I.P list! I just love Wilde, and I had never really paused to consider how Dorian is a perfect supernatural tale for this time of year! I will be looking forward to your review of “The Seance Society”, as it is a title I have never encountered. Thank you for sharing your selection, and I actually really enjoyed looking at your broader blog as well. Happy Reading!
