2015 October Frights Blog Hop
Welcome to my website, blog hoppers! I hope you’ve been enjoying your trek around the web visiting my fellow horror & paranormal authors.
In case this is your first blog hop, here’s the lowdown…over 45 authors are taking part in the inaugural showing of the October Frights Blog Hop founded by fellow author Clarissa Johal.
The only goal is to follow the links in the hop, visit their websites and gather as many free reads, goodies and prizes as you can!

INTRODUCING…ME!
In case this is your first time here, I’m a dark fiction author with a number of published & self-published works.
My short stories tend to be solely focused in the horror genre, but my various novels-in-progress range from paranormal thriller to suspense with some mystery thrown in for good measure.
I also run a horror review site called Bloody Bookish, I’m a freelance writer & copy writer & I may have a soft & fuzzy (yet still kick-ass) alter ego.
THE GOODS
Now, I know you’re here for the books but there’s also a little Halloween-related loot up for grabs!
FREEBIE
Available to each and every visitor is a copy of my short story eBook, Creepy Crawleys, which was originally featured in Northern Haunts: 100 Terrifying New England Tales from Shroud Publishing.
About Creepy Crawleys
John & Jane have just moved into a sprawling old Colonial house in New England.
When they are welcomed by their neighbors in a strange way, the newlyweds must confront the reclusive old couple and their disturbing gesture.

Flowers for the Dead

On the day of the annual Honey Ball, newcomer Robert Blythe spends his day rubbing elbows with the cream of the crop. But that does not necessarily safeguard him from being judged by the company he keeps.

Saph
Me too, Saph! hence my snazzy new skull logo! Thanks for visiting!
Great way to kick off October!! Feels like fall! <3
Finally! I wish it was always Fall đŸ™‚
The horror movie question….I wouldn’t like clown serial killers đŸ™‚
I’m guessing you didn’t watch American Horror Story: Freak Show then? đŸ™‚
Here on the October Frights hop! Enjoy your October and have a happy Halloween!
Thanks Jolie! Great to see you on the Hop!
Being buried alive would scare me most…or being stalked by a psychotic murderer.
Thanks for the chance to win đŸ™‚
I have a half-finished buried alive story in my story trunk. Maybe I should polish it off and finish it for you…or not đŸ˜€
LOVE your giveaway! The freebie book looks super interesting too. Looking forward to reading it đŸ™‚
Thanks Clarissa!
I’m afraid of the dark, and I realize this has been done a million times, but I’d be terrified if I knew there was a supernatural (or serial killer) stalking me and the power was out…the phone rang, in SPITE OF THE FACT the phone is a cordless and requires power, and it’s the creeper. He’s calling from INSIDE the HOUSE! EEEK!! What to do? What to DO?? See? I’m already freaked out!!
I love your giveaway and your site. Thank you so much for the free book. I’m so excited about that; I’ll be sure to post a review for you when I’ve finished reading it.
Sounds like the perfect situation for a horror story, Michelle! Thanks for visiting!
Dolls. Any type of doll. Those creepy porcelain dolls, ventriloquist dummies, even a freaking Barbie if it wants to come alive. Just not right at all. That would be what would scare me the very most (I love Puppet Master and the puppets within but they are creepy little buggers!).

I think everyone should be afraid of ventriloquist dummies!
Clowns and elevators, they are the two things that I would be terrified of.
So being trapped in an elevator at a clown convention would be the worst! đŸ˜›
People scare me the most. Especially the sneaky ones who have some talent with a weapon, like Carol from The Walking Dead. She’s pretty quiet, past her prime, put up with BS from her husband for years (so she knows how to act meek and subservient) and she is deadly with a variety of guns and knives. She’s also a manipulator. That would be scary to have to pit my wits against her.
Good points! She definitely has a creepy side to her – the way she can smile at you and make you think everything’s okay…while hiding a knife behind her back đŸ™‚ Thanks for visiting!
I’m so glad the Halloween blog hop led me here! I love your style and I’m really looking forward to reading Creepy Crawleys! Stay spooky, dear!
Also, what scares me the most is really the suspense. The build up to that one terrifying moment is sometimes more frightening than the event itself!
