I’m linking up with Top Ten Tuesday, which was created by The Broke and the Bookish and is now hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl. Check out upcoming Top Ten themes on Jana’s blog.
Today’s prompt is to make a list of books with [word of choice] in the title, and because it’s Summer of Horror, I’ve decided to go with the word “ghost,” especially since it’s a very common word in book titles. Here are twelve books I found (some read and some on my TBR) with GHOST in the title:
Red Rabbit Ghost by Jen Julian
The Warm Hands of Ghosts by Katherine Arden
Ghost Eaters by Clay McLeod Chapman
The Ghost Tree by Christina Henry
A Head Full of Ghosts by Paul Tremblay
20th Century Ghosts by Joe Hill
The Saturday Night Ghost Club by Craig Davidson
Great list, I’m ashamed to say I’ve only read one of these so far but I have a couple of others on my TBR. Ghost Story seems to be one of the must reads of the horror genre so I really hope to try it sometime. I have all of S.A. Barnes space horrors to check out sometime and I also majorly need to read C.J. Cooke other books having adored the one I tried. Out of the ones you’ve already read on your list do you have a favourite?
I would say my favorites are Ghost Mother, Ghost Station and the Warm Hands of Ghosts:-)
I actually have four of these on my TBR!
Oh cool, I hope you get to read them!
Great list! I read 20th Century Ghosts and Head Full of Ghosts.
I haven’t actually read those two, but I do have copies:-)
I love your choice of word for this prompt! Ghost Eaters still is the cover I find the creepiest ever. Brrr!
Thanks Stephanie!
I’ve read three from your list but there are a few on here that I would love to make time for. Great choice of word. I totally forgot about ‘Ghost’.
Lynn 😀
Ghost just happened to be a popular word in my “read” books:-)
It makes me happy to see The Warm Hands of Ghosts, Ghost Camera, and Ghost Station on your list!
All fantastic books:-)
The Saturday Night Ghost Club looks such fun!
I read it years ago, but I really enjoyed it!
I don’t know if I’ve read a single book with Ghost in the title! (Not surprising since I don’t do horror) Great word choice though! It fits right in with your summer of horror!
It definitely felt like the right word, plus I happen to have read lots of books with “ghost” in the title:-)
Oh, “ghost” is a nice pick for this prompt and ties in nicely with your horror theme, hehe. I’m tempted to try The Warm Hands of Ghosts…
It was so good. I do love her writing.
Funny, you commented you would not read my book with fire ants. Well, as soon as I see the word ghost in a title or synopsis, I usually run far away, lol
LOL!!
Only a couple of these are familiar to me. But now I’m thinking I want to do a Top Ten Tuesday once a month that is just a “word” in the title that corresponds to that month, and that I want to do ghost in October! lol. Great list!
Yes, great idea Lisa!
I surprisingly have not read that many ghost-titled books. I’ve only picked up two of these. Great choice for this week!
Thanks Alicia!
Ghosty books are my favs. I loved Ghost Station and am a fan of Darcy Coates, too, though I haven’t read Ghost Camera yet. Fun list!
I love Darcy Coates, and I need to find more of her books:-)
You are speaking my language over here. I love a ghost story!! I am reading a Darcy Coates right now. I need to remember to Summer of Horror next year. I love reading horror in the summer.
Oh cool! I’d love to have you join. You can still join in this summer if you want! (It goes through August)
Ghost Story by Peter Straub is a classic I’ve yet to read.
I read it a long time ago, I’d love to do a reread.
You’re going to LOVE, “The Warm Hands of Ghosts”!
I’ve already read it, it was fantastic!
Oddly enough, none of the ghost stories I’ve read have ghost in the title. I keep hearing great things about The Warm Hands of Ghosts though, and I really need to bite the bullet. That time period historically hasn’t interested me, but when it gets universal praise its a sign I’ll probably enjoy it.
Fun list! They all look like proper horror books so I probably won’t read any, but it’s fun to see how much the covers vary. I would tend to expect foggy / gray covers for ghost books.
The Warm Hands of Ghost was so good!
I would have thought I would have read more of these but nope, only three. Great choices though!
