I haven’t done this tag in three years, so I thought now is the perfect time to bring it back! For each prompt I’m highlighting two books: one I’ve read and one on my TBR. I’m crediting Maddalena for the tag, although she’s sadly no longer blogging.
Read: The Buffalo Hunter Hunter by Stephen Graham Jones. A very different, very violent and very powerful vampire tale, written by one of my favorite writers.
Want to read: Milkteeth by Caitlin Starling. This is coming up on my TBR next month, and I can’t wait!
Read: Newbourne Park by Jennifer Thorne. This is a unique werewolf tale full of surprises, and it’s one of Thorne’s best.
Read: If We Survive the Night by Jo Salazar. I really enjoyed this YA zombie story, where the zombies aren’t nearly as dangerous as one of the characters.
Want to read: My Life as a White Trash Zombie by Diana Rowland. I’ve been wanting to read this for years, I’ve heard so many good things about it.
Want to read: This is Not an Exorcism by Ivy Fang. I can’t wait to read this horror debut about a con woman who finds herself faced with a real ghost.
Read: Crone by Keith Rosson. I cheating a bit and using the definition of a “crone” as a witch. In any case, this book was absolutely fantastic!
Want to read: Kill Me With Fire by Chris Panatier. I’m so excited for Chris’s upcoming witch-centric novel!
Read: The Tricky Business of Faerie Bargains by Reena McCarty. I had a lot of fun with this series opener about a woman whose job is to create bargains between humans and faeries, with plenty of twists.
Read: The Calamities by Chuck Wendig. This is the start to a series, a sprawling horror story about a family who worships demons. Lots of fun!
Want to read: Hell to Pay by Kylie Lee Baker. I am a huge fan of Baker, and her next book deals with a demon-infested apartment and the residents who must deal with it.
Read: The Bones Beneath My Skin by T.J. Klune. This was my first T.J. Klune book and I loved the unique combination of elements, including aliens.
Want to read: Envoy by Yume Kitasei. I love Kitasei’s brand of science fiction, and her upcoming book involves a first contact storyline.

This is such a fun tag! And I love the combo of a book read and a book from your TBR!
White Trash Zombie is a nice series (that I should finish, because I started ages ago and, as per usual, I keep getting distracted). Anyway, it is fun, and I am curious to see what you will think of it!
And there are a couple of covers that are really eye-catching! Like Hell To Pay and Kill Me With Fire!
Looove this tag! And I see some books I want to read. The Buffalo Hunter Hunter, Milk Teeth, Newbourne Park, The Calamities
My Life As A White Trash Zombie was a lot of fun – I still need to finish the series one of these days. ☺️
Baker is turning books out like crazy! I’ll be excited for this one too, as well as (obviously) the next Panatier! I haven’t even read Worry Box yet but it’s coming up soon hopefully
This looks fun! I’m not sure I’d have answers for all of them, but I am planning to try!
What a great tag. I shall have to have a go at this one – it’s definitely the best month to do so.
I love your answers. Lets see what I can come up with.
Lynn 😀
Ooh great tag, especially for this time of year. I love how you’ve included a read and TBR option for each prompt too. I adored The Buffalo Hunter Hunter and cant wait to hear what you think of Milkteeth. Newbourne Park is a definite must read for me soon and I’m majorly intrigued by Kill Me With Fire and Envoy. I have a fair few of these on my TBR though. I also think I have a read option for each too, although only one is coming to mind zombie wise.
White Trash Zombie is amazing. I loved every minute. You should try it.
I haven’t heard of this tag, but it looks like so much fun! Very intrigued by Milk Teeth and that cover! I haven’t heard of Kill Me with Fire, so will have to find out more.
Some of these are on my list and many more will be now! The Sun Down Motel was creepy. I need to post my review. And I loved My Life As A White Trash Zombie!
I think I added If We Survive the Night after seeing your review of it. I remember being very curious about it, so I’ll read it one of these days.
I love this!! I just added a few to my list!!!
Great tag! I just read Worry Box not too long ago so excited to see the author have a new book coming out. Yes! you definitely have to read White Trash Zombie – I loved the entire series and she is one of the best characters ever!
This looks like a fun tag but I don’t think I’d be able to fill all of it out because I don’t read a ton of horror! Idk I could try!
I believe we get “Envoy” in early 2027!
I keep forgetting about The Bones Beneath My Skin, but it’s one I want to read! It sounds really interesting, and I’ve been meaning to read more of Klune’s books.
Ooh, I really like this tag! I’m going to try to do it later this month I think. And I definitely recommend reading the White Trash Zombie series. We did that for the read-along 2 years ago I think? It was so much fun!
I adored The Sun Down Motel and the Bones beneath my skin!
Brilliant tag! If I manage to join in with this tag, I’ll let you know:)). I completely agree with the Reena McCarty book – I think it’s probably going to make my Outstanding Reads of 2026 and I’m also very keen to read the sequel. And I’m also looking forward to getting hold of Envoy as Yumi Kitasei is an incredible writer.
Such a fun tag! I love that you shared both a favorite you’ve already read and one on your TBR.
