Stainless Steel Droppings hosts the RIP Challenge every autumn, and I'm finally joining.
Here are the details:
Sept. 1 is right around the corner. It is time to begin.
Mystery. Suspense. Thriller. Dark Fantasy. Gothic. Horror. Supernatural.

Peril the Second:
Read two books of any length that you believe fit within the R.I.P. categories:
Mystery.
Suspense.
Thriller.
Dark Fantasy.
Gothic.
Horror.
Supernatural.
I will be reading Blackfin Sky by Kat Ellis and Feed by Mira Grant.
