Thursday 10: Horror Authors to Read if You Love Stephen King

I’m an over-caffeinated and color-obsessed bibliophile and Buffy the Vampire Slayer enthusiast, with a deep love of lists & organization. I blog, write book reviews and make “artsy stuff”, like painting & embroidery!

How pretty is this cover? I wasn't sure what to expect from this one by @haileypiperfights, but I was NOT disappointed! 5 big beautiful stars for this novella!⁠ ⁠ I read this one with some of the @night_worms crew in our #anightwormpossessed readalong, and it's always a great time being a part of these! Having a group of people to read things with is part of why I joined the community in general, and my Night Worms family is wonderful!⁠ ⁠ If you're looking for a short & incredibly unique possession novella, look no further! Check this one out - it's available as an eBook and as a paperback.⁠ ⁠ This also technically works for Day 12 of the #nightwormschallenge - Faces on the Cover! It's an animal's face, but that still counts, right? Hahah.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #booklover #thepossessionofnatalieglasgow #haileypiper #bookcollector #horrorbooks #novellas #horrornovellas #constantreader #bookworm #bookshark #booknerd #bookish #bookaesthetic #rainbowbookflatlay #flatlaybooks

I'm trying to get back on track with my #nightwormschallenge November posts, but I forgot today's - even though I had the photo prepped & ready all week, ugh! Even though I already posted today, I'm posting again!⁠ ⁠ I was tagged by @carissa_reads, @kamis_korner, @pageandparlor and I think someone else but it's not in my tags (maybe it was in the caption??) so I forget, sorry!! - for the #barebookstack! This is a stack of bare books without their cover jackets, and of course I went with a colorful sort of theme.⁠ ⁠ Green & yellow spine books were hardest for me to find!! I also apparently don't own a huge amount of hardcovers (especially outside of my Book of the Month collection).⁠ ⁠ Today's prompt is Day 11: NAKED BOOKS!⁠ •⁠ •⁠ •⁠ #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bibliophile #bookworm #booklover #bookstack #rainbowbooks #rainbowbookstack #rainbowshelfie #rainbowbookshelf #bookcollector #constantreader #booknerdigan #booknerd #bookloversofig #bookrainbow⁠

How freaking gorgeous is this book!? It was a birthday gift from my boyfriend, and it's one of my favorite King covers that I own!⁠ ⁠ Does anyone else collect the Barnes & Noble "leather bound classics editions"? I don't have a lot of them, but couldn't pass this one up! I actually went to two different locations to find it, and had them put it on hold in between so it wouldn't get sold!⁠ ⁠ Of these, I've actually only read Carrie! Don't @ me, bros - I have a lot of King books, and am slowly but surely making my way through, I promise. I like to vary my reading a lot though, and I've found so many wonderful authors in the last couple years that I've gotta spread the love!⁠ ⁠ If anyone was interested, I was planning on reading The Shining for the first time next month! Would anyone wanna participate in an official readalong? 🤔⁠ ⁠ #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #stephenking #constantreader #booklover #barnesandnoble #leatherboundclassics #stephenkingbooks #rainbowbookshelf #bookshelf #shelfie #rainbowshelfie #bookcollector #booklover #bookworm #booknerd

Looking for something new to spice up your #bookstagram photos? Or maybe looking for something to use in a giveaway, or as a gift for a bookstagram-loving pal?⁠ ⁠ I sell these sets of Bookstagram Hashtag bookmarks in my Etsy! I also sell a Hamilton musical bookmark set - if you're into that sort of thing (which I very much am - tbh, I created a majority of my designs and bookmarks just 'cause they're things I loved and wanted to use or have around!)⁠ ⁠ I'm also doing a giveaway over on Twitter right now where if you subscribe to my newsletter, you'll be entered to win one of TWO (2!) prizes for $10 gift certificates in my Etsy shop! So go enter - my Twitter is @ ctrlaltcassie!⁠ ⁠ What other hashtag-type things do you think would make good bookmarks? I may add a customizable option once I go back to 3 jobs and have a bit more free time, so you can pick and choose what you want your set to say! 🤔⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #bookmarks #makersgonnamake #shescrafty #shophandmade #smallbusiness #indiebusiness #artstagram #bookstagrammer #booklover #bookishmerch #bookish #bookshark #bookworm #booknerd #booknerdigan #currentlyreading #bookhaul #bookreview #girlswhoread

I NEED EVERYONE TO READ THIS BOOK. I finished it a week or two ago on my Kindle, and immediately bought the physical version 'cause I knew I needed to own it and have it on my shelves.⁠ •⁠ I love the cover so much! Those colors are so pretty, right? Ahhh!⁠ •⁠ The story is also amazing - I was immediately pulled in, and didn't put the book down except to drive somewhere once I started it. The dialogue is great, the characters are well developed and fun to read, and the story is just so good. There are a couple twists, and I had no idea how things would be wrapped up, but I looooved it so much.⁠ •⁠ I'll have a full review up on my blog soon, but for now: get this one! You can get it on Kindle Unlimited, or just buy a copy so it can look pretty on your shelves when you're done reading!⁠ •⁠ •⁠ •⁠ #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #booklover #bookworm #bookshark #bookcollector #crickethunters #horrorfiction #supporthorror #silvershamrockpublishing #constantreader #bookcollector #jeremyhepler #booklove #bookaesthetic #indiehorror #rainbowshelfie #rainbowbookshelf #rainbowbooks

How cute is this little Doctor Who set? The collection is called the Time Lord Fairy Tales, and includes a bunch of little stories told to little time lords as children.⁠ ⁠ I loved the different stories, and love that each book is so beautifully illustrated and colored! Rainbow book stacks will always have my heart, and this slipcase edition is gorgeous!⁠ ⁠ Do you like Doctor Who? Which Doctor is your favorite? 9 is my forever fav, but there aren't any I particularly dislike. I just love 9's sassiness!⁠ ⁠ #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bibliophile #bookcollector #bookaesthetic #bookworm #booknerdigan #bookshark #constantreader #rainbowshelfie #rainbowbookshelf #rainbowbooks #doctorwho #doctorwhobooks #timelordfairytales #rainbowbookstack #booklover

Ever notice that some posts get way more likes than others? Stacks of Stephen King books, for example, do super well!⁠ •⁠ Meanwhile, books by lesser known authors receive less attention - and this can sometimes be disheartening, but look. Why did any of us join bookstagram to begin with? It wasn't to get followers or likes on our posts, really - it was to make bookish friends, and to talk about bookish stuff, right? I mean, that's why I joined - and why I'm still here!⁠ •⁠ So, here's a stack that likely won't get a bunch of likes on the post, but that I've been collecting since I was a teenager and have a special soft fondness for - despite that they're vampire/werewolf/creature-and-human erotic fiction very loosely disguised as a "feminist action packed thriller" series. 😂⁠ •⁠ Who else has read some of these? Or who else just really doesn't care if their post will get 50 likes or 500 -- they're gonna share the books they want to share!⁠ •⁠ •⁠ •⁠ #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bibliophile #bookworm #booklover #booknerdigan #bookshark #bookcollector #constantreader #anitablake #anitablakevampirehunter #laurellkhamilton #vampirebooks #horrorfiction #supernaturalbooks #ilovereading #booknerds #bookclubofig⁠

I couldn’t go with anyone else for my #nightwormschallenge Day 6 photo. The theme is One Author Book Stack, and I’ve been collecting these since I was 9 years old! 😍 • I was introduced to so many new things through Christopher Pike as a child by his books that I went on to learn more about as an adult, and it’s so cool being able to trace back certain interests or hobbies because of his stories! • My favorites are: Road to Nowhere, Bury Me Deep, The Immortal, and The Starlight Crystal! Horror and sci-fi and mythology, oh my! 💦💦💦 • Have you read any of my favs, or any of these in general? Tell me!! • • • #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bibliophile #bookworm #bookshark #booknerdigan #booklover #rainbowbookstack #rainbowbooks #rainbowbookshelf #rainbowshelfie #constantreader #bookaesthetic #christopherpike #christopherpikebooks

How cool is this cover? I got this book in my last @night_worms subscription package, and it's one I'm really looking forward to reading!⁠ •⁠ The collection features stories about witches and witchcraft by popular women authors - some popular horror favs in there as well, like Ania Ahlborn, Alma Katsu, and Jennifer McMahon. Amber Benson - Tara from Buffy!! - is also a contributing author! How cool is that?!⁠ •⁠ Supporting women writers is one of my favorite parts of being in the bookish community, primarily those who write horror! The writing industry - horror, sci-fi, and even fantasy - are so heavily dominated by male authors. Having more equal representation is amazing, and this special collection is exactly the kind of thing I'm proud to be a Night Worms supporter of!⁠ •⁠ Have you read this one yet? What are some other witch-y books you've loved?⁠ •⁠ •⁠ •⁠ #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #hexlife #witchybooks #constantreader #booklover #bookworm #bookshark #booknerd #rainbowshelf #rainbowbooks #rainbowshelfie #rainbowbookshelf #horrorfiction #womeninfiction #bookcollector #nightworms⁠
