One for the horror readers

If you're a horror reader looking for your next book, maybe the Monster Librarian can help you. I also like the monster librarian's philosophy on reading:

"My philosophy on reading is that not every book is everyone's cup of tea. If after the first few chapters of the book you aren't interested in the story then it might be time to put the book down and find another. You shouldn't feel guilty about putting a book down or not finishing it. It doesn't matter if that book is on the New York Times bestsellers list or if everyone you know raves about it and thinks it is the best thing on the planet. Your taste in reading is personal."
