HORROR MAYHEM WRAP-UP! | A massive month of short horror fiction Alex Unabridged 2024-06-16 | It’s time to go thru all the fabulous horror I read for the brilliant Horror MAYhem event! Loads of short novels and short stories kept me entertained and spooked during the month!Drop your thoughts in the comments!Thanks for watching, as alway :-)*I was very sorry to hear the news that Scott Bryant (who along with his wife Becky at @thebookishbryants created this wonderful horror reading event) sadly passed away this week. My thoughts go out to Becky and to all of Scott’s friends in the BookTube community. There’s a GoFundMe campaign running to help Becky covering costs after Scott’s loss, please consider donating if you’re able.* gofund.me/3bcea55a Channels mentioned:@CliffsDarkGems - link to Cliff’s thoughts on Dolly by Susan Hill youtu.be/bgSDE27n6zU?si=SAXcMinGihxDrg6mMy month with… Eric LaRocca: youtu.be/fxxxPyiEcLw?si=Nw27Mi68GjT4VdsJJoin me on Discord for more bookish ramblings: discord.gg/mASFajRnA2YouTube Subscribe Animation by YR Designshttps://rb.gy/dn2tvsMusic Credit (Intro sequence)Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):uppbeat.io/t/kidcut/move-with-meLicense code: WF93PAMJWM6ZDUK7
