Happy Tuesday and welcome back to Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish! This week's topic is Unique Book Titles - I'm going to narrow it down to horror titles for Halloween. All of these I enjoyed (except for Jojo's - that was just a bit too bizarre for me), and my reviews are linked. Without further ado, here we go:
My Best Friend's Exorcism by Grady Hendrix
Only the Dead Know Burbank by Bradford Tatum
The Summer That Melted Everything by Tiffany McDaniel
Down with the Shine by Kate Karyus Quinn
The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan
Harrison Squared by Daryl Gregory
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Part 1 - Phantom Blood, Vol. 1 by Hirohiko Araki
Night Film by Marisha Pessl
The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman
I Saw Zombies Eating Santa Claus by S.G. Browne
Have you tried any of these horror novels? As always thanks for visiting my blog and perhaps commenting down below!
The only one on your list I've heard of is Night Film! It was really making the blogosphere rounds back when it released. Don't really remember what it's about but I will say - THAT COVER is spot on perfect. :)
ReplyDeleteIt was so intense! :D
DeleteThanks for coming over, Rissi!
I found this week's topic to be a little tricky. so I altered it a bit.

Also, Jojo's is the strangest anime ever to exist.
You know, I don't think I could deal with the anime... :D
DeleteBest Friend's Exorcism was awesome, and yes, the title is definitely unique!

Yay! I'm glad you liked it too, Cora!
DeleteGosh you have some fantastic books there, Lauren! I didn't know some of them were even horror. And the others, I've never heard of them, except for Neil Gaiman's .... is that because I'm a Brit? lol
ReplyDeleteCould be! :D
DeleteGreat picks!! I still need to get around to reading The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman! And oh my gosh, I Saw Zombies Eating Santa Claus looks awesome! :)
ReplyDeleteYou know I totally wouldn't say no to more from Gaiman on that one - the Hempstock women are awesome!
DeleteThat Zombies one - I lucked out and won that on Goodreads ages ago... :)
I've read Ocean at the End of the Lane and Night Film. I WANT to read Down With the Shine!! thanks for sharing. :)

Down with the Shine is so much fun! I hope you like it when you get to it!
DeleteLove these titles! Zombies Eating Santa Claus. Haha.
ReplyDeleteI have read a couple: The Ocean at the End of the Lane and Night Film. Both great books, I thought.
Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for coming over!
DeleteTheses titles are certainly unique! Here is our Top Ten Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteFor sure!
DeleteThanks for sharing.
Oh no...zombies ate Santa. That's just wrong. LOL
ReplyDeleteI'll be back with Tuesday Memes next month.

Well, not quite but either way it just isn't right! :D
DeleteI love the list. They do sound crazy when you read them like this. I didn't do horror for my list but yours make for a more fun experience. Come peek at mine if you find time.

I know right!
DeleteThanks for sharing, Belinda. :)
I have The Forest of Hands and Teeth sitting on my TBR shelf right now. I mostly bought it because of the title . . .
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
I don't blame you for that!
DeleteI'm so sad I wasn't able to fit in My Best Friend's Exorcism this month. I love The Ocean at the End of the Lane. Why are so many Neil Gaiman titles so charming?
ReplyDeleteYou totally just need to pick it up anyway, Alicia! :)
DeleteNeil Gaiman is one of those author's that I will read regardless.
Am I the only one who started singing "I Saw Zombies Eating Santa Claus"? Great list - if you want to, check out mine here: https://clockworkbibliotheca.blogspot.com/2017/10/top-ten-unique-book-titles.html
ReplyDeleteDefinitely not!
DeleteThanks for sharing!
What a great list! I’ve never heard of most of these and I’m so intrigued, which is good because that’s pretty much the whole point. 😂
ReplyDeleteThe only one I know is Neil Gaiman’s (love him) Ocean at the End of the Lane. So many people have told me it’s good, but I haven’t taken the plunge yet. I’m glad they weren’t wrong!
You've got a great place to start if you're looking for great horror books, then! :)
DeleteGaiman has become one of those authors that I'll read no matter what, personally!
I actually own a copy of the Zombie book - I need to pull it out to read this Christmas. Great list. I think the cover of the Burbank book is my favorite and what an awesome title!
ReplyDeleteGreat list! Also, I haven't heard of many of these books, so thanks for mentioning them.
ReplyDeleteThe Summer That Everything Melted doesn't even sound like a horror title. XD I don't know. Maybe it means more after you read the book?
ReplyDeleteSome of these sound amazing and the last made me laugh!!
