Horror Mayhem 2025: Decades of Dread
This event sounded too good to pass up, so I've decided to join in the fun for Horror Mayhem 2025. This is a BookTube event created by @thebookishbryants and the event this year is dedicated to the memory of Scott Bryant. This year's theme: Decades of Dread. The focus is on reading horror short stories and novels under 200-250 pages, emphasizing different decades. Since I like old stuff, I'll mostly be focusing on short stories and novellas from the 19th and 20th centuries (though it's possible that something of more recent vintage might creep in).
