Quixotic - I thought about doing the same but decided to wait; thanks for your comments on the list, I was aiming for variety.... Susan - I've read the first Merrily Watkins and am looking forward to the remainder; I've read several of Rickman's other books and chilling is an excellent word to describe thhem. I've only got 100 pages of The Terror to go and I'm really impressed; I'll be very interested to hear what you think.

I hope you like MIdwinter of the Spirit. I love all the Merrily Watkins books, and some are very eerie and have chilling moments. You and I both have The Terror (I'm hoping to read it this weekend while my husband watches all the World Cup qualifier matches on tv! We apparently get 5!!!) and Duma Key, which I've requested in pb and is due early Oct.....this is a really good list you have, Bride!

As far as The Graveyard Book goes, I'm far too impatient and am going to get my copy from the US. Excellent list, I found Heart Shaped Box truly enjoyable and am reading Joe Hill's 20th Century Ghosts for the challenge. Your list reminded me, I really need to gra a copy of Duma Key! Nice list!
