Blogiversary Giveaway #18: Win a Halloween bundle & spooky book of your choice

It's time for the final giveaway of this year's blogiversary celebrations and it's only fitting that since today is Halloween to have a Halloween themed prize package of some Halloween sweets & chocolate, mini Horror themed bookmarks but have also decided to offer the winner a choice of a spooky/horror paperback book of their choice.


As I'm not a fan of scary books I asked on Twitter for some suggestions so these are just a few of the book that were suggested that you might want to consider or you can ignore all of these and choose a different book (up to a value of £7.)

Say Her Name by James Dawson

Drip...drip...drip...In five days, she will come...

Roberta 'Bobbie' Rowe is not the kind of person who believes in ghosts. A Halloween dare at her ridiculously spooky boarding school is no big deal, especially when her best friend Naya and cute local boy Caine agree to join in too. They are ordered to summon the legendary ghost of Bloody Mary: say her name five times in front of a candlelit mirror, and she shall appear...But, surprise surprise, nothing happens. Or does it?

Next morning, Bobbie finds a message on her bathroom mirror - five days - but what does it mean? And who left it there? Things get increasingly weird and more terrifying for Bobbie and Naya, until it becomes all too clear that Bloody Mary was indeed called from the afterlife that night, and she is definitely not a friendly ghost. Bobbie, Naya and Caine are now in a race against time before their five days are up and Mary comes for them, as she has come for countless others before..

This House is Haunted by John Boyne

1867. On a dark and chilling night Eliza Caine arrives in Norfolk to take up her position as governess at Gaudlin Hall. As she makes her way across the station platform, a pair of invisible hands push her from behind into the path of an approaching train. She is only saved by the vigilance of a passing doctor.

It is the start of a journey into a world of abandoned children, unexplained occurrences and terrifying experiences which Eliza will have to overcome if she is to survive the secrets that lie within Gaudlin’s walls…
