This year’s Readers Imbibing Peril challenge was another fun reading experience for me. I do love this yearly ritual of celebrating everything spooky and mysterious in our reading! This was the sixteenth year for this challenge, originally started by Carl V. Anderson, (@Stainless Steel Droppings) and I hope it goes on for many more years.
I found a lot of enjoyable reading and watching for the challenge this year! Here is a list of the books and short stories I read, and the films/series we watched for RIP XVI:
Peril of the Fiction:
- Mrs. Pollifax and the Second Thief, by Dorothy Gilman
- Devil in a Blue Dress, by Walter Mosley
- Pietr the Latvian, by George Simenon
- The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, by Washington Irving
- Bury Your Dead, by Louise Penny
- The Amethyst Box, by Anna Katharine Green
Peril of the Short Story:
- Hero, by Susan Hill
- A Christmas Tragedy, by Baroness Orczy
- One More Body in the Pool, by Ray Bradbury
- An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge, by Ambrose Bierce
- Sherlock Holmes: The Affair of the Christmas Jewel, by Barry Roberts
Peril of the Screen:
You did very well with this challenge, Robin! Bury Your Dead is one of my favorites in that series. Someday, I hope to go back and listen to the entire series on audiobook.
