The ghost, ghouls and goblins have come out to play. Thirteen has always been a superstitious number ( my favorite... what does that say about me? lol).

For this Challenge you must fight your way through 13 terrifying types/genre of literature. Can you make it through them all?

1. The Ghastly Goblin - A children's bedtime story/book
2.The Gruesome Ghost - A folktale / folklore
3. The Gross Ghoul - A Poem
4. The Vicious Vampire - A Short Story
5. The Wicked Werewolf - A Comic Book
6. The Groaning Gravedigger - Fiction

11. The Creepie Crawlies - Young Adult
12. The Creepy Clown - A Classic
13. The Mysterious Mummy - A Re-Read

14. Safe Zone - Relaxation

The rules are simple. Go through as many monstrous monstrosities as possible. Fight till the death to make it tot he Safe Zone. You are able to double, tripe, quadruple up! For example: I am re-reading The Maze Runner; that is Fiction, Young Adult, a Re-Read and Fantasy. Damn, I'm good!
