I will start off with Dread Nation by Justina Ireland.

It has good reviews and an awesome cover. If it wins it can jump off my TBR into the read pile.

I am reading this one right now and it has a very very good creepy factor going on. But honestly all of her books Katie Alender have very good creepy vibes and kind of a gothic feel to them.

The book does look good, but it needs to be @ least 3 months old and it was released last month.

What about Jeyn Roberts horror Wendigo? Looks scary to me!

That book does not seem to be available easily. It was not available on Kindle or my local library. It should be a book group members have access to.

Can you nominate another book, possible by the same author?

I'd like to nominate , if it's not too late

I'm thinking if we don't get @ least 4 nominations by Sunday, we will cancel the October BOTM...
