Iris's Guide to Horror

Meet Iris: I have been working at libraries for the last eight years, and have loved books and reading since as long as I can remember.  Some of my favorite pastimes include hanging out with my children, reading books on various subjects (of course), relaxing at the beach, listening to music, watching movies, shopping for clothes and shoes, and much more. 

 

Meet her list:  Horror is one of my favorite genres, among others, and I think it began when as a child I honestly believed that I was living in a haunted house.  Since then I have been fascinated by ghosts and all things supernatural.  I read all that I could about ghosts and this led to a love of horror fiction.  The following are some of my favorites.
