The Sexy Nerd's Review...

My fans know how much I’m a sucker when it comes to reading a good horror book. I could read horror books all day every day, but I try to curb my enthusiasm until October. But this little gem came my way and I figured why not give it a go.
This is really a cute “horror” book. It’s not going to terrify you at night like say, The Exorcist would, but if you’re out camping with a group of your friends, these thirty-one stories would most definitely be high on your list to scare them.
What I most enjoyed were the differences between the stories and how some of them were funny, while others made you think a moment and some made you sad. One of my favorites was Man’s Best Friend. That ghost story resonated with me because I had a similar experience like the main character. I know many people do not believe in ghosts, but I definitely do. That was such a cute story and I enjoyed it.
There were some stories that gave me a chuckle. I noticed in the reviews many felt it wasn’t categorized correctly because I guess it’s being promoted as a graphic novel. I do have to agree with those reviewers because I wouldn’t classify this book as a graphic novel; however, I did enjoy the pictures that were drawn. In some of the stories, it helped to form an idea in the mind’s eye as to what the characters were experiencing. So, I did appreciate the drawings throughout the book.
There was another story, forgive me I can’t recall the title of the chapter, where the bride was waiting for her groom to meet her at the altar. That story made me feel a bit sad, but I totally understood why the story played out the way it did.
Overall, this was truly a cute horror book for teens and young adults. It’s safe enough that I highly doubt it would terrify them and cause them to jump under the covers with their parents and/or siblings. The stories were beautifully written and performed at the level at what you would expect from this type of ghost telling.
The Sexy Nerd gives 31 Days of Spooky four scary stars. Again, this is one of those books that would be impressive at a sleepover or sitting by a campfire with friends and trying to scare each other with. It’s safe for them to read and have fun. 31 Days of Spooky is on sale now at your favorite book retailers or wherever books are sold. Until next time, Nerds, you know how we do!
