Welcome New Members! (Intro Thread)

[Mary]

lol, thank you for the invite. Since recently retiring, I have returned to my love of reading, the scarier the better.

[Robert]

Jenna, welcome to the Scaredy Cat group. We like scary stuff along with a demented sense of humor, and of course fun. Tell us all about your life starting with the day you were born until now, and don't leave anything out.

[Robert]

Welcome new members Tracy, Laura-g, Karen T., Vincent and Emily. Introduce yourselves, or we will all show up at your houses for dinner, and you are on the menu!

[Gmaharriet]

Welcome to all of you who are new!

[Kathy]

Hi all! Welcome! :)

[Angela]

Hello all. My name is Angela. I live in Corpus Christi Tx. I'm a writer and book reviewer. I live with my husband and our little furry master, Scooter, a 5lb yorkie. We also have two other dogs but Master says they are canine non-grata so they shouldn't be named lol. We also have two turtles and two salt-water aquariums. We have a grown son who is married and lives too far away for me ;) We love to fish in the Gulf because ya know Jaws is out there! I spend my time dreaming up horrors or reading about them and nursing an unhealthy obsession with werewolves, cannibal redneck mutants, and all things Bruce Campbell.

[Robert]

Just joined our group Sylvia, Melany and Maya. Welcome, now tell us a little something about yourselves.

[Gmaharriet]

Welcome to our group, Angela. Yorkies are so cute.

[Kim]

Hey There! I'm Kimberly from Tennessee. Most of my time is spent working for a major retail store. But when I'm not working I love to read. I will read just about anything but romance. Just can't get into romance. I really love the scary books though.

[Gmaharriet]

Welcome Kimberly! Sounds like you'll fit right in with us. :)

[Robert]

Welcome Monica, Meghan, Maxine, Kimberly and Amy. Introduce yourselves and tell your deepest, darkest secrets. Were a nosy bunch of creeps.

[Melissa]

Hello I'm Missy, I love reading horror books more than watching them. I'm always looking for one scarier than the last. Any ideas?

[Robert]

Welcome Norma, JohnandMissy and Chuck. Missy, we have lots of good scary book recommendations throughout our group. John looks pretty scary to me, I would watch him if I were you. Norma and Chuck, spill your guts and tell us your life story. Were all ears, fangs and claws.

[Gmaharriet]

Hey! Welcome Missy! It's good to have you here with us.

[C.]

Hi thank you for the invite.

I enjoy most genres and take spells of reading several at a time in one,then will switch genres again.

I prefer all my books to be 'clean' G/PG reads.

Love horror/paranormal to be like ~ ,

My most recent spooky reads that I loved was~ ,sadly,I didn't care much for her other two books.Also enjoyed~ and now I am getting ready to reread the first two books in the Dreamhouse Kings series by Robert Liparulo,because when I read them,the other 5-books in the series hadn't been written yet,and now I want to read all of them.

I have been enjoying watching movies[like The Skeleton Key,and The Conjuring]for Halloween, so haven't read too much lately.

[Kellie]

The Ghost of Graylock sounds good.

[Kellie]

I'm glad you suggested it C.

[Bridget]

Hi, my names Bridget!
Funny thing about me is that I hate horror movies, haunted houses, etc. I'm not good at handling it or "seeing" it. BUT with that said I LOVE horror books. They're the majority of what I read. Im a weirdo. Im not picky, anything horror ill like.
Also, I love animals, am going to school for dog grooming and pet nutrition, then moving on to vet tech. I live with my fiance, Joshua, our dog, Holiday and 3 cats in Columbus, Ohio. I like reading (of course), playing video games, drinking coffee, napping and visiting my family. I'm scared of sharks, love cross stitching and am an avid star gazer. :)

[Robert]

[Annie A]

Hello all, and thank you Robert for the invite. I love horror, mystery, thrillers, fantasy, magic realism, much like new member Brenda, but I am a big wimp and hate gore! I don't comment often but rest assured I read everyone's comments especially book recommendations.

[Robert]

Fresh meat for the group. Welcome Tess, Joanne, Almeta and India. Hope you enjoy your stay and have fun. Please tell us something about yourselves, were dying to know. Oh, I forgot were already dead! Muhahahahaha

[Almeta]

I'm Almeta, currently living in Plymouth, Michigan, USA.

I generally announce that I am a mystery and suspense reader, yet find myself reading a wide range of genres. As soon as I say "I don't read that genre", someone is able to convince me otherwise. I am most stubborn about Bodice Rippers, so if you are going to convince me to read a romance, it better Really be good.

I enjoy Stephen King's writing style the best.

Michael McDowell wrote a series of books subtitled Blackwater, starting with The Flood that I thoroughly enjoyed. I will soon be reading his Cold Moon Over Babylon. Don't know why his writing is not more talked about.

Anne Rice captured my attention for a while with both her Vampire Chronicles
and Mayfair Witches series. I understand that there is a new vampire one out after all of these years. Will Prince Lestat still hold my interest?

I read Robert McCammon's Swan Song ages ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. Don't know why I didn't continue with him. I am planning to make up for lost time with his books.

In the meantime, I have been voyeuristically stealing er, borrowing books from Scaredy Cat members.. swelling my overstuffed virtual shelves!☻

[Robert]

Almeta, we won't try to convince you to read a romance novel. We can be morbid, evil and down right disgusting at times, but even we have our limits! Lol

[Almeta]

Robert wrote: "Almeta, we won't try to convince you to read a romance novel. We can be morbid, evil and down right disgusting at times, but even we have our limits! Lol"

But you see, for me, a Romance novel is truly a horror, so I needed to be sure!☺

[Kathy]

Welcome Almeta to this little shop of horrors, a place where heads aren't the only things that roll! I'm with you on the romance books, yech!

[Robert]

Our latest victims...uh members. Julia, Rachel, Becky and John. Welcome, and tell us a little about yourselves.

[Rhonda]

Hi everyone I'm Rhonda, thanks for the invite Robert. I live in too sunny Florida lol originally from the spooky NY! But we do have ghosts here too :) I really like the paranormal, literally just finished watching the movie Deliver Us From Evil. Loved it! Want to read more paranormal/ supernatural but open to all suggestions!

[Eric, The Crypt Keeper]

Ah... just the proverbial "skip and jump" north of me here in Tampa. You've probably seen me walking around at the Z-hills Motorcycles and Music fests numerous times over the last decade and never realized it was me. ;)

[Robert]

Welcome Lisa, Denise, Monique and another Denise.

[Polly]

Hey everyone! Topaz from England. I was naturally drawn to suspense and paranormal books as a kid. I just found them much more interesting and worth while than a lot of other reading materiel thrown at us in school. I was fascinated with a Hammer House of Horror book my Dad had which I regularly wondered at - especially because I was amazed at how they made the monsters soooooo cool. The photography sometimes made them look even more horrible - black and white with elongated shadows... creepy. Now I read alsorts of books but am always drawn to something supernatural/paranormal/suspense. Not really into the vampire/werewolf Young Adult stuff and I have found Stephen King quite difficult to get into but have recently tried to read him again and found him ok. Maybe I aught to read a few more of his books and I may change my mind about him. Recent scary books on shelf... and I've just downloaded a load of free ones on Amazon for my kindle through a site called Bookbub. Free and scary reads? Yes please!

[Robert]

Welcome KC, Kim and Topaz. Glad you could join and we hope you find some creepy, but interesting stuff. We look forward to your participation.

[Casey, The Executioner]

Thanks so much for inviting me Eric. It looks like you have a really great group of horrific people here...lol feels like home.

[Robert]

Welcome Ellena, Rachel, Stacy, Jane, Frank and Heather. Tell us something scary, or you can just tell us a little something about yourselves.

[Melissa]

hey guys sorry for the late intro. y'all sound like a fun bunch. I'm always in good mood for a scary book. Especially in the winter, the setting just gets me going. John is my husband he doesn't read :( but he loves to hear me talk about the books I read.

[Robert]

Thanks for the intro Melissa. We also have new members Desire', Tanya, Yvonne and Cait. Welcome to the group and introduce yourselves.

[Rhonda]

Eric wrote "Ah... just the proverbial skip and jump north of me here in Tampa", can we cue a spooky sounding It's A Small World song lol! Wow Eric, I'm literally 10mins from Festival Park! And yes, I have been at the car shows there many times, also attended a couple of the Livestock events yrs ago. Talk about seeing some of the walking dead! ;) Enjoyed seeing that when you wrote it!

[Robert]

Welcome Rose, Nanci, Stephanie and Megan. Tell us a little about the exciting lives you lead, or you can just make something up. That's what we did.

[Dana]

Sorry for the late into, but I'm Dana transplanted Texan now living in the beautiful state of Utah. I love reading/watching scary. Not sure what pleasure I get when I have to get up turn on the lights walk around the house make sure it's still ok, but I do.

[Megan]

Hi everyone! Thanks for the invite. I love horror, and recently jumped into the world of writing short horror fiction for a horror anthology series. I love to read and am always looking for something new and different. This group seems like it'll be a lot of fun.

[Holly]

Hi, I'm new here. I joined because it looks like this group has a great appreciation for the non-romance paranormal and supernatural types of horror. I love a good haunting themed horror novel as well as cosmic horror.
