Welcome to the challenge Renee and Alex ☺@Alex, I can remove this post if you want to reserve more spaces :)
I don't think I will need the extra space. I will use spoilers to keep my post from getting out of hand if GR will allow. I also did not feel like spelling out all of my words at one time and will add more words as necessary...but thank you for the thought.

Do short stories count? I'm currently reading a book by Richard Matheson that has several short stories that would work for the titles in Option 1.
Kelly wrote: "Do short stories count? I'm currently reading a book by Richard Matheson that has several short stories that would work for the titles in Option 1."Hm... How short? As far as I know minimum page count in one of our challenges is 100 pages. For most challenges in group we are going by 150-160 pgs even if that's not anywhere said.
Also are they tagged on GR as separate or are they published only as anthology? In first option, I'll leave it to you to decide if you'll use them or not. In second case you can use it only as anthology.
That said, I'm really leaving it to you to decide. This is fun game (and challenge) and nobody is going to check up on you. Unless they are looking for ideas. :)
I've decided I won't count them:-). A few are really short, and only one is tagged as separate (and, ironically, that one won't work for the challange anyway;-)!

So I list my fears from A to Z? One for each letter?"
First, welcome to the group bloodredroad ☺
If you want to do option 2 and spell out words, then yes, you list your fears from A to Z. You might also want to split them into more than one post (just in case)
If you are doing option 1, then you're using scary book titles only.
