Today we are joined by Mary of BookHounds

I have pulled together a list of three books that have scary dogs (or werewolves – which in my opinion, are still dogs since they are in the canine family).

The first book in this list has to be Cujo by Stephen King. That rabid monster is probably the scariest thing I have ever read. King brings the mental breakdown of a dog to life and the fight between human and nature becomes all too real. You will avoid dogs after reading this one. Read more

One of the best parts of the Halloween season, besides all the epic horror films that are due out in theaters, are all the movies played on the telly. Two of my favorite networks (and no, I’m not getting paid to say this lol) are having some events I want to let everyone know about.

Ghoul Britannia on BBC America
“All month long tune in for a series of movies starring some of cinema’s scariest, most vile monsters, both human and alien, including the network television premiere of Johnny Depp in Tim Burton’s Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. Plus, get ready for Viewers’ Choice Saturdays – it’s your chance to vote on what you think are the scariest shows and villains in the BBC America library, and we’ll put the winners on the air. It all leads up to a week-long Halloween party featuring marathons of Star Trek and Being Human! Check the full schedule for additional show times.” (from BBCAmerica.com)

Big Bad Werewolf Week on Chiller TV
Chiller TV by definition plays “Scary Good” programming 24/7, but they are doing something a little special this month and having one whole week dedicated to Werewolves. It’s like they know how to make me happy or something…

• October 4th (5pm – 1am) – episodes of Wolf Lake
• October 5th (8pm – 2am) – Hellhounds and Cerberus
• October 6th (8pm – 2am) – The Beast of Bray Road and Dog Soldiers
• October 7th (8pm – 2am) – Werewolf Hunter and Howling 2: Your Sister is a Werewolf
• October 8th (8pm – 2am) – Werewolf: The Devil’s Hound and Skinwalkers

and last, but certainly not least…

Hammer Horror – Fridays in October on Turner Classic Movies
“Join us as we present 20 key titles from the British studio that revitalized the horror genre in the fifties with such classics as The Curse of Frankenstein (1957) and Horror of Dracula (1958).” (from TCM.com)

Today’s topic is “A show that you wish more people were watching”. My answer? Being Human.

Being Human is a British supernatural drama/comedy series about three twenty-somethings–Mitchell (Aidan Turner), George (Russell Tovey) and Annie (Lenora Crichlow)–who want nothing more in the world than to be a part of normal society. Problem is, while they share a house in Bristol and work day jobs, they are far from what you might call normal. Mitchell is a vampire, George is a werewolf and Annie is a ghost.

The Characters
Mitchell is not the stereotypical sauve, arrogant ass that has come to be synonymous with vampire these days (though he does have that tall, dark and remarkably handsome thing going on lol). He is a sweet, caring bloke and someone everyone would love to have as a friend (just don’t for the love of all that’s holy, get on his bad side). Mitchell is a “vegan” vampire but it’s not near as annoying as with the Cullens (Twilight) or Stefan Salvatore (The Vampire Diaries). I’d say Mitchell is an exception because well … you’ll see. Let’s just say, he shows us how bloody hard it is to actually stay on the wagon. Pun intended. Read more

Her Vampire Husband (Wicked Games, #3) by Michele Hauf. © 2010 HQN Books. ISBN 9780373774999. Paranormal Romance. 360 pages. $7.99 US [ Purchase ] Source: eARC from author

Synopsis: An arranged marriage between a werewolf and a vampire.  There will be blood.  She may resist his bite, but she can’t resist his charms…

Werewolf princess Blu Masterson won’t allow her seductive vampire husband to consummate their marriage with his bite, marking her forever. Alone in a secluded estate with her sworn enemy, Blu curses the marriage arranged to bring their rival nations together, especially since Creed Saint-Pierre calls out to her most feral desires.

When Blu uncovers her pack’s secret plot to destroy the vampire nation—and Creed—she is forced to confront her growing feelings for her sexy undead husband. Will she choose the only life she’s ever known or accept his vampire bite?

Review: At first glance Her Vampire Husband seems deceptively simple, boy meets girl, girl hates boy, boy makes girl love him despite all odds.  But there is so much more to the story. Read more
