Location: Neither here...nor there		Welcome to the challenge dustydigger!

I'm a huge fan of vamp lit. I used to read a lot vampire books but stopped reading them for awhile because they had gotten so trendy (coughtwilightcough). I don't think I've ever read anything with werewolves or zombies but have a few that I want to check out in this challenge.

Off to see what books you've selected!

Alright, I recently discovered I'll only have to add one or two books to make this list, so I'm down!

Location: Beaverton, Oregon, USA		Hi everyone! I've joined this challenge after realizing I've read books about vampires, werewolves, Grendel, and a gollum. I'm about halfway through another vampire book and will be reading a zombie novel next.

Location: Neither here...nor there		State of the Challenge (as of today Sept. 3)

6 participants
30 books read
18 books reviewed

3 participants have completed the challenge. The other three have each read 4 of the required 6 books.

I quite enjoyed A Taste of Blood Wine (vampire lit) but the other 3 books I've read were rather "meh." I have high expectations for the remaining two books - Fledgling by Octavia Butler (one of my favorite authors) and Sunshine by Robin McKinley (which won the Mythopoeic award).

Has everyone else been enjoying their time with monsters?
