Sorry for the unannounced break during summer, but the Reading Guild is back! And since October is known for being the creepy Halloween month, …

Theme: horror

Read and review anything that’s a book – novels, comics, mangas, graphic novels, poem collections, scripts, short stories, zines, et cetera. (Audiobooks count too, of course!).

How to take part

  • Write a review of a/multiple book/s where horror (general) is part of the plot.
  • Post the review here on Pending Plays. (New here? Check out this page: https://pendingplays.co.uk/register-to-review/)
  • Add the tag BookGuildOctober2025 to your post

Rules

  • Read the book in October (it can be a volume from a series you’re currently reading, but shouldn’t be a re-read)
    • Doesn’t have to be too graphic, can be children’s horror too.
  • Timeframe to read and review: 1st to 31st October 2025
    • (If you happen to be busy in October, don’t worry about posting your review after the timeframe! We’re not that strict here!)

Make sure to join our Discord and get the Book Guild role, to not miss out on any announcements or other info!


Looking forward to your reviews!
