Halloween Creatures Tag
How this tag works; you are given a word and a sentence that correlates to that word. You are to assign a book or a character from a book that you think fits the description. You must be completely honest. I tag everyone who wants to do this to do this. Obviously spoiler warnings.
Witch- A magical character or book: The first magical wizard to pop into my head is Nicholas Perevil from “The Witch Hunter” by Veronica Boeker. I love him to d e a t h.
Werewolf- The perfect book to read at night: “Ms. Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children” by Ransom Riggs. It’s creepy, but not so scary it’ll give you nightmares. Such an amazing book.
Frankenstein- A book that really shocked you: “The Knife of Never Letting Go” by Patrick Ness. There wasn’t necessarily a huge plot twist, but it was so drastically different than any of Ness’s other works that it shocked me. Everything I didn’t expect (in a good way).
The Devil- A dark, evil character: Trellis from “Amulet” by Kazu Kibuishi. I don’t think I’d consider Trellis *evil*, but he is definitely a dark, creepy character.
Grim Reaper- A character that never should have died: I couldn’t choose between 2, so Uriah from “Divergent” by Veronica Roth, and Snape from “Harry Potter” by J.K. Rowling. (I will literally fight anyone, Snape was the best character in Harry Potter.)
Zombie- A book that made you hungry for more: “The Witch Hunter” by Veronica Boeker. (I know I keep going on about this book, I apologize lmao. This won’t be the last time either.)
Gargoyle- A character you’d protect at all costs: THIS is the last time I bring up “The Witch Hunter”, I promise. George from “The Witch Hunter”, and Simon Snow from “Carry On” by Rainbow Rowell. (I couldn’t pick sksksk)
Vampire- A book that sucked the life out of you: “A Monster Calls” by Patrick Ness. I relate so closely to the story, and I think Patrick Ness did an astounding job at describing and illustrating (figuratively AND literally) what it’s like to lose a loved one from cancer.
Ghost- A book that still haunts you: The first book that popped into my mind I completely forgot the title and the author, so I’ll go with my second choice, which is “Out of my Mind” by Sharon Draper.
Skeleton- A character you have a bone to pick with: 100% Regine from “More Than This” by Patrick Ness. She really annoys the ever living shit out of me and I don’t know why. Maybe because she reminds me of myself ksksksk.
Demon- A book that really scared you: “The Black Book of Secrets” by F.E. Higgins and “My Friend Dahmer” by Derf Backderf. I had to narrow it down to 2.
Mummy- A book you’d preserve throughout time: “Guardians of Ga’Hoole” by Kathryn Lasky. For such an odd reason. It’s so nostalgic and important to me because when I was younger I found entertainment and love through books. One of the first series I got in to. I haven’t read it in years, but there’s a special place in my heart for those books.
Creepy Doll- A cover too scary to look at: “The Vivisector” by Patrick White. To be fair, I have no clue what this book is about and I have never read it in my life. But the cover is fucking disgusting and makes me squirm in my seat everytime I look at it.
