Short Story Peril: In Carl's words:
More than any other time of the year, R.I.P. season brings out my desire to explore the short story genre. We will again do Short Story Sundays, for those of you who read R.I.P. related short stories any time during the week and want to write about them. I know I have Lovecraft, Poe, and Angela Carter waiting in the wings for my short story reading.
I am very bad at completing challenges. Therefore, I don't do many challenges, maybe upto three. However, I am joining in again this year.I have a few mysteries/suspense/thrillers lined up.And I read Faces In the Fire by T L Hines couple of days back and adding it to my reading count for the RIP IV, as I posted the review yesterday!

Oh, I should add Wait Until Twilight to my list as well! Great list, Gautami.
I am so glad you are joining in again this year. I probably have the wrong attitude about challenges, but I don't care if anyone finishes or not, for me it is all about the act of participation and getting together anyway, so thanks for diving in with us again this year.
I loved Child 44 and The Likeness. You have a great list, and totally undestand why you would pick this challenge as of one of the few you participate in! I'm going to have to keep a special stack in the corner for future RIP challenges!
Fragile Things was pretty good. There were some great stories and a couple I wasn't to sure about. But you can't go wrong with Neil Gaiman.
Therea re couple here I haven't heard of, I need to look those up!
Good luck!
Fabulous this! I hadn't heard of Wait Until Twilight before, may have to add it to my list!
Can't wait to join this one too.
Good luck and have fun!
Looks like a great list. Have fun with the challenge.
I would love to join this challenge, however there's a very close deadline and I don't think I could finish with all the other challenges I got! lol. Enjoy reading though. I love reading spooky books around Halloween :)
Great list! RIP is just such a fantastic challenge, isn't it? :)
have fun, its a great challenge :O)

It's irresistable challenge, isn't it? :)
We just can't resist this challenge, can we? :)
I enjoyed The Likeness! I look forward to your review on it!
Enjoy!
oh great choice of Child 44 - I want to read that, too. and of course, the Gaiman. I have the Tana French book and have only read Rebecca from your list! so many great choices...
Wow, this is a great list! I'll have to bookmark this page in case I want to steal any of your ideas :-)
Ohhhh...Child 44 and The Likeness. I had forgotten about those. Good choices.
Great list! I've just started Child 44 and am loving it. I really want to read some Tana French too.
Enjoy your books! I am having a hard time not quitting the book I am in right now just to start on my RIP reads. :) As you saw, I have plenty of them!
I can't wait to read your reviews for any of these. I'm really looking forward to this challenge. :-D
Rebecca is SUCH a great book!! It definitely makes the top ten of all-time favorites for me. It looks like you've got a great list going. This is going to be fun!
I'm bad at completing challenges too but I can't resist joining and especially this one!
I hope you have tons of fun. I read The Likeness last year and thought it was great by the way.
Rebecca is a great re-read. I'm re-reading We Have Always Lived in the Castle.
I don't know any of those but Rebecca! I'll have to read your reviews :)
Wait Until Twilight certainly fits!
That's a great list!! I've got Last Last Chance, too. I should add that to my list.
I just joined this challenge and am super excited! Glad you joined again this year. :)
Impressive list! I hope to read a few of those as well one of these days.
Most of these I'm not familiar with, so I'm looking forward to the reviews! I suspect I'll be adding some of them to my wish list.
Boy you have a lot on your list. R.I.P. IV
Nice list to choose from. I have Tana French's In the Woods in my stacks and may have to add it to my R.I.P. pile. I'm not always good at finishing challenges either but R.I.P is one I can never resist!
Good list! I haven't read any of those so I'm looking forward to reading all your reviews.
