Why is CeeCee in a banana split costume, you ask? Well she’s gone bananas over our newest literary acquisitions! Somebody let me loose in BookPeople’s super secret half-off section and I ended up with a stack of spine-tingling tales of horror, mischief, murder and mythological gods of death destruction!

Here is our latest book haul! In the wise words of R.L. Stine, readers beware, you’re in for a scare!

Which one will I read first? My Best Friend’s Exorcism, of course! I mean, look at that cover! It evokes memories of my most favorite campy 80s horror movies. Here’s the synapsis:

A heartwarming story of friendship and demonic possession. The year is 1988. High school sophomores Abby and Gretchen have been best friends since fourth grade. But after an evening of skinny-dipping goes disastrously wrong, Gretchen begins to act…different. She’s moody. She’s irritable. And bizarre incidents keep happening whenever she’s nearby. Abby’s investigation leads her to some startling discoveries–and by the time their story reaches its terrifying conclusion, the fate of Abby and Gretchen will be determined by a single question: Is their friendship powerful enough to beat the devil? Like an unholy hybrid of Beaches and The Exorcist, My Best Friend’s Exorcism blends teen angst, adolescent drama, unspeakable horrors, and a mix of ’80s pop songs into a pulse-pounding supernatural thriller.

If I wasn’t going to ACL, I would spend my entire Friday the 13th consumed with this book!
