How does this work? First you leave your name here on this post, (using the linky tools -- keep scrolling!) then you create a post on your own blog that links back to this post (easiest way is to just grab the code under the #FF picture and put it in your post) and then you visit as many blogs as you can and tell them "hi" in their comments (on the post that has the #FF image). You follow them, they follow you. Win. Win. Just make sure to follow back if someone follows you!  

Q: What book do you think would make a great Halloween movie? Please explain in graphic detail of goriness...

The one that came to mind for me is an older true crime book written by Patricia Cornwell about Jack the Ripper. It's called Portrait of a Killer: Jack the Ripper--Case Closed. In this book, Patricia Cornwell, world-renowned forensic pathologist and crime novelist applies forensics to the Ripper case and actually comes up with a viable suspect. I LOVED this book. As someone who is drawn to true crime and fascinated with serial killers, I couldn't put this book down! She goes into Jack the Ripper's psychology, why he was the way he was, and the particulars of the case--very gruesome. It reads like a particularly great episode of CSI. The book even contains crime scene photos from the turn of the twentieth century. They're old, but still terribly horrific! And, I gotta say, she makes a great case. I totally believe it was who she concludes it was! Not telling who--you'll have to read it to find out! :D I would love to see Cornwell's investigation made into a creepy Ripper film. 

How about YOU? What book do YOU think would make a great Halloween movie?
