Book List by Theme

Welcome.
These horror book lists were originally compiled for ReadThisNow.net, a 24/7 online readers’ advisory service started by Cleveland Public Library. When the entire KnowItNow 24/7.net family moved to the State Library of Ohio, they eliminated the role of the genre genius and the book and website lists we had made. I was granted permission to take my book lists and use them as I wished.

Most of my themed booklists are no longer showing. This is my fault folks and I must apologize. I jury rigged the pages that are giving out 404 errors from an older version of this website and meant to come back and integrate it all properly. However, I got all carried away with blogging, with making new blogs for my library and . . . well, I forgot about the webpages. If you are getting 404 errors, I am sorry. I’m working to bring all the booklists back online properly — the way I should have done it in the first place.
