‘31 Tales of Terror’ Reading Challenge (Stella Matutina)

This is my hub page for the Stella Matutina 31 Tales of Terror reading challenge which is going on throughout the month of October (2008). The table below lists the stories (with links) that Memory (the brains behind both the challenge and Stella Matutina) has chosen for herself, and her challenge participants to read. Included are links to Memory’s review of each story together with links to my own mini-reviews once I’ve read the story.

A big thanks goes out to Memory for devising this fun and wholly topical ‘Halloweeny’ challenge.
