Hello boys and ghouls, Welcome to Monsterland, the scariest place on earth. When I first heard of this book, I had some serious RL Stine vibes in my head. One Day at Horrorland, anyone? Which was exciting for me because I freaking love RL Stine and I was pumped that someone else was writing a story about a dangerous theme park filled with monsters... Seriously, that would be like a dream date. This concept has been done with Jurassic Park or Westworld, but it hasn't really been done in YA before, with vampires and werewolves. I was super excited about this book[...]

0 That's right! My choice of movie to live-tweet this month is one of Amy's (one of our Midnighters) favorites! I watched The Cabin in the Woods because Amy told me to. Basically. And why wouldn't I want to? This 2012 horror/comedy was written by Drew Goddard and Joss Whedon, directed by Drew Goddard and produced by Joss Whedon. Dude. This movie made me laugh, cringe, and sent my horror-loving heart all aflutter. SO LET'S WATCH IT TOGETHER! We'll follow five college friends... As they go on a little vacation to a deserted cabin deep in the woods. It[...]
Alright, the idea for this post comes from a comment our very own Jolene made to me on Facebook. For those who haven't yet friended us, here's what was said: Amy: Got a short run in today. The snow made everything so pretty! Jolene: Look at you running! I only run if I am being chased. I've always said this very thing. That running was only useful to get away. I'd even laugh about being one of the first people to die in an apocalypse, because even the zombies would be able to catch me. Not. Any. More. I can't yet run far or very fast, but[...]
Welcome to zombie week! I hope it's been fun for you and no un-dead have wandered out of a cornfield to eat you for dinner. If you're reading this, I guess you're safe, but stay vigilant! I have to admit that I'm not a huge zombie fan...ghosts and demons are more my jimmie-jam. Watching the un-dead saunter along the street hoping to catch and eat people never thrilled me. But I'm hopping on the zombie train because I have discovered something. Zombies can be more than mindless creatures hobbling out of the trees. This revelation struck when I read... Zombie[...]
Long before The Walking Dead TV series, I was a zombie fan. I loved reading zombie stories and watching zombie movies. But I'll be the first to admit that I might not make it if there's a real life apocalypse. I'm too slow. Lol! I do have a bunch of favorites, some of which I've showcased on our blog before and some are new ones. I'd love to hear about your favorite zombie reads in the comments below, so post away! My Top Five Zombie Books 1. My number one favorite series is written by Jonathan Maberry. I was sucked in by the very first page of Rot & Ruin[...]
Welcome to The Midnight Society’s #OctFearFest! You can't deny laughter; when it comes, it plops down in your favorite chair and stays as long as it wants. - Stephen King When I sit down to think of the history of horror, lots of stuff comes into my mind (Frankenstein, of course) but if there's a type of horror I love best, it's comedy horror. There's nothing better than looking at something terrifying, and having a laugh. I'm sure that when people were first on this planet they were out there clubbing their dinner and laughing over the spray of blood, so the h[...]
(NOTE: I will keep this review as spoiler-free as possible, for those who have not seen the first episode of Fear the Walking Dead yet.) I was very pleasantly surprised by the premiere of Fear the Walking Dead (FTWD) this past Sunday. I believe it actually has the potential to be a better show than its predecessor, if the show doesn’t squander its biggest asset--the fact that it’s set before the full-blown zombie apocalypse. See, I don’t care why the outbreak started--in fact, I hope we never find out. What FTWD is exploring so far (and granted, it’s o[...]
Hey everyone! My name is Jenna J. and I am new around here!!! I am super excited to be a part of The Midnight Society!!! Like, you really don’t understand the depths of my excitement. I am a writer who loves horror, young adult novels, and watching endless amounts of Netflix. I am a twenty something girl who lives in California and works in accounting at a university. I am someone who is still trying to figure out where I belong and what I belong to. I am an introvert to the core and I am not very good with people. But that’s all the boring stuff. On to[...]

With BEA a mere two weeks away, I'm finding it hard to focus on every day tasks. I mean, come on. What could be better that 4 days in New York, books, authors, friends, etc?! The one stressful part is just how to get around to see all of the amazing authors. My first year, I met Melissa Marr. I actually stood in line for 2 hours just to make sure to get an ARC of Carnival of Souls. Last year, I was thrilled to finally meet Holly Black--The Darkest Part of the Forest. I mean, come on...Holly and I had matching hair! How much cooler can you get? Talk about two awe[...]
