Spooktastic Reads 2025 – Bingo Board

Hello all! Hot on the heels of yesterday’s post, I decided to throw my hat in the ring for our bingo board challenge this year. Let’s take a look at what’s on my card…

So before I get to my picks, here’s the full list of 20 prompts that people can choose from for their card:

  1. Haunted House
  2. Dark Omens
  3. Creepy Forest
  4. Nightmares
  5. Ghost Ship
  6. Mermaids
  7. Grave Digging
  8. Ahoy! (pirates)
  9. Trick or Treat
  10. Black Cat
  11. Mythical Creatures (vampires, dragons etc)
  12. Pantheon (gods and goddesses)
  13. Folklore
  14. (Gothic) Horror
  15. Creepy Crawlers
  16. Zombies
  17. Cozy Mystery
  18. Ghostbusters
  19. Slayers
  20. Paranormal

And here’s what I’ve chosen for my board!

 

Bingo-style card graphic, detailing the prompts I'll be using for the challenge

 

  • Dark Omens: Lady Macbeth by Ava Reid
  • Creepy Forest: Gods of the Wyrdwood by RJ Barker
  • Ghostbusters: Ghost Talkers by Mary Robinette Kowal
  • (Gothic) Horror: Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
  • Mermaids: Rolling in the Deep by Mira Grant
  • Mythical Creatures: The Bone Diver by Angie Spoto
  • Nightmares: What Doesn’t Break (Bells Hells novel) by Cassandra Khaw
  • Folklore: The Near Witch by V.E. Schwab
  • Cozy Mystery: A Marriage of Undead Inconvenience by Stephanie Burgis

Full disclosure: some of these will be rereads because there isn’t actually a lot of horror or creepy stuff on my TBR, but for the most part these choices are books I’ve been meaning to get to but haven’t yet. You know how that goes. And yes, finishing the list (assuming I go for a full board completion) with a nice cozy mystery is 100% a tactical choice after all that spookiness, heh!

Time to coorie in and get started (first thing tomorrow because it’s technically still September)…
