Overview


The board is to be filled out from October 1st of the featured year, until the  September 30th of the following year. The idea is to fill out the board with mostly horror novels to bring spooky vibes all year round. Fill it out however you would like! You can do the standard bingo techniques by completely 5 squares vertically, horizontally or diagonally. Or try to complete the entire board!

Rules: 
  • Other genres may be used, but try to limit it to 2-3 of the spaces (more if youre doing a complete board cover)
    • As long as horror/thriller is typically attached to the book, either by word of mouth or in tags on book sites, it counts for horror! All levels of horror readers are welcome
  • Limit novellas to 2-3 of the spaces (or more for complete board cover)
  • Rereads can be used except for the 5 star read space
  • Freebie space! Since there is not technically a free space, any one space can be deemed as a free space and you can opt out of that prompt
  • You can repeat books for multiple spots, but for hard mode you cannot repeat books and 1 book = 1 space
