2024 Spring into Horror Readathon - Sign-up time!


What do you do when you can't have a second Halloween? Why, Spring into Horror, of course! I love this event, second only to FrightFall. Plus, April 30 is halfway to Halloween!

We start at 12:00 am eastern time on April 1st and end at 11:59 pm eastern time on April 30th. (There is a handy link to a time zone converter in the sidebar menu.) I hope you're ready to get your scary on! Guidelines for the readathon can be found HERE or you can access in the sidebar menu. Any information you need about the readathon can be found there. Please do be sure to check the guidelines to make sure you're following along correctly. There are specific rules regarding sign up and wrap up, especially in regards to the giveaway.

The one main "rule" of Spring into Horror is that you must read at least ONE scary book (which can be a thriller, mystery, Gothic novel, or similar for those who are faint of heart). I hope you will indulge the scary beyond the one book, but that is entirely up to you. It is all about the reading after all.

Some orders of business...
  • There is a giveaway during every readathon. I offer two prizes. The first prize is a $15 social justice charity donation ( I was doing this at the beginning of the event, but I have now moved it back to the end of the event). The second prize is a $5 Amazon eGift card. Both giveaways are open internationally (for the Amazon gift, wherever Amazon is available). There will be a form on the wrap-up post where you can select which giveaway (one or both) you would like to enter. Details on how the giveaway works are on the Guidelines page.

  • New this year...we are now having one 24-Hour readathon during each month-long event. The Spring into Horror 24-Hour event will be on Saturday, April 27th at 10:00 am EDT. I will be doing most of my updates and check-ins on Discord (invite link to our Discord). It's free to join and it would be cool to have some lively chats over there. There will be a post here when the 24-Hour event starts Full details about the 24-Hour event on the Guidelines page.

  • I will post a mid-event check-in here on the blog.

  • Grab the button and spread the word! There’s a grab code in the sidebar or download the image at the top of this post.
Any questions at all? Leave me a comment, or send me a message via the contact me link in the sidebar menu.

  1. Woo hoo! Glad to be part of the readathon. I'm finishing up THE BOOK OF THE MOST PRECIOUS SUBSTANCE by Sara Gran today, and I've already started THE HAUNTING OF VELKWOOD by Gwendolyn Kiste.
