2026 FrightFall Readathon - Happy October! FrightFall is in full swing!

I missed the kick-off at midnight so we are officially underway! Is everyone ready to read all the scary? I know I am!

If you have any questions about how things work, check out the guidelines in the sidebar menu or the sign up post, or you can always leave me a comment (or send me a message via the contact form). The linky below is the same one as the sign up linky. If you do a starting line/goal post, just add your link again, but be sure to put "goal post" beside your name, i.e. Michelle @ True Book Addict (goals or goal post).

Remember the one main "rule" of FrightFall is to 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...

• I had planned a 24-in-48 hours event for this readathon. I posted a poll in the Discord and the dates decided were October 23 - 25. However, I recently found out I have two things going on that weekend because...of course. So I decided to make it a 24-in-60 event. We will start on Friday, October 23 at 8:00 am and end on Sunday, October 25 at 8:00 pm, all times are eastern. I will be doing most of my updates and check-ins on Discord (invite link to our Discord). Discord is free to join and it would be cool to have some lively chats over there. There will be a post here the day before the 24-in-60 event starts.
  
  
• I will post a mid-event check-in here on the blog.

Don't forget about Something Wicked Fall over at Castle Macabre. We are doing a read-along of Last Days by Adam Nevill through the end of October. We started September 1st so there's still time to join in. The reading schedule is posted on the event post, linked above and below.

Get all the details for what's going on during Something Wicked Fall here.

Enjoy your scary reading!
