   1 Sounds like a fantastic read. I LOVE anything that has to do with New Orleans. As for what scares me the most . . . I guess I would have to say when I’m in bed, home alone, and I hear a strange noise. That always gets to me! Reply to this comment.

2. Wanda Posted: Sep 8th, 2009 at 9:08 am

   2 What scares me the most is spiders! Ugh! Right now I don’t have a Twitter account so a Tweet-Up wouldn’t work for me. I’d love to be entered in your draw. Thanks! wandanamgreb (at) gmail (dot) com Reply to this comment.

   3 I would love to read this one with you! I joined the RIP Challenge too and this would be great for that. My 17 year old daughter is “training” to be a ghost hunter and she would also love this book so I would share it with her. I’ll twitter with you too. What scares me the most is grave yards, they really creep me out. Thanks for the contest. Reply to this comment.

   4 Definitely noises that I don’t know what they are when I’m alone that really send my nerves skyrocketing. Zia ziaria(at)gmail(dot)com Reply to this comment.

   5 No need to enter me; I picked up a copy of a book after you mentioned it in one of your postings! I’m not scared of ghosts, or anything spooky like that. What I’m most afraid of is heights. Yikes..gives me the shivers just thinking about it. Reply to this comment.

6. Sandy Posted: Sep 8th, 2009 at 10:48 am

   6 OMG, I am squirming in my seat over this one. What a fabulous fabulous cover! There is just no better place to act as a setting for a ghost story than N.O. So what scares me? The boring answer is heights, especially when I am not in control. Like if I am in the car and we are driving on a high bridge, or on a curvy mountain road, I literally start to shake and cry and have to put my head between my knees. I know, I am a big party pooper! Ghosts I can handle! rnawrot at cfl dot rr dot com Reply to this comment.

   7 I’m not really scared of much; I do get very nervous when I have to drive in heavy highway traffic at night. This book sounds great, and I could share it with my teenage granddaughter. Thanks for the giveaway. Reply to this comment.

9. Trisha Posted: Sep 8th, 2009 at 1:41 pm

   9 What scares me the most is something happening to my kids. I don’t sleep good at night because that is one thing I worry about. Them getting up, getting outside. Someone breaking in. Let’s just say I get cranky by bed time. lol lovestoread0708(at)yahoo.com Reply to this comment.

    11 The Amityville Horror (book and movie) and the movie The Entity spook me more than anything…except snakes. I can’t stand snakes! Reply to this comment.

12. Ti Posted: Sep 8th, 2009 at 5:31 pm

    12 Spooktastic you say? Sounds like fun. I’d be interested in the Twitter hook-up. What scares me the most? Like the other poster I worry about the kids but if you are just talking about me specifically, water terrifies me even though I am a decent swimmer. I have water nightmares all the time.

13. Tricia Posted: Sep 8th, 2009 at 6:56 pm

    13 What scares me the most? Hmm…a knock at the door late at night. It makes my heart jump and I can never get back to sleep. Luckily it doesn’t happen often. I linked this to my Facebook page First time I’ve ever done that. glad it worked. thanks! Reply to this comment.

    15 Sounds like creepy fun! Heights. I totally get sweaty palms just watching people climb mountains on tv. I’m okay in enclosed places, but if there is the chance of falling…yikes! Reply to this comment.

16. Amy Posted: Sep 8th, 2009 at 10:36 pm

    16 I love the suspense and thrill of monsters and things that go bump in the night, but please don’t make me drive in eight lanes of traffic. That will really get my heart racing and my palms sweating! I link you on both my blog and facebook. Thanks for the contest. Reply to this comment.

    24 I would love to get my hands on a spooky book for October and would be delighted to participate in a tweetup for it, depending on the date. What scares me the most is those movies where the main character is in the foreground and the evildoer is behind them, walking past….like in that recent movie The Strangers…you only see the evildoer for a few seconds, but its enough to freak me out every time. I’ve posted to my facebook account, twitter, and on the blog sidebar for you. thanks for another great giveaway. savvyverseandwit AT gmail DOT com Reply to this comment.

26. Kimmy Posted: Sep 11th, 2009 at 12:46 am

    26 I LOVE a spooky ghost story! This sounds awesome and the cover is great! Definitely a perfect Fall read. I’m not afraid of much when it comes to the typical scary things. I can handle any scary movie etc. Recently, I was in a car accident, so now I am kinda terrified of that. Everywhere we drive, I get paranoid and tense up. Definitely terrifying stuff! I blogged about this giveaway. Thanks! http://thesmugcloud.wordpress.com/2009/09/10/giveaway-mention-2/ Reply to this comment.

27. Sandy Posted: Sep 11th, 2009 at 12:37 pm

    27 I loved the review of this book, and the cover. As for what scares me…lightning! I love watching storms, but when it cracks lightning, I’m ready to go hide in the closet. Other than that not too much else bothers me. I’d love to be entered in your giveaway for this book…it looks really good! Thank you. Oh, I don’t Twitter, but will gladly spread the word about this blog, and the great reviews, etc. Sandy Muzzley56[at]aol[dot]com Reply to this comment.

    85 Graveyards scare me the most! Along with ghosts….eek! Actually the graveyard that this book takes place in is actually haunted! I have been there before on a field trip when i was in the third grade. I could have sworn I saw a ghost there! Actually the school that I went to is mentioned in the book in a not so good light. Yes, my school is the snooty prep school, its actually called McGehee. I am really interested to read all of the lies about my school because my school was a very accepting place. Oh and I would love to follow you on twitter! Thanks! Reply to this comment.
