It’s Friday, which means it’s time for another #FaeFriday! Redcap inspires this week’s prompt! Redcap is an Unseelie Fae that survives on the blood of humans. This week’s prompt is: What are some of your favorite “bloody” books? This prompt was created by Witty and Sarcastic Bookclub! Please link to her blog!
What are some of your favorite “bloody” books?
I have to admit, I don’t read many “bloody” books, but I had two books that came to mind when this prompt was suggested. Last year, I read Queen of Hearts by Colleen Oakes. This book was gruesome, blood, and downright twisted. Want to read my full review? Click here!
The other book is A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin. A Game of Thrones has so many twists, turns, deaths, and everything in between that it had to be featured here as well. I’ve only read the first book so far, but I can’t wait to have the time to read the rest of the series. Here’s hoping we’ll finally get to read the entire series in the next 20 years.
So now that you know my answer, What are some of your favorite “bloody” books?

I picked Game of Thrones too, but I have no idea how I skipped over Queen of Hearts! Good choices, and I absolutely loved the topic this week.
Twisted Myths, by Maura McHugh, is a delightfully gruesome collection. “Sekhmet’s Thirst” is particularly gory, and the artwork is wonderfully creepy. I reviewed the book back in 2018, when I read a bunch of scary fairy tales for Halloween: https://postcardsfromlalaland.com/2018/10/15/ghastly-ever-after-twisted-myths-for-teens-and-up/
Oh awesome! I’m definitely going to need to check it out!
