Horror – Re-marks – 1000 pieces

This collage of horror book covers was so much more entertaining to assemble than the Stephen King covers puzzle that I posted last week. The quality was much better, which made for a more satisfying experience – loved this one!

I usually tell you how many books of those shown that I’ve read; and you’ll be able to tell that horror isn’t exactly my genre when I let you know that I’ve only read 4 out of the 55 books shown. Yikes, it make me seem like an illiterate troglodyte, doesn’t it?

Whatever. Even if I am, my mom said I was adorable and my family loves me – so there! 😜

Typical Re-marks quality; random cut with a variety of piece shapes, good image reproduction, very good fit, and a slightly shiny finish. Pretty good, all around – and it made for a great assembly that went quite quickly.

I haven’t read this book, but I loved the cover – doesn’t it seem perfect for Halloween? Spooky!

Haven’t read any H.P. Lovecraft either, but I know he’s quite popular in the horror/sci-fi genre; and I’ve even seen an episode of Supernatural about him. Plus, look at that creature – yikes! I think it’s called Cthulhu. Do you think Mr. Lovecraft just banged his face onto the keyboard to come up with that name?

Now this one I HAVE read, it’s by my favorite author; it’s one of my favorites of his too – though I wouldn’t classify it as a horror novel. Suspense, sure. Thriller, yep. But not really horror in my opinion. Still, it’s a great book.

I enjoyed this puzzle from the first piece to the last, and highly recommend it if you can find it. When I purchased it the cashier told me this particular puzzle was selling out very quickly. No wonder, it was such fun!

    I’ve read only three of these books (horror is definitely not my genre!), so I suppose that makes me even more of a troglodyte. Re-marks has so many great collage puzzles. And we know how you love a good collage! Glad you had fun assembling this one, Stacey. 🙂

  3. Well surprisingly to me, and I do consider myself to like this genre, I have only read 9 of the 55 books represented. Dean Koontz, Stephen King, John Saul and Bentley Little are all fav authors of mine. I have read almost all of Koontz’s older stuff, all of John Saul’s and almost all Stephen King’s as well. Bentley Little is a more recent find, but liked the couple I have read.

    I love this puzzle. What fun, indeed! It’s perfect for the Halloween season. I’ve done the Horror Novels one by Re-marks and thoroughly enjoyed it.

    I’ve read at least 25 of these. I may have perused several more of them – but I cannot recall if I actually read the book, or just saw the movie, such as The Silence of the Lambs and Red Dragon, etc. And World War Z, I’ve only ever listened to in an audiobook version – The Complete Edition, narrated by an all-star cast.

    Many of the books in the puzzle I’ve read and reread over the years. Now that I’m older and have macular degeneration, in addition to reading them, I sometimes listen to them in an audiobook format (which I like to do while puzzling). This morning while doing physical therapy, I just finished listening to Something This Way Comes, narrated by Christian Rummel.

    Yes, The Woman in Black is spooky, an apt word for the book.

    As to H.P. Lovecraft, I’ve read his novella At the Mountains of Madness, and some of his short stories, such as The Rats in the Walls, etc. I had to laugh at your comment about Lovecraft having a faceplant onto his keyboard to come up with Cthulhu. That was great. Thanks.

    I haven’t read any Koontz, so I may be a troglodyte (I don’t think you’re one, people should read what they want to – I’m just glad that they read at all, and don’t ban books!).

    1. Thank you so much for your comment, and you are the current leader with 25/55 books so far. LOL

      I’m a little bit fascinated on how fiction writers come up with names for creatures or just inhabitants of their made-up worlds. I mean, Cthulhu? Perhaps they just punch the keyboard and see what they end up with.

      And you’re right, people should just read what they want while they’re still able to. This ain’t Gilead – yet.
