skulls are everywhere

Hello Strangeos I'm Rachel Verna and today
I will be giving you some undead recommendations for the Strangeathon
If you are unaware what the StrangeAthon is, it's my readathon I've been running for a while
and we're doing a session for October this year where we go Trick or Treating in teams
here's my video announcing the Challenges
where you can see all the team Challenges
Today I will only be giving recommendations for my team, Team Undead
but I plan to do more recommendations videos for the other teams so that everyone can read happily
and so you can't say it's unfair when my team wins
so the first challenge and this is a challenge that everyone's doing
so these recommendations are helpful for everyone
is Halloween icon which is read a book
that has something iconic on the cover to Halloween
such as witches ghosts black cats Et cetera
so here are some books that I really like that have these
things on the covers
"In the Shadows of Blackbird" by Cat Winters
literally has a ghost on it
“Coraline” by Neil Gaiman
most editions have a back cat on the cover but this is the one I'm specifically thinking of
"If Cats Disappear from the World"
also has a black cat on it
"City of Ghosts" by Victoria Schwab 
has a lot of spooky stuff on it bats and such
"Sheets" by Brenda Furman 
has a ghost on the cover
and is also a really good graphic novel about grief
and of course every Batman cover in existence has a bat on it and usually something else kinda spooky
Second challenge is Darken Path read a
book with an unreliable narrator
I really like books with on unreliable narrator so here are some books that do feature one
I won't explain how they have it an unreliable narrator
because that would be spoiling stuff 
but they do have ones
“The Creeper Man” by Dawn Kurtigich
Also known as "The Trees Creep"
is really good you should read it
"The Girl on the Train" was a big Thriller a few years ago
"Life of Pi" by Yann Martel
“Made You Up” by Francesca Zappia
There's some debate 
whether the rep in this book is really good but
I do like how it treats mental health in general so that's
I don't know
it's like different discussion I guess
“The Dead House” by Dawn Kurtagich
"His Bloody Project" by Graeme Macrae Burnet
“A Danger to Herself and Others” by Alyssa B. Sheinmel
and "Sleepless" by Lou Morgan
Some of those are Horror Books
 so you can have fun with them
Colour of the Corpse which is to read a book that has two colours, two of the following of colours:
white, blue, purple, red and yellow
so this is kinda of just based 
on what you have on your TBR
like just look through the book you already have access to would be my biggest suggestion
but here are some books that I really 
love that do fit into this colourings
“Letting Go” by Cat Clarke
“Truly Devious” by Maureen Johnson
“The Changeover” and “The Haunting” by 
by Margaret Mahy
“Amy Chelsea Stacie Dee” by Mary G. Thompson 
also has these colours
Truth or Myth read a book based on a historical event
so in “In the Shadows of Blackbird” by Cat Winters is based on the Spanish Flu epidemic
that did happen in America
as well as
the
Oh what you call it
I'm just gonna call it the ghost phase of America where everyone was really into trying to contact ghosts
because of all the death that was happening
"Friend with Boys" by faith Erika Boyle
this is a really cool graphic novel 
that's about a girl discovering
I think the real history
it's a contemporary based on real history
“The Devil in the Corner” by Patricia Elliott
and “The Highwayman's Footsteps” by Nicole Morgan
Er, this is based or the Highwaymen and it
takes from a lot of real history
of the highway men were very thing
I suck at describing books
The Stella Special which is to read 
a Book with a skeleton on it
I know that the Undead ended up 
a lot being about our looks but
so the Stella, Stella Special is just to read
 a book with part of a Sketeton on it
so it could literally be a skull or it could be a hand or
just a random ribcage the surive go serious
“City of Ghosts Series” by Victoria Schwab, 
“A Kiss in the Dark by Cat Clarke”
Lockwood & Co, The whispering Skull
I haven't read "Vicious" yet but there is copies of 
Vicious by V.E. Schwab that do have skulls on them
and the final but not least challenge is
Team Mates read a book with undead
so I'm just gonna make a big list of all the books that I know have undead characters it it in some way
The Archive series by Victoria Schwab
Haunting by Alex Bell
The Shadows of the Blackbird by Cat Winters
The Diviners by Libba Bray
City of Ghost Trilogy by Victoria Schwab

Dead Jealous series by Sharon Jones

Thirteenth Chairs by Dave Shelton
Unrest by Michelle Harrison
The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman

Farewell.
Graham Macrae

His Bloody Project by Graham Macrae-crae Brunett
Graham Macrae Brunett 
why are you being weird brain?
I don't know my voice is kind of going 
I need to get this video out though
I don't know that felt like it went bad
I'm gonna leave the house in this makeup that I wore specifically because I was making a undead video
and I don't think it looks great but oh well
I'm kind of late for the thing I was meant to do 
but I really wanted to film
