I know I have said this before that I am not going to participate in more reading challenges, however I have to make it an exception when it comes to Carl's R.I.P. Challenge because i) it is fun and I love reading gothic, horror stories and ii) it is kind of a tradition for me to participate in Carl's R.I.P. Challenge every year.
So, this is the fifth year of Carl's R.I.P. Challenge and for this round, I would like to participate the following:

R.I.P. V Challenge runs from September 1st (that's today!) through October 31st and this time around, Carl has also added an additional Peril (Peril On the Screen) where you can post a review of any scary, eerie, mysterious gothic fare you have watched, be it a television show or a film. I am going to keep this choice open as I am quite keen to watch Haunted Changi but then again I wonder if my weak heart is able to take in the horror considering the setting is based on a true famously haunted old hospital in Singapore. Well we shall see.
wishing you good luck on your RIP Challenge! :)
Hooray for tradition! Thanks for continuing on with us this year. You'll definitely have to do a review of Haunted Changi as I've not heard of that.
Oooh... that sounds like a wonderful anthology!
Oh I want a copy of that book - sounds great!
I'm so excited about this challenge too. Have fun Melody!
I gotta have it!
Please do check out the books I already read for RIP V.
Good luck Melody!
good luck with it Mel.
Haunted Changi sounds good!

RIP V is a wonderful challenge; have fun--I plan to.
ooh, your collection of ghost stories sounds interesting... I want! :-)
