Book Blogger Hop is a weekly meme hosted by Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer, where you answer a question and join a “hop”. The purpose is to help bloggers discover and get to know one another.
For this week’s question, Maria @ A Night’s Dream of Books asked:
It’s getting close to Halloween. If you HAD to read one of these two genres, which would you prefer — urban fantasy, or horror, and why?
My answer:
Definitely horror for me! Urban fantasy can be a lot of fun, but it’s very hit-or-miss for me. Horror almost never disappoints.
Thanks for reading!
Which genre would you pick?
I'd probably pick horror, it more represents the season for me, but I don't read a ton of either genre!
😀
Horror is my choice too. So many great scenarios I like-summer camp slashers, creature feature, monsters in the woods, creepy theme parks, killer clowns etc! I do enjoy a good urban fantasy but I agree that it often disappoints. Too many wander off in paranormal romance with tropes.
Yesssss!! 🙂 Oh my gosh, paranormal romance is very difficult for me. I've only liked a handful of them that I've read.
Urban fantasy is my favorite genre but I haven’t read it for ages. I haven’t read a lot of horror. Lots of thrillers etc but Not true horror.
😀
Urban Fantasy is hit and miss for me as well, but pretty consistent in what the genre entails. I do prefer the thriller side of horror over UF. (I did go and check out Unbury Carol by Josh Malerman as per your suggestion on reading my by him.)
Wahoo!! I hope you love it! I have that one on my October TBR list! 🙂
Horror is definitely a NO for me. I don't like being scared.
Thanks for sharing and for coming by my blog earlier.
😀
I read tons of horror in my early teens, but then I went off it and have never really become a fan again.
I hate when that happens!
I try to avoid horror at all costs. It gets my blood pressure up 😀
😀
Horror is fun to read this time of year.
It sure is!! 🙂
Horror is better than Urban Fantasy!
<3
Yes so much to horror! I only like certain kind of urban fantasy myself, but horror is the genre I reach for consistently this time of year. Happy weekend, Erica!
Same! There's just something so awesome about reading horror in the fall! I hope you had a great weekend as well!
Both is good. 😉
😀
HORROR any day. I would pick horror over any genre actually. TBH most of them keep me awake at the nights and gives loads of nightmares. Yet I can't get enough of them.

Right?! Same!!! haha thanks for stopping by!
Me too I pick horror as well, I haven't read a lot of horror book and I really want to read them for this Halloween season too Thank you so much for stopping by my Blog Hop my friend.
😀
I'd have to say urban fantasy because horror is a new to me genre that I only started this year!
😀
I like this! I'd probably pick horror, although I find they can be hit and miss – I'm a bit picky!
I've found that sometimes urban fantasy can get bogged down by romance, but if you were looking for UF I'd definitely recommend the Rivers of London series.

😀 Oh my gosh, yes… The romance usually throws me, unless it is done well! Oh! I'll have to check that out! Thank you!
