The R.eaders I.mbibing P.eril challenge, otherwise known as R.I.P. takes place every September 1st through October 31st.
The purpose of the R.I.P. Challenge is to enjoy books that could be classified as Mystery, Suspense, Thriller, Dark Fantasy, Gothic, Horror, or Supernatural.
There are multiple levels of participation (Perils):
- Peril of the Fiction – Read books of any length that fit the definition of R.I.P. literature.
- Peril of the Short Story – Read short stories any time during the challenge.
- Peril of the Real – Read any true tales of horror.
- Peril of the Listen – Listen to RIP-related audiobooks, podcasts, and music.
- Peril on the Screen – This is for those of us who like to watch suitably scary, eerie, mysterious, Gothic fare during this time of year. It may be something on the small screen or large.
This year, I’ll be doing Peril of the Fiction, Peril of the Short Story, Peril of the Listen, and Peril on the Screen. I’ve got a huge list of books on Goodreads for me to choose from for this event, the Something Wicked Fall challenge, the month-long FrightFall Readathon, and the 24-Hour Readathon happening in October.

I sure as heck am and you’re the first blogger I’ve come across who is participating, other than me. I mean, many other people are participating, but via social media, not blogs. So far I’ve only attempted to read one book, Stephen King Bag of Bones but it was boring so I DNF’d it. I’ve been watching lots of peril though. A Quiet Place movies and Jan Broberg series / documentaries, and The TikTok Murders. lol
