The participating sites include <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Hellnotes</span>, Dark Scribe Magazine, Horror Fiction Review, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Horrorworld</span>, and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">MonsterLibrarian</span>.com. By visiting any one of the participating sites’ Hazy Days of Horror page you will find not only that site’s reviews but a link to the other sites’ review pages, creating a virtual guide to reading horror this summer. This project is intended to both help librarians with their horror reader’s advisory and collection development this summer but also to help readers find another good book to read. Go to our <a href="http://monsterlibrarian.com/HazyDaysofHorror09.htm"><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-family:arial;" >Hazy Days of Horror</span> </a>page.
