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.
