A Cold Night For Alligator book cover with a red alligator's tale swooshing through the logo of the name. If you like books about haunted wildlife amusement parks, urban explorers, rogue epidemiologists, and alligators, I highly recommend giving this horror-thriller-adventure by Viggy Parr Hampton a read

Not a big fan of reading. Portraits of Decay is out in Audiobook. Settle in to your comfy sofa on a cold night, stick in those earbuds, and allow Joniece Abbott-Pratt, James Fouhy, and Caroline Hewitt whisk you away into the bayous and streets of New Olreans. www.audible.com/pd/Portraits...
