Welcome to my blog on this lovely theme reveal day. For those who are not sure what is going on, April is AtoZ Challenge month, when several thousand bloggers all go slightly insane and decide to blog every day (except Sundays) through the month using a letter of the alphabet as our prompt.
Now some of us also have a theme for all our posts, hence theme reveal day to give everyone a chance to look around and bookmark some of the blogs they definitely don't want to miss when the real posting begins.
My theme this year is ... drum roll please (as if you haven't already read the banner ;)) ...
~Fictional Phantoms.~
Each day I will be talking about one or two fictional spooks, ghosties and things that go bump in the night. Some you will undoubtedly have heard of, others, you might not know, but I hope I will entertain you either way.Check out my blog during April for
- spooks that make your spine tingle
- ghosts that give you a giggle
- and creepy critters that will make you cry.
I look forward to seeing you during the AtoZ.
Other bloggers, I'll do my best to get to everybody in the list, but leave me a comment with your link and I'll definitely drop by.

My Other Blogs
I am sharing blogging duties with my sister, Sophie, on two other blogs for the AtoZ as well and we are also part of the theme reveal:And Sophie also has her own blog and is doing the theme reveal too:

Hi Tasha ... your Phantoms will be a fun read .. but I hope won't make my spine tingle too much .. cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteNot too much :), just a little. Thank you so much for dropping by.
DeleteThis sounds like a fun challenge! I'll be following! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteAwesome intriguing theme. Can't wait to see it.
ReplyDeleteThank you - I've had a lot of fun coming up with the post content :)
DeleteLoved your last year's theme and this year sounds super exciting... looking forward to read about all the spooky scary ghosts and monsters from A to Z. Good luck, Natasha :)
ReplyDeleteThank you :) It took me a while to decide on my theme this year and it has been a lot of fun choosing my favourite spooks.
DeleteSounds like an entertaining theme! Look forward to reading more. Happy A-Zing!

Thank you - I hope everyone enjoys the posts in April.
DeleteWhat a fun idea! All the very best with the challenge, Tasha. :)
ReplyDeleteFun! I actually just started reading books again. I used to read on my commute to and from work, but then I started working from home and all of a sudden, I forgot to make time to read. This will certainly help develop the taste for reading more.

It's so hard to remember to make time when your schedule changes radically isn't it. I wish you luck in that enterprise.
DeleteThis sounds like fun!
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteWOW, do I hear ghosts? I will haunting you in April! ;-)

*rattles a few chains* You did indeed hear ghosts :) Thank you.
DeleteInteresting theme :) Don't usually like things that go bump in the night, but will be back to read what you have come up with :)
ReplyDeletebetty
Many of the ghosts are a little bit silly - I hope to have a selection :)
Deletesounds like fun dear have a wonderful week ahead
ReplyDeleteI love this topic Natasha! This is one of my favorite topics. I'll be sure to tune in.
ReplyDeleteThank you - I hope you the posts entertaining :)
DeleteHi Tasha! Read on Sophie's post that you are also participating. So dropped in to say hello. Your theme reminds me of the movie 'Hotel Transylvannia'! :D Looking forward to your posts next month. All the best!

I love Hotel Transylvania and the sequel too - such great films :) Thank you so much for visiting.
DeleteFun. I'll be back in hopes you mention something new to me that I can use in a story. I love finding new monsters.
ReplyDeleteMe too, so I do hope I can be of service :)
DeleteSpooooooky! And sure to be fun!
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteAwesome theme! Looking forward to reading about these :)
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteOh man! That sounds spooky. Good one and the first that I came across today. all the best!
ReplyDeleteThank you :) I enjoy a good spooky story so this was fun to research.
DeleteWow! That is a super ambitious theme! Looking forward to seeing your posts.
ReplyDeleteJust posting about things I love :) Thank you for dropping by.
DeleteThat sounds like an awesome theme. I love a good ghost story.
ReplyDeleteMe too - so much modern horror misses out on the creepiness of simple ghosts. Thanks for dropping by.
DeleteOh cool! This should be a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteA to Z Challenge Reveal: Becoming an Author
You go with the best themes. And you're going to be so busy. I'll be back.
ReplyDeleteThank you, on both counts :)
DeleteI'm scared already. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI'm scared already. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteSounds scary good - can't wait!
ReplyDeleteThank you :) Love a good scare!
DeleteLooks like it's going to be a fun month. I'll certainly be dropping by.
ReplyDeleteThank you - glad you like the theme :)
DeleteThis sounds like a challenging theme. I'm wishing you the best in your April. :) :D
ReplyDeleteThank you - I love spooks so I am very much enjoying putting it together.
DeleteHi Tasha, what a great theme. Phantoms sound intriguing. Look forward to reading more.
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteCan't wait to read your posts!
ReplyDeleteThank you :) Can't wait to post them.
DeleteThis looks like great fun. I love the alliteration. :-) Best of luck!
ReplyDeleteThank you :D
DeleteI'm trying to come up with X for this one. Guess I'll have to wait for you to do that for me.
ReplyDeleteX is such a difficult letter isn't it :) It's the only one I had trouble with this time too.
DeleteWell, I'm patient. I can wait.
DeleteOooh. I LOVE a good ghost (or a bad one for that matter).
ReplyDeleteMe too :) Thanks so much for visiting.
DeleteCool theme! Thanks for the visit over at Life In Dogs earlier, and for the lovely comment. Best of luck to you, too!
ReplyDeleteThank you and you're most welcome :) This year is looking like it is going to be so much fun already.
DeleteI am scaredy cat when it comes to horror, but I'm looking forward to your posts of horrors. This year I'm going to try and get over my fear. Hopefully you have more that make me giggle than cringe. ;)
ReplyDeleteAll the best Tasha :)
Life as Freya
I have always loved a good scare - but not when I'm on my own. If my husband is away on business I can't watch any horror at all :). There are quite a few to make you smile, I promise and there will be intro paragraphs to make sure no one sees something they are going to hate.
DeleteThis is an interesting theme, it will be fun to read, hope not too many scary ones. :)
ReplyDeleteNot too many :) Thanks for dropping by.
DeleteOOOO! great minds think alike. I'm doing something similar!
ReplyDeletecan't wait to see all the creep-tastic critters that appear!
Cool! *runs to have a look* (I dropped by your page yesterday, but you hadn't posted yet). Let us share the creepiness :)
DeleteGood. Many comments.
ReplyDeleteGood to visit your site as a part of my A to Z visits.

DeleteWhat a "novel" theme for the challenge. The ghost of Sigmund Freud will be helping all April. Expect surprises. :-)
ReplyDeleteI think Freud might be a bit forward thinking for some of the phantoms I have lined up ;) Thanks for dropping by.
DeleteYou have got an interesting theme. All the best and I'll see you at the Challenge.
ReplyDeleteShalom,
Pat
Natasha, cool theme! I'll be stopping by for sure to check out your posts. Good luck with everything!
ReplyDeleteThank you :) Good luck to you too.
DeleteAwesome! I love spooky things. This is definitely going to be a good month :)
ReplyDeleteThank you :) It's going to be an awesome April - busy, given the number of sites I have seen already that are must sees, but awesome nonetheless.
DeleteSounds... spooky? (sorry I'm lame, I need coffee). I am looking forward to what you fill all the 26 letters with! :) Cheers!

LOL :) The only one I am having real trouble with is X - why is X so hard? I think I may have to cheat ;)
DeleteThat's a wonderful theme. Not really April-ish, but who cares. I looking forward to getting goosebumps ;-)
ReplyDeleteGhosts need love all year, not just October ;) they get lonely. Thanks so much for visiting.
DeleteI love how you adapted the logo - very creative, as is your theme! Cheers - Ellen | thecynicalsailor.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteThank you - I like to have a banner to make my posts G+ and FB friendly :)
DeleteWhy is the Addams Family theme song running through my mind? Kooky, spooky, creaky...reminds me of the time I stayed in a haunted B&B. Hmmm, a post idea? Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteNow I have been earwormed too and the theme is running through my head as well :) A haunted B&B must have been fun - did you sleep with the lights on?
DeleteWell, what can I say except that as a bonafide ghost fan myself, I find this topic thrilling. As you know, I'm doing ghosts, too, so it will be fun to see if we come up with any of the same. I'll be watching!
ReplyDeleteYay for ghoulies and ghosties and long legged beasties :) Thank you so much for visiting. I suspect your ghosts will be much more literary than mine.
DeleteLions and tigers and bears, oh my!! Best of luck with the A to Z!
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteCool idea :) I do love a good spook!
ReplyDeleteNothing quite like a scare :) Thank you for visiting.
DeleteSounds like fun, Natasha! I love all things spooky and creepy! I look forward to your posts ~Lori~
ReplyDeleteLori @ As the Fates Would Have It
Lori @ Promptly Written
Thank you :) Fantasy, SciFi and Horror are my favourite genres and this year spooks won :)
DeleteI love your theme! Looking forward to following along. Good luck and oh my you are brave to be working on 3!
ReplyDeleteThank you :) and it only really counts as 2 because I'm sharing duties on 2 out of the 3 - hence, not as brave as it looks ;)
DeletePhantoms, love it! I tried doing three last year and didn't make it. Although I was also gardening big time. This year I am only writing for mine and a blog that three of us write for so it isn't as much. I look forward to seeing the phantoms that you come up with.
ReplyDeletePeace,

Thank you. It's really only counts as 2 because I'm doing half on 2 of the 3 :) I hope to get all the posts done before April begins so I can concentrate on visiting other pages. Running a bit late this year - last year had it nearly all done by now :)
DeleteThat sounds like a fun (or creepy) theme to research! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteElizabeth @ Liz's Random Ponderings
Thank you - I have had a lot of fun coming up with my phantoms. Some letters I had loads to choose from, others were a royal pain :)
DeleteGhosties and goblins! Great theme and one to keep both the writer and reader on their toes!
ReplyDelete... and to think I was just starting to sleep at night again after reading a book about vampires ... ;)
Vampires was my theme 2 years ago :) I love a good scare, as long as I am not alone. Thank you for dropping by.
DeleteThanks for stopping by! I can't wait to read about these phantoms! (And I actually didn't look at the banner hahaha)
ReplyDeleteLOL - well I'm glad there was one person :) Thank you so much for visiting - see you in April.
DeleteSpook-tastic theme.
ReplyDelete:) Thank you.
DeleteOh, this theme definitely sounds fun! Also, just noting that you, me and at least a dozen other people used the "drum roll" thing this year. Coincidence? Or subconscious community theme? Life & Faith in Caneyhead
ReplyDeleteThank you. Yes, I have noticed that too ... I think we must all be psychically connected - it's the only possible explanation ;)
DeleteI'm writing a ghost story so this will be perfect reading for me :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome :) I love a good ghost story.
DeleteThis theme is really going to bring a lot for all of us.. Really looking forward to read it all :)
ReplyDeleteAll the best
Cheers
Thank you :)
DeleteAdding you to my list of blogs to follow for the A to Z - love this idea, even though the thought of ghosts/phantoms is just too scary! :)
ReplyDeleteNot all of them are scary - they are just misunderstood ;) Thanks so much for dropping by.
DeleteAh, fun theme. Nothing like a good phantom .. or two. :) Look forward to visiting and sharing in the fun. Best of luck.
ReplyDeleteThank you, you too. :)
DeleteAh, I love ghost-themed stuff! I'll definitely be checking this out. Great theme!
ReplyDeleteThank you :) I had great fun coming up with the spooks for each day - except X, X was a complete pain :)
DeleteI will enjoy reading your Fictional Phantoms posts!
ReplyDeletewww.thriftshopcommando.blogspot.com (No. 115 on the list)
Thank you :)
DeleteThis sounds like fun! Can't wait to hear about all the Phantoms!
ReplyDeleteThank you :) It's been fun to research.
DeleteOoh, creepy! I like that you're doing something different--what a fun, spooky theme.
ReplyDeleteThank you :) My sister did ghost stories the other year, but hers were much more literary posts than mine are going to be :)
DeleteSounds adventurous, and creepy.
ReplyDeleteThe Immarcescible Word
Thank you :) I hope it is at least entertaining.
DeleteWhat a fantastic theme!!! I can't wait!
ReplyDeleteThank you :D
DeleteSpooky! Good thing they will be fictional.
ReplyDeleteMy sentiments exactly :)
DeleteOh how cool is that?!!! I can't wait to read about your "fictional phantoms"! What a great theme!! I love stuff like this. :) I'll be visiting you often!
ReplyDeleteMichele at Angels Bark
Thank you - I hope they live (or die) up to expectations :)
DeleteGreat theme to watch out Tasha. I'll surely be there in April.
ReplyDeleteThank you - I hope you enjoy the phantoms I have picked.
DeleteCool theme. Should pair with another one I found on phobias. April will be definitely be interesting!
ReplyDeleteThere are a couple of other scary ones out there too - should be fun :)
DeleteI love a good ghost story. Looking forward to your posts, Tasha.
ReplyDeleteThank you :) I hope I have picked some good ones.
DeletePhantoms are a neat theme for the challenge. I'm already thinking of different ways you could go with that. Happy blogging.
ReplyDeleteElizabeth Hein - Scribbling in the Storage Room
Thank you - it has been a lot of fun to research. So many ghosties and ghoulies to choose from.
DeleteI'm excited about this theme. I'm a sucker for ghosts and ghost stories of all sorts. Anything creepy works for me!
ReplyDeleteYay :) Ghosts are my favourite version of horror - the build up of tension always seems way more scary in a ghost story :)
DeleteOH FANTASTIC!!
ReplyDeleteI love your posts and especially during the A to Z.
Really looking forward to this.
