Jenimightread | 3 comments Just finished a new author's book The Obsidian as well. While I don't think it's as scary as some I've read it's fucking twisty and gory at parts.

LOL Lovecraftian llamas - I can see a possible story about that!

Jo12 | 8 comments Not sure where to ask this question but would Dark Matter and Recursion by Blake Crouch belong in this group? They are memory altering stories. I've already read DM and am currently reading Recursion. I think both would be great discussion books. These books don't seem to fall into any Sci-Fi groups I have seen. Thx!

Ketamine Addicted Pandas Dawn of the Pandas by Dani Brown

And several other books by Dani Brown. A veritable shitfest of extreme bizarro fucktion.

Are you wondering if the Crouch stories would qualify as horror? We use a fairly wide definition of horror here: if the story sends shivers up your spine or keeps you up at night, it's horror. :)
Crouch is popular with our group.

Char | 17385 comments Yeah, anything by Crouch will be good, no matter what genre it's labeled.

I finished up Terminal by Michaelbrent Collings and thought it was a suspenseful and scary story!

Marie | 3995 comments I read these two in the last couple of weeks!

Kin by Kealan Patrick Burke by Kealan Patrick Burke
This book was extreme, but it was really good!

Sick House by Jeff Strand by Jeff Strand
This book was really good too and has some extreme parts mixed with vengeful ghosts!

The Boys from Brazil by Ira Levin

It's a shame Ira Levin only wrote a few books, and only half of them were horror/thrillers, because he wrote some damn fine books.

I really liked this one but I wasn't quite sold on the ending.

Perfect for Halloween

Erin (ems84) | 8942 comments The Wife Between Us

A little overhyped, in my opinion.

Monica Go | 868 comments I finished Hannibal and I really enjoyed it. Maybe the best in the series.

David Haynes | 3257 comments Just finished Shadowland Shadowland by Peter Straub by Peter Straub
Whilst I really enjoyed it, I struggled a little with the ending and following the magic!

The end sealed it for me, pretty enjoyable.

I'm looking forward to the TV series on Showtime. I hope they don't mess it up.

I finished up In Darkness, Delight: Creatures of the Night In Darkness, Delight Creatures of the Night by Andrew Lennon and thought it was a top notch collection.

Char | 17385 comments Emergency Skin by N.K. Jemisin . This was excellent. Short and excellent.


message 520: by Christian (new)

Erin (ems84) | 8942 comments Foe

Not as strong as I'm Thinking of Ending Things but still a good read.


message 544: by Greg (new)

Greg | 1680 comments This month, I've read two books so far - a sci-fi thriller (Connect by Julian Gough) and a YA horror (Cirque Du Freak #3: Tunnels of Blood: Book 3 in the Saga of Darren Shan by Darren Shan). Both were 4-star reads for me though they were written for different age audiences.

Baz MW (bazcatt) Just finished The Secret of Crickley Hall by James Herbert and absolutely loved it.
So often am I recommended haunted house and ghost books that end up being a 300 page work without barely a mention of ghosts (sorry Peter Straub, I'm looking at you).

Crickley is the quintessential haunted house story. So many ghost encounters, good and bad spirits and in a fantastic setting. Solid 5 star rating.
Perfect start to the spooky season.

The Secret of Crickley Hall by James Herbert

Catherine Cavendish | 312 comments The latest from Frazer Lee - Hearthstone Cottage. Just right for the season - Remote Scottish location, two young couples, and something supernatural targeting them...
