Catherine Cavendish | 312 comments Forest of Ghosts by J.H. Moncrieff - the fourth in her GhostWriters series, but can be read as a standalone. Jackson and Kate are back for more supernatural adventures, this time in a haunted forest in Romania. Packed with atmosphere and tension.

Char | 17385 comments The Hatch by Kelli Owen by Kelli Owen. A nice quiet dark fiction story.

I too LOVE The Haunting of Hill House.

It was ok, the twist sort of surprised me.

Sort of, haha. It was The Wolf Road which was okay for me, I wasn't that hung up on the way it was written.

Char | 17385 comments I finished In the Valley of the Sun by Andy Davidson and it was outstanding!

Erin (ems84) | 8942 comments With Malice

I really liked this one.


message 217: by Brianna (new)

Brianna (briannal) Just finished Two for the Dough on audiobook. Stephanie Plum novels make great crime stories with some good humor added in.

Marie Helene | 739 comments Of Foster Homes and Flies by Chad Lutzke
A great (and dark) coming-of-age novella.

Then Bird Box (Bird Box, #1) by Josh Malerman 😍


message 220: by Char (new)

Char | 17385 comments I finished Rattlesnake Kisses by Robert Ford and Tracing The Trails A Constant Reader's Reflections on the Work of Stephen King by Chad A. Clark .
Both were excellent!

message 223: by Alondra (new)

Alondra Miller | 2463 comments So far, I've read 16 books this year; so not too shabby.

I am really trying to get my series under control; most are half-starts and I am behind.

I recently finished The Marco Effect, which is #5 in the Dept Q series.

No horror yet, but I'm working on it. :)

I love Jussi Adler-Olsen's books.

Erin (ems84) | 8942 comments The Chalk Man


A decent debut novel by the author.


message 226: by Josh (new)

Josh | 42 comments Recently finished Alice by Christina Henry

Alice (The Chronicles of Alice, #1) by Christina Henry

My review: /review/show...

A Harrowing and horrifying re-imagining of the popular children's tale.


message 227: by Erin (new)

Erin (ems84) | 8942 comments I'm going to have to check that one out.


message 228: by Josh (new)

Josh | 42 comments This horror / noir set in the 1980's is a lot of fun; Our Lady of the Inferno by Preston Fassel

Our Lady of the Inferno by Preston Fassel

Cool beans. I hope he keeps cranking these out. The relationship between Morck and Hardy is a crazy dynamic. I do love it though; strained as it is.

There are 7 books in the series thus far, though it's been a couple years since he's published a new one. There's also a Danish movie series based on the books. They're pretty good so far as cop-thriller movies go, but sadly, they cut out all of the wonderful humor and completely miscast Rose and Assad as normal people instead of what they should look like.


message 232: by Erin (new)

Erin (ems84) | 8942 comments All the Missing Girls

Not really impressed aside from the fact the story was told in reserved. The author seemed to have the tendency to overly remind the reader how everyone in the book had a secret which by the time the book ended, I didn't care about.


message 233: by Char (new)

Char | 17385 comments I finished The Nest by Gregory A. Douglas and thought it was a ton of fun! (Not a literary masterpiece, by far, but a blast if you're looking for entertainment with no moral behind it.)


message 234: by Erin (new)

Erin (ems84) | 8942 comments Children of Blood and Bone


Considering all the hype and rave reviews, it just wasn't for me.


message 235: by Krystal (new)

Krystal (krystallee6363) | 875 comments This morning I finished The Boy Who Steals Houses which was a 5-star for me!

Here's my review: /review/show...

I've heard mixed reviews of this one. I have it on my bookshelf but haven't got around to it yet!


message 237: by Erin (new)

Erin (ems84) | 8942 comments Yeah, there were some negative reviews that I read. I guess it's not for everyone.


message 238: by Alondra (new)

Alondra Miller | 2463 comments Just finished American Vampire, Vol. 7. 5 Stars.

I never want this series to end!!

Char | 17385 comments Daisy Jones & The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid and Ode To Death by Andrew Lennon


message 241: by Erin (new)

Erin (ems84) | 8942 comments How was Daisy Jones & The Six?


message 242: by Catherine (new)

Catherine Cavendish | 312 comments The Hungry Moon by Ramsey Campbell - Classic Ramsey Campbell. Folklore horror at its best


message 243: by Gavin (new)

Gavin (thewalkingdude) | 118 comments The Complete Fiction of H.P. Lovecraft. As big as Azathoth himself, but really enjoyed reading the entire work of one of the masters of the weird tale.


message 244: by Kelly B (new)

Kelly B (kellybey) | 630 comments Vampire Child by Ruby Jean Jensen

The cover is definitely the best thing about this book. The writing was bad, there were many plot holes, and characters doing things that didn't make any sense.

I listened to it on audio with a full cast and it was excellent!

Started off strong but fell apart for me half way through.

Good to know! I plan on reading it at some point.

Catherine Cavendish | 312 comments Silent Children by Ramsey Campbell I've been indulging in a bit of a Ramsey Campbell book fest recently and thoroughly enjoying reading some of the older classics, of which this is one.

Kelly B (kellybey) | 630 comments The Supernatural Enhancements by Edgar Cantero

Interesting book, and I thought the ending was great.
