Horror Aficionados discussion

Here's the place to post your suggestions for our November Group Read! Please post your choices below and we'll put together our poll.

After the Halloween-themed story fest of the last month, I'm in the mood for something a little different. This has been on my TBR for a year now, and I would love to knock it down:

I'll toss Coldbrook into the mix for consideration.

As an alternative Tim Lebbon title, I'll suggest The Silence, which is still $1.99 for Kindle at the moment, a real steal considering the number of authors I respect who have singled this out as one of the best books of the year.

We read in August of 2014, but I guess we could read it again, if enough people are on board for it.

The Girl Next Door is on my tbr list. I suggest that.

Read a few months ago, really liked it.

Although (tiny spoiler ahead), for those who read this already - can you explain how in the beginning, when the woman and her children and preparing to leave the house, how does she know it's foggy to assist in her cover when shes blindfolded? That always bugged me...

Anyway, I'm open to suggestions. You guys always post some interesting books I never knew existed. This one has been floating around on my to-read list for a while...

I'm just going to throw one more out there -

Can i suggest

I'll second The Cipher. Been wanting to read it.

BTW, I should have mentioned, Coldbrook is awesome! I havn't read anything by Tim Lebbon that I haven't liked.

I would be in for Coldbrook or A Monster Calls, both on my TBR!

Coldbrook is one I've had my eye on, too.

Another that looks good is Evangeline, by e.a. gottschalk

(Still can't get that picture to show--but at least I got the link this time! :) ).

I would like to suggest The Witch and the Priest

I second Bird Box

Nice one Latasha!

The witch and the Priest looks good to me

Thanks guys!

James Herbert's The Rats

I'd like to suggest The ruins by Scott Smith or Dark places by Gillian Flynn.

How about Pan's Garden by Algernon Blackwood?

I'm getting ready to put the poll together tomorrow morning, so get your suggestions in!

Adam nevill Last Days

I've got LAST DAYS, COLDBROOK, and THE SILENCE on my Kindle, so I'm all for those! THE RATS and THE RUINS have been sitting in my wishlist for a while, too.

Coldbrook was good. I'll nominate Your House Is on Fire, Your Children All Gone

Would everyone think it was a sick move if I nominated my own book LOVE IS RED? It's horror and I would truly be beyond honored and overjoyed if the HA members would read it. Of course I would also be completely terrified but I think it would be worth it.

Nominating your own book is frowned upon, Sophie.

Sheldon, I'm not enjoying the sugar tits moniker. Please refrain.

I'm obsessed with horror books, and with my latest book I wanted to make people scared to walk around their own house at night. I think it's been pretty successful in doing that going off what a few people have said, but I'll let you guys be the judge.

So I'd like to nominate Sickness Behind Young Eyes .

That's it! Please do NOT nominate your own books.

You may promote them to your heart's content in the promotional areas of HA. Any further postings like this will be deleted.

Bye, Sheldon! *waving*

Seriously, your sweet is someone else's sour.

This didn't happen in the last thread... What's going on today? @_@

Craziness!! It's been handled, though. The Wanderer has been forced to wander off.


Please, continue on with the suggestions. We've got some good ones, so far. :)

Ok just to get back on track after all that I'll make another suggestion: The Doll Collection: Seventeen Brand-New Tales of Dolls

holy moly... is there a full moon tonight? Pure craziness.

I'd like to nominate a couple of new werewolf tales from two authors that we haven't read yet and really should.

Wolf Land by Jonathan Janz

And

Blood And Rain by Glenn Rolfe

I've honestly been having a hard tine reading horror i find it boring and unthrilling does anyone have any suggestions that would seriously make me rethink all I know??

Wolf Land by [author:Jonathan Janz|..."

While I already nominated something, I would definitely be on-board with either of these as well!

Oh Man, I hope it's not a full moon tonight as I'm on night shift ugh. Anyway, I would like to Nominate these two if I may.

Ghost Story

And

A Head Full of Ghosts

You can nominate as many as you like. I generally take the ones that have been nominated the most number of times and put them in the poll. So please, feel free.

I didn't realise nominating your own books was frowned upon, but that's my fault for not getting to know the rules. To make up for it I'll nominate a book I think most horror fans will enjoy.

A Head Full of Ghosts

[boo..."

That's just fine, Jack. Thank you for being gracious about it. Best of luck with your book, and feel free to post about it in the promotional area. :)

We read Head Full of Ghosts in September

I would like to nominate by Nicky P Gardiner.
It is a very cool little horror story with a twist.
It is only 99p at the moment on Amazon as well so good value.

Really, huh? Gaiman meets Hill? Plus, my name is on the cover? (I usually just go by Char.) I might have to read that one whether it gets chosen or not.

Brother or I second Kin

Even though I nominated Evangeline, I'll add a vote for WOLF LAND, by Jonathan Janz.

Also, book 2 Shades of Vengeance by Nicky P Gardiner is now out - I have just started reading it and I would like to nominate this one as well.
It really is a series I would highly recommend.

Can I recommend The Showman And The Shade. It is a really good book if you love the paranormal.
Here it is on Amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/15...

by Nicky P. Gardiner

Lot of books being nominated that we've already read, some quite recently.

I'm going to my TBR list and nominating a classic:


The Day of the Triffids
