Horror Aficionados discussion

It's time to nominate some books for our last group read of 2017! We have no theme for this month, so anything goes other than the following: any books we've read or listened to as a group in the past year are disqualified. Authors are not allowed to nominate their own books.

Do NOT be afraid to "second" or "third" a book-the more votes it gets the more likely it will be to make the final poll.

i nominate the book called planet of the dead by don wismer

The Wilderness Within
It’s short and I think that’s necessary for the holiday season.
I’ll also nominate The Red Mohawk for similar reasons.

I nominate 4 books:
1.) The Sacred Bones by Michael Byrnes
2.) Terminal Freeze by Lincoln Child
3.) Wizard and Glass by Stephen King
4.) Hell House by Richard Matheson

I second Hell House.

I second We Should Have Left Well Enough Alone, by Ronald Malfi.

Hell House by Matheson

Hell house!!

Didn't we just read it listen to hell house or was it Shirley Jackson?

I thought it was the haunting of hill house that was done...but I could be incorrect...

Hell House by Richard Matheson doesn't qualify. We read it in August.

Then I'm down to three....
1.) The Sacred Bones by Michael Byrnes
2.) Terminal Freeze by Lincoln Child
3.) Wizard and Glass by Stephen King

I'll second Terminal Freeze. I have it at the top of my tbr. :)

Afterlife by Marcus Sakey

I third . It is now on my tbr. Looks like a fun read.

I'll nominate The Valancourt Book of Victorian Christmas Ghost Stories or The Valancourt Book of Victorian Christmas Ghost Stories: Volume Two

Revival - A Novel by Stephen King

Sacred Bones!

A Winter Haunting

For those of you who nominated Hell House, feel free to nominate something else. That one was read by the group in August.
(Thanks, Latasha!)

I'm "seconding" this one by Ronald Malfi. Love that guy!

That's a THIRD! YES!

I'm going to also "second" Lena's nomination of The Wilderness Within because I liked it and thought it was unique. I'd love to hear other opinions on it. And...it's short. :)

Hell House

John wrote: "Hell House"

Hi John! It's nice to "see" you here!

Unfortunately Hell House is out because this group read it only a few months back, in August. Please feel free to nominate something else. :)

We Have Always Lived in the Castle - Shirley Jackson
Thinner - Stephen King

I second Hell House.

You guys, lol! Hell House is NOT eligible.

I'll second We Have Always Lived in the Castle, and nominate Bird Box, which I've been kind of meaning to read

OMG, right??


HELL HOUSE IS NOT ELIGIBLE AS WE READ IT AS A GROUP ONLY A FEW MONTHS BACK. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO NOMINATE SOMETHING ELSE INSTEAD. THANK YOU!

I will gladly second REVIVAL by Uncle Stevie! I have this one in hardcover and have only read it once, which is ridiculous as I remember absolutely loving it! --Jen from Quebec :0)

I don't know how many times I can second/third stuff but I bought this recently and wouldn't mind reading it either. it was on the bargain shelf for 5$!

1) Let the Right One In by John Ajvide Lindqvist
2) NOS4A2 by Joe Hill

It’s been years since I’ve read anything by Stephen King (and surprisingly my library has it), so I’m in for Revival.

Seeing as how I have a copy of Revival that
I haven’t read, I will vote for that. I am already committed to reading other books in December but I think I can squeeze it in if it wins. It has been a while since I've read anything by ’the King’.

The book of Shadows by James Reece The Book of Shadows I thought it was and excellent read, and very different writing style :)

Revival by Stephen King

Revival by SK!

I’ve read most of the nominations already, LOL.

How about The Harvest?

I'll fourth this one. Sounds interesting.

I'll second (or whatever) Revival because I've had it on my tbr for some time.
