Horror Aficionados discussion

Hello everyone, this is a buddy read for the book The Chosen by Edward Lee. So far in the group we have

Mkittysamom
Mehmet

All are welcome to join, just let me know and i will add you. Going to set the date for 27th September Thursday. Hopefully this is not to short notice.

Rules are use spoiler tags when discussing the story. Especially if they are important to the plot or may spoil the book for people who have yet to read it or are not as far into the story. Also be courtesy and by all means disagree but not in a rude way. Thank you

Because we have many people from both sides of the Pond and all over the world, i am using UK times to base my start date and time. So i plan on starting book when i finish work tomorrow night.

Mkittysamom are you able to start reading the book ?

I am at 4% and think its a interesting start.
(view spoiler)[wham bam right into a murder, then followed with a great introduction of working in a restaurant !<\spoiler> (hide spoiler)]

mmm looks like i am just reading this myself.

Some typical and not so typical Edward Lee tropes

(view spoiler)[typical -Start of a new life, evil criminals, usually Red necks but only one is in the this case, some historical evil hinted at, graphic examples of food.
Not typical- One of the pair of killers is a beautiful woman, the main character Vera, fiancee has a affair (although the event is being hinted as a total break of character, so maybe he was manipulated to act this way ?), Vera does not seem to have a traumatic past that required therapy.
Good book so far.<\spoiler> (hide spoiler)]

finished the book, although the buddy read did not go to plan. Never mind, had fun with the book, did not enjoy it as much as Golem and brides of the impaler. Read somewhere that Mr Lee thought his ending was not great, but I was happy with it.
