Horror Aficionados discussion

What is "New" you say? It's almost a New Year and a New Decade. January's theme will be NEW HORROR. In honor of all this New-ness, we're looking to discover NEW authors and books. Therefore, all nominees must meet the following criteria:
- No authors who have published before the last decade (before 2011).
- Only books published in the past five (5) years (2016 or later).

This is the opportunity to group read that recent horror book/author you've heard all about but haven't yet tried. Because of this, the nominations and voting will take place a little early in case you need to add something to your holiday wish list.

- While you may nominate any horror book that meets the criteria, remember: the more books nominated, the less chance the one you REALLY want to read will win, so it's suggested not to nominate more than 3 books.
- Books with the most nominations, seconds, thirds, etc., have a better chance of making the final poll.
- As always, AUTHORS and PUBLISHERS may NOT nominate their own works.
- Previous Group Reads and Buddy Reads will NOT be eligible.
Lists of these reads can be found here:

**Nominations will be open until 12/8/20**

Dracul by Dacre Stoker

The prequel to Dracula, inspired by notes and texts left behind by the author of the classic novel, Dracul is a supernatural thriller that reveals not only Dracula's true origins but Bram Stoker's--and the tale of the enigmatic woman who connects them.

It is 1868, and a twenty-one-year-old Bram Stoker waits in a desolate tower to face an indescribable evil. Armed only with crucifixes, holy water, and a rifle, he prays to survive a single night, the longest of his life. Desperate to record what he has witnessed, Bram scribbles down the events that led him here...

A sickly child, Bram spent his early days bedridden in his parents' Dublin home, tended to by his caretaker, a young woman named Ellen Crone. When a string of strange deaths occur in a nearby town, Bram and his sister Matilda detect a pattern of bizarre behavior by Ellen--a mystery that deepens chillingly until Ellen vanishes suddenly from their lives. Years later, Matilda returns from studying in Paris to tell Bram the news that she has seen Ellen--and that the nightmare they've thought long ended is only beginning.
