Horror Aficionados discussion

Hello Aficionados!

It's time to start brainstorming some nominations for our March 2021 Group Reads. The theme this month is CREATURES. **Let's try to stay away from the more common books that many have already read, or watched adaptions of, like JAWS, CUJO, JURASSIC PARK .... and get some newer/lesser known books in!!**

*Books read as a group within the past 3-4 years are NOT eligible to be nominated. Here is a list of recently group reads for your reference: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

*Authors/publishers may NOT nominate their own books. We have a separate author promotional thread just for that purpose.

The more nominations (seconds, thirds, etc) a book gets, the more likely it is to make it into the final poll.

Have fun, and let's see what books we can come up with!

Parasite

I nommed this in another group and since it’s creature feature here, I’ll nom it again! 😉

I'll nominate a book by one of my favorite creature feature authors - Hunter Shea

The Montauk Monster

+1 for Parasite! :D it's been on my TBR list for a while...

Nominating more than one (and seconding other nominations) is perfectly fine! Both great choices, too!

Animal Kingdom by Iain Rob Wright
Animal Kingdom

I haven't done this before but I would like to nominate a new book. Colony by Benjamin Cross.

Rawr by Eddie Generous

Rolling in the deep (novella prequel) and then Into the Drowning Deep by Mira Grant

I nominate Reliquary by Douglas Preston.



We read the first one in June 2018 but even though it's a sequel, I think it's definitely fine as a standalone.

Not sure if it fits as I haven't read it yet, but would like to nominate The Devourers by Indra Das

+1 for Animal Kingdom

This was a group read in May 2018, and is not eligible. Feel free to nominate something else.

I would also like to second The Montauk Monster and Violet Eyes

Good choice! I recently picked this up with a bunch of her other novels.

Love this book, Hunter is one of my favorite authors

I've read this book so many times and can always go for another re-read.

A couple I've been wanting to re-read come to mind, and this gives me the perfect excuse.

, Hunter Shea

I nominate Salem's lot! Since the topic is "CREATURES", I nominate this masterpiece from Stephen King! And don't say that this is common, because a very few people have read this book......

+1 Salems Lot if it fulfils Criteria, Id like a reread.

Full of all sorts of creatures I've been told

Wow, three books I've got waiting on my Kindle have already been nominated!

Despite that, I'd like to nominate High Moor. It's the most awesome werewolf book I've ever read!

[One of the most remarkable books I have read in a long, long time - [book:Creature|54351408]Hunter Shea

+1 High Moor

Jason wrote: "+1 High Moor"

+1 also fit high moor

I would love to read anything from Hunter Shea:

Creature
Rattus New Yorkus
Antarctic Ice Beast

Or something with a werewolf.

+1 for Creature by Hunter Shea
