Horror Aficionados discussion

I liked that one! I hope you do too. :)

@Char: Thanks, my friend! LoL it's been so twisted and entertaining, like jaw open kind of reading which is my kind of novel :-D

It is a novelization of the unproduced screenplay rather than the actual unused screenplay, but nonetheless interesting.

Even though it's not horror, it sure is horrifying. Feels too close for comfort, like what we're seeing actually happening in the world to women's rights.

I love this so much! I actually listened to the audiobook & read the graphic novel before Neuromancer. So much better than the story they used for the movie!

Just started "The Haunting of Hill House" by Shirley Jackson!

Fungi from Yuggoth: An Annotated Edition

The Darkest Web

One of my all time favorites! I love the opening paragraphs of that story SO MUCH! Enjoy!

Ramses the Damned: the Reign of Osiris
The Godfather’s Revenge
Clockers

@Char: Wow, that's so awesome to hear! I've never read anything by her until now and I can see why she's considered a legend in horror novels. Her writing style is amazing and I'm not even halfway through this yet...

Rising Fears

Heart Shaped Box, Joe Hill

The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco

I am starting a John Keel reading marathon next.

Just started "Bunny" by Mona Awad!

I just added that to my TBR list.

@Erin: Awesome! So far I'm enjoying it, looking forward to finishing it soon and well, happy reading if you get to it!

Thanks, I plan to!

I'm interested to hear why you think this is horror? It's a great work of art, an almost unbelievable story that has its roots deep in church history. I've read it five times and seen the movie twice. The movie is great, by the way, because it captures exactly what happens, shows us some details and doesn't deviate from the story. I wish you happy reading!

We don't care if what you're reading is horror or not. Please feel free to post whatever it is you're reading without regard to genre.

I'm hoping to start Ron Kelly's later today.
I'm listening to Tananarive Due's

I am reading four at a time - I have some kind of book energy going on! lol

Maberry and Konrath are two of my favs! You've got some good reading right there. :)

The Two-Bear Mambo Only 35 pages in and I can't stop laughing. Love these characters and the dialogue is great.

I love Jonathan Maberry! I've read dozens of his novels & stories. He usually has Ray Porter narrate his audiobooks. He's awesome too! I probably won't be reading any club picks that aren't available in audio. It seems to be a common thing here, sadly.

Thank you, Wendy! I positively love Konrath's series! I am wanting to step into some of his other stuff as well. Maberry is definitely a new fave for me and want to explore more of his work as well. :)

About halfway through

All Things Deadly: Salem Stories

Just started "A Good Marriage" by Stephen King with "1922" as a bonus short story I believe at the end!

Valley of Terror by Zhou Haohui. A strange, horrific police procedural/Chinese cultural ethnography/psychological whodunnit. Very different.

Quote of the author (paraphrase): "There is little comfort in hearing "You were right all along!" afterwards."

Gwendy's Final Task

Lansdale is so good and this series is one of my favs now!
I'll def be reading more.

Dark Gods by T.E.D. Klein

The Member of the Wedding by Carson McCullers

The latter is an old favorite I’m revisiting after many years.

Reading

I'm 55% through Dead Silence by S.A. Barnes (because I'm a HUGE Event Horizon fan) and will start I call Upon Thee by Ania Ahlborn next!

Hollow kingdom. It’s soooo good

Falling Angel

Inspiration for Ridley Scott's Alien?

Lingering
by Chris Coppel

Loving it so far.

Alter

The Book of the Most Precious Substance by Sara Gran.

First I've read her. Not sure if this is fantasy, mystery, horror, or some combination, but the first person narration has pulled me in quickly. Nice after bouncing off a couple of books I think I'd like if in the right frame of mind.

This is one of my all time favorites! The sequel is good too!
Say hello to Shit Turd for me!

The Last House on Needless Street. Trying to make it through and finish. I had such high hopes for this book but it just isn't doing it for me

Aww, I'm bummed. I love that book so much! I hope your next read is better.

For most of the length of Falling Angel I thought it was simply a pretty good Raymond Chandler pastiche-type novel, but then THAT. ENDING.

I am now on to Dark Gods by T.E.D. Klein....
