Horror Aficionados discussion

A new year and piles of good books to read!

Let's get the year started with a theme of FIRE AND ICE

I know there are plenty of horror stories set in the cold and snow. Those books should be fairly easy to find. It may be a bit of a challenge to find horror set with heat or fire as part of the story but you wonderful HA folks always seem to come through with suggestions. Give it your best shot.

As always, authors may not nominate their own books.

Please do not nominate books read in the last few years.
The list of recent group reads can be found here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Have a great new year!

This is a tough category!

I'll nominate Christopher Golden's Road of Bones. It's set in icy Siberia, and the Golden last name gets the 'fire' nod.

The books nominated could be just cold or just heat.
It's not necessary to have both. :)
That would really be a challenge.

The Shuddering- Ania Ahlborn

“They only come when it snows, and nobody ever gets away.”

At the Mountains of Madness by H.P. Lovecraft"

At the Mountains of Madness was a previous group read so it's not eligible.

The only fire or ice themed book on my to read shelf. :)

Has fire as an important part of the story. It works.

I nominate Thomas Olde Heuvelt's Echo, which satisfies both Ice and Fire. I also agree with Netanella on Road of Bones.
