I know this may seem redundant and if this thread gets deleted that's ok too =D. I just wanted there to be a place to talk about horror books as opposed to everything we are reading in general. I hope this is OK.
Since I usually am reading more than one book at a time I am currently reading Cabal by Clive Barker as one of my horror reads. It is more than a general creepy horror book. Clive Barker is head and shoulders above most horror authors because he is imaginative and just plain wicked =D.
Yes, Clive Barker can really write some horror! I have read some of his short stories before and I own Weaveworld which I need to read, maybe after I finish Brimstone. I started reading it before, but I had to stop due to moving and school. Needless to say, I will have to start over. And it's a HUGE book, lol.But I remember it being good and creepy.
Clive writes with a visceral literary style. Some of his short stories I'd like to read at length. I started and lost The Great and Secret Show so many times I gave up trying to read it. LOL. Though I did like what I read. I loved the Thief of Always =D. I am now reading Dying to Live by Kim Paffenroth.
Finished Dying to Live. I didn't like it as much as other zombie horror. Even zombie horror that wasn't quite horror was a little more enjoyable. Not sure what my next horror read will be :)
Let the Right One in...can't wait for Halloween though! I have a lot of scary books I am holding off on for October! YAY!
Jessica: That is a great idea...but then about Octoberfest and 13 days of Halloween, lol. I think I may start Robert McCammon,Tim Lebbon, or Scott Richardson this month to complete a challenge. Have you read them before?

Non! What are these books you speak of? What are they about? Do tell! Shall I add them to my TBR list?
I started Unhappy Endings by Brian Keene today. Jessica: Robert McCammon's Swan Song is THE BEST post apocalyptic horror book I have personally ever read. I have yet to read Tim Lebbon or Scott Richardson but they are recommended to me by [horror author:] Brian Keene. For creep fest horror Gerald's Gameby Stephen King made me not want to read his books at night or before bed.
Ooh! That gave me chills! Let us know how it turns out! Unhappy Endings by Brian Keene has a great start. Brian Keene takes the human condition and intensifies it to the point where you believe this is very well possible. As insane as the situation is.
Just finished Urban Gothic. Man! I love this author! He comes up with the strangest beast/creature/zombie survival situations. His horror is social commentary to a point. Then the brain mashing begins and its all over for humans.
I have Heart-Shaped Boxon my TBR pil. I keep meaning to read it. I think after my last book on the TBR challenge list I might read this.
Gem: I read whatever sounds interesting. So I like A LOT of genres and sub-genres =D Post ur thoughts or/and review when done.
