I'm on a Lovecraft binge this month! Might even sneak some Machen in there (:
If you like atmospheric ghost stories, I can recommend The Twisted Tree. It's set in Norway in the dark time and is based on Norse mythology. It's an easy ready, and was really creepy in places. I kept checking the shadows the whole time I was reading it! https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/sho...
I don't think I've read any horror books, but I love horror movies, so I'll see what I can do about the books!
I'm starting with the Year of the Witching! Don't know if it's horror, but witches are always a good idea during Halloween!

I just started Horns by Joe Hill, and next up is We Sold Our Souls by Grady Hendrix.

hola a todos, un libro bueno que hasta el momento me mantiene es "El retrato de Rose Madder", de Stephen King. ¿Alguien lo ha leído?
Yes, The Crooked Mask was great too. A perfect start to Halloween :D

That's not it. Thanks tho! It had something to do with this guy who bought this haunted dollhouse and the dolls move and everyone was terrified and I think he gave it away at the end. I barely remember. XD
কি আর পড়বো রে ভাই ! প্রকৃত ভূতের গল্প যারা লিখতেন তারা সবাই সেই কবে মরে ভূত হয়ে গেছেন ।এখন যারা লেখেন তারা তো ফরমালিন দেওয়া ভূতের গল্প লেখেন ।
জেনেশুনে হয়তো ভেজাল খেলেও খাওয়া যেতে পারে কিন্তু পড়া কি যায় ?
যায় না । এখন ভূতের গল্প পড়ে আতঙ্কে অস্থির হয়ে যাওয়াটা স্বপ্নের মতো হয়ে গেছে ...... রূপকথা হয়ে গেছে ।
Since when The Troop is a scary book 😂
So far this fall I have read Home Before Dark, Bird Box 2, and Mexican Gothic- reviews coming soon! I
I love the illustrations you've used for this weeks theme! Spooooky

Best book I've read this year is Taaqtumi: An Anthology of Arctic Horror Stories. I've been recommending it to everyone I know, even folks who are not really horror fans. It's that good.I found it more atmospheric than pure horror, and YMMV, but the pieces pull from our mythology and folk tales, so that made me love it all the more.
perfect! H.P Lovecraft <3 the master
Skeletons In The Closetyou could try "Skeletons in the Closet" or " Child under the stairs" by R.D. Noland. take a look.
I read a story about a haunted dollhouse too and now it's going to bother me that I can't remember the nameHelena wrote: "I don't really know horror stories, the ones I do I can't remember the name of, something to do with a haunted dollhouse.

I love it every time the spooky theme comes along <3
i hate horror movies but i decided to give the genre a try by reading Mexican Gothic and The Year of the Witching. LOVED both of them, so if anyone has similar recommendations I would be really thankful!!
Whoa, whoa, so many recommendations -- how can I possibly choose? ;_;
I'm re-reading Dracula, by Bram Stoker. Hard to beat. Steven King's version of the vampire story is also outstanding - 'Salem's Lot.
I'm too much of a scaredy-cat to read horror, yet I noticed I've marked a few of the listed books as tbr. Gah! I've scared myself!
Horror is my favourite genre! I'll be reading Mongrels by Stephen Graham Jones.
Why is H. P. Lovecraft missing from recommendations literally everywhere? Same goes for a lot of the genre "fathers".
Gonna try and Get Dracula finished this October. It’s taken me nearly 4 years to read it. And some Stephen King books.
If you like zombies, samurais and vikings, Samurais of Fukushima - the battle of the dead is the perfect book to read this Halloween!You can find the Portuguese and English (Pre-order) version on Amazon! (https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B08KJJZRLL)
Samurais de Fukushima: A batalha contra os mortos
I don't read much horror but I'll definitely recommend "Ghost Teller" Ghost Teller Season 1 (Read it on Webtoons). The scariest thing about this book isn't the ghosts, ghouls, or demons, but the humans.
When you realize a book you've seen promoted everyplace as "mainstream" and it's considered horror (Bunny: A Novel) While I'm not one, I know several people who consider horror a "lesser" genre so it's nice to see it get its due!
Ooo! First commenter!
