Horror

[close] This group is dedicated to an appreciation of important works of literature, both classic and contemporary... that happen to fall into the category of Dark Fiction. We tend to avoid the big, banal blockbusters (and the more lurid fare) in favor of beautifully written explorations of the unknown, many of them obscure, all of them extraordinary. [Note from the Moderator: A couple of years ago, we changed our group name from "Literary Horror" in order to expand our sphere of interests (and dislodge a few embedded trolls). Our enthusiasms embrace Gothic, Weird Fiction, and Noir, as well as much that might be classified as Horror, but we also appreciate literary fiction that cannot be easily fitted into a marketing niche. In fact, this latter group of titles has evolved into our primary focus. Most serious fiction deals (to some extent) with darker themes, and many works of distinction have employed supernatural, surreal or existentialist elements. These books have power. They endure, because they appeal to serious readers and provide thoughtful entertainment. Come. Explore them with us.]

[close] Welcome to the kingdom of short stories! Every month we will read a collection or anthology.

[close] A group for fans of literary horror. We will be discussing all things horrible and literary but especially those horrible volumes that either aspire to or attain something more than entertainment.

[close] Hi everyone, my name is Alex and this is a bookclub dedicated to all moody readers out there. We will read books from all the genres we like and depending on the mood we are in. This can be a cozy read in autumn or something spooky before Halloween. Adventures in far away lands in summer or something magical during a particularly rainy season. I would love to discuss the emotional aspects of the books we've read as well as topics that are relevant to us in our daily lives. Feel free to recommend authors, books, booktubers and events around books and literature. We will meet up once a month online in a private video chat. Feel free to join us even if you haven't read the book that will be discussed. Every member can present a book and propose the next read in those meetings and in polls and discussion boards.
