message 5751: by Christy (new)

Christy Letterman Fair | 5 comments I haven't been on here in a while so I will introduce myself again. I'm Christy and I love all things horror. I rarely miss a horror on the big screen and love to read horror as well. However, I do struggle to find horror writers I like. I have never been able to read King. I have tried more than once. I like John Saul a lot but his books seem similar. When I find a book I like and then try to read multiple books by the author I don't consistantly like them. Bently Little is hit and miss. Jack Ketchum pretty good. But I find myself enjoying the writing styles of non-horror writers. Anyone have any advice for me or recommendations. Maybe I would like a female writer but I haven't seen too many. I LOVE Tamera Thorne but I have read them all.

I'm a longtime horror fan but took a break from the genre after some of my favorite authors like King grew a bit stale for me.

I recently read Susan Hill's Woman in Black, which I liked..."


Try author Tamara Thorne. I have loved almost every book I have read of hers.

Dave (davej) | 3 comments Hi everyone

I've been a member of this group for some years and, sadly, my presence on Goodreads has been somewhat intermittent. I'm hoping to address that from now and would like this to be a re-introduction to the good people here.

I'm a huge fan of 70s/80s British Horror (Herbert, Hutson, Guy N Smith, etc). So hoping to discuss this as a topic since it has had significant influence on my tastes in horror over the past 30+ years.


So, hello to all and speak soon!


Dave

Crystal Marcela (crym915) Hello, my name is Crystal.
I love Horror movies but the lack of good ones lately have me searching for a good scare in books. I read a little of everything but mostly like ZOMBIE books and crime. I am hoping by joining this group I can find some good books to at least get me spooked!

message 5766: by Cassi (new)

Cassi (cassireads) | 8 comments Hi guys! My name is Cassi, 28 year old from NY.

I am in LOVE with anything horror. Haven't found a zombie book I like yet, but I love body horror, blood and gore, serial killers and spooky ghosts. I've actually gotten into Elias Witherow, who seems to be an up and coming author who specializes in body horror and twisted themes. VERY interesting stuff. I'm a long term lover of King, and I'd love to branch out and find more authors to peek at. Any recommendations are welcome, and if you'd like to friend me please feel free!

Have you read Robert McCammon? I need to get more active on Goodreads, so I’ll send you a friend request. Feel free to suggest away to me as well, I’m always open to new authors.

And as far as a possible zombie book . . . maybe Brian Keene’s “The Rising” could do the trick. Not your typical zombies.

Lisa | 9 comments Hello! Long time reader of horror, and lover of GOOD horror flicks. I joined my first book group about a year ago here on Goodreads that focuses on Apocalyptic themes and have really enjoyed the conversations and the suggestions for next reads, so I went looking for another group and found all of you!

Allie (meows_and_migraines) Hello everyone, I'm Allie. Been a member of Goodreads for some time now, but decided it was time to try and be active.

I'm a huge horror fan...Whether it be movies (campy, gore, supernatural...anything), books, or locations. Writing is a dream of mine, but finding time has been a challenge (my excuse).

Currently, I'm on a Bentley Little kick and haven't been disappointed. Looking forward to being a part of this group!

Hey Yolanda. Check out the sub-genre board on Western Horror (https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...).

Kym Roundtree | 5 comments Hi all! My name is Kym and I'm in Massachusetts. I love horror movies but haven't been reading many horror novels. I joined this group to reacquaint myself with the genre and get recommendations for great reads. I am most interested in plague and post-apocalyptic stories.
