Hey! I’m new to goodreads! I like horror/thriller books, shows and movies! I have a lot of interests and can’t wait to get lots of good suggestions!
hi Eve, I read Dracul this year, not really scary, but it did have a good atompher, some of thr classic ghost stories by M R James are truly creepy, James Herbert is my fave, and most of his books are horror gold, On more thing, if you like horror, visit Youtubd and there is a short animated movie called one winters night, I highly recommend you watch it, its both haunting and scary!

Hi Kyle,
I did read that you make more money teaching creative writing than creatively writing :)

Hello everyone, I’m Tim. I’m a big horror fan and always on the lookout for a good darker read. I’ve lurked this board a few times and decided it was time to just join. I may not participate in every group read, but I’ll try to join up as much as I can.
Welcome onboard Tim! never tried a group read, may even join you.
Hi, new to the group! Fantasy horror author and James Herbert fan! Looking for some good books to read and to just enjoy a bit of horror chat now and again!
hi Alec, James Herbert, He's is my idle!, The ghosts of sleath is the best ghost story ever writen!, I read it when i was 16, Has stayed with me ever since, its hard to dance with the devil on your back!, Whats your fave herbert book

I love the Ghosts of Sleath too, I read it on a flight to Australia just after it came out! Also love The Dark, Ash and The Survivor! Such a fantastic writer!
Alec i know it was writen years before but i always saw The Survivor as a trial run for the ghost of sleath, After all both of them deal with mass haunting, I did like Ash, But i think it was the lest of the 3 Ash books, Did you find anything strange about James death, the fact that no reason was given always had me scratching my head, i mean he was only in his 60s
I think I remember reading somewhere that he had cancer, although that might just be my memory playing tricks on me! I guess that there was enough of a storm around his last couple of novels that might have annoyed certain member of society - his death was such a huge loss, I wonder how many more books he might have written?

Absolutely, The Fog as well, I seem to remember was criticised for a couple of scenes. Difficult balance for a writer to get right I think, but if you're writing horror the clue is in the genre! It's horror!
yes, it was his hard style of horror that I liked, Oh don't get me wrong there are some hard parts to parts to read, but it was also full of atomphear and menis,
Brothers: king of crimesHey guys! I’m a first time publisher through KDP. I love dark romance books and tried my hand at the one above.
Hello everyone! My name is Manny, and I will be starting medical school in August. I love horror novels and am excited to dive deeper into the genre and discover new books. It's nice to meet you all!
hello Manny, Nice to meet you, if you know of any great horror stories let us know, there are a lot of hidden gems out there!

Hi. I am a writer. My latest book about real-life hauntings has just been published by HarperCollins. I am here to widen my horizons on horror and the approach of readers towards the genre. Nice to meet you online.

Hello, I'm James I'm a new reader and also a Horror fan, as I just got myself a kobo libra ereader I decided to join the group.I'm into the darkest side of depravity, I like anything offensive and socially unacceptable and the average slasher just won't cut it for me!
I like exciting Horror, I want to be scared (everythings failed so far) I want to be anxious, shocked, terrified to turn the page and a good sick & twisted story is a must.
I will be joining in on the group reads starting from may.
Cheers 😘
