@J.S.: Welcome and wow, look at that! This group is amazing and that's pretty cool you're in France. I've always wanted to visit one of these days as I'm in the beautiful city of New York :-)
@Mollie: Welcome, my friend! LoL you came to the right place and I'm not sure if I told you yet but you have the best Goodreads avatar by far :-P
@Heather: Welcome and very awesome as this community rocks! I used to do the same on Reddit but now I focus on Goodreads and Facebook. I sent a friend request and look forward to future book discussions with you :-)
@Will: Welcome and yeah, I remember growing up, I was trying to find the right genres and read all different types. LoL once I found horror (thanks to IT by Stephen King) I found my home. I don't do audiobooks but have many friends that do and love it :-)I found a ton of great new novels and authors thanks to this group so I hope that also happens with you as well!
Welcome to HA Mollie, Heather and Will!

Hello, I am a new horror writer and I have just completed my debut novel. I just found this group and I'm excited to become a part of it. I look forward to meeting lots of new friends, and having a place that can educate me about all the great new works being published. Thanks
Hi. My name's Robert. I've been a GR member a while but I'm not particularly chatty ;-)I do listen a lot though, and enjoy hearing people's opinions.
I'm a horror/SciFi/dark fantasy fan. My first book was recently published by Severed Press, and I'm working on a second.
Hello everyone, I'm pretty new to this community and have only recently unraveled my love of reading. So far my favourite genre are Thrillers but I'm also heading towards fantasy and horror too. I'm reading anything I can get my hands on to expand my library and develop my range of genres. I'm a huge horror fan when it comes to films so I'm excited to see how horror books will affect me! I look forward to making new bookish friends!
Welcome to HA Charles, Robert and Foxy!

Hi Sophie the ghosts of sleath by James Herbert is my fave ghost story, its a follow on from another book by Herbert called haunted, which is also very good.

Hello everyone, I’m new. Kinda nervous to make my first post lol. Stephen King has been my gateway into horror books. I can’t wait to find new authors!

@Bria: Welcome and no worries at all! Stephen King is my all-time favorite author and it was R.L. Stine with the legendary GOOSEBUMPS that I remember reading as a kid that planted an early seed in me until King's IT made me into a Constant Reader 20+ years strong now :-DI found so many new authors from this amazing group, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
Hi Bria! Welcome to HA! No need to be nervous, we're a friendly group, in spite of our love for all things dark and bloody! ;)
Welcome Bria! Stephen King is amazing and wrote the first real (adult) horror novel I ever read. However, there are many amazing horror authors out there and I’m sure the members here will be happy to share some of their favorites with you. Glad to have you with us!
