UUhh good question :) For this year I would say 'Just like Mother'. Of all time, I really can't say - there are toooooo many :)
Thanks you all for the warm welcome, I’m feeling right at home 👻
@Sycogirl: LoL thanks! Oh nice, I'll have to check out "Just Like Mother" since that sounds like a wild. LoL I figured it might be way too many, perhaps maybe your Top 3 instead?!!?!?
yeah, 'Just like Mother' is really wild but I think also really a book to hate or love, I heard a lot of mixed reviews.Ok - my top 3 :) hmm besides 'Just like Mother', 'Come Closer' by Sara Gran, 'Sour Candy' by Burke and 'The Haunting of Beacon Hill' by Ibsen.
what are your top 3?
@Sycogirl: Ah, I see, thanks for your awesome insight!Excellent Top 3! I absolutely loved Come Closer by Sara Gran, my goodness, how freaky was that novel!?!?!?
My Top 3 are...
IT by Stephen King
Carrie by Stephen King
The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson
Hi everyone! My name is Samantha and Im from Kentucky USA. I love all things weird, spooky and abnormal. If I had to explain my aesthetic it would be dark academia/super nerd. I just want my own spooky library that I can cuddle in with a large amount of books. Some of my favorite horror authors are Richard Laymon, Edward Lee, Poppy Z Brite and Stephen King. I love splatterpunk, classic horror, indie horror...basically all types of horror.
Where in KY? I used to live in Hopkinsville....Jeff Mc

Hi, my name’s Melise, and I live in Southern California. I have been reading horror for as long as I can remember. One early memory is reading Rosemary’s Baby in one of my grandma’s Readers Digest anthologies sometime in the 1970s. I am looking forward to participating in the group reads.
@Melise: Welcome! That's so awesome, such a classic horror book too!Looking forward to future horror discussions with you, I'll bring the virtual pumpkin spice lattes :-)

Hi there, I loved the descriptions of this group. Hoping to get some great advice about what to read next. I'm sort of picky about horror--I tend to follow the award winning/nomination authors but that also means I may miss some great reads. Always to suggestions.
@Em: Welcome! This is a wonderful group, enjoy! I'm looking forward to future discussions with you!What kind of horror do you prefer? Haunted houses? Serial Killers?

Hi everyone! My name is Mikayla. I’ve been a huge horror fan for as long as I can remember. I recently decided to get back on Goodreads again to make friends and discuss books.
@Mikayla: Welcome! That's so awesome, you came to a wonderful group. What is your all-time favorite horror novel?Please grab a virtual iced latte to the left and I just brought a box of virtual blueberry scones as well :-D

Thanks! Kind of boring but my all time favorite is probably Salem's Lot.
@Mikayla: Anytime! That's a great choice! It's also one of my all-time Stephen King novels, so no worries at all :-)For me, it's IT by Stephen King. I remember reading that as a teenager, and it changed my life forever.
What is your all-time favorite horror movie?!!??!
