Some great stories in that. I read about half of the collection one December, then finished it the following December. Great ghost stories for winter and Christmas.

Right now reading The Victorian Chaise Longue -- this actual edition -- almost finished and not quite sure what to think of it. It's well-written but hasn't engaged me like I would have liked.

David Haynes | 3257 comments I just bought Shadowland Shadowland by Peter Straub by Peter Straub secondhand for a couple of quid.

It's my second book by Mr. Straub. The first being Ghost Story which is one of my all time favourite books.
I'm hoping for great things.
No pressure!

Echoes The Saga Anthology of Ghost Stories by Ellen Datlow

An anthology of good ol' fashioned ghost stories. Thus far, they're pretty good, but my Cthulhu, the book is almost 800 pages. It's taking foreverrrrr to get through it.....

Anita (neet413) | 818 comments After detouring into some urban fantasy and scifi, I am pleased to be reading good, terrifying horror again. I just started a Bentley Little tale, The Town.

This man has a way of reaching into your psyche and making your guts twist in fear. I love it!

The Town by Bentley Little

Char | 17472 comments I'm rereading Coraline by Neil Gaiman for a Halloween Bingo game I'm playing over at Booklikes that requires me to read a YA book. (I don't read much YA.)

Matthew Bielawa | -51 comments Because I just can't get enough of Valancourt books, I've just started The Master of the Macabre by Russell Thorndike. Love the atmosphere so far...

That sounds like great fun. Currently reading E. Nesbit's In the Dark: Tales of Terror by E. Nesbit. So far, besides the more traditional ghost stories, there are a couple that I'd call proto-weird tales, and one that could have been written by Robert Bloch, if he'd been born British 50 years earlier.

message 770: by Greg (new)

Greg | 1680 comments Started reading Connect the other day. It's a kind of near-future thriller centring on a scientist and her teenage son. Only 18 pages in but I'm liking it so far.


message 771: by Rachel (new)

Rachel (rachelunabridged) | 589 comments About halfway through Darkness on the Edge of Town right now. Really enjoying it so far as I come up with theories on what's supposed to be going on. Lots of good "realistic" horror mingled in with the fantastical stuff too.


message 773: by Rachel (new)

Rachel (rachelunabridged) | 589 comments The Ritual

My 2nd Adam Nevill read this month. Really enjoyed Banquet for the Damned. He's so good at building up a spine-tingling sense of dread.

I saw the movie in the theater when it first came out. I only remember the very beginning and the end. Which is good so I don’t compare the two while reading.

I don't read a lot of creature horror books. I figured I'd give this one a shot.


message 794: by Christopher (new)

Christopher Conlon (goodreadscomchristopherconlon) | 531 comments Chet Williamson's Lowland Rider, which is extremely intense. It gets relatively weak reviews on GR and Amazon, and at this point I'm wondering why. It's fantastic so far. Maybe it will fall apart soon?

That book is funny as hell!
