Let's Talk Horror Books: Share Your Current Reads Here

[Kim]

I am reading "Beautiful Nightmare ". It's an anthology of short horror stories by several LOHF. So far I really like it.

[Laurie (barksbooks)]

I finished Bunny last week and it was weird and wonderful and disturbing.

Have you read her Feed series? I've just read book one and I really liked it.

[Latasha]

since it didn't win the poll, i'm currently listening to Teeth in the Mist oh wow! this is a amazing audio book!

[Sonora]

I'm reading Best. Movie. Year. Ever.: How 1999 Blew Up the Big Screen by Brian Raferty. Give it a read if you're a cinephile, indie-head, or just love reading about film. The first chapter covers The Blair Witch Project.

[Cécile]

I'm reading Sawkill girls by Claire Legrand.

[Sonora]

I really enjoyed V. Castro's "The Erotic Modern Life of Malinalli the Vampire." One of my favorite parts of Castro's "Maria the Wanted" was the erotic scenes, and this novelette is all that. I read it in one sitting on the bus and had to fan myself a couple times. Definitely give it a read!

[Dona]

I really enjoyed Dark Matter by Blake Crouch but I’m having trouble getting into Recursion. So I ordered Crime and the Gothic, Identifying the Gothic Footprint in Modern Crime Fiction by Sian MacArthur which is more of a textbook. And I’m loving it!

[Christa]

I took a break in June-July to read a bit of nonfiction, NeuroTribes: The Legacy of Autism and the Future of Neurodiversity, but I finished it a few days ago and now I'm on to Return to Dyatlov Pass. A friend read the nonfiction account about it and made me curious, but I've had enough nonfiction for right now! LOL

I thought Dark Matter was great. I haven't tried Recursion yet.

Skin


Skin by Kathe Koja is AMAZING. I reread it recently and thought it held up excellently after all this time.

[Sonora]

I'm finally reading The Stand and thus, August is booked, lol. (I do hope to join in on Little Darlings by the second half of the month)

[Erin]

Crooked Kingdom

[Laurie (barksbooks)]

Welcome to the group, R! And thank you for the recommendation! I hadn't heard of that one.

[Erin]

The Small Hand and Dolly

[E.F.]

Just finished Hollow Kingdom - amazing fantasy/horror with an ecological spin on end of humanity and an unforgettable POV.

[Erin]

The Night Sister

[Käthe]

I’m currently reading Blackout by Mira Grant. I can’t express adequately how much I love this book, this series, this author!

[Kimberly]

I just finished "The grip of it". I enjoyed the tension and short chapters in the book. It reminds me that my own chapters can be as long as they need to be. ;)

Other than that, I've been proofreading and rewriting dialogue in my comic, which is now available for sale through Ingram's distribution network so I can get some other reading done!

I should try The Grip of It again. I didn't get much out of it the first time, but then I read it whilst away overnight for a wedding (which was both my first childfree night and my first taste (or several) of alcohol since having had a baby the year before), so it probably wasn't the right time to give it a fair try!

[Kelly]

I'm currently reading Wonderland by Jennifer Hillier. It's more thriller than horror (but it definitely has horror elements). It's for the #lohfreadathon. I'm loving it to so far.

Wonderland

[Kimberly]

Just finished "To be devoured" by Sara Tantlinger since my power was out and I finished "Teeth in the Mist" as part of the #lohfreadathon. This was an avalanche of madness. I will have to write up a proper review later.

[Laurie (barksbooks)]

Nice, that one is next up for me once I finish Teeth In the Mist.

[Erin]

Vox

[Kimberly]

Next up is the Graveyard Apartment. :)

[Ashkoff]

I've just started Unbury Carol and have been sucked in immediately!! Josh Malerman is great

[Käthe]

I’m still working on Teeth in the Mist. I’m also reading The Homecoming by Andrew Pyper, and Discovery of Witches.

[Laurie (barksbooks)]

To Be Devoured by Sara Tantlinger is crazy good.

Buy it. Read it. Be as disturbed as I am right now!

[Tattooed Horror]

I just finished Shallow Graves by Kali Wallace and it was excellent! It's definitely going to be one of my top 10 reads this year. Can't stop talking/thinking about it :) Shallow Graves

[Erin]

The Visitors

[Noelle]

I just finished After She Returned by S.A. Dunphy, it's the third in a crime series with the most brilliant, awkward character ever - David Dunnigan. This one featured a creepypasta character called Mother Joan who's killing people in real life. It's brilliant

[Renee]

Shallow Graves sounds awesome! I definitely want to read that one, especially after hearing how good it is.

[Erin]

Deadline

[Laurie (barksbooks)]

The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein

[Stacy Renee]

I'm still working on Teeth in the Mist but also reading Hocus Pocus and Down Among the Sticks and Bones (#2 in the Wayward Children series).

[Kimberly]

Just finished House of Salt and Sorrows. I have Anna dressed in Blood left on my list from my readathon selections! I still have to write Reviews for all of these... I owe 2 actual reviews from not these books since I was given copies of these other books in exchange for honest reviews. ^^;

[Kimberly]

I'm wrapping up Anna dressed in Blood right now. I am digging it! The paperback being printed in red ink is a nice touch.

[Tracy]

I’m currently reading The Book of the Unnamed Midwife by Meg Elison, and it is spectacular. Probably more Sci Fi than horror but it’s post apocalyptic and I am here for it.

[Erin]

And the Trees Crept In

[Tawana]

sawkill girls and just finished Brother

[Kimberly]

Just finished "Raging Moon" for an ARC review, but about to start "Sawkill girls" and "House of Leaves" for my other readalongs. I am still working through a couple more books for reviews.

[Sonora]

I’m reading Video Nasties by Duncan Ralston. Some excellent stories in here — perfect for the season! Give it a read if you like Cronenbergian horror.

[Tracy]

Almost 100 pages into Diabhal by Kathleen Kaufman. It’s a head trip and I like it so far

[Erin]

It is always disappointing when a book doesn't work out.

[Erin]

Lying in Wait

[Laurie (barksbooks)]

I'm reading Sonora Taylor's Little Paranoias: Stories

[Erin]

The Last One

[Kimberly]

I'm reading through Amanda Byrd's "13 reasons for murder: Politeness Kills" for a review before the book comes out next week. :) I want to get through my ARC due outs before I do more group reads. My Master's Capstone project proposal ate most of my month. :(

[Kimberly]

I survived the peer review of my capstone proposal and I finished Amanda's 13 reasons for murder. now moving on to my group reads for Sawkill girls and House of Leaves. Since I already read Wilder Girls, this gives me a chance to get caught up on my other reading. ❤️
