October Nominations

[Latasha]

It's almost the most wonderful time of the year! Let's read something great and scary! There is no theme for this month.
**Remember, books that get seconds and thirds have a greater chance of making the poll. Please do not nominate books that have been read in the past year. Check here for a list of previous reads: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
Authors, please do not nominate your own books.

[Latasha]

i would like to nominate This is Halloween , Bad Apples: Five Slices of Halloween Horror, Usher's Passing and We Live Inside Your Eyes

[Sonya]

Any book by Richard Laymon. I can’t recall any other than Body Rides.

[Melissa]

I liked The Saturday Night Ghost Club (audio edition - I listened on weekend road trip.) Other members here might enjoy too.

[Melissa]

Another I've been interested in, but haven't yet gotten is

[M]

I suggest Psycho by Robert Bloch, or
Disappearance at Devil's Rock by Paul Tremblay.

[Robert Corbin]

Ghosts by Noel Hynd.

[Alan]

Let's try again.


Ash by James Herbert

[WendyB]

How about some ghost stories:

[Negan88]

Here are a few that I think would be good choices. Some are not very huge authors, but I really want to read them. Being that it is Halloween season I chose books that were slashers. With the exception to one supernatural/ demonic horror.

The Demonic by Lee Mountford

Escape From Happydale: The Last Final Girl book 1 by Jack Quaid

Camp Slasher by Dan Padavona

The Butcher Of Camp Barlow by Derek Slaton

Or last which I’ve heard is somewhat like Scream:

The Last Final Girl by Stephen Graham Jones

[Jen_Ken]

Thunderhead sounds bone-chilling

Halloween is not complete without reading (or re-reading) some DEAN KOONTZ! I own may of his works, and one that I own I've never read...SO, I would like to nominate From the Corner of His Eye by Dean Koontz. Thanks! --Jen from Quebec :0)

[Arka]

Hell House

[Marie Helene]

I third this one 😀

[Conor]

The Graveyard Apartment

this is honestly my favorite horror ever and I would re-read in a heartbeat

[Brick]

Even though this is in the vein of science fiction, Philip K Dick's work is very dark and very chilling. I'd like to nominate one of his works, Counter-Clock World

[Jenn is reading]

Devils Unto Daughter by Amy Lukavics

it borders on the YA line but coming from someone who reads and watches a TON of horror, it's a favorite of mine...

[[deleted user]]

I second:

Disappearance at Devil's Rock

[Canavan]

The Loney , Andrew Michael Hurley

[John]
