Dead of Night was on the already read list and although this is tagged as 3rd in the series, is a collection of stories from Pine Deep, Joe Ledger and Dead of Night. And definitely a Maberry fan; read over a dozen of his.

Eligible or should I nominate something else?

I'd recommend nominating something else if it's a middle of the series type of book and we've already done book #1.

Hello, all! First, I'm so glad I found this group. I've been digging into some of the many recs Ive found here (whitby vampyrrhic is FANTASTIC, so thanks for it :)). Now, for my recs:

I am going to +1 Carpathia for the sole reason of "Basically Titanic meets Dracula." being one of the funniest sentences I've ever read

The Kindle version preorder is only $4.99 - of course I'll be reading my limited edition, SIGNED hardcover . . ."

I ordered the paperback, it’s not as fancy as yours. Those fancy versions are already being shipped.

I listened to the audiobook of Fantasticland and if you haven't, you should. The narrators were unbelievable.

[WendyB]

I'll second 13 Bullets.

[L. Smashing]

Wow! So many good ones!

I would second Kill Hill Carnage, but I've read it. Instead, I really want to nominate Tim Meyer's The Switch House
+1 for Night Film
+1 for FantasticLand

I agree with Alan for Night Film. It's a dark, weird and very creepy novel.

Ohhh, I would love to dive into this. I still think about that Creepypasta story every now and again! I have added this to my TBR list, regardless.

I will fourth this one, since I've already pre-ordered it.

I also have to put a plug in for Fantasticland, which is excellent.

Oooh thanks for the tip! I generally don’t listen to audiobooks because I just can’t stay focused on them but I’m intrigued by how this one is, I’ll for sure have to check it out.

There are so many great recommendations here! I'm going to close the thread on Friday so please start +1 some of the titles here to make it easier to get the poll together. Thanks!

[Charlotte]

Idk if this one violates and I’m really sorry if it does but I can only think of one other book this man wrote which did become a movie but I never hear anyone talk about him. It’s also kinda new at least to me but

Imaginary Friend by Stephen Chbosky.

He wrote the perks of being a wall flower but this one is horror based from what I am reading. Idk. Sorry if it does violate I’ll remove.
