I thought it was really good, and quite creepy. It's a thriller/mystery but there is a bit of paranormal tossed in as well."

Thanks for the review, I have it on my list.

[Marie]

I finished this three book omnibus last week and it was really good!

[Krystal]

I finished You Are Not Alone in a day - it was pretty addictive! It was a different kind of thriller that was hard to predict, which made it a win for me.

A Walk Through Hell : The Complete Series. A graphic novel. Pure Garth Ennis. Pure genius.

[Kelly B]

An entertaining, quick read.

[Erin]

The Dreamers

I enjoyed it. Sort of chilling, especially with what has been going on lately.

[Kelly B]

Loved, loved, loved this book of short stories! Not much in the way of gore or action, but more quiet and invasive horror.

[Erin]

A Thousand Splendid Suns


Truly amazing and also heartbreaking.

I must agree with that statement.

I finished a couple:
by Tom Deady 3.5* (This was pretty good, but I wanted more.)

by Samantha Kolesnik A beautifully told brutal tale. 4*

Night in the Lonesome October

5 stars. I am not even halfway through Laymon's bibliography, but so far, this is my personal favourite, even better than The Traveling Vampire Show. This story is a weird and bizarre journey through the night.

[Spyros]

I liked it, but that character building was really awesome!

[Erin]

The Nightingale

[Don]

The Fog

[Monica]

I finished my re read of The fellowship of the ring and loved it.

[Kelly B]

I thought this book was just okay. I absolutely hated the main character and the (dumb) choices he made, so that soured me on the book.

[Xavier]

The Apocalypse Strain, a thrilling horror-action story by Jason Parent

Mudbound

[Marie]

I just finished these two books and both of them were really good!

by Iain Rob Wright

and

by Ambrose Ibsen

It impressed me as an adventure novel, but not as a horror piece.

[Don]

The Chalk Man, by CJ Tudor, excellent read.

That's my favorite by him.

My third book by Smith. So far, all of the books I have read also had a strong bizarro element to them. I enjoyed this very much.

[Char]

I finished reading Grady Hendrix's latest and absolutely loved it!

[David]

I really enjoyed Every Dead Thing by John Connolly

[Erin]

Tell No One

Great book, I couldn't even guess the ending.

House of Blood

[Alan]

OMG this was hilarious and just what I needed right now.

[Erin]

The Passenger

It was okay.

[[deleted user]]

Slowly We Rot

Surreal, mindfucking and dark and depressing as fuck. Judging by the Bryan Smith books I've read so far, this is probably his masterpiece.

[Kelly B]

I really enjoyed this book. It's a quick read.

[Angela]

I finished it's the latest in a series. Loved it.

[Char]

I finished reading After the People Lights Have Gone Off and Son of Hanover Block.

[Krystal]

Got done with 'Salem's Lot finally! Can't believe it took me so long to read it! A lot of it felt familiar and I'm not sure if that's because of details in The Dark Tower series or if I've just been picking up references from pop culture subconsciously. Really enjoyed it though!

I'm still reading Transfer of Power by vince flynn and One Door Away from Heaven by dean koontz

[Catherine]

Forest of Fire (no link available) by Russell James - the latest Grant Coleman adventure.Thoroughly enjoyable

A Head Full of Ghosts by Paul Tremblay - scary as hell. Great story!

The Reddening by Adam Nevill - folklore horror at its best from one of my favourites

[Jennifer]

Mirror by Graham Masterton.

A solid 3/5. Some of the grisly bits were fun but it took way to long to get going.

And having Boofuls being the kids name! Boofuls! Come on!!

It's worth a read if you like pulpy mediocre horror. It does have a cool picture on the inside cover so it was worth the £1 I paid for it.

[Erin]

The Good Daughter

Another good one from Karin Slaughter.

[Kelly B]

Interesting twist on the zombie genre, and set during Christmas, of all times.

[Char]

This book was crazy and maybe a little silly, but it was exactly what I was in the brainspace for. I gave it 4/5 stars.

[Char]

I finished listening to The Comeback by Bernard Taylor. This was a thriller, not Taylor's usual Horror fare, but I enjoyed it just the same. The man knows how to tell a good story!

I've only read Sweetheart, Sweetheart which was brilliant. I need to read some of his work.

Great - thanks for the recommendations.

[Spyros]

I liked it.

[Erin]

The Forest of Hands and Teeth


I thought it could have been better.

[Catherine]

Slash by Hunter Shea. Areal rollercoaster of horror suspense. Hunter Shea on top form!

[Erin]

On the Come Up
