October 2021 Group Read Nominations

[Yolanda]

+1 for Stolen Tongues
+1 for Off Season

[Heather]

+ 1 for My Heart Is A Chainsaw
+ 1 for Off Season

[Damir]

Malinae by Josh Schlossberg.

[Nickronomicon]

+1 for House of Leaves - I have been wanting to tackle this one for awhile, and this October I'm going for it.
It's barely on the past reading list....May 2017 - can we make an exception and get it on the poll?

[Wendy]

I'd like to nominate:

Off Season Jack Ketchum

Stolen Tongues Felix Blackwell

[Janet]

I didn't like My Heart is a Chainsaw, despite waiting breathlessly for it, so count that mention as a minus. It was VERY slow getting started, except for a very exciting prologue, and presupposes a very good knowledge of slasher movies. By the time the action picked up in the final third of the book, I was too bored to find it scary. But I would like to read a couple of other new or upcoming buzz horror novels.

I nominate +1 Summer Sons, by Lee Mandelo

Also +1 Horseman, by Christina Henry
And I'll also go with Cackle, which sounds like fun.

[Char]

This one is tough!

+1 Cold Moon Over Babylon since I'm in a Michael McDowell mood.

Also:
+1 for The Rib From Which I Remake the World by Ed Kurtz.
(Owned it for years, still haven't read it!)

[Grant]

Dark Harvest by Norman Partridge

[Latasha]

Oh no Janet, that is heartbreaking to hear!

[Mark]

Anno Dracula

[Jessie]

+1 My Heart Is a Chainsaw

[Emmett]

+1 Summer Sons

I ended up giving it 3 stars, when I expected it to be a 5. :9(

I'll +1 My Heart is a Chainsaw and House of Leaves! Nice choices :)

[Kasia]

You guys are killing it, this is going to be so much fun. I think I'm going to have to go on a search of my copy of House of Leaves, it's actually free for Kindle Unlimited users but I think with this book the paper copy is nice as well, so hoping to find mine soon.

[LTJ]

Fingers crossed for you, Kasia! I shall think positively and send good thoughts that BOOM, it's easily found.

Ruh-oh. That's my fear. I read "The Only Good Indians" after excitedly winning an ARC. It was such a disappointment. It's the only book of his I've read so I'm approaching any books of his with trepidation. I was afraid MHIAC might be the same...

[Rick]

Three Past Midnight: The Library Policeman

[Chris]

wouldn't mind reading "Off Season", otherwise throwing a hat in the ring for Hunted by Darcy Coates.

[Kasia]

I have two totally different books I'd like to nominate.


The Library of the Unwritten

Many years ago, Claire was named Head Librarian of the Unwritten Wing—a neutral space in Hell where all the stories unfinished by their authors reside. Her job consists mainly of repairing and organizing books, but also of keeping an eye on restless stories that risk materializing as characters and escaping the library. When a Hero escapes from his book and goes in search of his author, Claire must track and capture him with the help of former muse and current assistant Brevity and nervous demon courier Leto.

But what should have been a simple retrieval goes horrifyingly wrong when the terrifyingly angelic Ramiel attacks them, convinced that they hold the Devil's Bible. The text of the Devil's Bible is a powerful weapon in the power struggle between Heaven and Hell, so it falls to the librarians to find a book with the power to reshape the boundaries between Heaven, Hell ... and Earth.

The Last House on Needless Street

This is the story of a serial killer. A stolen child. Revenge. Death. And an ordinary house at the end of an ordinary street.

All these things are true. And yet they are all lies...

You think you know what's inside the last house on Needless Street. You think you've read this story before. That's where you're wrong.

In the dark forest at the end of Needless Street, lies something buried. But it's not what you think...

[Judy Cadena]

+1 for Needless Street

I've been wanting to read this for ages but I want to own a physical copy for the full experience! So maybe this will motivate me to fork out for it lol.

[The_Final_Girl]

+1- Last House On Needless Street (just got this one in mail)
Stolen Tongues my favorite… and My heart is … I haven’t read yet so that’s cool too.

[The_Final_Girl]

House of Leaves, I quit that one… it’s an acquired taste.

[The_Final_Girl]

Oooo Babylon and No one gets out Alive look awesome too, thanks

[The_Final_Girl]

+1- BOOK OF ACCIDENTS!!!! 🎃🖤(can’t believe I forgot to add this one… it’s freaking creepy as hell, super twisted . Is now one of my favorites! And it’s perfect for October, the book setting starts in October and in the book they even have a Halloween party- which takes a dark turn. It’s fast paced and always something going on.

[Zain]

I have so many books on my list, I’m going gaga. I don’t know what I want to read. I guess I’ll just wait and vote for the nominees.
