Yeah… I thought I remembered “My Best Friend’s Exorcism” as something we read bc I missed that one, but caught it on sale afterwards. So +1 for Malignant
And +1 for The Guardians, Andrew Pyper that Kimberly nominated.
Oh, nope. The Guardians was Alan’s nom. Sorry bout that, A. I want to read this one regardless. :)

If We Were Villains
Oliver Marks has just served ten years in jail - for a murder he may or may not have committed. On the day he's released, he's greeted by the man who put him in prison. Detective Colborne is retiring, but before he does, he wants to know what really happened a decade ago.
As one of seven young actors studying Shakespeare at an elite arts college, Oliver and his friends play the same roles onstage and off: hero, villain, tyrant, temptress, ingenue, extra. But when the casting changes, and the secondary characters usurp the stars, the plays spill dangerously over into life, and one of them is found dead. The rest face their greatest acting challenge yet: convincing the police, and themselves, that they are blameless.

Sorry about that. The link in this discussion intro does not work but I was able to use a link from a previous message to get to a listing and I th..."
Sorry about that. I did fix it, I hope.
Oooh +1 for If We Were Villains too. I hadn't thought about that one.
+1 Battle Royale+ 1 My Best Friend's Exorcism
+1 Grad Nightjust saw Grady's not eligible ... the Goodreads app sucks big time in discussions, keeps jumping up and down in the replies :/
I'll vote for Ninth House too, just because then maybe my friends will get off my back about reading it. :D

Oh man, I've been reading that book since June 2021, it's not an easy read altho it's interesting. Maybe I will finish it this year lol.
Mod
I will finish it dang it! Gorgeous looking book too.
Also apologies for my complaints to the person who nominated it, that's just my experience with it.
It's not a typical novel, but manga. I would highly recommend The Drifting Classroom by Kazuo Umezz. It's a survival horror classic from the 70s where an entire school was transported into a post apocalyptic future. It has a sort of Lord of the flies like feel but with
horrific creatures in a lone school.
I also want to read Ninth House. I loved A Deadly Education I already read & loved The Last Graduate too!

Oh damn! That looks great!
+1 for The Searching Dead
- it's been so long since I've read anything by Ramsey Campbell, used to be one of my favorites
@ Char Yeah it's awesome! I've read the 1st omnibus!
+1 Malignant Summer is one of the best coming-of-age books I’ve ever read!
+1 for The Drifting Classroom, Vol. 1Are we actually allowed to nominate manga? Because I'm keen to sample Junji Ito at some stage and a group/buddy read would be great!
