I haven't read this one yet, but it doesn't sound as if it has "horror from beneath".. more like an entire haunted asylum . If anyone has read this, please correct me if I am wrong.

[Michael]

[Char]

I'm going with an old favorite:

Dead Sea by Tim Curran

I'm also going to +1 The Worm and His Kings by Hailey Piper

[JT]

So many good ones - especially if you like Mythos. 'Sticks' by Karl Wagner came to mind but is a short story, F Paul Wilson's The Tomb. Since 'The Worm and His Kings' is the start of a series, will toss Harry Keogh's hat in the ring. This one starts it all, from beyond (and inside) the grave: Necroscope

[Kasia]

Hi JT, we usually try to keep to stand alones, I don't mind adding a book that's part of a duology or short series once in a while, but the Necroscope is a big boy when it comes to series spanning 18 books not counting spinoffs. So good for a buddy read but I wouldn't put it on a poll for a group read.

[Kasia]

The inspiration for the "It Lives Beneath" theme was from a book called Ice Hunt by James Rollins, I read it ages ago but it really set off a love of the "bad stuff happening under our feet or even further down" as in, how dire it can get. The Rollins story is categorized as more of a thriller adventure but there were hellishly scary scenes in it too, so to me it's part horror as well. I'm not nominating it as it's not horror enough probably but just wanted to say where most of the inspo came from :)

In case you want to check it out:
Ice Hunt

[Kasia]

This looks fun, Chimera by Michael McBride

Chimera


A team of scientists awakens an organism that has lain dormant beneath the ocean floor for millions of years.

“This is Dr. Mira Stone at Academy Station…”

When the Air National Guard receives an emergency call for help from a remote arctic research station in Greenland, Senior Master Sergeant Dan Cameron is chosen to lead the rescue mission. All he and his team know for sure is that the facility has lost primary power and the integrity of the complex has been compromised.

“Something is in here with us. Six of us are already dead.”

[Kimberly]

+1 Chimera

[Michelle]

I'll +1 Chimera. I want to read it.

[Kasia]

Wahoo :)

The Noms will close tomorrow by mid-day hopefully ( I'm on the East coast) and I will have the poll up the same day.

[Kimberly]

I have NO IDEA how I missed a Michael McBride book!

[Ash]

I'm nominating "What Lies Beneath The Waves" by Robbie Dorman

+1 The Root Witch
+1 Clickers
+1 Winter's Myths
+1 From Below

I usually try not to +1 more than three books, but this one was a really hard one to limit myself. Hoping this means some really good books will get voted in. Also, funny enough, I was tempted to nominate Ice Hunt, even though it is more of a thriller. It was the second book I thought of, right after the Robbie Dorman book I nominated. I still love the writing in Ice Hunt.

[Kasia]

Right, Ice Hunt is so damn good! It def has some horrifying parts. Thank you for the noms Ash!

[Badseedgirl]

I am getting ready to go on vacation and I am heading into the Blue Ridge Mountains to a cabin .......... with no cell phone and limited internet (Oh the humanity!!!!). They include a landline in the cabin! I hope I'm able to vote on the way there via my phone and the app.
So many good choices.

[Ashley]

+1 From Below by Darcy Coates
+1 Dead Sea

[Kimberly]

I think ICE HUNT is horror adjacent .... close enough for me!
