Melanie | 1656 comments I'm going to be reading Widow's Point by Richard Chizmar Widow's Point with Latasha over the next couple of days if anyone wants to join I'll set up a thread. It's a short ghost story novella, hopefully perfect for Halloween.

Buddy read thread for Widow's Point

Catherine Cavendish said this today on her FB page-
..And on to start the second draft of my new novel.
What do you get when you add ghosts, a haunted mansion in rural England, a 1960s folk/rock celebrity who died in questionable circumstances and a group of weekend house guests - none of whom are entirely who they appear to be?
Answer: The After-death of Charmian Rand. Of course!
https://www.facebook.com/CatherineCav...

SO I GUESS I'M LISTENING TO Wylding Hall AGAIN IF ANYONE WANTS TO JOIN ME.

When you were describing this, I was thinking, "Wait? Isn't this Wylding Hall?!" LOL!
Thanks for the heads up on this one. I'll have to add it to my TBR.

Sounds almost like it from Latasha's description! LOL

Emmett (emmett13) | 67 comments Hi all! Would anyone be interested in reading Crossroads? Crossroads by Laurel Hightower

I was thinking of beginning it around December 1st. It is only a 110-pg novella, so figured would have it finished by December 15th, for anyone that wanted to read along? (I think it is about $6 or so on Kindle)

Anyone interested? 😁

Latasha (latasha513) | 11974 comments Mod
Yes! I’d be interested!

message 2171: by Lisa (new)

Lisa | 620 comments Has anyone in the group read House of Leaves? I’ve heard so much about it, and it sounds like the sort of read that you need moral support during :) Would anyone like to read this one in the future, maybe January? Or whenever?

I've heard a lot about it, too! I'd definitely be up for a BR but won't be able to acquire it any time soon so January sounds good to me!

Loved the book and would be willing to have another go in January. I think Frances was looking for some buddies earlier in the fall so she might be up for it as well.

Ctgt | 765 comments I've been sitting on The Weird: A Compendium of Strange and Dark Stories The Weird A Compendium of Strange and Dark Stories by Jeff VanderMeer since...well shortly after it came out and was thinking of trying to do a story(or two depending on length) a week starting in January. Thought I'd see if anyone else was interested.

May 9th works for me. Don’t worry Kimberly, I was gonna let you know about it lol. I guess I should just buy this book by now. I always borrow it from the library. I think this will be my 3rd or 4th reading of it.

LOL! I ended up finding a hardcover of it after the third read. It's one of those that makes me "discover" new things every time I read it.

@Latasha: You and I are on the same page with this one! The folklore is amazing!!

Woohoo! That's awesome on the free version.
I really want to read some more of Elizabeth Hand's books. If any of you are up for another BR with her, I'll fit it in, some way some how. hahaha
I've only read Wylding Hall and just loved it!
